GRAVEYARD

[foundationmods]

[On the instant of your death, you're suddenly outside of your body - probably staring down at the remains it's become.

Yet, you're not alone. For all of you (except Szayel), a young man appears from behind you, his face set into a firm, yet sad, scowl. His shaggy strawberry blonde hair is pretty eye-catching, along with the black and white Shihakusho he wears and the large sword on his back, even as he gently tries to lead you back into the lobby and away from what was once your body. You can still clearly hear and see the living, if you want to try - but they can't see or hear you.

'Welcome to the world of the dead in this Resort,' he says, quietly. 'Looks like you're stuck here with the rest of us.'

He hands you a tablet, just like the one you had before. "You'll need this if you want to keep talking to them,' he explains, looking sad.

It looks like you've passed on, and yet...You still feel like you have a role to play in all of this.]

(As if I would ever-)

[Aaaand Medic slowly pushes Spy's head back into his body with one hand.]

I will talk with you later.

... So. You've, ah, put up with every other odd and concerning thing about me. Is this one... too much?

[It's much harder to hide the fact that you're nervous when you're no longer invisible to the man you're talking to.]

[imstuck]

[Phil sighs and takes a moment to process this, before speaking.]

Medic, if I would dump you over being weird I'm pretty sure I would have done so the moment you told me you sold your soul.

[He smiles.]

If nothing else it makes my life seem downright normal.

[blutsauger]

... Well, yes, but this is a more- concrete form of weirdness, I suppose. A physical representation of my selling my soul and replacing it. I still don't really understand how you're able to- look past that.

I can understand it for other mercenaries, my teammates know that I sometimes do things that are questionable even to me for the greater good, but you're still a civilian, and I've told you, I'm not used to civilians being able to handle my- myself. Let alone something like this, which surpasses even my sense of normalcy-

Though I do admit I wish i could study this phenomenon more closely without being dead, perhaps in a living patient? But such a thing would be difficult, if not impossible, to set up.

The fact that they're all my teammates- and my ticket out of hell- makes me reluctant to try any removal strategies, as well...

[Hey Phil? He's gonna keep rambling like this for a loooong time if you don't stop him. If you thought the sticky notes and long-winded typo filled tablet messages were bad...]

[imstuck]

[Yeah okay, he's not going to stop, is he? Well Phil only knows of One Way to stop this.

He plants a kiss on Medic's lips, lingering for a few moments before parting with a smirk.]

God, Medic, it's almost like you're trying to find ways to get me to hate you.

[blutsauger]

[The kiss cuts him off mid-sentence and manages to disorient him for a few moments, blinking in surprise at Phil afterwards. A crooked grin appears on his face as he tilts his head, bemused.]

Not exactly. More like... trying to caution you of what exactly you're getting into, ja? Because- this isn't something casual, is it? Not really. I don't think it has been for a while, or that it ever was.

[And that stuns Phil in turn for a few moments.]

Right, I guess this is far from a casual relationship, huh?

[His smile softens, as he grabs Medic's hand with one of his own hands while running his other hand through his hair.]

I know we've been serious for awhile, but it hasn't hit me until now just how serious this is.

Even before the loop, I had resigned to the idea that it would only be one night stands from now on.

[blutsauger]

[Medic squeezes the offered hand- and its good to feel Phil take his hand first, to not have him fumble and blindly grab for it- and cups Phil's face with his other hand, his thumb brushing gently against his cheek.] Not anymore. Not ever again. If you wind up in groundhog hell again, I'm springing you out myself. So no more one-night stands for you- I mean, unless you want them? I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not exactly monogamous myself. [You know, considering the fact that they're both dating Snake and Bennings. And Medic also has two of his boyfriends' souls surgically attached to him easy to miss, though, really]
