[ this is hilarious actually? hanging out with emet is proving to be generally hilarious
vax just sort of watches him get accosted by flowers and shrieking ghosts because he is very unhelpful. ]
Think they'll get off your back if you just pick one.

[ library time!!
vax is really not a library person compared to others (percy) but nevertheless, he's poking through the different books on the shelves and looking around when he spots emet, who is very hard to miss.
eventually, he comes over to peer at what he's doing, leaning on the back of his chair. ]

[ hello emet did you hear about all that commotion
vax is (mumbles in state of injuries) but is stabilized to the point he's not about to fucking eat it! he is all kinds of fucked up, sporting all sorts of bandages, and is sitting in the medbay like a good boy.
for now. he does seem kind of not there, distracted, hood pulled up over his head and is playing with something in his hand. ]

[ vax can, tragically, still not walk so that's going to have to be the medbay, most likely. it's okay - he locked eyes with emet at one point and knew they were feeling something roughly along the same lines, so.
he's got his hood pulled over his head where he's propped up in a medbay bed, and doesn't look cheerful for it, mouth drawn into a tight line. ]
Some outcome.
[ what a hollow victory. ]

[ hey emet!
on monday, vax can be found... cleaning up the cemetery! it's currently winter, it seems, and he's bundled up in his cloak but nothing warmer, sitting cross legged in front of one of the tombstones with a cloth in hand.
it looks like he's cleaning the tombstones! aw. ]

[ well
vax probably got let in by percy today so he's here in the crystalline apartment! in the midst of dropping his hood and scrubbing his hands over his face. emet's hard to miss, though, so he glances up when he sees him, and then offers a little sup nod. ]

Hey, big guy.
[here we are, living in the void- or just the crystalline apartment at some point during their hurried conferences.
and in the middle of all of this, a bubble catches emet-selch and vax, and he reaches out to try to pop it or otherwise break free--
but what happens instead is: it glows yellow, and vax sees this memory (up to 1:12:45).
one of the people at this table, a brown-haired human man (ignore the lizard in the video), claims to know him, but a version of him which exists in the future. to hail from a future for his world that he simply cannot stomach. this isn't--
he refuses to accept this. it can't be the truth. they do not know him.]

[ you do not know me.
by now, vax is used to the gravity of emet's voice, but there's something even heavier, about that. loss, sorrow, pain - the idea of losing an entire world, and someone showing up to tell you that you were trying to desperately put it back together?
... loss can push people to terrible things.
vax doesn't say that, though. he opens his mouth and closes it, letting the moment linger between them for a second. ]
...What happened after? [ that little memory. ]

[he brings vax back to his own room, probably, at some point. if he wants to talk to percy first, he'll let him. but they end up here, at some point, door closed to the rest of the apartment.]
...Vax'ildan. [it merits full-naming him.] Are you certain you ought to do it?
...Vax'ildan. [it merits full-naming him.] Are you certain you ought to do it?
[ he may look! vax has peeled himself out of the top of his deathwalkers ward, and is in the process of changing clothes and bandages, so. he just pauses as he's pulling his meme sweatshirt over his head and leaves it like that, letting emet examine him. he's still definitely hurt! but everything is cleaned and stitched and bandaged! partial mummy. ]
Think I need a few more hours to wrap it up, but I'll be gentle.
[ so, tomorrow. he wants to make sure he gets the others in here first. ]

[ emet hasn't been around much today. vax is not an idiot, he can probably guess why, but also? it's just him? what are you worried about
anyway he's going to go stealth about to try and find emet. he is very sneaky. so sneaky i rolled 17 + 17 = 32
time to stealth to the simulations room. ]

[well idk what emet's modifiers are but he got a 9 so like. vax can 100% sneak up on him.
and what he finds, in the simulation room, is emet-selch in amaurot. the city gleams, practically, tall and beautiful spired buildings reaching up into the sky, figures in black robes and white masks strolling from one place to another.
he's lying beneath a tree, on a patch of grass; its leaves are soft shades of purple and blue. his arms are folded behind his head, gaze fixed up into the sky, and the feeling coming from him is just...
well. homesickness.]

[well. hello. emet-selch is currently in a closet, with bass, who texted both of them individually to meet here. how well does he fit in this closet? we don't know.
anyway, he glances up whenever vax shows up, brow furrowed.]
...surely there were better meeting places than this.

[ somewhere hythlodaeus is having the time of his life
is this the infinity closet? what is happening
anyway i guess he's in here now? emotional vibes are just vastly amused as he pockets his phone. ]
's Bass trying to get you a makeover, or something?

[everyone's pc calls will be very funny if the mods tell us A Thing happens IMMEDIATELY post minievent but you know what? time is fake.
at some point wednesday, emet-selch calls vax over to the crystalline apartment, where he's just seated on his bed with a book on flowers, propped against the pillows. hewwo. join him.]

[ waves nebulous hand in time
anyway, here is vax! im gonna just assume he got let in. he's dressed in a casual fit once again, and nudges the door shut with the heel of his boot before coming to flop bodily onto the bed. it is so big. this lands him sort of near emet's hip, which is good enough, and he rolls over on his back to look at him. ]
Hey, big guy. [ the emotions are warm! just overall Warm. maybe a little tired? he's sporting some pretty fantastic dark circles but thats fine. ]

[ now with an actual sunday pc!
vax was gone for most of the time after execution, splitting his time between ruby and vin, for the most part - but with the two of them now safely in other people's hands, he's still kind of hard to find.
... however. a check in the simulation room might yield results.
the setting is somber, but very familiar -- it's that church, again. the architecture of the inside looks like delicately carved bone instead of brick, and the massive sweeping steeple above his head ends in a dome, where stained glass shines a kaleidoscope of colors onto the white floor.
in the middle of the room is the blood pool from last week's execution. the statue with the strange mask stands tall just above it, and there's a figure draped on the shoulder of it, a raven feathered wing hanging down vertical over the front like a cloak.
said wing is attached to vax'ildan, who's laying here with his hands folded on his chest, looking up at the stained glass. this is, of course, Raven's Crest.
when he hears the door open, he glances down, though. he's far away enough that his emotions are faint, considering he's a good twenty feet in the air, but there's a quiet warmth of recognition alongside a melancholy. ]

Hey.
[ amazingly, on tuesday afternoon, emet can find vax in the pillow fort, though... it looks like he could be working on something. there's a small notebook in front of him, and he appears to be writing things down in black pen, laying on his stomach among all of the pillows.
vax is sporting wings, again, today - they're big and inky black, the shine of the feathers occasionally reflecting a little blue, and draped over him like an extra blanket. that part's normal - however, there are more feathers visible at his temples today, little ones along his cheekbones, and those are not. his clothes have wing holes but he's in a cute fit.
but he's vibing! wow. the productive clever vaxildan. ]

[ the way i started this pc with "you up" like five times before i actually picked something to do
anyway crystalline apartment hours. vax is here, sprawled out on emet's bed, wings taking up an enormous amount of space, the notebook he was writing in on tuesday on his face. he has given up thinking. ]

[ hateful. this is hateful.
vax is here! at the medbay. he's just kind of sitting in here, still covered in blood, hands folded together at his mouth and just. staring. all of his features of this week are just - melty, at the moment, that same black slick oil, though the feathers around his ears and in his hair are poofed up like he's mad.
it's fine. hi. in the right place this time! ]

[he's had some healing by now! so he's probably, you know. conscious and not about to die from his punctured lung. however i do not know the current extent of it so he is nebulously still fucked up.
anyway, when he's conscious again, he looks up, and--
ah. of course vax is here.
he manages a lopsided smile.]
I hope you have not-- waited long.
[considering the extent of the chest and back injuries he may or may not still have some trouble here. but. it's fine.]

What we talked about, with communicating with the dead.
I got something.
I can tap into my powers, a little. Once a week to bring someone over from our side and talk to someone from the dead.
... I'm gonna take Vin, Sunday. When everything's done.

[ happy monday! vax is out exploring the new areas on this fine day, which means he's been a little harder to find than normal.
... however, there's a familiar black clothed figure off to the side of the well worn path of the volcano, if you're looking for him. it's vax, walking along the edge of one of those open pits of lava, both arms out, just casually balancing? he does seem to keep his balance very easily. he also does not seem afraid of this literally at all.

Vax'ildan--
[he calls from behind him, on finally spotting this STUPID BIRD. GOD.
he remembers the conversations they've had, and thanks, he hates this. emet-selch trusts him to keep his balance, yes, but he still dislikes the idea of him just wandering recklessly out here like this? god.
so he's hurrying up behind him, evidently fully healed by now.]
