Welcome to Dead
[You Are Dead.
Your last thoughts before the finishing blow may differ as well as if you had felt any pain or not. Let's be real, folks have been extra in the mansion so it's more than likely some crazy way to go. What can you do about that? But if you were thinking that death involves going to a place filled with fire and brimstone or a place filled with fluffy clouds and golden gates...sorry to disappoint.
When you wake up, the first thing you will notice is how cold you feel. Whatever you were wearing before, it will not protect you against the snow and wind. Nothing was taken from you but you cannot help but feel for some reason, it feels like your privacy was violated. But that's small potatoes compared to where you happen to wake up: a hole in the ground. Just a typical average sized human sized hole, no big deal.
Once you get out from your 'comfy' hole, you will see markers by each hole...best not to think about those and focus on finding shelter for now. You might want to be aware of that massive tornado that can be seen from your wake up points. Try NOT to leave by swimming into the water behind said points.
Better hurry.]

I know. ... She deserved to go out in a fight, though. I don't want her to have had to kill, but I know she would have preferred to go out swinging...
no subject
[ She gives a shaky laugh but it's faint, at least comforted by that he didn't seem as alarmed by the hug this time or bothered by her getting emotional over this. ]
I... c-can relate to her... since I... I wish I could have fought back more... gone out differently than I did.
no subject
... You don't seem like the kind of person who likes fighting. Sometimes... those are the strongest. I guess... they just have stronger wills.
no subject
I... I'm not a big fan of fighting, no... but I would if it means... I could stand up for my friends. To do anything I... c-could to help. Even if it meant putting myself into... a situation where I was out of my element.
[ All of this is stuff she's never really told anyone else here and it's completely unintended that it happened this way. ]
You've been holding so much weight on your shoulders all on your own here... that makes you strong too. Even now you're being stronger... t-than I am...
no subject
I just... notice the details and put them in my brain. I remember things. I don't... I guess I have a lot on my shoulders. Even if I fought to protect people, I deserve to be dead for how many people I killed.
I think... you're better off not fighting. Not that you couldn't... but I don't think you'd be the same after.
no subject
[ Even for where her head is resting against his shoulder right now, she manages to give it a slight, but visible shake. ]
No, you don't. You're not a cold-hearted murderer, Jun. Don't say things l-like that.
[ A moment follows that and her shoulders fall slightly, her tears slowing a bit now. Something has her clutching a little bit where her hands are resting, unwilling to move now for a reason. ]
Depends on the type of fighting... I... saved the world once and the one person who I wanted to see me do it... wasn't there anymore and it was my fault. If I had to fight and it would bring her back... i'd do it.
no subject
[He's a little surprised, but he shakes his head slightly.]
Why do you think it was your fault?
no subject
[ The soft trembling of her shoulders should say how she's crying again, soft sniffles escaping her. She hasn't told a single soul about this since she arrived here. ]
If it wasn't for me... she wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself to protect me. I... I didn't deserve that kindness... she died because of me...
no subject
[... She's not Machi. She's never been Machi.]
[She's Kana. Not really, but she's too kind. Taking everything on herself and asking nothing in return, taking abuse from others with a smile. He reaches out and lifts a hand to smooth her hair down, like he should have done so many times before, like he should have done to Kana without hurting her...]
[He takes a few deep breaths, leaning down to rest his head against hers.]
I don't think... anyone can go through life without messing things up. ... I know I messed up a lot. Some mistakes are bigger than others. But if she died protecting you... she... I guess she thought you were someone worth protecting. And I... I think she was right.
no subject
He not only listened but was actually here and helping her out. Even if she did briefly still for a second, allowing those words to sink in before finally finding her voice again. ]
...Y-You do? I... I mean she... didn't have to save me... i'm just one witch a-and not even the best one out there... there's better ones who could do a lot better than me and aren't as... as stubborn and impulsive...
[ It's rare for her to actually voice these things about herself. She's normally very proud of her skills but right now she doesn't feel that way at all. ]
no subject
That's how I ended up in the contract.
[They could have gotten an army officer, but they would have hesitated at the damage to civilian life...]
no subject
Ursula saw something in her and trusted her to find all seven words of Arcturus, when she could have chosen someone like Diana. Even with her mentor gone from this world, Akko still had managed to restore magic to the world when it'd seemed impossible. ]
I... I think you're right.
[ Her voice was shaky but seeming to lose a little of it's sadness now as well. It's not hard for her to bounce back, really. ]
She... saved me because she probably saw something I can't. I... I'm impulsive and really stubborn b-but that's not entirely a bad thing. We all have flaws but we're still here and stronger than we think, even for what we went through.
no subject
Something like that, yeah.
[He gives her back a little pat, hesitantly.]
... Would making a grave for her help you feel better?
no subject
That's a good idea. I mean... [ She inhales deeply before exhaling it with a small smile in place. ] Yeah. I... think it would. It's the least I could do for her.
[ Gosh she's never made one so this's not gonna be easy but she wants to do it. ]
no subject
[He stands a little unsteadily, brushing snow off of his pants.]
Kind of wish I had that jacket...
no subject
Sounds good to me!
[ Then he mentions the coat and she blinks a couple of times almost owlishly. ]
I can give you that coat I lent you last time, if you want.
no subject
no subject
[ Gonna just flash a smile following that, nodding her head without a moment's pause. ]
no subject
I know. It's more... he had more muscles than me? So it kind of flops a little.
