followstheflame[At first, the post is quiet, the sounds of Adstring at night evident on the feed, but as one listens longer, heavy breathing can be distinguished, as if from a distance, intermixed with some moaning and a shuffling of feet. Next, a louder sound of metal sliding on metal, followed by a click, is heard, and anyone who knows firearms will immediately recognize it as the sound of a magazine being put into a cartridge. If one listens even longer still, a high-pitched whining can be heard from even farther away. Is that a dog?
Of course, for anyone dealing the zombies as of late, this scene probably will be easily discernible, though still strangely calm. Whoever is in charge of the weapon clearly has done this before, or something like it.
The pained breathing is getting louder, closer. A shorter click sounds as the gun is cocked. And then, a familiar voice, though it's quieter than usual.]
I'm sorry.
[Riza fires the gun, the echo of the shot reverberating for a few long moments. The breathing has stopped and finally, finally, there's the tell-tale thud of the body falling to the ground. A few small steps and then another cocking of the gun before a second shot is fired, the sound echoing again, though the bullet makes more of a dull sound this time.
The dogs inside bark tentatively, then return to their whining.]

Date: 2011-05-25 06:49 pm (UTC)The bundle of cloth he brought with him gets rolled out next to Luca's body before he carefully carries her over onto it, wrapping the fabric over the discolored face.]
The clinic?

Date: 2011-05-25 06:58 pm (UTC)She should be the one doing this, she was the one who killed Luca. This is her responsibility.
But she kneels there and doesn't have the heart to interrupt him. Until he covers Luca's face, that is.]
Don't...she'll suffocate when she comes back.
[As to whether or not they should take her to the clinic or not, Riza wants to say no, wants to keep her at home, but she also knows she won't be able to offer any kind of comforts she'll need. Reluctantly, she nods.]

Do you think you are well enough to move at high speeds?

Date: 2011-05-30 03:57 am (UTC)A few moments later she chances sight again and pulls away slightly, still a little shaky.]

Date: 2011-05-30 04:18 am (UTC)I'm...going to be staying with Alphonse until all of this clears up. You don't...have to wait with me until he shows up.

Date: 2011-05-30 08:47 pm (UTC)[He sets the body down in one of the rooms and uncovers her face a little, careful to keep the forehead covered. Stepping back out and placing a kidou barrier around the room, he burns the gloves on his hands and gently guides Riza over to the sink to make sure that all the blood is washed off her.]
But I want to.

Date: 2011-06-01 03:39 am (UTC)It is the very least I can do.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-06-01 04:34 am (UTC)...But no. She's not ready for that. Instead she just rubs at the edges, making sure it's good enough for now.
She makes her way toward the table and sits down, occasionally glancing back toward the hall where Luca's room is now.]

Date: 2011-06-01 05:01 am (UTC)He could say all manners of words meant to comfort, but he refrains. In the end, they're all empty.]

Date: 2011-06-01 05:07 am (UTC)[Riza brings the cup to her lips for a sip. The words are not only for the tea.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-06-01 05:15 am (UTC)You're welcome.
