[237] 'Lost Someone Close to the Stabilizer' group mingle
[This group's to meet in the warm, coffee-scented air of Bean Crushers in sector four. Inside the shops doors there's a plethora of cushy chairs, couches and bean bags to sit on and a small stage typically used for poetry or comedy performances. Today it's re-purposed with signs encouraging individuals to use it as a platform to speak from, though smaller grouping of chairs are there for the less social to chat in smaller numbers. Through out the shop is the typical array of goodies; brownies, coffee, cookies and danishes as well as other pastries and small bowls of candy on available ledges. For those who need a little something to get through things, there's also a small selection of alcohol available on the premises.

Several signs and boards around the room list questions of discussion, as well as stacks of cards for inmates to use as topics. (A few examples: "Have you lost someone to the stabilizer recently? Do you miss them? How does it make you feel?" )

[OOC; Mingle! Feel free to use any of the mentioned questions or come up with your own topics of conversation, though remember that the food is spiked albeit delicious. I'll post a comment for Rebecca below, but will otherwise turn off notifs for this page.]

[ considering the nature of the group, Bak is drinking coffee in honor of the friendship he had lost. ]

That stupid idiot upped and left without a single word of farewell. The least he could have done was stop by with all the others!

[ yes, he is referencing 4th wall day and no, his coffee isn't spiked with anything at all. Why are you asking? ]

That idiot, Komui of course. He's always doing stuff like this!

Oh, I'm so sorry... I didn't even realize that he was gone. [ Sadness. ] Sounds like you guys were close.

[ his eyes go wide ]

You didn't—[ no, no, don't take it seriously, Bak. Komui had often preferred working from the shadows when he could. And it hadn't been so very long in the grand scheme of things... ]

We were colleagues. Of course we were close. [ ish ] How did you know him? [ and please don't let it be because of the cat ears... he's heard plenty of tails already! ]

Oh, uh... I didn't really know him that well. We only talked once, really... few weeks ago. 'Bout missin' people, actually. [ Ironically. ]

I'm sorry he's gone. He seemed like a nice guy.

[ he held still at the mention of missing people and then simply gave up a big, deep sigh. ]

He was a nice guy. If you could get him to do anything. [ which, to Komui's credit, was an awful lot after you dug underneath the surface. He just... was irritating ] So had gone missing? [ this was safer, much safer. Or so he hoped. ]

[ Bak nodded, humbled by the reminder ]

Too many have been lost. I wonder if there's been a tally done of the missing.

[ because there was comfort in logistics; they had no emotions. ]

[Oh honey...]

I'm sorry. It's hard to lose someone close to you.

[ he closed his jaw hard on another vitriolic word and then swallowed. Congrats Michiru. You got him to shut-up for a moment. ]

He wasn't that close.

[ but he can still grouse, because in truth, he wanted to believe it. But the lie is shown in how he suddenly clutched his coffee mug to his chest, practically cherishing it. Freudian slip? Not at all... ]

[ he shook his head ] Nonsense, I finally have peace and quiet in the house.

[ he gulped and then gulped around a sip of his coffee again before he blushed lightly, looking away. ]

Did you... lose someone as well? [ she must have, if she was here, right? ]

I'm sure that can't be everything.

I did. I lost a very good friend. I met him when I first arrived. It was one of the days with anomaly that causes an influx of inmates.

[ ah... Bak flicked a glance to her face and then back down to his coffee, turning the handle. ] You only knew him for a day then?

[ strange how friendships can be made so fast and yet be so fleeting. ]

I knew him for longer than that. He was still here when I returned to the dome. He left before we came over to this one.

... You're referring to the other asylum, then. [ he paused ] Who was he?

[ unfortunately for Bak, he's never known any dome other then this one, but occasionally, he hears a thing here and there. ]

[Poor man! Lacus wouldn't leave someone in pain like this no matter what, but the clothing that distinctly marks him as Black Order has her even more eager to help.]

Sometimes it's all the more painful if you only have them for one day. [She smiles sympathetically.] Although I understand your point. It feels like something would be better than nothing at all.

[ he harrumphed because really, Komui probably just didn't want to deal with Bak's ire. ]

It hardly maters now. He's always been difficult.

[ and brilliant, but some things are best left unsaid. Shifting uncomfortably on his chair, Bak took a tiny peek at Lacus, afflicted with his usual unease in the face of a comely woman's presence! ]

Did you have someone visit? [ because what is small talk? ]

I did. [Not this time, but in times past.] I found it very upsetting, but I took advantage of the chance all the same. There are those here who would give all they own for the chance I had, after all, even if it didn't last. It didn't feel right to squander it.

[ he nodded, only a little troubled. ] Chance or no, I'd still like to know where they go when they're gone. It wouldn't be half so upsetting if only we just knew!

[ because everyone, it seemed, didn't remember a damn thing when they disappeared. And Bak so hated a mystery! ]

I'm sure you could find out in time. As I understand it, the Black Order is very versatile when it comes to matters like that. [Anyone on Allen's team, so to speak, has her automatic faith and respect.]

[ his expression immediately fell and his voice was flat when he spoke. ] You know of the Black Order? [ did anyone from before his time manage to keep their secrets, well... secret? Although, even Bak had to admit. The Black Order wasn't entirely a secret. But there were still rules to be followed! ]

A bit. I was good friends with Allen, but mostly I knew of it when they joined the Defense Force in the old dome. A bit of information had to be shared in order for all of the Exorcists to be admitted.

Does that trouble you?

[ Bak immediately shook his head ] Komui had his reasons. [ for both joining and leaving the force. ] I'm just unused to speaking of it so freely.

[ for good reason. Those who knew of the Akuma, unfortunately, rarely survived the Akuma. ]
