Comments

week 0, monday, park

[damp]

[ Rin is checking out the basketball courts when he notices Setsu. And because Setsu is nice and pleasant to be around, he waves. ]

Hey. Looks like some new places showed up.

[propense]

[ Setsu smiles with a wave of their own. ] Hello Rin, it's good to see you again.

[ they look towards the basketball court after with some curiosity. ]

I wonder why they're showing up now...? [ they'll take a basketball in their hands, lifting one up. ] ..Oh, it's lighter than the bowling ball.

[ what is basketball ]

[damp]

Huh? Of course it is.

[ looks at them for a moment. ]

You've never seen a basketball?

WEEK 0, FRIDAY.

[propense]

Are you alright, Rin?

[damp]

yeah i'm okay [ physically. emotionally? not so much. ]

are you?

[propense]

Gyuhyuk Lee and I nearly had a run-in with a train, but we're alright otherwise.

[ anyways, ] Do you have company with you?

week 0, sunday 2

[damp]

[ as soon as he sees them he will zoom ]

Hey!!

[propense]

[ they jump a little, because wait hold up ]

You really came?

[damp]

[ he doesn't even say hello, setsu is going to feel a sudden whirlwind of water rushing around her as rin activates his healing

which should fix up her arm ]

Isn't that what I said?

WEEK 1, MONDAY.

[propense]

[ here we are at.. the outer park! Setsu offers a small wave in greeting when they catch sight of him, coming on over. ]

Taking a look around, Rin?

[ though, from the line of food carts nearby, a shadow person is waving for attention. COME, COME. COME TRY OUR FOOD WARES. ]

[damp]

[ He's in good spirits today! Yesterday didn't happen! ]

Yeah, this park is huge. [ Happy. ] It's really nice, isn't it?

[propense]

[ i'm happy for him. ]

It is pretty nice. [ they agree, it's nice to have new places to see. and now a bit excitedly. ] I saw fish at the canals too, so maybe some fishing can happen this week.

week 1, thursday

[damp]

[ Hello, where is Setsu. Are they resting. Did they get healed. ]

[propense]

[ old man fuku has maxed healed them! they're probably lingering outside the warehouse district since they don't want to move too much. and obv normal age again. but they also have makeshift bandages wrapped around to cover the area where their right eye should be... neat! ]

..Ah, Rin. [ they definitely seem a bit more skittish since they've returned. but there's recognition when they see him, so that's one thing? ] Sorry.. about earlier. My mind was still...

[ yknow. in the state of an eight-year-old, but not anymore at least? ]

[damp]

You don't have to apologize. [ hello! ] I'm sorry I couldn't help.

[ he's pretty jarred by the thought that they lost an eye, but he tries not to be too antsy. ]

Did you eat anything? Are you going to lay down?

week 5, sunday

[damp]

[ Later, Rin will chill with Setsu at the hotel. ]

This is where we've all been staying. [ ... ] Did you guys ever get a bed?

[propense]

[ ...there's some amusement at that. he's still thinking about it? ]

We had two beds, yes. A trundle bed and one of those gothic beds. So, we still ended up sharing but.

[ they didn't mind it? though, they look a bit wistful now. ]

[damp]

[ look no one updates him on mundane details like this

anyway, he's not as scandalized by it this time ]

You can probably move into Buzen and Matsui's room, in that case. There's about seven people in there. [ ... ] It's probably a poor replacement for your team.

week 6, monday

[damp]

[ Let's go to the pet shop! Rin and Setsu can just be wandering.

Rin is still like, I can't believe everyone knows Hoshino got rejected... ]

[propense]

[ HELP. a bit exasperated ]

Rin.

[damp]

—Sorry! I won't bring it up.

[ stop thinking about it stop thinking about it wait-- ]

So... [ how do you even bring this up? ] What did you mean, earlier?

WEEK 6, THURSDAY

[propense]

[ me being told that nahida would have LEFT THEIR SHARED ROOM AFTER CYOA AND I'M SO SAD. which is to say that Setsu is kinda pacing a little in the room aaaaa. ]

...Nahida wishes to be alone for tonight. Which I cannot blame her but. [ The fact they went to something based on my own universe... ] And the fact it happened to Gerard as well.

[ there is so much guilt here. ] I'm sorry, Rin.

[damp]

[ Rin is looking a little... bummed, idk how else to describe it. He's not quite stricken, just a little tired. Weary of the horrors.

But when they speak, he looks surprised. ]

What are you apologizing to me for?

week 7, wednesday

[damp]

[ he has stomped off... and is getting a drink from a vending machine.

nods curtly at setsu when he sees them. ]

[propense]

[ baby boy... they come by beside him, quiet for a moment before they offer up their paw to him. ] What do you need right now?

[ something to distract yourself, talk, some space... whatever it is, they'll do their best to provide it. ]
