Death


i will follow you into the dark;

It's the end of the line for you. No matter how long you've been here on this planet, in this universe, that time is over now. Pain wracks your body, or perhaps it doesn't as you drift away from this life. All that remains is that ever fading light -

And the face of the one you care for the most.

For they are joining you on this last journey, as difficult or as easy as it can be. This could have been planned - you wanted to die together - or you both happened to be in the same place at the same time. Your world could be crashing down around you in a final armageddon; you could not be missed, the world turning without you two in it. One of you brought this onto you both; you tried to save your companion. You killed them yourself. It was all an accident...this wasn't supposed to happen...

How you've come to this doesn't matter so much in hindsight, though your sight is dimming as it as. What does matter is how you spend these last few moments with the person who means so much to you. If you're lucky, the two of you have lived a long, happy life together. Those who find themselves faced with a more tragic ending will have just realized their feelings for each other.

You don't have long, only a few moments. Make of them what you can. Reveal your secrets, touch their hand one last time, give them an embrace or a kiss. Apologize, if you see fit. Do what you did in life, but make it count and hope that you will see them again somehow.

  • Comment with your character and preferences. If you have any ideas or anything you do not want to touch, be sure to include those, too.
  • You can play this as serious and as dark as you'd like.
  • Reply to others on the meme. Discuss scenarios, AUs, and crossovers.

( Oh hey how about some devastating feels today? Open to discussing a permadeath scene for Claire, but otherwise she'd be the living party. )

[ ooc; info in journal, dance retelling of othello. can be a re-enactment of her canon death or an au of some sort. preference for historical settings, though open to placing her in different periods than her own (16th/17th century). f/f for shipping, but ota for something more gen-centered. ]

"...and today, a massive snowstorm hits Tokyo..."

[The voice comes crackling from an older radio sitting on the counter. That's right. When there was a lull in business, the owner of Tenten would fiddle with the stations until he found what he wanted to listen to. It was almost always old Chinese ballads, and she liked how the old man would end up singing along while he worked.

How strange, that she can remember this as she looks out the window next to their usual table. It's been years, hasn't it? Mr. Huang passed away not too long after Aki became her buddy. And yet here he is, turning the knobs on his beloved radio while the sizzle of food filters in from the kitchen.

Himeno's eyes-- both of them-- scan the blue skies for any ominous clouds. They find nothing. Perhaps she shouldn't worry too much about this storm? Yet she can't quite rid herself of a vague unease.

When Huang approaches and sets down two dishes of almond tofu on her table, Himeno casts a wary look at him.]


...It's just me today.

[As it should be. He has no reason to be there. She has been purposefully withholding the invitation, one could say.

So why does her heart feel a deep ache all of a sudden? Tears sting her eyes and she stares at the familiar placemats, trying to make sense of the despair that floods her body and ceases in an instant.]


But... I just got here.

Aki.
