Call of the City

[Spam for Jedao]

He knocks on Jedao's door, jaw set, hands deep in his pockets. This is the hardest one, so he's doing it first.

[Spam for Credence]

He sends Credence a message first, asking for a talk-- but he wants to see that phoenix one more time.

[Spam for Hilda]

He shows up at Hilda's door with pierogi on a wrapped plate.

[Video, OTA]

[Once more, Ray is sitting on his threadbare but comfortable couch, the fake late afternoon light making his hair look golden instead of bleached blond. He looks sad, but determined.]

I came here a year ago. Feels like no time at all, and like fucking forever. I guess I was asleep for the breach, but it still feels like a long fuckin' time. I've made-- I've done some good stuff. I got my deal, and a woman who never shoulda been in prison in the first place now gets to live her life.

I made a lot of good friends. I've seen amazing things. I've-- [He swallows away a lump and runs a hand over his face, messes up his hair with both hands.]

I thought I was gonna stick around, now that Fraser's gone, but I can't. I gotta go back home, get back to my life there. So I'm gonna-- gonna go back tomorrow. Maybe I'll be back again someday, who knows. But I'm not gonna be someone else who disappears without a word.

Anyone want anything from my cabin, come here at any time. I got a drink waiting for you, too.

Most of you. [He says the last part with a rakish grin, and he thumbs the side of his nose before nodding and signing off. Come say goodbye.]

[Maybe a minute after Ray ended his video, Marty's knocking on his door.]

He's only two doors or so away.

"Yeah. Something like that." He shifts on his feet, feeling awkward. "I'm gonna miss you."

Credence comes to the door a few moments later, looking a bit tired and disoriented - he was out for the breach, too. Immediately his cats poke their heads across the threshold, meowing at Ray. Pet them.

"...Ray." He steps back. "Come in."

Credence shuts the door behind them; Rune croons softly from his perch.

"...Klaus has disappeared," he says quietly. "So I...I'm going to go home soon."

Hilda appears at the door with a blink, and steps back to let him in.

"Hello, petal. You've brought treats! Thank you."

Jedao's door is actually Quentin's door, these days, but Ray is lucky enough that it's Jedao who opens the door. He takes one look at Ray's determined expression, the set of his shoulders, and sighs.

"At least come in and have coffee before you give me the bad news."
