They Move Forward (semi-open)
CHARACTERS: Darcy, Gwen, Vance, Helena… and you?
DATE: Early days of August
LOCATION: Darcy’s cabin and elsewhere
SITUATION: Dead kid gets less dead
WARNINGS: Holdovers from
Three days pass. Y’know, like Jesus. Of course, they don’t pass at all from Darcy- unconsciousness sews up the edge between falling into the water and waking up into one unbroken line. Darcy doesn’t breathe, so Gwen doesn’t get any indication of Darcy being awake again until he quietly states-
“Fuck.”
Helena wanted someone there when Darcy woke up, and so Darcy enlisted Vance. Now that Gwen’s here, that duty is taken care of, but she’s not so much of a fucking asshole that she’s going to cancel post-death plans of all things. So he gets a text-
Not that she doesn’t want his company, she just assumes he’ll have other friends he’ll want to see.
The day after their return was set aside to be with Helena. Darcy’s not going to show up at 6am or anything, they’re eager but they don’t want to look that desperate. So they show up at a respectable 9am, having already made the both of them breakfast. Crepes, with lemon and sugar. Because if they’re hanging out for a whole day then Helena isn’t getting out of being cooked for. They knock with their foot, both hands occupied by plates.
Other friends of Darcy get texts in spare moments.
Something like-
Or

It’s a weird feeling, having a social circle. An actual one, with more than like two people in it. Not bad, but weird.
Darcy’s in their regular haunts around the ship; gym, kitchen, buffet, etc. Hit em up wherever.
