[ He's in the chapel, because he spends most of Monday there. He's sitting in a back pew, just admiring the windows in silence, and he'll perk up when he hears his name, turning his head. ]

Oh... it's--Brilith, right? [ this one does NOT memorize the profiles. But her stated intent kind of trips him up, and he comes over a little awkward ]

Uh... I mean ... I'm fine. [ muttered. he's so, so, so, so, so NOT fine, but he's not going to just outwardly EXPRESS that, what do you take him for. ]
stormsoff: (39.)

... he was--

[ a pause. Isaac rubs his arm over his mouth. ]

He was like a brother to me. We spent like ... nearly every day together, somehow. I know he was a jerk and started a ton of fights but he was a good person and didn't deserve--

[ Isaac stops abruptly. Then he just ... shakes his head mutely. He's afraid if he tries to say anything more he'll start crying again, and he's pretty sick of crying. ]

[ Isaac is silent for a long moment. ]
stormsoff: (02.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-08 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
.... I feel dumb. I only knew him for like... two weeks.

[ how did he get so attached

why does it hurt so much ]

[ Isaac sighs, the sound of it tired and a little teary, and eventually nods. ]

... being here is the first time I've actually had any friends at all in a really long time. People are nice to me, and seem like they actually want me around. Even ... even someone like Asch.

So... I get what you're saying. It's just ... it's not fair. I wish we all could have met anywhere but here.
stormsoff: (17.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-11 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
... if I could use my powers I could see if their ghosts were around. It's annoying.

[ huff. ]

Besides, Asch ... told me to live for him, so.

week 2, post-trial

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-08 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ he doesn't know Brilith as well as he knows some of the others, but ...

he does know her, and more than anything, he thinks he can guess how she's feeling right now.

So he dedicates a portion of his night to finding her, however long it takes, wherever she'll end up being. ]
stormsoff: (10.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-08 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... yeah, that's pretty familiar. Isaac will sigh, and ... approach. ]

Brilith? It's ... it's me. ... you gonna be okay?

[ Can I join you?

He doesn't immediately, instead watching her for some cue. ]
stormsoff: (80.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-08 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
... I wish you didn't.

[ soft and sincere. he will end up taking a seat beside her, worriedly watching her face. ]

I'm sorry you do.
stormsoff: (02.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-08 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... she deserves his honesty. ]

... I guessed, but ... I didn't know for sure. She ... was my vote last week.
stormsoff: (64.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-11 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
... don't apologize. Not like it was your fault. We just messed up, all of us. Really bad.

[ ... ] And as angry as I still am at her, I know it wasn't her fault either. Not really. It feels like these transformations can happen to just anyone, and once it starts, you'll end up killing someone no matter what.

[ he's quiet again for a moment. then: ]

How well did you know them? Everybody, this week. I ... really only know Hunter, since we're friends, but I never got to know Mammon or Meltryllis and...

[ ... well, no point in dwelling on "what if" ]
stormsoff: (52.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-11 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
... a roommate and a friend, huh ... you really do get it.

[ its bald, but it's not unkind by any means.

Nia and Asch. Mammon and Hunter. Too similar, all of it. Even down to the accused, and ultimately voted for, friend.



but hunter will be fine ]


... 'm sorry. You know, Nia got the bed in our room. Now that she's gone, me and Ash, we ... neither of us ever took it.

[ felt too weird, to take what was hers. ]

week 3, post-trial

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ The results go up, and somewhat despite himself, Isaac can't help nearly sagging with relief when he doesn't hear Brilith's name. Instead it's Dazai, and he was the guilty party... they got the right person.

Somehow it never feels as good as you think it should, catching the real culprit.

But now that it's over, he can at least help Brilith, who is still sedated and woozy. ]


Come on, can you stand...? [ He'll help pull her up, tugging one of her arms across his shoulders so he can support her weight. ]
stormsoff: (20.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
This body??

[ good lord he has so many questions but they have other stuff to focus on

when she stumbles he will too, but less. he's able to plant his feet and keep them both from falling over. Isaac will grit his teeth and try to shoulder as much of her weight as he can. He ends up having to wrap one arm around her waist, to support her a little better so she won't fall. ]


No, don't worry about that right now. We need to get you to your room.

[ When he's carrying more of her weight, is she able to start moving again? ]
stormsoff: (64.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I got you, [ he'll say quietly, sensing her resolve. Together, they finally make their way out of the ballroom. ]

... where do you wanna go? I mean, I'm assuming your room, but ...

[ ... if there's somewhere else, like a friend's room, he'd understand if she wanted to be somewhere else right now. ]
stormsoff: (73.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not going anywhere, don't worry.

[ He'll flash her a quick smile, worried though it is.

anyway OH BOY, STAIRS. this is going to be a one-step-at-a-time project, but Isaac takes it as slow as she needs, never rushing her. ]
stormsoff: (46.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
No problem.

[ To be honest, he's tired too from carrying most of her weight, but he shows no sign of it, and never once complains. Just carries her as best he can, and he'll help her get into the room, too, once they're there. ]

Almost there... chair or bed?

[ He'll guide her to whichever she picks. ]
stormsoff: (52.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Only once she's stable that he lets her go, and at that point he'll retreat to sit elswhere and catch his own breath for a second. That was a trip. ]

... yeah, of course. Do you need to sleep it off? I can come back later...
stormsoff: (02.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

I'm just worried, [ is what he'll say. ] I don't know what happened back there, only how upset you seemed.
stormsoff: (10.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

How ... many of them have there been?
stormsoff: (11.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Isaac's quiet for longer this time, trying to soak in the magnitude of that number and knowing he's failing. ]

... so you remembered ... what, only one before, and what happened during the trial made you -- "awaken" to all of the others? [ that was the word babo kim had used. or agni. OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS! ]
stormsoff: (16.)

[personal profile] stormsoff 2020-03-15 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Isaac sucks a breath in through his teeth ]

... man, during a trial was a bad time for that. Not that there’s a good time, but...

[ like, that’s gotta be EXTRA worse ]

I ... wish I knew what to say. I can’t imagine what that’s like... all I know is that I’m really sorry, Brilith. You’re ... you’re a good person, and... you shouldn’t have to hurt like this.
