open || come stop your crying it'll be alright
Characters: Cinna and EVERYONE
Date: December 16 and later
Location: EA-2A (or elsewhere if necessary)
Situation: Cinna extends an invitation to the Foreigners in the wake of Eshai's death.
Warnings/Rating: E for everyone. I'll attach warnings as (if) they show up.
The first few moments when he woke were usually the calmest. He didn't suffer nightmares, and in his dreams he forgot the memories that haunted him when he was awake. Sleep was empty for Cinna, an escape from all the fear and anxiety of the day. And for the most part, he was able to hold onto that peace until he woke up. Until he remembered to be afraid.
This morning, though, he woke to an unfamiliar, heavy sadness. It wasn't his own, but that didn't make it any less crushing. Even when it subsided, the memory lingered, until the announcement over the network of Eshai's death. Cinna sat before his console, looking as calm as ever. The feeling of security that had replaced the despair was something he'd personally needed, and it made it easier to sit in front of people and talk.
"After the satellite crashed, and things got chaotic --" that was the politic description -- "I set up a shelter for everyone fighting or fleeing the spectres. I know this isn't the same, but it's still a lot to process, for all of us. If anyone wants to talk, or just not to be alone, you're welcome to come by my suite in the Earth sector."
He couldn't quite motivate himself to leave his home, even with Asti buffering him. But the offer was sincere. He couldn't fight, but maybe he could offer some comfort. Now, it was just a matter of seeing if anyone took him up on the offer.
