The Funeral of Edema Rue('s Being on the Shard)

[Through the Living Hope]

"A month ago was the last visit of a legend," Spark said. "We loved her, and she loved us. Eddie wasn't a nerd, but she took the place of one in our hearts. She loved theatre and roleplaying, music and Sanderson. She had a love-hate relationship with biking, wrote amazing short stories, debated, and played violin.

"She was overwhelmed with her schoolwork, unfortunately, and she had to leave us. Perhaps, someday, she will return, but for now, she is gone. Until we know, we will miss her."

Spark paused. "Would anyone like to approach the podium to say anything else?"

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Haly slips in quietly, tears streaming down her cheeks. "No fair," she whispered. "I never knew her... as Edema Rue, at least. I miss her."

The better Spirit is unable to do this because he never knew Rue.

[Vyzkel He/Him]

Vyz stands in the back of the room, clad in suit and tie. Though he hasn’t interacted with her as much as others, he still laments the loss.

Seniority = superiority

 which means Eddie was better than either of us.

[PianoSavant she/her]

Piano (the person) stands awkwardly in the back of the room, having no idea what to do or say, then decides to begin playing piano (the instrument) so the awkward silence can be a little less awkward. Or at least a little less silent. If there happens to be awkward silence. Um.

[Mags she/they]

Jm goes up to the podium and adjusts the mike before speaking.

"this just in--"

(Message from Eddie, sent by Email. I was going to just paste in a screenshot of what she said, but the site is having trouble with people uploading images rn. I told her about this thread, and this was her response lol:)

Oh my scudding c h a s m s Hope is amazing, tell her I miss herrrrrrr

And someone better blow up my funeral and cause an epic quest of vengeance in my name (my real one and that one) 

I cackled so hard at that—I love the shard you guys are my favorite—
