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.

[ fine, he'll take the chip as it's offered and fed to him. good thing he isn't about to bite sabo's fingers for his snark. ]

On occasion.

[vivens]

[ wehehe...

he's just going to keep looking smug and offer another chip to ace. ]

Maybe you should work on that.

[iubar]

[ fine, if they're doing this, he's going to let sabo feed him while he's trying to master this dumb machine. ]

I'll keep it in mind.

[vivens]

[ he complained so sabo is just doing whatever a good brother would do. probably. ]

If you ever do and need someone to work with, I'm more than happy to provide all sorts of distractions.

[iubar]

[ seems a little sus. ]

Yeah? What kind of distractions do you have in mind?

[vivens]

[ perfect angel here. ]

All kinds. I'm the person who knows you best here.

[iubar]

[ now that's a lie. ]

I'd sure hope that was the case.

[vivens]

[ tell him his crimes. ]

Me too.

[ hmmm. ]

Looks like you're still not doing any better on time than I was.

[iubar]

You must have broke it somehow.

[ he doesn't actually BELIEVE this, but he can still blame it on sabo.

yeah, he's doing terrible. ]

[vivens]

I haven't broken anything.

[ in this thread.

also just for this no more chips for ace. they're his chips now. ]

[iubar]

[ chips. :( how mean. ]

I don't know about that.

[ but his time is up ... and he still failed. how frustrating!! ]

[vivens]

Do you really think that I'd do something like that?

[ ace just accused him about being a poor sport?? but— :) ]

But looks like time's up. So, where's your confidence now?

[iubar]

Who knows?

[ it was a jooooooooke. ]

Just because I didn't get it in that time doesn't mean I wouldn't get something before you could.

[vivens]

Well, you're still in front of the machine, aren't you? I don't have anything better to do.

[ and he has a second bag of chips to munch on because of course he would. ]

[iubar]

I'm not about to give up. Once I get one, it'll be your turn to try again.

[ he's not about to give in to the taunting or the challenge. even if there are chips he could be partaking in if he wasn't doing this. ]

[vivens]

[ does sabo need to share his chips with ace again? ]

Okay, if that's what you want, but we're leaving by when I want to make dinner.

[iubar]

[ be the sweet brother you know you are, sabo. ]

You really think it'll take me that long?

[vivens]

[ SIGHS. fine.

he'll casually hold out a chip to ace to eat. notably these are spicy chips. ]

Dinner will be whenever you get hungry.

[iubar]

[ noms, very good chips!! he makes a sound of approval at the taste. ]

We'll see when that ends up being.

[ he sure is going to be trying to win this thing. ]

[vivens]

[ as he should, and i suppose this also means that sabo will alternate who is eating a chip. one for him...one for ace... etc etc ]

I'm not taking any bets this time around. Now, I'm just curious.

[iubar]

[ that's so sweet of him. ]

To see if I'll actually manage or not?

[vivens]

What else would I be curious about.

[ hopefully neither of them will want a drink any time soon... he didn't come that prepared. ]

Other than seeing what you'll be aiming for. [ squints to look at a small black cat keychain with an expression that can only be described as "smug". ] I think that one reminds me of you.

[iubar]

Then let's see how lucky that cat is.

[ maybe it just needed to be pointed out, something to aim for, but after a couple more tries, he actually manages to snag the keychain. luck (or skill??) is finally on his side! ]

See? Told you I could do it!

[vivens]

[ ...


you know, there's a feeling of both pride and also extreme jealously for how ace just manages to win the exact keychain that sabo pointed out to him just barely moments after. like. how is that fair.

and like a good winner, he will just shoves some chips in ace's face. ]

[iubar]

[ luckily, ace has chipmunk cheeks and the chips don't choke him as he's also trying to laugh from sabo's reaction to it. after chewing and swallowing the mouthful, he leans down to snag up the keychain.

he shoves it at sabo with a grin. ]

You can keep it. Since it reminds you of me.
