014 ☺ Video ☺ Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?

[The feed is dark, silent and empty until a hand strikes a match; the communicator is propped up to focus on three unlit votive candles on the chapel altar, Mark's voice narrating from offscreen.]

We've all been through some horrible things lately, things I'm sure we'd rather forget. But there are some things in Silent Hill that are worth remembering.

Zev Bellringer deserves to be remembered. [He touches the match to the wick of the first candle.] Dr. King Schultz deserves to be remembered. [He lights the second candle, blowing out the match after he does.] They were both our crewmates, fellow passengers who touched us, inmate and warden alike. Not all of us were close to them, but none of us are unaffected by their absence.

Everyone in Silent Hill deserves to be remembered, especially those we had to leave behind. [He lights the third candle off the second and places them in their neat, sturdy little row.]

Where I come from it's customary to honor those we've lost with a moment of silence and reflection. Please join me, if you'd like to.

[The feed records nothing but the three little candles burning in the darkness and silence for a full minute before cutting off.]

[OOC: Someone tell him about Kael'thas]

[Is that.. Is that an altar? Candles on an altar? What the...]

What kind of superstitious nonsense is this? Stop it! She doesn't deserve having her memory sullied this way.

[Anya shows up a little while later, her hands still bandaged, a small bottle of LiCl salt abrasive from maintenance tucked in her pocket.]

Hey, Mark. This is...nice.

[ After a couple of days, a visit from Merlin, some bonding with Chris... Megamind's pretty ready to leave his room come Friday. ]

[ This was a damn good reason to get him come out of it, too. He padded up, had a brief stop off by Edward Nygma's door (Still there, showing the correct door and lock... but still no answer from the man) and then head up to the chapel proper, where he limped a little down the aisle toward the altar. ]

You didn't know Zev, did you?

[ Gentle, but still. ]

She had-- a thing... about faith. Religion used for hateful purposes. But she wouldn't have been offended at a single light in the dark, as it were. At least, I don't think so.

[ He knew her, and very well, and standing here looking at little flickering candles hurts his heart a little more. He's still only getting to the anger phase of grieving now; shock and denial has been worked through, and now he's just... unhappy. ]

[ She deserved better than that place. But he doesn't know how to articulate any of that right now, so just stands there, hands clasped behind his back, uncertain. ]

[ He wonders if Chris has lit any candles for Frank D'amcio, and squashes that thought hard. ]

i am v sorry for lateness

Prince Kael'thas. Do you ...have another candle?
