Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

The Coupris 40 funeral is a modest affair. Just two RCM officer and a Net Picker at a shore looking at almost completely sunken hunk of metal, with barely visible shades of blue, covered by a thick rust. Two of the local drunks, are standing nearby looking, respectfully, from a distance. One of them, the one in a colorful dirty tracksuit has greeted them, exclaiming happily:

“Hey, Tequila!”

The response he gets is: “Nah, I’m going by ‘Harry’ these days.”

Sad FM, flows quietly from a boombox, a simple white candle is burning, it’s flame tugged by the wind. Nobody quite knows how to act in face of such an occasion. Lilienne, not hiding a hint of amusement in her voice asks.

“A few words, officer?”

“Ok, lets keep is short.” Harry shifts his position to address (not quite) the crowd. “Down with the old, on with the new.” He turns back to face the wreck. “I’m sorry buddy. I can't fix this, but I can try to do better in the future.”

At that moment Kim is certain that this funeral is not for the old motor carriage, at least, not entirely. They just buried a person that Harrier Du Bois used to be.

Notes:

So it is finished. My first Fanfic. hope It brought you some entertainment.

I think I will continue, with the same franchise for now. I have some ideas. Disco Elysium is an incredible, inspiring game. It was nice to write after long years, of not doing it at all in any creative capacity. Trying to get better. Helps with the dyslexia.

Not to be sappy, or anything but I needed it to be ultimately positive. I had to Help someone like Harry, because I feel i can't do it in real life.

Thank You for kudos and kind comments. People here are very nice.

Notes:

I Haven't done any creative writing in years. All i can do is hope it managed to be enjoyable to someone.
I'm new at this and also dyslectic as hell, so please be patient. I'll try to correct any mistakes.
I also wrote it to help me deal with and explore my thoughts on the subject of alcohol addiction.
While writing I was thinking about my friend, that I think would enjoy reading something more platonic from Disco Elysium's world.
Hope she doesn't hate it!
Update: She says, she likes it! Yey!
