Waiting for your death in the rain
Who: The Disciple, Donatello
When: Backdated to late sixth week
Where: Floor Five
What: Disciple gets cold burns from nitrogen rain and walks into a murder
Warnings/Notes Death, burns, etc.
The museum isn't really cold but fire an irresistible lure after all this dimness and dark. The rocks are stolen from one exhibit, the grass and wood stolen from another and she's holed up behind some tables and chairs in a corner. Carefully, she coaxes up a spark, a light, her hands warming with that soft glow. Warmth. Real warmth. She'd forgotten it after these months, so much dim light and howling wind. It makes the arena seem that much colder with her palms by the flame.
It makes the abrupt shock of freezing cold rain that much worse. No it's not cold, though it is, it burns. Her skin feels like it's on fire, burning burning and there's nowhere to go. She stumbles over the chairs and tables and her clothes are sticking to her skin, pulling with every movement. It's agonizing, each step, as her pajamas slowly stick--freeze, she realizes. Like snow to her scarf or ice to the fur on her jacket when she fell on the lake, it's sticking and her skin is there beneath, freezing too.
It's only an alcove that saves her, just out of the reach of the dangerous rain. Her body aches, cold cold, and she's afraid to look at her fingers. They feel ...like nothing. Nothing at all. Her breath comes faster, harsher, as the rain finally stops and she can get a better look at herself. Hair broken off in chunks. Bright white burns on her skin that hurt to look at, hurt to think about, because they've stopped hurting at all. But when she moves, when her skin pulls at cloth, she wants to scream. A whimper is all she allows herself, breath coming heavy as she reconciles all of this.
She'll die like this. Hardly able to move or defend herself without screaming agony.
And it's so convenient that the next thing she hears is footsteps.

There was no way he could really give her any comfort, otherwise. His hands came back up, but he thought better of it. Snapping her neck, while it would be quick, would risk him being burned as well. So he had to go a different route.
"Ok." He brought out a knife. "This will hurt, but it will be quick. Just...breathe out for me. All right?"

"It's okay. This is how I died last time. I remember."
Another deep breath, a nod, and she lets it out. Her eyes close, if she can't see it coming, she's less likely to reach out to stop it.

Her hands lose their grip on the wall and she slumps, falling, dying, painted green. There's not much time to think between the fall and her death, seconds perhaps, but it feels like a lifetime before her life fades and everything goes dark.

It had to be done, after all.
