[ post town meeting!!
'later' gets to come over... dinner! or, well, being cooped up over notes and dinner. god knows where they're settled at the moment, but there's tea on and vax is sitting crosslegged close to emet, writing stuff down in that little notebook from last week. thorough.
he's tapping his pen against the notebook.
and. ]
.....Sssssoo. Later, huh.
[ very smooth ]

Him and Steel. I think Bass and Riff may be closer than they are, in terms of us getting through to them.
I saw a memory of his, once. Of his home, and a place he oversaw. A vision that he had which led him to leave with others, later.
I've asked others who know him as well, and was warned against directly including his family, as he evidently feels he will find them when he is meant to; it was also mentioned that a theme in that adventure related to him was decisions, either making them or opting to wait for guidance.

[ what a nice evening of fighting and (redacted). sometimes you are simply not much of a morning person and want to laze around all day.... however, with enough coaxing, vax'ildan is roused up and out of bed on this fine thursday. he's still shirtless, dark hair a mess and sticking up in like five places, braids half done and half undone all over his head, but the call of food and coffee is a hard one to resist, so.
as vax rolls out of his bed in the marine apartment this morning, he yawns, and stretches, facing away from the bed and ambling towards his closet to start the day.
....and if the other occupant of that nice comfy marine bed is paying attention, he may notice something that wasn't there the night before on vax's lower back...? ]

[he'd had half a mind to stay in bed longer, himself, but-- no. no, they need to get up, there will still be more to be done today. and so he'd reluctantly disentangled himself, fingers raking through his hair as he debates going back to crystalline to shower ...
and of course his gaze drifts to vax, because he's not fucking blind. just a moment to appreciate--
....oh, no.]
Oh, not again--

[ mm whatcha say.mp3
yes gaze upon vax's very nice back. everything else is normal, at least! freckles, scars, the handprint burn scar... and then the panda bear that sticks out like a sore thumb. he glances backwards at emet (and also like, looks, because he also has eyes) ]
What? [ and then, playfully, sticking his hip out with his hand on it. ] Take a picture, it'll last longer.

[ well, once things are all said and done, vax's going off to... the cemetery, actually! emet is more than welcome to come, but, it's quiet here, and he knows he won't be bothered much by anyone he doesn't want to be bothered by.
... he's sitting up on a statue when emet comes, though, and gives him a little smile in greeting - it's put him up just a little above eye level, but not too high. he's also got a sixpack sitting balanced on his thigh but dw about that. ]
So much for solving everything. [ hi. ]

[ and we're back! we're here in the marine apartment. vax is just kind of spreadeagled across his bed - his room's still a little messy, the flowers on the nightstand have bloomed nice and vibrant into snowdrops, and vax is fresh out of the shower, coming to flop down across his bed.
what a fucking day. ]
Shite. Glad that's over.

Shite. Glad that's over.
[sometime on tuesday, when they're vibing in marine but bass isn't here:]
...Vax. I shall require your assistance. We must do more than simply manage to leave here.
[he seems troubled, by whatever he's talking about, pausing before he finally just says:]
Bass is not only dead, in their home. He and Riff say he shall be-- erased from it, upon their return.

this is fine.
it's not fine. vax'ildan, like everyone else, is fucking reeling from that nightmare - from watching that horrible transformation of what happened to their npcs to the sacrifice of being thrown backwards and saved by it, to the fact that there's no fucking way in. like everyone else, he's also tried to break down the fucking wall and force his way in, but the eye tattoo appearing on his hand is a fucking reminder of how powerless they are right now.
it's been too long. he jerks backwards, scrubs a hand over his face, feels just the bite of grief and misery and fury and then shakes his head, slumping back.
and it's when emet's going at it one more time that he reaches out and puts a hand on him, and says, quietly - ] Hades.

Don't Hades me, help me-!
[he grits out, a hand pressed against that blocked entryway. feeling this powerless is-- well, it's not the first time here, but it's certainly the worst.
people always leave, he said. emet promised he would not. that he would be here for him.
separated from their residents now, that promise feels all too sharp.]

[ phew
relief.
at the end of the day, vaxildan is up on the rooftop, sitting on the railing and just... looking out at the world around them.. he doesn't at all mind emet's presence, so. when he hears him approach, he leans back a little. ]
Hey, Hades.

Hey, Hades.
[he's been out here for a while, himself, doing exactly the same. looking out over this space they've shared for nearly two months, now. so he's made his way back, after a detour to go elsewhere; the feathers tied into his hair flutter in the breeze as he steps close.]
Vax.
[he's tired, but it's still warm.]
