Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]

((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

	[Her eyes widen with fear and one of her hands reaches up to grab his wrist -- not hard by any means, just an indication that she doesn't want him rushing off any doing anything dangerous.] Please, Sougo, don't do anything to make them angry. What if they take you away from me, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[When she puts it that way it just makes him feel like shit. As much as he didn't think he deserved her kindness, he didn't want to be the cause for worsening her misery and loneliness.

Sougo runs a hand through his hair with a sigh.]

If we do nothing, it's bad. If we do something, it's bad. What other choice do we have? It's no better than what you get stuck with at home.

	You can do something. [Maybe not a solution per se, but...] You could sit with me for a while. Make me laugh like you always do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-06 03:28 am UTC (link)
	[He does just that, sitting himself down next to her. He slowly takes her hand and places it on his cheek. This situation that she's dealing with really bothered him, and her hand would be a little comforting, at least.] How can I be funny at a time like this? Loss is like the worst thing.

	[The pad of her thumb softly strokes his skin, comforting him as much as herself.] It is hard... but already you've helped. [Lacus smiles even as her eyes well up again.] By reminding me that not everyone I love is gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-09 01:35 am UTC (link)
	[He gives her hand a slight squeeze. How to help cheer her up... He's not sure, but he's going to try anything he can think of.] Well... I'll try to take care of you and be a good friend. I'm not that good at it, but I'll try really hard. You shouldn't be sad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-09 01:45 am UTC (link)
	I'm always sad, Sougo. This place makes me sad, that we are all forced here against our will. But things about it make me happy too. [Another dab at her wet eyes.] I tried to remember those things, but I can't seem to stop crying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-09 02:17 am UTC (link)
	[He hadn't realized that, and started to wonder if maybe he should have known. After all, she had that way about her, similar to his sister, where she always had a smile on her face no matter what. He didn't know Lacus as well as he thought he did, and he's definitely learning that now. He pulls her in for a hug.] It's okay. You can cry, Lacus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-09 02:35 am UTC (link)
	[It's not often that Lacus seeks comfort in others, but when she needs it there's no hesitation. She lets Sougo pull her in and cries against his shoulder, quietly and without fanfare.] [Several long moments and her breathing slows, though she doesn't pull away.] It's a good shoulder you have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-09 02:55 am UTC (link)
	It's just a shoulder. [He'll hold her for as long as she needs it.] My sister always told me that it's okay to cry if you feel sad. I did a lot when I was little but then I wanted to be manly for her when I got older... So, it's okay to cry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-09 03:02 am UTC (link)
	[She usually don't need to be held for long. But today... a little longer.] I think I would have liked her very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-09 03:13 am UTC (link)
	I know you would have. [He pats her on the back gently.] Sorry to hear you're always sad though... I didn't know. Probably because I live in my own head a lot of the time. Hearing that makes me feel better and worse at the same time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-09 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	[Lacus lifts her head enough to look at Sougo, not bothering to swipe at her damp cheeks this time. (How does she manages to be crying and still look pristine? She's Lacus, okay.)] Better and worse? How so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-09 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	Because it means that it's not just me being sad all the time, so I'm not alone there. But it's shitty that has to be you. [He rubs his cheek.] It would be better if it were someone who's an asshole, but no, it's not like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-10 02:20 am UTC (link)
	[She lets out a puff of air, almost a tiny laugh.] I think you're much less alone than you think. A lot of people here have reasons to be sad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-10 02:27 am UTC (link)
	[Sougo hums.] So what you're basically saying is that I'm an idiot. [Taking that the wrong way, yes. He couldn't help it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-10 02:37 am UTC (link)
	...Hm? [Tilting her head not unlike a confused doggie.] Not at all. It's not something that many people discuss openly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-10 02:40 am UTC (link)
	It just seems like everyone else can handle it so much better, you being one of them. [He puts a hand on his chin.] I don't know how to be a strong person like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-10 02:46 am UTC (link)
	[It's an odd thing to be happy about perhaps, but she's glad he doesn't see her crying as a sign of weakness. She doesn't see it that way, but it's a relief all the same.] If you weren't strong, I wouldn't come to you when I need support. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-10 02:55 am UTC (link)
	You would say that, because it's different with you. [He shakes his head.] I've told you before how I feel. I feel a little less pathetic around you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-10 03:36 am UTC (link)
	Of course I'm glad that's true. But I'm not so different from anyone else. [She can't believe that, especially as poorly as the two of them got along at first, there's no one else who understands him properly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-10 03:57 am UTC (link)
	I think you are. I've had a bunch of bad friends, but you're one of my first good friends. [Sougo holds onto one of he arms firmly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-12 03:54 am UTC (link)
	[No objection to the holding, just a small smile.] You've become one of my dearest friends as well. But we weren't always. It was a rocky beginning... I'm glad we moved past it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-04-12 04:05 am UTC (link)
	[He sighs!!] I make everything rocky. Sorry I was an asshole, if I hadn't said it already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-04-12 04:07 am UTC (link)
	You're too hard on yourself, Sougo. The determination and passion that gives you that rocky exterior is one of the things I like about you. I only wish you could see yourself as I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
