week 2 ~*afterparty*~

[escardos]

[ well, after everyone had their encounter either ghostbusting or being ghostbusted, and once returned to the campus, flat thinks that it's a great idea to wind down with-- ]

I FOUND A BOOTLEG COPY OF THE SHREK MOVIE. LET'S WATCH IT @ THE KARAOKE PLACE! BRING YOUR OWN SNACKS!!!!

[ hopefully it's not too cramped, but repurposing a tablet to project estelletube 'jim shrok FULL MOVIE part 1 of 20' is not that difficult of a task for flat.

he's managed to bring some popcorn, but that's about it.

rest up everyone, it's been a long day.

(for ya'll. flat had fun.) ]

[ Fai makes his way into the common area a few minutes into the movie starting, finding a seat on one of the emptier couches. He seems a little more... subdued than usual. During the movie, he'll offer some of his chips to anyone who wants them.

After the movie, Fai will smile a little at anyone nearby. ]

What'd you think?

[ He sticks around in the common room for a little while longer, but he eventually heads out to the courtyard and just lays down in the grass under a tree.

Feel free to wildcard too, as Fai will be going to the kitchen to make breakfast later in the morning before heading back to the dorms! ]

courtyard

[escardos]

[ after the movie, and still not the slightest bit sleepy, flat will catch fai under the tree. ]

Mister Fai! Good evening...or, well, morning?!

[partymagician]

[ Fai turns his head, smiling up at Flat. ]

I think it's close enough, so... good morning!

[escardos]

Good morning!

[ cheerfully chirping back at fai, flat sits down next to him on the grass. ]

Are you stargazing?

[partymagician]

[ He honestly appreciates the cheerfulness right now. ]

For as long as I can. It's nice to look at the stars, isn't it? Relaxing.

[ For him, at least. ]

[escardos]

Ah, me, too.

[ he looks up at the stars, smiling warmly, almost nostalgically, towards them. ]

Are the stars in the other worlds different?

[partymagician]

They are. Every world has had different stars.

[ He looks back up at them. ]

I kind of like it.

[escardos]

Uwah, that seems like so much fun~

[ with that, he flops down on the grass next to fai. ]

Do you ever think about the other worlds? Would you visit them again, if you could?

[partymagician]

Absolutely! Some of those world were really welcoming, so it'd be nice to go back and explore a little more.

[escardos]

Uwah, that'd be nice...

[ ... ]

Hey, can you tell me more about that girl? The one without the memories.

[partymagician]

Ah, Sakura?

[ His face noticeably lights up, much like a parent's would at the mention of their children. ]

What would you like to know about her?

[escardos]

Anything! I'm not picky. Even how you met her is fine.

[partymagician]

She was still asleep when we first met, so I’ll just tell you a little about her instead.

[ And so he doesn’t have to talk about why he really started traveling. ]

It took a while for her to really grow into her personality again, but when she did, she was adorable. Her smile could light up a room and her energy was unmatched. Everyone liked being around her.

[ Whenever Fai comes back to his dorm room, Hien won't be found on the bed. It's pretty unusual, since he would always be seen sleeping in bed around this time.

Well, that's until Fai finds him in the bathroom with a full bathtub full of soap. He has all his clothes on and seems to be sleeping. He still has bandages around his torso and the gauze (that would explain the sudden pain stop Fai experienced) despite being in the water.

Zzz... ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai goes into the bathroom to wash his face, assuming that Hien is somewhere else on campus. He stops short when he spots Hien. ]

Hien...? Are you alright?

[selfconcept]

[ Hien doesn't wake. He keeps sleeping like nothing happened. He's slowly slipping further into the water though. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai pulls him out of the water, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around Hien's shoulders before flipping the drain stopper so the water starts to drain out of the tub. ]

Hien. Wake up.

[selfconcept]

[ It's cold... that's what finally gets Hien to open his eyes. His body is starting to feel a little sore. The gauze's effects must be wearing off gradually. ]

Mm...? Fai?

[partymagician]

You fell asleep in the tub. Let's get you into some dry clothes.

[ He won't ask why Hien had his clothes on in the tub in the first place.

Fai starts to lead him out of the bathroom. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien would follow, but it feels like he can't even get up from the floor. ]

... Gimme a moment.

[ He tries again, but fails. ]

[partymagician]

[ Well. ]

Take off your clothes. I'm going to grab new ones for you.

[ Fai leaves to go into their room proper, digging through Hien's drawers until he finds some clean clothes. ]

[selfconcept]

[ There are a lot of university clothes, especially of t-shirt variety. What really might help him get warm is the silver colored sweater that he received a week ago. It looks comfortable to wear.

When Fai returns, Hien is still in his drenched clothes. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai comes back with the sweater, some sweatpants, and fresh underwear.

He sighs when he spots Hien still in his clothes. ]

Do you need help?

[selfconcept]

No. Just leave them here. I'll change.

[ The bandages on his torso feels suffocating the longer he has it on, and since the effects seem to be wearing off, so he can take it off soon. ]

[partymagician]

...Alright.

[ Fai goes back into the room, closing the bathroom door behind him.

He changes into a hoodie and sweatpants himself and organizes some of his things. Would Hien do better if he wasn't here? ]
