[The church offers little in the way of comfort, but it is a closed door. That's all Camille needs.
The glowing words died down the second she entered, as though sensing they would be thwarted. Her breathing slows. She leans against the door with both hands, regaining her calm.
Then she turns and finds a whole ass man is there.]
[ sometimes it really is about the mental comfort, not the literal safety.
but yes hello. here he is. he's somewhere over by where the bible is or isn't depending on who had sticky fingers recently, but his hands are rather firmly behind his back. ]
[The theatre is empty. Who wants to visit a place where death hit twice?
It's a fact Camille is counting on as she runs her fingers over the broken planks of the stage. There — a sturdy splinter. Three inches long with an unforgiving point, sturdy base.
She pries it loose and scoots to the edge of the stage, breathing thin. She pulls her sleeve back and finds a word to trace. Just trace. It's fine to follow the lines.
Babydoll. Cherry. Ripe. Fix. Senseless and feminine picks. Or there's the longer and crueler ones, like duplicitous, or wicked. More fitting words for the situation are carved in less accessible places. She shouldn't remove her jeans to rewrite wretched along the back of her thigh, and she'd need a mirror for useless, which curved under her left shoulder blade.
Worrisome. That works. Along the forearm, easy to see and cover. Smaller text swarms it on every side, coming up to the wrist, but that one had been cut in when she had more space to spare.
Camille is dragging the splinter along the second R when the door opens.]
although, to be fair, it's not as though he can clearly see what she's doing from all the way by the door. especially when it's something small on somewhere as general as the forearm. ]
...
[ but there's an Energy that feels off, so it's easy enough for him to say: ]
[She careens out of the memory like she's dropped out of a moving train. Camille's knees hit the ground like his had hit the stone. She's on all fours, gasping, feeling the slick of blood and the blister where the knife handle rubbed against her palm. Gone now, of course. Yet the effort and the pain of killing stings her nerves in the long minute after she's fallen out of the vision.
How about that? She's got her confirmation. Fire off the confetti cannons.
Camille's gut lurches. She dry heaves. Sits back on her heels, sweating, looking to the sky.
[ i'm rng-ing a location and voiding it because he ain't in the mortuary and my brain cells won't think.
but eventually the door will open, although astarion is clearly cautious of someone knocking on doors late at night. he does look a little less fight or flight primed when he sees it's camille though. ]
[YELLS I'm sorry I was too 3D last night to come back to this]
Sounds like a fun time. [She skipped it. Not feeling particularly keen on getting heated about things in public. Still she smiles, folding her arms and leaning over the table (assigns them sitting), eager to listen.]
What were your arguments? Run it by me before you dash the ocean from your mind forever.
[I cannot tell you how much I hate that it is week 4.
Anyway yeah she did. She can be out wandering post-swamp, shoos away kindly characters who wished to babysit her. There's a bandage over her right eye socket, though her still drying hair falls over it often enough to hide. She'll slow when she sees Astarion.]
[Puts them at the Lakeside Amusement Park. The scenery does little to alleviate the low-lying apprehension thrumming off her, as well as the constant pit of depression. Fun times for anyone who wanders too close.]
I heard the people here can influence what shows up here. Did they miss the other theme park that much?
[Her gaze has not so subtly lingered on the ferris wheel. :weary:]
Good question. If it showed up after Rondo and Karlach arrived, it might've been influenced by them. Or people watching the trial where we caught Karlach.

Camille strolls in with only minimal caution. She plucks a picture off a dresser, then sets it face down.]
Hm. More goats. [Terrible. Even if these ones are much cuter than the one in the church.] Seems like whoever lived here has split. Smells a bit stale.

What’s with the whole goat religion thing anyway? Someone a little too obsessed with their favourite animal?
