*Mortar was sealed in a vaccum sealed glass box for all to see. Except he wasn't doing anything dangerous inside the box, seeing how long he could last without oxygen. No. This was his casket, being viewed to everyone before he was dropped into the lake. It was a sad time, Cyan had tears in her eyes, Crossbow comforting her, Wit and Mion making sure that there are enough chairs and everything is perfect. They had a right to, to them it was as if they lost a family member, Cyan in a literal sense.*
Wit: Let's see... 24 chairs. You think that will be enough?
Mion: I think so, many people were kicked out.
Wit: True... I'm going to get a few more just to be safe.
*Wit walks off, you can tell that he's upset by the way he's walking. Mion just sits in a chair and falls asleep*
Crossbow: It's okay Cyan, he is in a better place.
Cyan: You KNOW that is not true, YOU were in that place before Mortar brought you back.
Crossbow: yes, I know, however it may be better for him because he has a higher rank?
Cyan: it doesn't matter if you were a peasant or the goddamn king of the universe, they treat everyone the same.

"Perhaps..." [b]Sniffle [/b] "Who should tell him?"
-
*Cyan's eyes tear up a bit* I'm Mortar's sister, I'll do it.
-
[b]Sniffle [/b] "Fair enough."
-
Yes... Would you, um, like to say goodbye before we place him in the lake?
-
[b]Sniffle[/b] "Of course." [b]Sniffle [/b]
-
Okay. *Sniffle* Follow me. *Cyan walks over to Mortar's box. He doesn't appear in pain, nor slightly tired and stressed like he usually is. He looks... peaceful*
-
[b]Nora places a hand on the box and a tear rolls down her cheek [/b] "I don't know what to say. Besides that he was a great man. He was friendly and kind. He understood people and... And." [b]She breaks into tears [/b]
-
*Cyan sits next to Nora* It's okay, Nora. Take all the time you need.
-
[b]She stays silent [/b] "He brought me into this world. I should have helped."
-
You couldn't have prevented it. It's not your fault. it's no one's fault.
-
"Roy was here you know. Helped me fight Stein."
-
Yeah, I heard. He tried to prevent Gore from fighting Smough. He's a good man, with pure intentions.
-
[b]She sniffles again [/b] "I just can't believe -"
-
Yeah... no one saw this coming
-
"I don't think I can stay here any longer.." [b]She turns, as if to walk away [/b]
-
Fair...
-
"When is he going in?"
-
Soon, we're just waiting for everyone to come, then we'll have a few speeches, and he'll be placed in the lake. *Cyan looks around at the people already at the funeral* Just waiting on a few people.
-
"I see..."
-
Of course, now we simply wait a few more minutes
-
"I'll sit down"
-
*Cyan nods as Wit walks up to the podium* Cyan: I think Wit's about to talk
-
[b]Nora takes a seat [/b]
-
*Wit taps on the microphone and clears his throat* Hello fellow Dojo members, good to see that almost everyone that knew Mortar is here. Let's see... what can I say about him? Well, I was his first human friend, we were both downtrodden, him because of his demonic origin and me because I was the weird kid. He stood up for me whenever we were bullied, and I never forgot, and always wanted to repay his debt. Unfortunately, I won't be able to...
