[Starting from from the 18th of August, Leanne has rarely gone home, usually she been spending the day working and then the majority of the night at the After Life, drinking. It was surprising how easy it was to regress to old habits before being reunited with her mate. Tonight was one of those nights were she spent, drinking away.

Leanne sighs as she finishes a shot and sets it down with a loud thud, idly tapping on the counter to order another shot. She realizing that her communicator was on, she goes to look towards it.]

Does anyone know just how to go home? Even for a little bit?

[The other shot was delivered and she goes to down it, shuddering a little.]

I am worried about my people and being away from them for so long. Plus, around this time is important to us and I miss it....

[Another tap on the counter to order yet another shot before she reaches over to turn off the communicator.]

The Dream Docks on Quince Avenue and 14th Street.

[A more concerned do you want to talk about it tone]

What time is this?

[song_princess]

The Dream Docks? What district is it in?

[A sigh and more alcohol is downed.]

Over 25 years ago, humans...My apologies, Beorcs came and slaughtered my people. For over 20 years I thought I was the last one but I have found others and have been taking care of them. But it is still a scar on all of us.

Genessia. I could show you if you'd like.

[He can't stop her drinking because he can't be so hypothetical to the point that he hasn't himself during The Time War. Rather those eyes - those brown eyes turn sad, very old and sympathetic]

I'm sorry. I'm so, so, sorry.

I know how you feel. Believe me I know exactly how you feel.

Dream Docks. Gotta warn y' though, sweetheart. They can be a hell of a trip, an' if y' come back with 'nother life y' lived separate from the one y' think y' lived, 's gonna give y' the shittiest headache in the history a pain.

Ain't gotta worry 'bout folk back home too much, though. Time's kinda weird an' y' ain't gonna miss nothin' by bein' here.

[Video]

[song_princess]

[Forces a chuckle.]

I think that I can handle it. Plus, I know how to make the proper medicine for headaches.

[A long sigh.]

It's not like I have anything or anyone waiting for me here.

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

Medicine can't cure it, trust me on that'n. Don't wanna believe me, then ask Rip. She got it worse'n me. Ain't sayin' don't do it. Jus' sayin' y' oughta know what yer maybe walkin' int', since I knowed a differnt version a y' somewhere else an' there's a possibility y' might suddenly 'member that life, too, if y' go take the long sleep.

[Namur frowns.]

Uhhhh. Ain't y' married?

Action

[fierybluebird]

[Firmly takes the bottle away.]

You could go to the Dream Docks, but I didn't do it out of homesickness. I did it to protect the lot of you. Now tell me what's plaguing you, baby sister.

Action

[song_princess]

[Just gives him a look before ordering another shot.]

Nothing is plaguing me. I keep hearing about the Dream Docks so perhaps I should visit them.

[And downs her new shot before Marco could take it from her.]

Action

[fierybluebird]

[HERON HISS.] Nothing you say, but I remember my baby sister getting mad enough to tell me not to drink around her and to come to her instead. Is this how Ace taught you to settle things? Because I've got a few complaints about him as a captain then!

Action;

[keepitcatty]

[You are so not going to get away with that scent of yours, Leanne.

Ranulf easily tracked down his companion to this tavern, and that alone concerns him. He was just in time to overhear what she had to say on the communicator when he walks over and takes away the next drink that slides Leanne's way.]

I understand all too well. It's an important time for all us Laguz.

But Leanne... Drinking yourself into oblivion is no way to mourn Serenes.

Action;

[song_princess]

[Dangit Ranulf! Just let her mope and deal with things the way she has learned how. She gives him a look as he takes away her drink. She waves a hand to order another, allowing him to keep it.]

No, it's not. But it is not only for Serenes. It is for things to come that you have yet to experience and bear witness to.

[She closes her eyes with a long sigh.]

We all have our ways to way with the aftermath. For Beorcs, Laguz and Branded, I kept up a smile and the act like it never affected me. Just so their own hearts could be at ease while there is none to ease mine.

Re: Action;

[keepitcatty]

Nobody wants to see you in a downward spiral like this. I'm sure Tibarn would have a few flying metaphors for you if he saw you like this.

[Fine, have the drink, but Ranulf is taking the keys. Metaphorically. A moment of thought, he snaps his fingers.]

Leanne, let's go to Fayren. To the forest there. Sing one of your Galdrs.

Hell, I'll even sing with you. Even if I'm terrible at it.

voice.

[carrythesin]

Dream Docks Miss.

Re: voice.

[song_princess]

That is what people have been telling me, my little one.

[Video]

[pkmn_hero]

[He is heading over to wherever she is. Because no one should look that sad and be by themselves. Especially not a friend.]

Why is it important?

[Maybe a festival or something like that?]

[Video]

[song_princess]

[No nestling. This place is not one for you.]

It an a very important anniversary. One that must always be remember lost those we have lost are forgotten.

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

[But she's there and he'll go. Risks for friends. It how things should be. And Ash is pensive as she speaks, having learned that from his time in Sinnoh. Finally he nods and gives her a warm smile.]

That is important. Can I help? i might not know your friends, but I know you and this is important!

[uccellodifuoco]

[He's sitting at the memorial in the village that Marco opened a path to, like he has been doing for the past days, drinking and "getting drunk" though not as drunk as he would have liked to. Still he has been ignoring most of the world for the most part, thus not following Leanne's tracks as much as he should have.]

[He only checks the network out of a random whim, a message of Leanne drinking wasn't what he expected. He frowns at her words, had something happened to her people around this time?]

[...]

[.....]

[Okay, so maybe he's drunker than he thought because he can't bring it to mind but there's a voice that is kicking him already for not being able to remember inmediately.]

Oi, if you were in the mood for drinking you could have told me, y'know. Unless you don't want the company.

[Video]

[song_princess]

[This was a surprising message. She honestly never expected one from him, especially during this time. She lets out a sigh at his words and shakes her head.]

You know that I would never turn away your company, Darling. I haven't been able to reach you no matter how hard I tried and you no longer come home.

[Video]

[uccellodifuoco]

[He blinks at that, staring at the screen with a confused frown.]

[She says she couldn't reach him, and he has been ignoring the network and everything so that is right. But why didn't she just send a signal with her Cosmos or something like he taught her?]

Oh...

[He taught her in Nautilus. Where they could bend reality. Here it doesn't work that way. Here all she has to reach him with is basically the device he has been ignoring. And the trust that he will keep an eye on her. Like he promised.]

[Unlike what he has been doing.]

... I'm an idiot, right?

[It's not really a question, even now he can tell he is. Though not entirely why it somehow feels right.]

[He sighs, shaking his head and starts to move to get up.]

[And falls on his ass right away.]

Ugh.

[He frowns and raises a finger at Leanne.]

Give me... Give me a minute. Or two. I can do this. Where... Where is that? That, where you're drinking, do they still have some more?

[He keeps working on getting up as he talks, or rather as he babbles, slowly so he won't fall again.]

[k2so]

Going back is not an option but you could visit the Dream Docks to know how things are going back home.

Are you sure you should be drinking that much, Leanne?

[song_princess]

Perhaps I should visit them and soon then.

[She blinks and like a good tipsy person, quickly shakes her head at the question.]

Yes, I am sure I should be drinking this much. In fact I can handle even more.

[k2so]

If anything, it could help to put your mind at ease.

[ Cute but also a bit worrisome. ]

I see. But drinking to forget your problems will only give you a massive headache the next day.

Action

[maidaein]

Lady Leanne? What's going on? I haven't seen you back at the mansion in days.

[ Given the absurd lengths Leanne went to help her while she was down, Micaiah had cast aside her reclusive ways once she saw the video. Having been close by and seeing her broadcast by accident, she had decided to show herself not a moment too soon. ]

I never took you for being such a heavy drinker.

[ Micaiah's concern is as strong as the awkwardness in her voice. ]

Re: Action

[song_princess]

I have been busy with work. I am sorry, my lady Micaiah.

[She sighs as she gains a sad smile.]

I am sorry if I have been worrying you.

[She goes to let out a small giggle and shrugs her shoulders.]

That just shows how well I have been able to hide it. Though in this world, this month is probably the first I touched it.... I think.
