I'm n9t calling f9r a sec9nd chance

WHO: Kankri Vantas and anyone who wants to try to calm him down
TONE: sad. Wow. Sad.
RATING: PG, maybe PG-13?
WHEN: Monday, 1/10/12
WHERE: Divination Tower
WHAT: After waking up on Saturday abruptly dead again, Kankri has been sulking and hiding in the Divination Tower since. The problem being, classes need to be held there on Monday.
STATUS: Ongoing
NOTE: He is a ghost again, although some of you may have seen him around the castle during the event as a short, young boy around 15. This means he can neither touch nor be touched, which is pretty much the source of his pique.


Since early Saturday morning, the noises from the Divination Tower have varied between frustrated screaming and shuddering, muffled sobs. The source of these has hidden from anyone who tried to find him, but come Monday and the resumption of classes as normal the noises have resumed with an even more despairing tone. What began as sulking is bordering on a full-out temper tantrum, now.

Unchecked privileges everywhere.

"That's much better."

Her voice was still firm as she closed her eyes for a moment and clasped her hands in front of her. She glanced around herself, a small frown drawing her eyebrows together, and spoke again.

"Come here, Kankri. Now."

He knew she could probably tell that he was still there, but still he stayed quiet for a long moment as if he could convince her that he had left.

When she spoke again, he realized it was pointless to try to fool her, but at the same time he couldn't bring himself to leave her presence.

"I don't want to distress you. ...Further."

A quiet breath left her, and something very subtle in her demeanour changed - a small drop of her shoulders, the frown clearing, her tightly clasped hands loosening. When she spoke again, it was softer, without that authoritative edge.

"It's alright, sweetheart," she said, shaking her head. "I'd like to see you.. will you come out, please?"

Kankri still hesitated for a second before he made himself visible, coming out of his hiding place slowly. Seeing her hurt. It hurt because he recalled all over again how she had pulled him into a hug.

"It isn't fair."

"I know, sweetie.."

She wanted to hug him, to hold him again and tell him everything would be alright, but.. that was impossible now, wasn't it? Dolores leaned forwards, and gently patted the cushions in front of her as an invitation for him to sit.

"It isn't fair at all."

He glanced at the place where she was inviting him to sit, but then he shook his head and floated backward just slightly.

"...Was I that much of a disruption?"

"There was no way for a class to be taught with you in here, behaving like that," Dolores told him, shifting back when he did and clasping her hands in her lap again. "I volunteered to come and try to talk to you."

For a moment, she looked away, and then she sighed again. "Kankri.. I know that you're angry. I can understand, even if I can't fully empathise. It's difficult now, I know, to think of what you experienced as a gift, rather than something which was given and then stripped away, but you have had a unique opportunity to create new memories with the people who love you.. who still love you."

Kankri was half tempted to sink into the floor and disappear out of embarrassment. He had barely noticed the passage of the days, hadn't realized consciously that it was Monday.

He felt selfish. He felt chided. He felt spoiled. But he also felt cold, and angry, and helpless, and those things together made something dark in him rankle at the idea of Dolores understanding what he was going through. If he thought about it long and hard enough, he could still feel Sal's arms around him when they'd curled up in the same bed on that last night. "It wasn't fair. It only hurt them more." It only hurt him more. Just when he'd been getting used to the cold loneliness of not being able to touch, it had been given back to him and then cruelly stripped away.
