video; cw for mentions of implied suicide

[ this post is forward dated to the night of March 6. The video clicks on to Dorian, sitting on the floor of his apartment leaning up against his wall. He looks...well, absolutely awful. His eyes are rimmed red and his hair's all over the place, but he's managed to pull himself together in order to make the broadcast. ]

So, the mirages are my fault. Sorry? [ He laughs, though it's more of a tired laugh than anything actually jovial. ] I thought I could change myself, erase some actions of the past. Instead, in typical fashion, I seem to have made everything worse. [ he laughs again, though this time there's a bit of actual humor in that laugh. ] I am Dorian Gray, all my faults included, and there's nothing I can do about that.

I know how to fix it though. Don't worry if I vanish for a few days, that's part of the fixing aspect. And...I really am sorry I caused this in the first place. [ He's sorry if only because surprise, guess who's ALSO been dealing with guilt mirages for the past few days and who's been taking it really badly. Dorian looks up at someone offscreen. Before the camera clicks off, you can hear Dorian mutter ] Happy now, Toby?

( ooc: about an ic hour after this post goes up, the guilt mirages vanish, all at once. Dorian's corpsey body'll hang out in his apartment for another hour or so before getting ported out. FEEL FREE TO KEEP TAGGING THE MIRAGE LOG because trauma can always be backdated.

As a note, this will just get rid of the creepy guilt mirages, it will NOT get rid of the anachronistic mirages that are popping up throughout in-game as part of the overall March plot. great job Dorian, you solved about half of it.

[Well SOMEONE is actually legitimately concerned about all this talk from Dorian because it sounds...ominous, for lack of a better word. Will is Concered Capital C and doesn't bother to hide it.]

Why would you vanish for a few days, Dorian?

[What a flat, unimpressed stare that is! It's almost as though Will is channeling April.]

Dorian.

[He frowns.]

You're going to kill yourself.
infomodder: feelin like a freight train in need of a haircut (it's just one of those days)

[The Frown Continues. But is there any merit in debating that Dorian might not actually come back? He seems to have made up his mind already. And it seems to Will that he's certain he will come back...or he's doing a damn good job of hiding any uncertainty. How unkind would it be to prod him, to wiggle in with more doubts, when this could be the last they really speak? Finally, the frown lifts.]

Like a prettier cockroach.

[Much nicer.]

What did you do.

[ Given the choice between terror and anger? Yeah. Anger wins. ]

If they offer you a throne in their local motel, you know not to go inside. They'd be trying to Caesar you.

Which one has the exit, followed by a bear?

You look like one of Will's vampire fish tried to drain your blood out of your follicles. I'm framing this and getting a statue made out of it. Moron.
infomodder: but you'll do fine (wow buddy you are fubar)

[personal profile] infomodder 2017-03-06 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't be. Never hear that title on school reading lists. [Ha-ha-ha. But he grows more somber then, offering:] Anything I can do?

Fucking up again, eh, Dorian?

[He doesn't even sound angry. He's just an asshole and a teaser.]
