[Horst is awake after the event ends, and for the first time all week he heads outside. He hasn't had his PCD on, or if he has he didn't answer it. And in fact he's not planning to now, but the verdammt thing is in his jacket pocket.

He has Basil the stuffed rabbit under one arm, and the sock puppet held in a fist. He fills it with a few rocks, ties it off, and throws it so far the PCD wouldn't have been able to see it even if it had been angled in its direction.

The feed times out before he can be bothered to realize it's on.]

Oh, to be home, where no one ever dies, where no one is ever neglected, where no one ever forgets.

[He won't pretend he isn't being selfish. He rather hates himself for it, a fact Johannes knows him well enough to recognize, but this was Alice. The closest thing to a daughter he will ever have.]

[Johannes stares at him for a moment, eyes still narrow.]

-- do you want to play a game of chess.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

....Yes.

I'm heading home now. Should I bring you...anything?

[soulcontracts.livejournal.com]

No.

Just get home, please.

[He arrives quickly, looking just as miserable as he had on video.]

Johannes?

[And Johannes already has the chipped chess board sit up.]

It's your move.

[He moves one of the pawns.]

Did you eat?

I'll eat when I'm hungry.

[And he moves a bishop.]
