A Tragic Death for a Tragic Man [PK]

[PyroAlt 49]

Within moments of reading upon George’s death the hollow man known as James Madron shattered. Leaving nothing but a shell lacking humanity as tears rolled down his cheeks.  “First Ernest.. and now you. I’ve truly lost everything.”

[Pyrite 192]

Only days prior had Calahan O'Rourke found himself running through the city to find George to give him a hug, the news had yet to reach the six year old however the eerie silence of the county he had called home worried him as he hadn't seen George in days. . .

Iduna Anne hadn't a chance to get to know the man her cousin had decided to marry but she walked the halls of Halstaig with dispare, extenguishing every candle she came across. The tenants were quiet along with the rest of the house - an eerie silence falling over everyone within. Later that day the young woman called in her dearest friends and workers to help be fitted for a mourning dress so she'd be ready if the black garbs were requested to be donned. 

 

Elias O'Rourke found himself standing within the gardens of Halstaig alone once more, "Ich just spoke vith George t'is last Saint's day." He spoke to himself with a heavy sigh soon following, "First Marie, t'en an old friend, now somevun vhom ich 'avent gotten t' know fully." The young man's gaze drifted towards the mountains that stood tall over the outer walls, "Vho else ist goin' t' go t' t'e Seven Skies t' soon?"

"Well **** me." 

While Gus's reaction lacked tact, the shock rang true. It was only a couple of months ago that he fought along side this man, or rather he tried to fix his leg from shrapnel. Tried being the prevailing word. 

 

Gus takes a puff from his wooden pipe and wondered who'd be the next MoJ to fall. He decides to review his medicine books one more time, just in case.

Cillian O'Rourke stands over the body of his brother in law as he drapes the white sheet over his face. His gaze is dull, his face void of emotion. He leans on the wall next to the bed, producing an Oracle Cigarette and sliding it between his lips. As he lights a match and touches it to the cigarette, his eye rests on George's body. He remains silent as he just looks to the body, taking a few puffs. As both a doctor in training and a soldier, he'd become used to death. Still, looking to a member of his own family brought him to silence. The usually cheery O'Rourke would be silent this day.

"I do believe he was at Dobrov.. Shame he passed, Fairly certain he was a good fighter, No?"

The Veteran would remark to his comrade in a neutral tone.  His hands tapped his desk rhythmically, as thoughts crossed his mind as to why the man had actually killed himself. @chacmul

"The man was Dobrov indeed." He said with a sigh. "One of his shins got sliced from shrapnel. He would have trouble walking if he got treated, Roko."

Bernat felt a pang of despair amid the shock and paranoia of the Attorney-General's passing. He had witnessed the fate of the man who comforted him after he handled his first dead body, a man he could have grown to admire in the short time they were somewhat acquainted.

When Primrose Cooper heard of the the man's death, she would mournfully light a candle for the lost soul. It would be placed in the street-side window of her home on Adria Street 6, flickering away in the night. A bouquet of blue orchids was placed beside the burning candlestick, representing the blue coat she would remember him always sporting. She'd recall just seeing him a saint-day before, noticing his stoic demeanor. If only...

 

"May God bless his soul, and may his soul be guided to the Seven Skies where he can peacefully rest..." Primrose would pray quietly. The flame would be left to burn in George Hartcold-O'Rourke's memory for 3 saint-days until the wax was no more. A similar blue orchid as the one in the window would be left at the steps of Helena 2.

Silently in the mind of the newbie leaning along the wall of the building his comrades resided inside, a contemplation was in order from word of a suicide that his comrades spoke about.  Yet another death in a tally of many, the thoughts running across his mind ran like a river, and his lip quivered slightly.  A ringing in his ears from the resounding words of his father's teachings, as The Canticle of Diligence of the Scroll of Virtue yet again reminded the idle man to abandon his sloth.  And so the thoughts soon left his mind in favor of work.

Frederick had been waiting outside Helena Road 2, patiently awaiting the arrival of his cousin before the word of his suicide reached his ears. Frederick was never known to be the emotional type... But he was particularly close to George out of all his cousins. George was more like a brother to him than a cousin... So when news did reach him, the man got down to his knees and let out silent sobs of guilt. He had no idea his cousin was going through something this tragic, and wished he could've done something about it... But it was too late for such. "I am sorry.. I will help raise your kids to be good men like their father, I swear it."
