YET ANOTHER PSL AU POST BECAUSE WE ARE MONSTERS.



LITERALLY.


Kinda the premise.

[He got as far as rolling his sleeves up, then deciding to roll them down and rinse them out as well but stops. Eyes focused down.]

What?

Do you - if you need help -
eyediot: (if I could stop myself I would)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-18 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

[It's clipped, short. Trying to keep back the anger from upstairs since it's unwarranted. He gets his hands rinsed off, splashes his face and just... Sees himself. Sees the green hand-shaped splotches and catches his breath.]

Fairly certain I can handle washing my own face.

[Well. Maybe a little bite.]

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-18 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what I meant.

[ A misty shadow slips in behind him, murky in the reflection but still visible. ]
eyediot: (s5; and bring you back to me)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-18 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Then what did you mean?

[It's... This shirt is ruined. No salvaging it. He starts unbuttoning the dress shirt and shucks it to the corner, not really caring about the very physical, visible crack in his ice scar, or the new burn scars here and there. He's focused on not looking at Algric and finding those extra clothes his younger self stored away here.]

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-18 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)

[ Oh -

Whatever Algric was going to say is swallowed up by the horror of that cracking going through Jonah’s shoulder. God, it’s even worse than he thought.

He reaches out a hand for it. Hesitates. ]

You’re hurt, Jon. God, your shoulder is…

eyediot: (and if I grow old well)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-18 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pulls away from the cold, shrinking a bit.] Don't.

[A breath. And then starts pulling the spare clothes on -a cheap shirt and a hoodie.]

Just tell me what you meant.

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-18 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I ... I just want to help you. I want to do undo even a little of this.

[ His voice fades to a whisper as he lets his hand fall. ]
eyediot: (and to change what was real)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-18 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jonah doesn't answer for a long moment. Stuck staring down at his hands, remembering like a dream for a few minutes he didn't have fingers. They were gone, melted down to the bone and-

He presses his hands to his face, heels of his palms to his eyes and breathes.

A dream. That's all.]


We still have work to do. We should go see how Tim's doing and finish cleaning up.
curriculum_fictae: (apprehension)

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-18 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
... Right. All right.

[ Algric recedes, then, waiting for Jonah to finish. ]

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-18 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right. Just.

Jonah rubs at his face then starts back upstairs. He'll get some time alone later to process. Clean up for now.

He makes it back upstairs, waiting at the door to see if Tim is finished...]

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-18 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Boy it sure is. Jonah doesn't even care at the moment.]

How is it?
eyediot: (for that heaving sunken chest)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-19 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
For the sake of brevity, let's go with practically.

[They can deal with the emotional when they go home.

He can deal with his own emotions when he's alone later.

For the moment, he leans trying to peer through the doorway.]


I still have to scrub the CCTV as well before we go.
eyediot: (no I'll be a stone)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-19 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
... [He starts to reach for Tim's arm, some kind of reassurance... but stops. Never quite making contact. Instead, he nods.]

All right... You both go home. I'll catch up.

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-19 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be daft, Jon. We're not leaving you here.

[ Algric's voice appears out of nowhere, followed shortly by the rest of him. ]
eyediot: (and to change what was real)

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Jonah has to fight himself not to look towards Algric... But instead at the hand offered.]

...We need his keys. To... T-to lock up until we can finish the rest.
curriculum_fictae: (021)

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-19 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'll get them.

[ Algric moves past Tim to Elias's office, sifting through drawers. ]

[personal profile] eyediot 2021-07-19 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Something just irritates him further at that, Algric going in to do that.

It should be his-

He knows they're both angry. He knows they both want to tear into him. He doesn't want to take the hand, but... he does. Very loosely, ready to pull away at the first hint that Tim's done.]


Fine. Home, then.
curriculum_fictae: (apprehension)

[personal profile] curriculum_fictae 2021-07-19 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Algric is just desperate to be useful in any way that he can, okay. Anything to assuage the guilt that his anger is quickly converting into.

He reemerges a moment later, keys in hand. ]


H-here.
