[A BITCH WHO JUST MURDERED ICHIBAN IN COLDASS BLOOD really just crumbling with 2 pounds of mental force exerted against his fragile mind. Incredible.

He looks down at where they're holding his wrist. After a second, quietly:]


I have to find a place to pray.
faithkept: (but if the silence takes you)

[HE WOULD JUDGE THAT IF HE WASN'T ON THE CUSP OF DISSOCIATING.

He'd also kick up a fuss about being led by the hand to go find a spot to pray by this weird bozo normally, but he's too out of it for that at the moment so. AWAY THEY GO... He walks a bit like a ghost, quiet and detached, a little microcosm of his own stupid self-inflicted misery and confusion.

If Famine wanders all the way out to the ranch, that's where Lucas will stop, moving to slip his hand away so he can go to the spot he'd left Ichiban's body and settle down to pray. ENJOY COUNTING SHEEP HE'LL BE A WHILE.]

[NO HE DOESN'T!!!!

Well, that's not quite right.]


I trust that you'll see to them with respect, but I've never been unable to complete this before... What of his soul?
faithkept: (in my head)

[HE'S A LITTLE FREAK WHO'S JUST GOING TO GET WEIRDER!!!!!

But for now he's just a little freak who's going to get more furious and upset and distraught because he's trying to disentangle like 50 different highly complex things internally on top of processing his First Non-Reliver Murder on top of accidental detox that he still isn't entirely aware he's going through on top of questioning why a benevolent god would ask such terrible things of him even as a final horrible hurdle. He can't even properly send off Ichiban's SOUL LIKE THIS!!!!

Also his prayers might be being interrupted by goat gospel anyway so this is just a time of increasing internal frenzy that is not helping him calm down at all. Throughout his attempts at recentering he's just melting (not literal) until he's basically folded in half where he kneels, arms curled around himself like he's trying to physically contain all these rancid vibes or maybe restrain himself from being taken by the violence spirit.

AND YET. HE KEEPS TRYING.]

[SOMEHOW IT'S SO MUCH MORE AWKWARD WHEN PEOPLE ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED THIS IS WHAT HE'S DISCOVERING THIS WEEKEND.

Lucas just stands there with his pecked hands tucked around his middle, looking a little discomforted and hesitant and not at all like someone who would fucking rip a man's heart out of his ribcage.]


Hello, Pesto... Cloud and I were hoping that you may have an answer to this. Would it be at all possible to have a list of the sort of abilities at play, without naming monsters or further detail? We agree it may be a bit too much information, but there's surely no harm in asking.

[>:/

There's a little hesitant pause before he nods, though.]


It's a necessary step.
faithkept: (i can see my baby swinging)

[this tbh

He doesn't move when they come over and doesn't seem to react to either the touch or the words, as internally focused as he is. But they'll probably notice that he's shaking a little because i aki have decided he's not having a hard enough time. Get sick from your cold turkeying idiod.]

[I'M REALLY DOING THIS TO HIM AND NOW LUCAS IS REALLY DOING THIS TO THEM what is this you ask

well

Being in such a frazzled state he does not take well to being suddenly picked up, so he reflexively goes on the fucking attack HELP. HE JUST SITS BOLT UPRIGHT AND LUNGES FOR THEIR SHOULDERS FROM THEIR ARMS LIKE HE'S TRYING TO KNOCK THEM BOTH OFF BALANCE.]
faithkept: (say if i had a heart)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-06-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[LOOK HE JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF HE COULD GET heart HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE INTERROGATED. WHAT ARE YOU, A COP.]

There is, yes.

[Gazing at them.]
faithkept: (and we're bound here)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-06-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[FUCKING HELP well, that is true, hopefully he didn't bruise them...

Not that he's in a state to check at the moment HE JUST LOOKS FERAL and also very pale and a lil sweaty but sometimes you push through the terrible side effects of detox because you're on the verge of a breakdown and just want to bite someone's windpipe out with your teeth.

He does not do this. But he does sort of push away from them, hand at his side and eyes wild.]
faithkept: (so they may have a chance)

What do you find so interesting about it...?

[Is it the rocks or is it the water...]
faithkept: (in water cool and cleansing)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-06-24 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A PERSON WHO JUST MURDERS AND YET.]

Ah— No need to apologize, that's more than I expected. I think it may be helpful, at least...

[He says, not knowing a damn thing about like 90% of mythological creatures and monsters.]
