weekend 0, saturday, relaxation area

[damp]

[ Hello! He's sitting in one of the massage chairs looking thoughtful. The chair isn't on, he's just sitting there like Sad Keanu. ]

Hey. [ But will greet Vi like a polite boy. ] At least we're not in the basement anymore?

[doublefists]

[ not the sad keanu

she will wander over to him and flop down. she has a bottle of something alcoholic. ]

Small victories. [ takes a swig. ] You doing okay with all this?

[ like, no. but. she can't help but ask. ]

[damp]

[ Good for her. Drink those feelings away. ]

Not really. I'm mostly just tired at the thought of going through it all again. [ SIGHS! And slumps back into the chair. ] Everyone probably feels like that, though...

[doublefists]

[ yea!!!

she pauses, and puts the bottle down, for now. if his foot is in range, she nudges it with her own. ]

Just because everybody feels like that doesn't mean you can't. [ ... ] I get it, though. Mine was only two weeks. Can't imagine what eight weeks was like.

week 0, monday, gate area

[damp]

[ Hello! He's staring out into the void looking puzzled. ]

I don't get why this is just black, when out on the flight deck it looks like a normal airport.

[doublefists]

That's probably what it actually looks like out there and the deck is just fake.

[ i have not retconned booze now so vi is drinking before noon ]

[damp]

They could put a nice fake view here too.

[ he probably thinks it's juice

unless he can smell the alcohol ]

[doublefists]

[ he might be able to, she's not hiding it. ]

Right? But why be nice. [ stretches absently. ] They barely give a shit about us, we're animals in a pen.

week 1, monday, tree of nascent (scawwy)

[damp]

[ Looking up at the giant tree... and then over at the city. ]

This all feels like a video game.

[doublefists]

Yeah?

[ looks out over it too, and - it's not affection week anymore but she doesn't need that. she rests a hand on his back to make sure they don't trip on anything weird out here. ]

Sort of reminds me of home, actually. A specific part.

[damp]

[ this big sis behaviour... glances at her ]

Which part?

[doublefists]

[ she cannot help herself with this it's instinct ]

I live in a city that's mostly underground. It's - stacked, right? So there's layers of it. We don't see a lot of sun, but there's this one bit where there's a huge tree growing out of the sludge. It's just like that one. Super pretty.

week 1, thursday

[damp]

[ Is she at the first aid centre? Is she still a child?? ]

[doublefists]

[ SHE'S NOT A CHILD NO

imagine i left her as twelve the entire game. no she's fine. she's an adult again! she had a bunch of bullet wounds in her back, slash wounds across her arms and back, and a nasty bite wound on her forearm, but those are healed to the point that she won't die. they're still pretty gross, though.

she's at the first aid center in one of the beds, and she's got her fingers under a hair tie around her wrist. she pulls it back. and then lets it snap against her wrist, once, twice. a third time. ]

[damp]

[ Oh, Vi... Just watches for a moment. ]

Vi? Hey.

[doublefists]

[ she startles - glances up at him. a beat. ]

Oh - Rin. [ at least she recognizes him. ] Hey.

... I'm okay.

week 6, monday

[damp]

[ WELL

COLLAPSES SOMEWHERE WITH A DRINK I GUESS ]

So... how're you feeling? Being back here?

[doublefists]

[ FLOPS DOWN WITH HIM she's sprawling and probably half leaning on him if he'll let her. ]

Way, way better. [ nice to feel alive again. ] You guys kept sending us such stabby and insane people, man.

[ teasing!! ]

[damp]

[ She can! And help. ]

There was Manwol too.

w6, FRIDAY

[doublefists]

[ she is... sitting, somewhere. it looks like she tried to get up and go somewhere and then had to take a break because her leg is still SUPER broken.

she's just sort of staring down at her phone, rubbing at her neck. the thoughtshare is just scribbles. ]

[damp]

[ Wanders over... Hello.

Just sits for a moment before speaking up. ]

Something interesting on your phone?

[doublefists]

[ reaches over to companionably push his dumb emo hair out of his face, and then shows him the pictures she took on her phone.

one and two.

she's also sad about the people who died today, but also as someone who has been dead for so long she's not all that worried about them. good luck to them, enjoy being harassed by the others. ]

w7, MONDAY

[doublefists]

[ GOOD AFTERNOON do you want memshare... do you want alternate universe vi... what shall we do

either way, strohl jr is running at you at top speeds. tackles you. ]

[damp]

[ HI STROHL JR

And sure have this stupid memory. I don't know why the subtitles randomly stop at the end, but basically Rin is saying that it's hard to ask Gou if she's dating anyone, and she's not a child anymore so he can't really say anything anyway. ]

[doublefists]

[ this is so funny you gave this one to shenhe too

when she comes out of it, she sort of... half smiles, hands in her pockets as strohl jr climbs rin to lick his face. how is he doing this with hooves. magic. ]

-- Well, that's the least horrible one out of all of these I've seen, I think.
