[He's going to collect all the journal pages, putting them with the journal on the hearth. Once all the paper is recovered safely from the fire, he'll pull out his own journal, pull out some blank pages from the back, and put them in the fire.]

[Then he'll light it.]

Re: Amethyst

[ The room warms, and the lonely feeling lifts a bit ]

Re: Amethyst

He'll pick up the journal then, and look through the pages still in the book.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ The leather of the journal has been dyed amethyst-purple, and seems to be worn from use. Flipping open the journal reveals that a number of pages have been torn out throughout the front pages, clearly used as kindling for the unlit fire. The remaining pages each have a single name written on them in an unsteady hand:

Night, Sky, Ashes, Kitten, Rider, Jaina, Sage, Beauty

There are a number of blank pages still in the book. ]

[He hums to himself. He then gathers the pages reaches into his pockets for a needle and spare leather string. Because of course he carries all sorts of tools with him like a loser.]

[He's gonna sew these pages back into the journal.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ Karen watches from the sofa. Once you've sewed the pages in, they seem to smooth back in exactly as if they'd never been torn out. ]

[Will set the journal back where he found it. Then he'll lit the candelabra and open the window curtains. We need more liiiiight.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ The added light definitely helps the room feel warmer and more comfortable.

The feeling of being ready to leave remains. ]

Backpack next. Let's go rifling through that.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ The simple canvas bag is packed full. As you unpack it, you find a set of Amethyst's Wonderland uniforms, a set of their winter Camelot uniforms, and a hand-knit scarf in amethyst-purple. ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

[Hmmm, let's head for the bedroom then. Maybe if we put the clothes away?]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ There is a door where the bedroom should be, but you feel as though it won't lead where you want.

There is a trunk next to the door, however. ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

[Hmmm, right then. Opening the trunk!]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ The chest smells strongly of wood, and is mostly empty. An inner shelf holds a stuffed duck that looks like it’s been well-loved, a glass vial of water with an amethyst ribbon, a sheet of gold star stickers (with five remaining), and a little bag of 5 cookies. ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

....

[Okay, but what if I just touch everything?]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ Pick one to start with, oh handsy one ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

[Hoooow about the stickers.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ You receive the memory of saying goodbye to someone Lucky cared for ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

[Lucky, you're gonna give me all the feels today, aren't you?]

[Okay, cookies next.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ Every last feel.

The cookies give you the memory of a joyful victory ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

[Oh good, it's NOT ALL LEAVING in the trunk.]

[Also you and your kids.]

[Okay, duck, though he has some suspicions, and if things don't hit like a truck, the vial of water.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ No, you just made a lucky guess on which one to start with.

The duck gives the memory of a very important promise. ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

....

[He smiles and....sets down the duck.]

[He pulls out his notebook and sits down right there, and starts drawing.]

[It'll be some minutes before he finishes. Simple sketches of them as children together and them now. And writing. "We'll be friends forever, no matter how far apart we are."]

[He'll then fold it up and put it under the duckling.]

[Then vial of water.]

Re: Amethyst

[balancetheblood]

[ The vial of water gives the memory of a not-so-heartwarming moment. ]

Re: Amethyst

[protectshisown]

[Gods, why the spear?]

[Breathe. Breeeeeeathe.]

[But....they care. They care, and it's real. They would be there and YOU'LL be there and that's what matters.]

[Yeah, he's pulling out the stuff from the backpack and he's putting it in the trunk.]
