It’s quite astounding just how fast things can change. One minute, Liam was having a pleasant time alongside some of those he met a few weeks ago as the parade went down the street. Then a strange ticking sound started to grow louder and louder amongst the parade. It all became clear once Liam’s eyes caught sight of the large mechanical beast behind one of the floats. Before he could even fully process its sudden appearance, he saw another one of those he had fought beside engaging the beast, her flames arching with her blades swings. He watched as her attacks seemed to have little, being knocked down with the creatures large hook like weapon.
His heart sank when the beast crushed her with its last blow. It’s never easy to see someone you know die. Even worse when it happened before one's very eyes.
“We can’t let it claim anyone else,” Liam adds after Nori, his chain fouling out of his arms as he draws upon his power. Immediately they shot forth, chains latching onto light posts and anything else they can, as Liam flies around the street, observing the creature while also checking around in case of stragglers still in the area.
I’ll try and get a post in tomorrow or the day after.
@medalliah
Liam raises a brow, slightly confused as to why she had to say she wasn’t doing anything wrong. Did she think he was coming over to scold her for something? She didn’t really give off the vibe of being someone to cause trouble, though she did always seem a bit down even back after the incident.
“I’m doing fine. Truth be told, this is the first festival I’ve come to since…” he hesitates for a moment, the sad memory of the incident flashed through his mind.“Years ago. A-anyway, you mentioned you’re trying to get some food? If you want, I can grab something for you then. Anything in particular you were looking at?”
@IceHeart
A voice yelling out catches his attention. His gaze turning from Emily, Liam scans the crowd. It wasn’t long before the sight of a rather festive girl weaving through the crowd towards them. “Uh, good?” He blinks as the festive girl stops beside them. Before he can get a moment to figure out whom it is, another familiar face makes their presence known.
@13org
“Ahh, if it isn’t Nori. Indeed, these are certainly much better circumstances to meet.” Liam gives a grin as he says that to him.
He then returns his attention to girl, as she indicates that she is indeed the mysterious girl from before that informed them about what was going on after the incident. “Ah, that certainly explains why I was confused about who exactly you were,”he rubs the back of his head apologetically.
With the announcement of the parade starting, Liam will make way off the path, keeping himself with Emily and the others.
As Liam continues on his Thanksgiving Day wondering around the city, he finds himself stopping for a moment. Ahead of him, he sees a familiar yellow coat that he had seen back during that time. Sure enough, as he once more begins to move forward that he can make out the form of the girl Emily (@medalliah) within its hood. He debated for a moment if he should just continue on, but decided against that. Liam was trying to break out of his long loner rut he’s been stuck in this last several years. Avoiding social interaction wasn’t going to help him with that. As such, he finds himself taking a breath, before shifting himself towards her as he walks.
With a raise of his hand, he calls out to her. “Hello there Emily…It’s been a bit since we last met, hasn’t it?” He gives a lazy going smile. ”You by chance going around and taking in the festivities too?”
Ahh. Thanksgivings Day. It’s that time again already, eh?
Liam finds himself once more out of the house, taking the time to casually stroll through the streets, seeing what’s going on. Maybe find some special thanksgivings day deals at the stores. Well, those that kept themselves open that day at least. He watched as several people passed by with various decorations, putting the finishing touches for the parade coming later that day no doubt.
While the parade was certainly quite the spectacle every year, Liam had found himself a bit solemn about it since the passing of his family. Hard to find yourself in a thankful attitude when that thought crosses his mind. This was probably his first time since then that he even went out on Thanksgiving.
Flashes of memories from his younger self popped up as he looked around. The one where he stood between his parents, his little self holding there hands and shaking in glee as he watched the colorful floats pass by. Such good memories they were…
Liam shakes his head a little, pulling himself out of his sad reminiscing. A small, bitter smile comes to him as he sighs. Keep it together Liam… You’ll get through this.
I’ll try and wrangle up a post in the next day or so. Let’s see if we can shake off that post holidays drag!
”You know, after all that we just went through, I could definitely go for some of this.” Liam could feel the saliva building in his mouth from the smell alone of the place. It didn’t take long for him to quickly step up to the counter to take a look at all that was there. Pastries and ice creams? It was a sweet tooth’s dream in here.
As he found himself looking, Liam sees that the strange girl, whom had showed up after beating the monster, was also gazing upon the food before them. It seemed she really wanted to feast upon what was in front of her, though it seemed she was muttering something to herself as she was. Maybe this strange person was broke?
Catching the attention of the employee behind the counter, Liam proceeded to give his order. ”Hello. I’d like to get 2 apple fritters. Oh and…” his eye glanced back over to the strange girl, speaking over at her. ”Hey. Looks like you want something over there, am I right? If so, pick something and I’ll get if for you this time.” After that ordeal, Liam was feeling pretty generous. And if this being was in part of why he had the powers he did to be able to fight back, he was certainly willing to offer this at least as a small thanks.
Same. Hopefully can back into the swing of things now.
I was just giving the chance for someone else to go first since I went ahead the last couple times. If not, I’ll write something up soon-ish
