02 - week two

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.

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

[ 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: (ohhhhhh suffering)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-03 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Luci Ha's at that crushed egg, already tossing another one before Sabo finishes his sentence. ]

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-04 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (probably sarcasm)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-04 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Like what?

[ Asked with a hand on his chin. This hunger thing is getting complicated. ]
vivens: (pic#15641159)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-05 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (im tired of picking keywords)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-05 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
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: (pic#15641060)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-06 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
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: (baths are for losers)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like you should get on it, then.

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

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-06 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (shaken and stirred)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-06 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (pic#15698441)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-07 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (baths are for losers)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-07 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
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: (pic#15698442)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-07 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (shaken and stirred)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-08 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Luci has advanced to arm crossing. But he doesn't actually have enough patience for this. ]

Augh. Just take a bite already.
vivens: (pic#15698420)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-08 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
A bite?

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

Why would I do that?
totalcatastrophe: (nope)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-08 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
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.

vivens: (pic#15698468)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-08 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wow??? sabo is almost absolutely sure that there's no way that luci knows the deeper reason why this would irritate him but his skin crawls at the accusation nevertheless. ]

A noble? [ perfectly calm and still with a smile on his face. ] Nobles are far worse than I am.

[ he's more than aware that he's playing into luci's hands because of the remark but that's fine with him. sabo's voice will be ever pleasant as he kneels down and holds the plate with spoon to him. ]

They'd probably kick you first before dumping the food onto the ground—at the very least of it.
totalcatastrophe: (Default)

tw uh... french revolution level starvation/violence talk? /squints

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-10 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sabo would be correct. It was a shot in the dark based on his profile and Luci's own personal experience with nobles. Though now, it'd be a lie to say Luci hadn't noticed it was effective. ... Even if it ran deeper than that for Sabo, he probably still would've said it.

Luci scampers closer when Sabo kneels, with a little dwoop sound effect before looking it over. He sounds way too chipper again for the subject.
]

Heh, sounds like how we treat people in Hell. [ He leans in for the next part, holding up a hand to snicker to Sabo like it's pretty juicy gossip. ] You know, most nobles go to hell, especially when they inevitably get their heads chopped off by their own starving masses. Ha, they never learn.
vivens: (pic#15698873)

nods

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ well, if sabo's bothered by how chipper luci sounds, it doesn't show on his face. ]

That right?

[ sabo takes a squat to speak to luci closer to being eye-level now that they're on a topic that's better suited for them. :worry: ]

I hope that they experience every bit of cruelty that they've inflicted on other people while alive then. It would be only fitting.

[ WELL..... he wishes for far worse (probably), but he's being pleasant and tactful(?) about it. ]
totalcatastrophe: (Default)

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-10 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Luci cackles at that and nods. ]

Everyone gets their own special Hell. Whatever they deserve, for all eternity. Those ones are some of the worst.

[ Said as he starts to cram a bite into his mouth. ]
vivens: (pic#15492835)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-06-10 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Makes sense.

[ sabo doesn't quite laugh but he does smile slightly at the information. there's an undercurrent feeling of "as they should" that goes unsaid about him, however more obvious is that he's curious to see what luci's reaction is to his cooking. ]

I don't know if there is a proper Hell in my world, but if there was then I would it to be the same as your's.
totalcatastrophe: (cronch cronch)

tw ... /unsure maybe not

[personal profile] totalcatastrophe 2022-06-10 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, finally someone that gets it.

[ Luci, is that really a good thing? Anyway, he thinks it is. And as long as this food delivery isn't like, actually gross on purpo-- well actually, even then he'd probably still eat it. If Sabo did indeed leave some shells, then he'll get a first row seat to Luci having fun crunching them mercilessly between words. ]

Eh, who knows? There's probably all kinds of celestial beings. They take themselves way too seriously.

[ Because that is his running theory on the why and the how behind everyone being trapped here. Why all of these different universes seem to exist. It makes sense to him. ]
