Just a young gun with a quick fuse;
Who: Nyx Ulric
Where: Town, the gym, at home, etc
When: July Catch-all
What: In a single day the world changed. Let's talk about that.
Warnings: Probably too many emotions to count.
[Open]
[In a single day the world changed, and with it Nyx felt at home. What does it say about him that without an active war he'd felt stagnant? Like he was treading water;
trying to keep his head up. Now there's a target, a goal, and a not-insignificant part of him was happy.
As happy as a man can be when people have died, anyway.
After the attack all he could do was try to recover. Three days of being unable to just stop and shut down left him vulnerable, and the moment everything was over he crashed. An inoculation, two days of rest, and a return to the hospital later to have his wounds actually looked at by a professional and he was about as good as he was going to get.
The moment they announced the option to go beyond the wall, Nyx signed up for their tests. He was no use to anyone sitting safely behind the wall (a sentiment that he was more than familiar with).
Until they got their shit together, however, he had little to do but help repair what was damaged, and finally, finally, being able to talk about what he'd been holding back for months. There were a few people that deserved the truth, after all.]

It's beyond all of his experiences. Not even Niflheim had that kind of technology. And to bring back the dead?
The evidence is right in front of him, has been all along, but it didn't stop him from losing Aranea during the attack. It didn't stop the peaceful life these townsfolk lived from being torn up and thrown into hell. They didn't deserve this.
Crowe was first on his list to talk to. She'd been asking questions he couldn't answer from day one and now that he could they were burning the tip of his tongue. He needed to tell someone who will understand, who hadn't been there but was still involved in the betrayal on a very personal level. She and Raven were almost inseparable, but finally Nyx is able to catch her on her own at home.]
Got a minute?
[He gestures toward the roof; a spot of privacy in case Raven or Luna return soon.]

If ever.
But her concern for Nyx hasn't actually abated, and his trying to catch her attention did not go unnoticed. So she's absolutely ready when he asks. Mouth twitching at his direction, but it's more in approval than mockery. It's not the kind of rooftop they're used to, in Insomnia, but it's definitely better than nothing. Or than the nooks and crannies she slipped into when Nyx first found here here, in Wayward Pines. Or whatever the place's actual name is.
Anyway. ]
Absolutely. Grabbing a couple of water bottles and meeting you there.
[ In case he opts for a shortcut. ]

Nyx nods and leaves her to get the water. He climbs right up the side of the house, swinging up onto the roof. Settling down to wait, he tries to get his thoughts in check; tries to figure out where to even start. He can't just come out with 'everything we fought for was a lie', after all. Besides being ironically untrue it was a touch dramatic for him.]
