The house was too quiet. He woke up after the craziness of the past two weeks wanting to reconnect with his sister, but when he'd gone looking the house was too quiet. There was the chicken still, sure, but otherwise the usual sounds were missing. Beat had never been a very observant person, but it was hard to miss silence. He searched the house room by room, went to All Passions, checked the school, then came back to the house and stared at the vacant room. There were drawings, a letter, a personal item or two and a familiar necklace.

It only meant one thing.

After he finished screaming and punching holes in walls that would inevitably fix themselves, Beat found himself sitting in the middle of a trashed living room, looking at raw knuckles and realized other people needed to know. Someone had to remember her in case he ever disappeared.

Someone had to know she existed.

Rhyme's gone.

...She-- She's gone.

All Passions's closed 'til...I dunno. Sometime.

Rainbow kid, it's jus' you an' me now.

... [He tightens bruised fists around a bell charm and it rings dully.]

Beat out.

Beat... [She paused. Just sitting there after hearing that didn't feel right at all, even after everything that happened during the last shift. That left only one thing. After making sure it was private so no one would hear her saying something nice]

Where are you? I'm going over there right now.

[Written]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

I'm sorry.

[A pause.]

I'll bring some food over. What do you want?

[ ... oh. Well then.

Joshua is quiet for a few minutes after he hears the news, but finally gives a small sigh and responds. ]

Not that I particularly expect it, but if you want to talk [ and actually talk, no punching, he is not in the mood ] I'm available.

[ And he doesn't expect it. But at the same time, he doesn't like the way his Players are slowly disappearing on him. It's just another reminder that he's really not supposed to be here, and for all that he pretends to be alright with it and forges ahead in his usual ways anyway, being here upsets him on a fundamental level.

He does want them to go back to their lives. But he wants to go back, as well. ]

[It's a nun's duty to help out those who are in need, and Beat certainly sounds as though he's in need right now. Even if things might have been a little strange during their last meeting, she wants to do her best to help him.]

While I might not have known her, she sounds as though she must have been a wonderful person. [What else could she be to put someone in this sort of state.] If there's anything I can do for you then I would be happy to help.
