* silence. *

[. . . No no he couldn't have died in his sleep. Maybe he has a good reason for skipping! Maybe he felt like taking a day off! Maybe he met a girl!]

Chrys! Chrysos answer your door!!

[tothelight]

* silence. *


* wait, there's the very slight sound of someone moving around inside. *



Who's there?

[It's two days later Allen Feramis receives the following letter:

"Feramis, I don't know where you are but you are needed direly in Corehaven. Red's brother has taken ill and I don't know what to do[INKBLOT] Illnesses are not my specialty! He sweats and sees men that aren't there and is frightened and on edge all the time. He's torn his apartment to shreds! He would have shot ME if I hadn't been moving slowly enough to keep him calm! His skin is too stiff, like iron. Like he's constantly tense.

At the time of writing this he's been ill for three days. PLEASE come see him. He won't let me bring a Cephean doctor.

Ceres Aulus"

Fearing the worst, he rushes to Cepheus, a trip that takes him three days. He rushes straight to the home of his dearest lover and his brother, and knocks on the door firmly.]

Chrysos! Chrysos Kenni, it's Allen Feramis!

[There's only silence at first, then the distinct sound of someone approaching the door before it swings open. Ceres looks . . . very tired. And just a little knocked around. There are a number of bruises in varying stages of healing and some scratches here and there, but she doesn't seem to be seriously injured.]

Allen! I've been—th-thank you for coming. You can help him, right?! H-he can't even get out of bed anymore!

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Ceres. . . what has happened? Has he done this?

[sharksong.insanejournal.com]

H-He isn't always himself. I told you he sees men who aren't there . . . and in the beginning if I startled him too badly . . . He doesn't always recognize me anymore.

[getting a letter that just says COME HOME is perhaps one of the most terrifying events one can have in their life. he rushed all the way there and barges into the house]

Chry--

[oh what the--what happened to the apartment]

[sharksong.insanejournal.com]

[There have been attempts made at cleaning the mess. The furniture that isn't completely destroyed has been more or less put back in it's proper place, papers stacked in messy piles on the remains of the desk. Items broken beyond repair have been shoved against walls and into corners to keep them out of the way, and there really isn't anything to be done for the damage to the walls and doors yet.

Ceres steps out of the kitchen when she hears Red come in. She hasn't been sleeping well lately if the bags under her eyes are any indication, perhaps because of the bruises and cuts all over.]

R . . . Red! You came!

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

What happened?! Did some break in?? Is...is Chrys...

[sharksong.insanejournal.com]

Ch-Chrys is . . . He's—alive. But I've called for Feramis, so he'll—when Feramis finishes with him, he'll be fine! He's an amazing doctor, right?

[Coming home a little later with an overnight bag slung over one shoulder and-- what is all this...]

[sharksong.insanejournal.com]

[IT LOOKS LIKE THE PLACE GOT ROBBED except for the fact that everything's broken instead of missing]

[Ceres doesn't look so good either :D; GOSH WAS SHE HERE WHEN THUGS CAME THROUGH? WHO KNOWS]

Ah—S-Skylos?

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

Hey Skylos. Sit down.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[drops everything and goes to them D8]

What happened--?! Are you alright?

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

[SO, COUPLA HOURS LATER AFTER ENTERING THE ROOM, after making sure Chrys is settled in bed and leaving a letter for his care and all the meds he'll need on his desk, Allen opens the door to gtfo the country for a few years or something]

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]
