OPEN | the "Lost People" mingle!

[boyhood]

Who: Every lonely person with a story to tell! (Check out the OOC details if you haven't yet!) Oh, and Peter Pan (boyhood), too.
Where: Mingles are out on the mansion grounds.
When: June 4th-6th, night.
Rating: PG-13? We'll see.
Summary: Peter is up to old tricks. Using his influence as the Pied Piper, Peter gathers together everyone in Wonderland he can for a celebration. Are you ready to make some new friends, sad sacks? This doubles as a convenient excuse to see how many vulnerable children there are.
The Story:



So you heard a little tune on the air and you've come to play! The more, the merrier. Night 1 isn't strictly an action event, but if you'd like to have your characters react, or just want to thread something out for that time, go for it. Night 2 and Night 3 are where the action's at. The prompts are general ideas of what's going on!

Anyone who isn't invited is going to find they can't figure out where everyone's disappeared to, exactly, and if they do go to a location, it's going to look like nothing's going on. Strange, huh? For those who are invited, he only rule is this: mingle to your hearts' content! Make new posts, tag into things, do what makes the most fun!

After each night, everyone will be free to disperse before the sun comes up. They'll wake up in their beds feeling refreshed, with the pleasant, surreal sense they've just had a sweet dream.

Except it wasn't really a dream, was it?

Do you... uh. [Just spit it out, Eren. There's no turning back now...]

Do you hate me? -Wait. No. Shit.

I mean. I know you don't hate hate me, but do you resent me?

[humanities_strongest]

[Levi just stares for several seconds. Did that really just come out of his mouth? Or was the alcohol finally making him hear things?

He was silent, waiting for what he said to process and part of him really hoped that Eren didn't say that.]

Where the fuck is this coming from?

[ Things had been chaos back home, the only time they actually had a moment to speak about the death of their squad mates was just before the next major fight with the Female Titan. Even then it was only a few words, but he really thought that Eren understood him.]

Are you thinking about what I said earlier?

[Learn from the decision you made last time.

He didn't say it because he hated him. He wanted him to be a better soldier and learn.]

I told you already. No one knows the outcome of the decisions we make. I don't hate you for what you did. It wasn't your fault.

[It was Annie's. Plain and simple. Everything that happened in the forest was a cause of her decision, and he would make sure she paid for it.]

[titanocidal]

[He knows. He knows that's what Levi meant- probably. But he still had to ask. It was still eating away at him.]

How am i supposed to learn to make the right choice, if there's no way to tell which is the right choice until after I choose?

[humanities_strongest]

That's the hard part about life, Eren.

[God, he wishes he had another drink now.]

Will someone die if I take this chance? Can I kill this titan in one swing? Does the reward outweigh the cost?

We have to think about everything, but in the heat of the moment that all gets lost. We do the first thing that pops into our heads and we hope the outcome is something we don't regret. And if we do, we move on. We have too, but we take what that decision gave us and it becomes experience.

[He knew this well. The choices he made in the past were what cost him the lives of the only real 'family' he knew. Eren, Armin and Mikasa reminded him so much of Isabel, Farlan, and himself. He didn't want Eren to suffer like he had because of the poor choices he had made.]

[titanocidal]

[Eren doesn't know about Isabel or Farlan; he doesn't know that such a heartbreaking comparison is being made inside of Levi's mind.

But he does feel comforted. Thinking that Levi resented him, just because of that one comment, had been a silly worry, but he had to irradiate it completely before he could move forward.]

And do you think talking to Annie would be a decision I'd regret?

[humanities_strongest]

It's not my choice, it's yours. I can't decide for you.

[He could order you to stay away from her. But something tells him you would just ignore her for a few days at best, and then you would just go off and find her when he isn't looking.]

But if you are asking for my option; then yes.

[Her words, regrets, and apologizes mean nothing now. Not in this world or either own. She made her bed. She has to lay in it now.]

[titanocidal]

[This is certainly one of the few cases where an order would have little effect.

But an opinion...

Eren runs his fingers though his hair. Why can't things be simple, for a change?] I... will think on it some more, then.

[humanities_strongest]

The last thing we need is a rushed plan and things fucking up.

[Not to be mean. But he might as well say it since you know he doesn't hate you or anything like that.

He glances around now and looks up the stairs. They still had a ways to go.]

Ready?
