[ WOW IT'S THE BEACH. yves is loving it here! he's rolled up the cuffs of his pants and pushed up his sleeves, abandoning his coat to just welcome the sweet spray of the ocean. he inhales the next sea breeze that comes, and hums softly to himself as he exhales. looking out at the big ocean, he talks to himself - or to someone not quite here ]

It's almost like home... I hope you're not too mad at me for going ahead, Hugo.

[ though when he notices someone approaching, he'll turn and offer up a grin ]

Oh, hey! How're you?

[ aaand his arms are opening for a hug as he approaches even though someone else called dan a feral animal ]

[foreverphantom]

[ what is this. what's happening. why is he being approached, oh god--he raises his arms up for defense.

but, notably, he doesn't retreat or attack. ]

What are you doing.

[ also i forgot to say it but this choice of shitpost is very good, A+ ]

[noirges]

[ :)))))

but dan gets a hug then! yay - though yves at least makes it a short one, pulling back after with a smile ]

Greeting you! You settling in okay? I heard that you're rooming with Adolphe.

[foreverphantom]

[ he'll tolerate the hug but the smile makes him just scowl even harder ]

You know him?

[noirges]

He's my best friend. Are things not going well?

[foreverphantom]

They're going.

[ i'm sorry. that's all he offers ]

[noirges]

[ oh no!! he looks confused ]

Is Adolphe hard to live with...?

[foreverphantom]

No. I am.

[noirges]

[ laughs a little ]

Well, I think Adolphe is pretty patient at least...

week 1 monday

[noirges]

[ well everyone's getting The Afternoon i'm sorry someone said that it's yves' holiday and it's true so we must all celebrate. he's carrying along a heart balloon and a bouquet of flowers, looking delighted when he sees brimstone ]

Oh, Brimstone!

[ excitedly, despite everything ]

Do you like holidays? Isn't this place fun?

[foreverphantom]

[ pulls a sewing needle out of nowhere and immediately tries to pop yves's balloon. ]

No.

[noirges]

[ aw popped

he startles but otherwise doesn't seem too bothered ]

... is there anything you do like?

[foreverphantom]

I liked popping your balloon.

[noirges]

Do you want me to get another?

[foreverphantom]

Why? You know I'm just going to pop that one too, right?

[noirges]

[ nods ]

I know.

[foreverphantom]

... [ huffs and slumps, folding his arms ] Well, then it's no fun anymore.

week 5, post-trial

[noirges]

[ he's around the area, probably just exploring the graveyard a little bit more. he waves hello when he sees that he has company ]

Brimstone! Do you have a place you like to hang out here?

[foreverphantom]

Uhh...a couple, I guess. Depending on your definition of 'like.'

[noirges]

[ tilts head ]

What are the options?

[foreverphantom]

Well, there's the portal thing, and then I guess the gym, if you--

[ in this voided location there is a glass surface somewhere and as he is talking, a memory begins to play out for yves to witness ]

[noirges]

[ oh.

that's so much to have revealed to a person. yves pauses a bit when he sees those memories flash and then he'll look back to brimstone, expression concerned ]

Brimstone...?

[foreverphantom]

[ he curls in on himself with his arms folded tightly across his chest. ]

God, I am so tired of this place airing that out to the whole world.

[noirges]

[ a soft smile of understanding ]

I get it. Sometimes I get new ones, but it's almost always about my scar or my death.

[ almost like those are his most relevant memories or something. ]

... I can understand it, though. [ softly ] Not wanting people to leave. Not losing what you had and loved.

[foreverphantom]

Please. By then I didn't have anything that I loved.
