natalie godfrey, the red baron

WHO: Natalie & Conrad
WHEN: during the ghost times
WHERE: Conrad's apartment
WHAT: ghosts??

Natalie didn't really know what Con was talking about. His message online had said something about... ghosts? And... the flight he'd taken down? It hadn't made a lot of sense, but the only thing clear was that he was freaking out and that she needed to be there, Luckily she wasn't out of town and so it was a short ride to his apartment building, fishing his spare key out of her leather jacket as she reached his door. She didn't know what state he was going to be in, didn't know if he would even answer her.

She unlocked the door and pushed it open, calling out his name as she did.

The Baron was far from being able to cope with this again. It had taken him months, maybe even a full year to get over that tragedy. Now all those people, they stood there laying blame because they were in a state of unrest. All that anger had to go to someone, and he had been the pilot. He was the reason they hadn't made it off the plane.

His hands shook as he tried to pour a glass of scotch, the alcohol just pouring itself all over the counter and his hands, nowhere near the glass, so he just took a swig right out of the bottle.

	Moving into the apartment she spotted Con in the kitchen - young again, that strange babyface she hadn't seen in so long. She knew that wasn't a good sign all on it's own. "Con," she said from the doorway, letting him know she was there before she moved closer, before she tried to put an arm around him. "What's wrong?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Conrad put the drink down, startling himself as he looked around. "You can't see them? They all stood asking why he didn't try harder. Why had they been chosen to die, why were they back. All questions Conrad didn't have the answer to. No one could ever understand reasons beyond them. God had failed or he had saved them. Conrad didn't know which one. He didn't know why he still lived when he should have gone down as just a name for the history books.

Natalie looked around them but she could see nothing but an empty apartment. There were two choices: either Conrad was seeing things out of stress (which was possible) or there were actually ghosts she couldn't see (which was also incredibly possible, considering the world they lived in). Either way, Con was seeing something and he needed her.

She shook her head. "I can't see anything," she told him. "I just see you." Natalie reached out and put her hands onto his cheeks, making him look just at her. "Just look at me, okay?"

	"They're there, why can't you see them?" He frantically looked around seeing their cold, dead faces talking all at one time, trying their best to get answers out of him. There were too many. "I can't answer them..." he said, his emotions starting to overwhelm him as he tried to focus on her and her alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Silence and stillness, that was all Natalie could perceive, but despite that she tried to look around again to spot the ghosts. When she saw nothing, she looked back at Con. "Come on," she said. "We need to get out of this apartment. Right now." (Reply to this) (Parent)
