[Riza is standing in a bedroom, or what was once a bedroom. It's obviously been damaged by the fire, light flooding into it from the giant hole in the roof, or what used to be the roof if it hadn't fallen in, bits scattered on the bed and floor. Every step Riza takes makes a small cloud of ash rise up just slightly.

It's so quiet and still, utterly lifeless.

She moves to the door of the closet, slowly and carefully turning the knob and opening it, but the hinges have melted and welded into immovable parts. The door then separates from the frame, weakened by the fires, and falls out of her grasp, making more debris fly up. She moves away before it gets in her face.

In that moment, one can see that light floods into the closet, as well; the roof was not spared for that particular spot, either. When Riza looks into the closet, her back to the PCD, her shoulders slump in obvious disappointment.]


No...

[She reaches in and pulls out a tattered and dirty dress, cradling it in her arms. As she turns around, the sadness is evident on her face, and she falls to her knees, not caring about anything on the ground or around her.

Her wedding dress is ruined.

She sits there for a few seconds, just looking down at the garment, until something seems to finally click in and she pulls it, and her knees, to her chest, burying her face into the fabric as her shoulders shake with that first sob that lets loose the floodgates.

The PCD records this for a moment longer and then shuts off.]

[Armand looks like he wants to say something, but takes a while to say something. His voice is soft as he speaks.] It hurts to lose things, but it's only the memories that you can really keep.

[That little show managed to bring up some buried feelings, making Armand rather sombre.]

The PCDs are good at recording when we would rather they do not.

I didn't think so.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

If it can make you cry, I doubt it's silly.

It seems we are both looking for new residencies.

It's the memories, not the objects.

Not that it makes losing the objects much easier.

A damaged memento can also carry even more memories.

Do you have food? I have been hunting for others, and there is more meat still.

It's not a bad thing either. It's something that will help you grow. [He looks surprised at himself and chuckles. He didn't look much older than Ed, but there was definitely something old about him, and the fire seems to have brought it out.] When did I start getting so like Marius?


If you need meat for any meal, you can message me.

I hope that the next time we meet it's under happier circumstances.

Waits a while before responding to this. -video

No, it can't. -=Especially when some others have insisted he take a break and he just can't.=-

I'll be there shortly.

-=He's limping, dirty, and is carrying a somewhat perpetual scowl on is face as he walks. Gold eyes glance at the house and he scowls even more. He hasn't been to his home yet and it could look just like this.=-

Hey.

-=Edward steps inside, sees the dress and then looks away. That wall over there. That's good.=-

Ah, where do you want me to start?
