I… thank you. I’ll look for my Sundrop here before I decide anything, I think.

I’ll only go back if it won’t be like it was before. I- I told myself it was okay, because my Sundrop was gone… can I talk to the other ones here before I choose?

If I take them, do I have to… go back? I don’t know- I was already dying when I ghosted, would that fix? I can’t go back to that pain…

[starrywisp-kjrp]

That sounds wise. And I agree.

[starrywisp-kjrp]

I believe so. You have to think about things before you do them- or they can get you ghosted if you happen to be human…

I spent a lot of time thinking in the last few months before I ghosted… I think I’m quite good at it now

[starrywisp-kjrp]

Huh… that’s true. I think someone would call that sort of philosophical…

[starrywisp-kjrp]

That’s true… the present becomes past quite quickly too.

It can be! Or it could be? Do I have to use past tense now I’m dusted?

[starrywisp-kjrp]

Only if it’s dark out. I wear them when it’s bright, so the light doesn’t hurt my eyes… those ones are darker than usual sunglasses because my eyes hurt more than most.

*stares at her for a bit*

My sunglasses look good on you…

(Once he’s left, there’s the sight of two ghostly auras fading from the room)

(There’s something coming over the radiowaves from Wisp’s frequency, like muffled coughing. It eventually stops for a bit, and Wisp’s hoarse voice comes over the waves, pleading)

A-Absinthe? Are you there?

@starrywisp-kjrp

(He shoots up, detangling himself from his friend and putting his shoes on)

-Wisp? What do you need?-

[starrywisp-kjrp]

Alone or stopped.

(She lets herself rest in the hug for a while)

Thank you… I’m sorry.

(She takes the knife and uses the last of her energy to slice, blood splattering onto him as she goes limp with a deathly croak)

[starrywisp-kjrp]

(She shakes her head a little, face plastered with pain)

I was going to ask you to do it for me, but I thought that would be mean. I know you’re not one for guilt, but it would hurt- I already made sure I’m not going to hurt much more.

(She looks at him, opening her other fist to show a small empty bottle. The label is illegible, smudged, but it’s unmistakably a pill bottle- pills far too strong for her to survive taking so many at once without immediate medical help)

I just needed a friend. You’re the only one who I could trust.

[starrywisp-kjrp]

(She lifts the knife up, tilting it towards herself)

This. Giving in. Please… it hurts… I miss my Sundrop.

(The last year has been hell. Every move, every breath, every moment is agony and all she wants is to rest)

[starrywisp-kjrp]

(She makes a croaky sound, looking at him imploringly)

… can I have a hug? I need- I- you need to tell me it’s okay.

[starrywisp-kjrp]

(The doors unlocked. She’s sat in her room, knife in her hands and tears streaming down her face and staining her clothes. Her jacket is strewn across the bed with specks of blood on the front from coughing fits that have left her in agony)
