All My Friends Are Dead Support Group (EP)

Poison's bundled up against the cold; it's not as bad as it has been, but for someone that's used to an irradiated desert, everything under scorching is cold. He stops in front of a lamp, armed with sturdy tape and some weather-proofed flyers.

All My Friends Are Dead

Support Group - First Meeting @ The Crow Club

Contact Party Poison - info below


He's already put up a bunch of them on every surface that he can stick duct tape too, including tucking a few under random car windshields. Maybe the name will annoy some people but honestly he couldn't think of a more appropriate thing to call it, since he figures that's pretty much whats's up. He pauses, fluffing his hair a bit as he looks at the one he's just put up. Maybe he won't hear anything, but whatever. He'll hang out at The Crow Club anyway. Something's been itching under his skin and he's not entirely sure what it is. At least this feels productive. Besides, walking around the city gives him the chance to see what kind of housing is available - him and Jack have been looking, and he's passed some places with potential. He'll share the pictures later so they can go back and check them out.

He moves on to the next thing he can slap a flyer to. Maybe if he covers the town it'll work.

[Find Poison anywhere in town! Be outraged, be interested, whatever you want. Solid time to meet him. Open until this says otherwise. ST/LT welcome!]

"Oh."

She recognises the handwriting instantly as his, spiky and distinct, beautiful somehow even if it's not as graceful as something Jack's made. She reaches out and traces the letters with the tip of one finger. She's not entirely sure of how the flier makes her feel, right then.

"You've had some truly shitty ideas, though," says Girl, but she does return the smile. She drifts closer, linking her arm through his and hugging him for a moment. "But this doesn't seem like one of the bad ones."

"It counts," says Girl, shaking her head and turning, slipping both of her arms around his skinny waist and tugging him in close. "You're all I've got left, right? For a little while, there was Cherri and Dr D, but..."

"I know, dad," she says. She doesn't call him that often, so it's a word that still has weight, still has magic. She leans her cheek against him for a moment. "You miss them all the time?"

Steve spots the guy in the middle of what looks like the world's most persistent attempt to wallpaper the city. He grabbed one of the flyers off of a street post and read it, then made his way over to the guy.

"Support group?" he asks as he nears him.

[personal profile] notonemoment 2017-01-16 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Whoa, fair enough," Steve says, holding his hands up innocently. "I'm just not used to seeing so many flyers for one thing."

[personal profile] notonemoment 2017-01-16 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't think so," he says. "Steve Cortez. That's good of you," he adds, "hosting a support group. People don't always know how to deal with that sort of loss." He knows.

Coming across the flier was not the strangest part of the situation, Krem supposed. More, it was that Poison hadn't told him he was planning something like it. He wondered, fleetingly, if he'd told Jack. There was a little pit of hurt, down low in his stomach, that Poison wouldn't have mentioned even the passing idea of it to Krem; they both knew the circumstances of the other's entrance to Darrow.

He didn't need to take a contact strip from the flier, because he already had Poison's number. He dialed it. "All my friends are dead, huh?" he asked, once Poison had picked up.

"Colonial and Newbury. Picking up Aggie from school." Krem checked his phone quickly to see what time it was, and then pulled it back to his ear. "Where are you? I can get you coffee after I get her home, if you're still out. Or just come up, if you're home by then. She should be out soon."
krempuff: (thinking)

[personal profile] krempuff 2017-01-21 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, outside's fine," Krem said, only a little put out about it, because it was cold for him as well. Not as cold as it had been, or as he had been, but he felt obligated for token protests.

"Aggie's coming out. Text me a cafe, alright? I'll meet you there in just a bit."

"They have support groups for that?" I ask, noticing the poster more than the person for a moment. By the time I take in the bright red of his hair, I've already spoken and I consider being embarrassed but it fails to crack through the bewilderment of it all.

I try not to close my eyes and go through the whole catalog then but the names come to me. Fernando, Tori, Al...Will. I wonder if I'll ever fully absolve myself for that. I doubt it.

[personal profile] priordivergence 2017-01-23 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder what it would be like to attend something like that. It would mean having to speak and admit to the hand I've had in so many deaths. I've learned to forgive myself for my fear and for the inescapable moments but that doesn't absolve me of responsibility. That doesn't take the grief away.

"Yeah," I say. "A lot of mine too. And I probably deserved to die, but I haven't so far."
priordivergence: (Be Brave)

[personal profile] priordivergence 2017-01-29 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Before I can stop the memory, I remember Al being drawn out of the Chasm. I remember the body bag they'd tried to put his body into and how he'd been too big, to broad to fit. A hysterical burst of laughter chases the suppressed memory and I clap a hand over my mouth, realizing how it must look to him.

"I'm sorry," I say. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking about..."

Maybe I should be going to that group.
