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.

Hm?

[ Hien lowers the grappling hook gun and turns to look at Shizuku. ]

Bird... oh, the sparrow? Yeah. Really squishy and soft. What about it?

[cheerfuldays]

Well- I got something in the mail that I realized belonged to someone else here... So I think that it might actually be mine.

( she feels a little silly for not realizing it sooner, honestly. )

[selfconcept]

Oh, yeah? Wanna give me something in exchange?

[ He totally sounds like some gangster, but he's mostly kidding. Sorta. ]

[cheerfuldays]

Ah- ( how had she not considered this as a possibility? ... because hien's spoiled her, honestly. but she does have to think for a moment. ) If that's what it takes, yes. Though, I'm actually a little unsure what I could offer at the moment.

[selfconcept]

It's fine.

[ He gets up from the seat and puts the grappling hook gun away. ]

I actually have a favor. Could you come with me to my room? It's just right there.

[cheerfuldays]

Alright.

( doesn't even hesitate... hien is good to her though, so it's probably fine. she'll follow when he's ready. )

[selfconcept]

[ Honestly, yeah. It'll become apparent when the door is open and Hien goes to his closet first thing. He whips out the Double Face uniform, holding it out in full. ]

Do you think this suits Madara or Riku better?

[ He knows this is an idol outfit. It has to be. And he knows there are Riku and Madara who are also idols. Shizuku is one too, but it looks too big for her, so she's out of the running. ]

[cheerfuldays]

( ... oh, that's. not what she expected. but... hmmm. given the dvd she got today, riku's designated with red, likely because of his hair. and this did have a red undertone- but not the right shade. exact colors were very important, after all.

more importantly, given their talk on saturday... )

I think it's Madara's.

[selfconcept]

Thanks.

[ The uniform goes back into the closet and Hien goes over to his desk for the little sparrow plush, and then giving it to Shizuku. ]

Here you go. That's all I wanted to know. If Madara wants to come and pick it up, tell him I expect some sort of payment.

[ ... ]

And tell him not to try and break into my room again.

[cheerfuldays]

( sparrow acquired! almost immediately shizuku hugs it close to her face, inhaling slowly. despite a week in hien's care, there's still a lingering scent of her jasmine candles. )

Thank you, Hien. And I will...

( pause. )

Wait, he what?

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is kinda glad he didn't hug it while he slept... or he would have felt really bad. ]

We first met in his attempt to break into my room. He was swiping his card on my lock.

[cheerfuldays]

Oh goodness.

( madara, what the heck. she'd like to believe it had been a mixup. but given his secret talent... ... )

I... yes, I can see why that would be something to note. I-I don't think he'll do it again, at least?

[selfconcept]

[ The profile sure gives him away! Hien has a big doubt over Madara's manic persona because of it too. ]

I brought it up in case he wants to retrieve the uniform without giving me something in exchange.

[ It's clear who he favors between Shizuku and Madara. ]

[cheerfuldays]

( it sure is. but she nods in understanding, though she's not entiiiirely sure she gets the exchange thing in general. hien's just like that, she supposes. )

Okay. I'll tell him though... is there anything else you needed?

[selfconcept]

Actually, here.

[ He gets out two bundle of grapes. ]

Take these. I got too many.

[cheerfuldays]

( shizuku looks at the grapes for a moment before she bursts out laughing, but yeah okay she'll take the grapes. )

Ehehe, alright... thanks for the snack!

[selfconcept]

[ Cute. Shizu should smile more, is what he thinks as if he hasn't thought of it already. ]

That's all I got, so run along now. Hope you have a good one.

[cheerfuldays]

Mmhm. You too, and if I don't see you again tonight, then good night.

( and away she goes, sparrow and grapes in hand! )
