Case 34

[PRIVATE TO SELF//SLIGHTLY HACKABLE]

I can't believe Doumeki's gone...

I mean...people have left before...but Doumeki was my friend. I worked for him, he let me stay with him...he meant a lot to everybody.

I dunno what's gonna happen now. Everybody is taking it hard...he's been here a while...

I should do something. Something to try and make everybody feel a little better. I just need to think of something...


...Oh my god, he left me the flower shop.

I have a shop to run now. How...How am I supposed to do that? I've only ever worked for somebody else in the retail business!! This is completely different from paranormal investigating!

I have a lot to think about...

...Here's to you, Doumeki. I'll do the best I can. Not just with the shop either, but with everybody in the apartment.

[END PRIVATE]


So....uh...I own a flower shop now!

Anybody wanna give me a hand with it? I've never run a shop before, and I promised Doumeki I'd do a good job...so I really don't know what to do yet.

Orion, you'll help me...right? I mean, we'll still do the paranormal investigating, because that's awesome and the best job in the world, but...well, having some extra money coming in couldn't hurt.

...though, I don't think Doumeki ever actually paid me...ah well, that's not the point.

You guys'll help me, and it'll be great! Any takers?

Ain't this whole place 'paranormal'?

[prodigalvampire]

Flowers? .....do you have lilies by any chance?

Of course I'll help, Hanna. In any way I can.

Voice;

[bufferprincess.livejournal.com]

I can help.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...but I mean bad paranormal. Like paranormal that decides its ok to hurt people when its not.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so...why?

Awww, Watanuki...;-;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Watanuki...

I'm sorry...I miss him too.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Orion. You're the best. I think I'm gonna need the help.

Voice;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You're awesome, Di Di.

;;;;;; he is never not EVER admitting he's upset. even though everybody knows he is.

[spirit-bait.livejournal.com]

Yeah

When I see him again, I'm not cooking another thing for him. That jerk left me behind

I can start at the shop tomorrow, if you want.

D: I feel so awful...I shall try to force feed him cheer!!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...I'm still really sorry. I...I dunno what to say...

...We should do something for him. Something he'd love that's crazy and awesome and totally Doumeki. And then we can start at the shop.

EXCELLENT. he will try to wallow BUT SOB WATANUKI DON'T DO THAT ;___;

[spirit-bait.livejournal.com]

Totally Doumeki?

We could... eat? A lot. I could make inarizushi. It's his fav--

I WONT LET YOU WALLOW D:<

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Totally Doumeki.

We could do that...

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

I don't really fatigue, so feel free to overwork me.

... Are you all right?

video;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You're my best friend! I don't wanna overwork you!

...
It's just a little weird, that's all.

I mean, people have left before, but...

video;

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to do it if it takes some of the strain off of you.

Yeah. I don't imagine it will ever get easier to watch people leave. But if you ever wanna talk about it...

video;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You're the greatest, Orion. Really.


...I think I need a hug right now, actually.

action;

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

Hang on.

[And he shows up at the doorway of Hanna's room in less than a minute.]

action;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[And Hanna is at the door, a sad little smile on his face.]

Hey.

action;

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[He steps inside and rests a hand on Hanna's shoulder. Then with a small smile, he pulls him into a hug.]

action;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna's smile seems to get a little less sad as he's pulled into the hug, burying his face into Orion's chest.]

I'm gonna miss him...'s weird. This was his apartment, technically...whose apartment is it now?

action;

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

[He seems relieved to see some of that sadness melt away, and rests a hand at the back of Hanna's head.]

I will too. ...That's a good question. Would it be Watanuki's now?

action;

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Zombies make everything a little better. He snuggles against Orion a bit more.]

I guess...he's taking it really hard...I wanna do something for him, but I don't know what.

action;

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

Hm...

[He runs his fingers through Hanna's hair in thought.]

We could have... a going away party? Just between a few people. Maybe that would cheer him up.
