monday's child is fair of face (2/2)

CW: death, probably gore, possibly more TBA

[and that’s what you missed on glee.

and so, there “Friday” is, standing on the roof of the bar. the attention of the party has surely turned to her by this point, but she doesn’t care about that. she just needs one person to still be a little too distracted to stop what was coming next.

Monday snaps her fingers, and Jenny disappears from wherever she was standing before, reappearing directly in front of Monday, who embraces her from behind, an arm wrapped firmly around her middle. those with enhanced senses might catch what she whispers, seconds before she snaps Jenny’s neck so hard it hangs at a 90 degree angle as Monday kicks her, her corpse toppling forward onto the deck below.]


Surprise, bitch.

[well, there. unfinished business settled. onto more pertinent matters.]

Let’s get a little more comfortable first, hm? Can’t waste too much of her magic, but audiences love a quick change.

[she snaps her fingers, and Monday finds herself in an outfit that is far more to her taste. now. time for her grand performance.]

Greetings, foolish mortals! You may or may not have noticed that things have been a little bit different this month. While the Captain is off having a good old bitch cry about whatever it is he’s so upset about, poor little Friday was running herself ragged keeping this shitheap floating! She was so distracted, in fact, that she happened to have a little accident, while fixing something in the elevator shaft! [a laugh] I guess even clay bitches can break their necks! And there I was, sitting in Fucking Nowhere, doing Fucking Nothing, feeling Fucking. Nothing! And I saw her empty shell. And I was, like, hey, free real estate!

Whatever tear in the veil that your whiny little Captain just didn’t feel like fixing? I ripped that fucker right open. And you’ve all met a few of the sorry little fuckers that fell out already, hm? [another snap] Not all of them, but, hey, that’s what now is for, right? Because, see, we all kinda got together a little bit, and we were like… You know, just borrowing some shitty bodies to have some fun for a few weeks? What a waste! And we still have a lot of bitches we need to spring from jail!

And that! Is where you assholes come in! And, trust me, you are all assholes. Have you even seen some of the psychotic shit you people have said and done to us? Like, yeah, Mary is legitimately insane, but she’s still a kid! Even I’m not gonna call a fucking nine year old a bitch!

You can try to run, but I fucking hate running in heels, so I made that a little bit… difficult. So. Why don’t you nice people just lay down and let us kill you. I’ll be gentle. Promise.

[perhaps people have tried to flee already. they likely have. and they’ve found that the entire party area has been blocked off by the same sort of barrier that surrounds the realm, an invisible orb holding them captive.]

Now. Let’s get the actual party started!

Omori looks incredibly worried... and incredibly guilty at that. He hugs himself with one arm, looking down at the ground, and at the question, he shakes his head.

"Everyone's fighting... everyone's upset. I don't want my friends to go back to nothing again, but I don't want any of you to end up there either. I d-didn't manage to warn you in time, and Watson got hurt because of it, and-"

He takes a sharp, shaky breath, squeezing his eyes shut. "A-And Rich keeps making me cry and I hate it."

There's a chance Watson is dead, then. He doesn't want to know. What's the point of him knowing before it's all over? Let himself believe that Watson's alive for a little longer.

"Omori...." César forces a broken smile, bringing a hand to the barrier. "Even if you had warned him sooner, he would have stayed. That's just the sort of men those two are."

The smile keeps cracking. "Sorry, Omori. Rich's emotions are strong like mine. There's not much I can do."

Quietly, he adds. "It was like this way with my family back on Earth... I lost them this way, too."

"Well, it's s-stupid. They're not... they're not supposed to be like that. No one from my time was... and if they were, they learned to focus on themselves really quick."

He scrubs at his face as he steps a little closer to the barrier, looking up at César. His hand is touching the impenetrable air between them... Omori wants to reach out, see if just having their hands close would feel almost as nice as holding hands.

But he doesn't. César is talking about losing his family... his real family. And his son has been lost a very long time.

"...I'm really, really sorry. I kept you and them apart... a long time." He sniffles softly. "I wish I was brave enough to fix it. I should have gotten Rich back to you sooner."

"That's how people are supposed to be." Said with conviction, because that's the truth. "We're supposed to care for each other."

César puts his hand up on the barrier, near Omori's hand. Not exactly opposite, but near.

"The fault lies with the Captain, not you." César says softly. "He created this scenario. You're twelve. And I'm not about ready to ask a twelve-year-old to sacrifice himself for another child."

His smile falls, and as steady as his voice is, he's visibly afraid. "I don't know what'll happen. But no matter what does... I really wish all of this could have been different. That we could have met differently. That this won't end with someone's losing horribly."

"I wish... I could have cared. I wish... a lot of different things, I guess."

He knows it's impossible for him, but the idea of being a normal child is... something appealing. The memories from his past self seem so nice. Having real friends and a real family. Having nothing to worry about besides school and maybe getting a sunburn at the beach.

...He's a little jealous, now that he knows how jealousy feels.

"I would have liked to meet you... without hurting you. And without pretending to be somebody else. But... it's okay. I'm not much of a person anyways, so there won't be anything to miss."

He uses his hand to gently push himself back away from the barrier.

"I... I should go. I don't want you to have to see anything that'll hurt you."
