Waking from a nightmare...
Who: Romeo and Open
Where: Luggage carriage and then dining room
When: Evening of day 18, month of Egret
What: Romeo returns from hiatus, believing his best friend dead. (Note: Both parts are open, but I ask that we allow Joss the "honour" of the reveal.)
Warnings: Very sad, grieving small child. Mentions of death.
Waking- luggage carriage
When Romeo opened his eyes the rage he had felt was all gone. For a moment it was just like any other morning and he sat up, still in his flight suit, pushing upwards when he realised there was a roof to his bed. Not a bed. A suitcase.
He sat up, bleerily eyed and looked around. He was back on the train, in the luggage carriage.
Joss was dead.
The fact hit him hard. Joss was dead. And he was back on the train. He looked at his hands and noticed the blight spotting his skin. He was blighted? Yes. Because he had been bad. Joss had died because he wasn't quick enough or strong enough and then he had gotten really angry and wanted to kill the bad enemy.
Had he hurt Elfnein?
Bad shinki hurt their gods and the idea that he might have hurt her was terrible. But not as terrible as the fact that Joss was dead.
He sat there for a very long time, numb, staring at nothing. Joss... His best friend. It couldn't be true but it had been. It hadn't been a dream. This isn't his bed.
Slowly he clambered out of the suitcase on shaking legs, he held on to the trunks and suitcases. His heart hurt too much for him to be able to walk confidently. But also his body hurt as well, blight and bruises mottled his skin.
One step, then another. He needed to find Elfnein. But he just wanted to curl up and cry forever and ever and ever.
Romeo stumbles into the dressing carriage, pale and bruised. Exhausted and dazed. For those that know him there is none of the perpetually enthusiastic, hopeful child they know. Instead he shuffles his feet, looking lost as he makes his way into the light.
Later: In the dining room
Romeo is sat on one of the benches, he looks exhausted and shell shocked. But a lot less sad. He's confused but can only be grateful that Joss was not dead after all. His best friend was not gone forever.
He had still been bad and he had a lot of big things to think about but he was very tired and very very hungry so he was sat with a plate of food, picking at it. Despite his hunger he seemed to lack his normal appetite.
Maybe it was because he was too exhausted, everything still hurt but it was fine. Because Joss wasn't dead. That was the biggest thing, a thing that made hope in his heart.

"I met him." He nodded, "We played games together, he's really smart!"
So he wasn't surprised he had saved lots of people!

So that meant he knew how to have fun at least. "I'm glad he knows what he is doing, it's good to have lots of smart people to help everyone!"
no subject
"Yeah, yeah, but he's like. GAMES ARE SERIOUS, which... man, they're games, yeah?"

"What? No, no. I'm not legally an adult until I'm 20, although there are a few things I can do earlier than that."
no subject
Was that really how old you had to be to be a grown up?
no subject
"Although the ages differ for different things like... age of consent is 13, I can get a motorbike licence at 16, a car licence at 18, alcohol at 21..."
no subject
He tilted his head, "So even when you are a grown up there are things, like drinking alcohol, that you can't do?"
no subject
He shrugs and nods. "Well, only for one year. And I mean... that's what the rules are in Japann. There are different rules in other countries."
no subject
That was a strange idea.

He would like to drive. But if you had to be eighteen he wouldn't be able to, which was a pity. But he had been big for one day before so maybe that would happen again some time.

He has very little sense of how much things cost, so he just nods when Kaito tells him cars are expensive. They are quite big after all!
no subject
He shrugs.
"It's not like a have a really fancy one either, mine's a pretty basic one, but it works."
no subject
Things didn't have to be fancy to work, it sounds like Kaito was good at riding it and it must let him get to things really fast!
