[open] The children yearn for the mines
WHO: Leo and YOU
WHERE: inside the mines, and outside the maze doors
WHAT: pre-event open post
WHEN: after everyone is forced into the mines through the forward team entering the maze
WARNINGS: none atm
A: Before the Wanderkin comes
Leo is a cool guy. A cool guy who knows what he's doing and has things under control. Or that's what he'd like to believe, but even he isn't that good of a liar.
Right now he isn't feeling very cool, and nothing has felt under his control for months. It's not really a surprise that the current situation is following trends. When he'd come back from trying to find them food and water just for Donnie to be missing, he'd about had a heart attack.
Turns out his brother was infected. Turns out he was hurt, and sick, and Leo's so dumb he didn't notice. Donnie said he was okay and Leo didn't look into it any further. And now...
He's going to be okay. But Leo can't help but be on edge.
He's sitting against a wall, legs pulled up against his chest and arms curled around them. It's times like this that he wishes he could go into his shell as easily as Mikey, that he had a box hinge that would cover over and block the rest of the world out. But Leo is not lucky in anything, so he doesn't even have that.
At least he has the leather jacket, protecting him against the chill in this part of the mines. (It's Tony's jacket, actually, but he doesn't know that.) He plans to give it back to Donnie, though, as soon as Donnie is back up and on his feet. He's sick, so he needs it more. Leo can deal.
But for now, he sits tight against the wall and stews in his bad thoughts and tries not to be too much of a tripping hazard. Though, in the dark it's a bit hard to see him...
B: Break Time! (on the way to the Warrens)
Walking for a few hours nonstop is not difficult for Leo, with his young legs and his mutant biology. He's been much more worried about Donnie, who was so recently injured on his leg, so for most of the walk he's been hovering by his brother, ready to support if needed.
Now they're taking a break.
Leo wasn't here for the last time they did this, which means he doesn't know that last time there was a snack offered at this point in the journey. Which is probably for the best, because he's actually... really hungry, right now. Turns out sulking instead of eating for the last thirty or so hours was a bad decision! Put another one on the board for Leon.
He's standing a little off from the main group, one foot kicked up against the mine wall, arms folded over his chest. He looks like a classic scowling teenager, mad at the world, but he really just doesn't want anyone to hear his stomach growling. That's so embarrassing...
C: The Warrens (after the forward team has gone in)
So this is what's down here: a dead end. or maybe a not so dead end, since a group of people have gone through some kind of door that locked behind them (spooky!). Leo isn't too worried about that group, except Cayde. He hopes the cool robot guy is safe in there...
But until something on the surface changes or until those guys find something interesting, it seems the rest of them are stuck here. Wow, so fun and exciting. And if he sounded sarcastic there, that's because he is. How long are they going to have to wait before they get any news?
Man, Leo doesn't even have his phone or his comic books. What a drag.
Leo has settled down with the rest of the group to wait, but he can't help but grumble discontentedly under his breath. When someone looks his way, he shrugs.
"I don't guess anyone brought any cards, huh?"

no subject
"How are you?" It's an honest question; he knows Leo must be worried about his brother.
no subject
It's probably obvious that's not true, but Leo doesn't really want to talk about it with a near stranger. Sephiroth helped his brother, and went with him to see Mikey(?), but they aren't actually close.
"Thanks for, uh... taking my brother to Tae," he says, scratching his nose awkwardly.
no subject
He nods. "I was concerned when I saw him. I tried to find you afterwards to tell you what happened." And to make sure Leo was alright.
no subject
"Yeah, sorry. I was trying to find us some dinner, and... then I kinda freaked out when he wasn't where I left him."
He never ended up eating dinner, but he doesn't really care about that right now.
no subject
"Did you find dinner?"
no subject
Since clearly Leo wasn't going to do it.
He shrugs at the question. "Yeah."
It's technically true. He found it. He just didn't eat it.
no subject
The answer is very vague, but he has no reason to believe Leo didn't eat it. "That Radley person seems to have food supplies on hand," he says, mostly to suggest that's someone Leo could try if that isn't who he went to.
no subject
He will not, but Leo knows what people like to hear.
no subject
Sephiroth pauses. "Have you seen Stu and his friend ... Billy Loomis, is it? I was looking for them as well. They apparently got into trouble."
no subject
"Tch. Those guys?" Leo shrugs. "Nope."
And he doesn't feel too bad about it. He's sure they're around here somewhere.
no subject
no subject
"Thanks," he says. "And, uh... good luck, I guess."
no subject
He nods. "Thank you."
He moves to head off, utterly exhausted but still trying to accomplish all that he feels has to be done first.
