049 ⇨ video

[brobeforehos]

[This broadcast starts up in Mae's room, early morning.]

Wow, what a weekend, right? It's a shame we couldn't keep the uniforms, or the wands, or even the quills. The quills were nice. Maybe we could make some - Ginny, are there any recipes for the sugary quills? Because I think we could -

[And now, the scene changes, as she excitedly leaves her room, out in search of the best and most wonderful flatmate ever.] - make a whole girls' night of it. Right, Clary?

[Silence. She checks the clock: well over Clary's usual waking hour. And come to think of it...does she remember her being in the magic school at all? Unless...] ...Clary? [smaller voice, the smile on her face disappearing. Distracted by a more important matter, she leaves the device - forgets it's recording - on the living room table. Viewers, if they continue watching, can see Mae moving from one room of the apartment to the other, every Clary growing increasingly smaller, until all the rooms have been covered. And then, without bothering with her device, she grabs a coat and leaves, slamming the door behind her, leaving the video on to a view of an empty apartment, until finally, the battery runs out.]

text; public; one hour later;

Clary Fray is gone, to those who knew her.

[ooc; Not all curses end on a bright note :c.]

[studmuffin]

what do you need me to do?

[ Some people deal differently. He's not sure if he should head over there straight away or leave her be. ]

[brobeforehos]

short of bringing her back?

[studmuffin]

if i could i would. i'm sorry mae.

[brobeforehos]

no, it's okay. i wouldn't make you do it even if you could. she had way more people she missed back home than [me] here.

[studmuffin]

[ They moved in different circles but Stiles knew how much they meant to each other and it makes him sad, feel for Mae. ]

maybe she'll be back? you know the city.

[brobeforehos]

and we reach that point where i wonder again what sort of person it makes me, to want her to.

[studmuffin]

you can't help who you want here.

[ He spends days wanting his dad to show up and feeling bad about it, he gets it. ]

[candothat]

[WELL that... makes saying anything about the curse not very important at all.]

Mae? ...Is there anything that would help?

audio;

[brobeforehos]

[When she replies, her tone is a little distraught, and careful, like she's trying to make it seem like she hasn't been crying.]

Pavel - hi. I'm not sure...I think I owe you some sort of apology, maybe?

audio;

[candothat]

No, no apologies. You were very kind and I enjoyed your company--not that these things are not also true outside of curses. I think that Lucy will forgive me.

[And that was a deflection, Mae, and he'll be damned if he can think of a polite way to steer the conversation back towards her.]

audio;

[brobeforehos]

I'm hoping she'll forgive me, too. But - likewise, Pavel. I had a very nice weekend.

audio;

[candothat]

She will.

[Hell, maybe she'll invite Mae by for a threesome. But this is obviously not the time for thoughts like that.]

But not such a nice start to the day.

audio;

[brobeforehos]

Yes, well...[A longer pause.] Can't trust the City.

hungry ?

[brobeforehos]

i don't think so

text;

[dignity_misery]

i'll be down at the cafe anyway.

[brobeforehos]

hope you have a fun morning there.

[dignity_misery]

sulking won't help

text;

[brobeforehos]

eating or drinking my feelings likely won't either

voice;

[intheblanks]

[He clears his throat, and pauses before speaking.]

Hey.

[To ignore the curse or not to ignore the curse. Well, let the deeper voice and less plummy tone speak for themselves.]

That looked like it sucked to wake up to.

voice;

[brobeforehos]

[A long pause, followed by a tone which says she's most likely been holding back on cyring.]

Yeah, well. You have a nice time during a curse, you wake up to sadness.

voice;

[intheblanks]

I don't think there's a balance system at work. I just think sometimes things suck, there's no bad or good time.

Were you living with anyone else?

voice;

[brobeforehos]

Well then, today things suck. Likely they'll suck tomorrow as well.

And no, I'm back on my own again.

[stelecharm]

Thank you for letting us know. I did suspect after trying to reach her all morning, but I'd rather know.

If you ever need the company, all you have to do is ask.

[brobeforehos]

I can't remember if she was at Hogwarts. Was she? Do you know?
