02 - week two

[afflictionmods]

WEEK TWO

When the glitter settles and everyone returns to their dorms - or wherever they intend to sleep for the night, if you’re planning on sleeping at all - your first week of school officially ends. Perhaps it was better than you expected, perhaps it was worse.

Hopefully you learned a bit more about teamwork and school spirit.

Still, this course is going to run for longer than a full week, and come Sunday morning you’re still exactly as you were when you settled down for the night. Still in Estelline, still with that mark on your wrist, still connected to your partner. There are some changes, though. The bookstore has received quite a few books, and those of you who added to the bulletin board and pep rally tasks in the first week will find an envelope taped to their dorm door (or themselves, if they spent the night elsewhere). Inside of the envelope is some kind of voucher! Furthermore, the common area is covered in a bunch of glitter.

Also, there are a ton of eggs in the kitchen – at least 10 dozens.

Florence or Lorelei are still available, should you wish to speak to them.

Finally, you've got some new locations to explore.

[ Luci lets loose a string of heh heh heh upon eggy impact. He got that all on video, yes he did. ]

Yeah, man, you asked for it. [ almost unable to contain his laughs as he takes more photos. ] You should see your face!

[ For the record... I never care if he wins but Luci will cheat, lie, and steal to avoid it. Sorry about that, skullcrusher. ]

[vivens]

[ laugh it up little demon man while you have the higher ground and sabo isn't going to shy away from the photos. he still has his pride even if his face is covered in egg.

and no problem! sabo can play dirty too, but he's still a fairly stand-up kind of person. ]

How long do you plan to stay up there?

[totalcatastrophe]

Why? You planning to make me lunch?

[ Oh, he will enjoy this upper ground while he's got it. But he isn't scared even if maybe he should be. Sabo seems fun. ]

[vivens]

Sure, I could make something. I'm not too bad at making rice omelettes.

[ it's okay, he doesn't have to be afraid of sabo for it to matter. they're just here to have some nice casual banter. ]

[totalcatastrophe]

I'll take it. Keep the shells in it.

[ Luci sounds more like he's ordering at a restaurant now. One of these times, he might actually make himself sick with those shells, but for now the crunch is nice and it bothers everyone else. Win/win.

He still hasn't answered the question. ]

[vivens]

Unconventional request, but not something I can't comply with.

[ unflappable as ever. luci might not have answered sabo's question but as far as sabo is concerned, as soon as food has been made someone is going to have to move closer one way or another. ]

You'll have to come down when I finish making it.

[totalcatastrophe]

You don't say?

[ ... Does he though?
As he says it dryly, he idly holds up another egg. ]

Need more eggs?

[vivens]

The recipe calls for two eggs, so if you have a few to spare.

[ he sure does say. ]

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Toss, toss, one egg after another. He sure does start tossing them on the heels of that last word. ]

[vivens]

[ okay, well.

again, sabo can't get angry with things that he has asked for. but this time he's ready and so when the eggs come flying at him he'll be poised to catch them. now, whether or not they actually survive is another story.

the first egg he catches with ease and manages to store it into his coat just in time to catch the second egg. or. well. ""catch"" the egg (because dice bot will always favor sabo failing a second roll APPARENTLY)...... which really means he'll completely crush the egg with his hand with a fair amount of the eggy bits splattering on his face.

yet, even if there's (even more) egg on his face, sabo will just continue to be cool about it. it's just egg on his face or something iguess. ]

Looks like I'm still needing another egg.

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Luci Ha's at that crushed egg, already tossing another one before Sabo finishes his sentence. ]

[vivens]

[ BECAUSE DICE BOT DIDN'T SCREW ME OVER—sabo will catch this egg like the first one...except it does sort of fumble in his hands for a moment. gotta love the eggy remains playing into all of this for him.

though the question now is how many eggs left does luci have in comparison to the two eggs that sabo has. two eggs that are sitting comfy inside of his coat pocket. ]

Are you going to be satisfied with a just two egg rice omelette? No requests for an upgrade?

[totalcatastrophe]

Yeah? Like what?

[ Asked with a hand on his chin. This hunger thing is getting complicated. ]

[vivens]

[ is it really that complicated? ]

Side dishes and anything else that's extra. I would have thought someone like you would be a bit more greedy.

[totalcatastrophe]

Human food can be gross.

[ Said like it's that obvious. But Luci has lost interest. He falls back, hand waving dismissively. ]

Surprise me, omelette-dude.

[vivens]

Well, it looks like I quite a bit to prove to you then.

[ if luci thought he was going to throw the eggs back at him...he actually won't. he's going to go make luci that rice omelette like he promised, actually.

so bye ig and thanks for the eggs!!! ]

[totalcatastrophe]

Looks like you should get on it, then.

[ Luci, still bored, waves dismissively again. I'm sorry about him. ]

[vivens]

[ that's fine and acceptable because sabo will take it in strides. at least luci isn't like...outright malicious??? or if he is, sabo hasn't seen it and whether that's for the best or not is left to be seen.

nevertheless, it will be a reasonable amount of time, but sabo will eventually come back and when he does, he'll have a plate of a pretty standard looking rice omelette in hand. now if luci is here then he's welcomed to it but sabo's got a feeling that maybe the little demon creature has run off to do more interesting and will only wait for a specific amount of time before helping himself to his own cooking.

snooze you lose and all of that. ]

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Luci is missing from the roof when Sabo returns. It's hard to tell if he left or is just hiding up there. Sabo will be left alone with his shelly omelette rice for a while. Right up until the point it looks like Sabo's going to eat it instead.

Luci emerges suddenly from somewhere! Notably, he is now on the ground. ]

Took you long enough.

[vivens]

[ hello there little demon creature. how is the weather down there? sabo, who would normally crouch down to the level of who he's speaking to, doesn't make a single move and instead stands there still poised to take a bite. ]

I could say the same for you. I had half the thought that you would have gotten bored and left.

[totalcatastrophe]

Yeah? How long it'd take you to put that half-thought together?

[ Luci watches, waiting for Sabo to take a bite like he isn't hungry.
It's almost like a game of omelette rice chicken. ]

[vivens]

[ yeah, he's not going to take a bite any time soon but he also isn't going to lower the plate down to luci's level. ]

Not very long. A moment a best.

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Luci has advanced to arm crossing. But he doesn't actually have enough patience for this. ]

Augh. Just take a bite already.

[vivens]

A bite?

[ sadly, sabo does. ...if only for this very specific reason. ]

Why would I do that?

[totalcatastrophe]

Because you think you're so tall and cool, holding food over the little guy.

[ Now for his accusatory pièce de résistance. ]

Just like a noble.
