3.0 - week three

[afflictionmods]

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

MUSEUM

(It's back to the museum because clearly we can't get enough of that!! They couldn't really appreciate it before but now, he wants to check out what there is to offer. He can be found in the museum lobby looking up at the giant whale skeleton. He's standing right under it with his arms spread wide like he's going to measure it,)

-- Imagine all the people you could feed!

(He can also be found in the natural history section pointing at one of the tyrannosaurus rex costumes,)

Hey, check it out! It's like that lizard costume!

(The T-rex costume. He means the T-rex costume he got from the random gacha the first week.)

[selfconcept]

[ Hien looks up at what Mutsu is pointing at. ]

... What lizard costume?

[tosa]

I got a lizard costume.

(He brings his arms back so his hands are kind of in front of his chest like little t-rex fingies.)

It's got a big head and li'l arms just like these guys.

[selfconcept]

[ Wow.

Cute.

Hien's expression isn't changing but, damn that was freakin adorable. ]

A t-rex costume? That sounds like fun. Haven't worn it yet?

[tosa]

Nah, haven't had a reason but maybe I can wear it here.

(Holding his head up high! He kind of strikes a little t-rex pose???)

Then everyone can see what it looks like inside and outside.

[selfconcept]

You should roar just like one too.

[ Do it, Mutsu. ]

[vivens]

[ you know, this is fine? sabo will muse quietly to himself about how mutsu is pointing t-rex costumes and calling it a "lizard". he's not entirely aware of the costume that he got from the gacha either but one thing at a time. ]

I'm not sure if you should call it a "lizard".

[tosa]

Guess it's pretty big for a lizard...

(Tap, tap, taps his chin and thinks...)

Maybe something like a dragon?

(恐竜 (Kyoryuu)....... A fearsome dragon.)

[vivens]

[ oh. there's irony here with the dragon reference but sabo won't point it out and instead just chuckle some more. ]

I'm pretty familiar to a fair number of different kind of dragons but I'm not sure if I've seen one like that. Dragons tend to be a bit more majestic than that, wouldn't you think?

[ does mutsu really not know what a t-rex is...or a dinosaur?? ]

[tosa]

Maybe ya just haven't seen enough dragons.

(I DO NOT THINK HE KNOWS WHAT A DINOSAUR IS, OKAY.)

Sometimes dragons are just normal guys like you and me.

[vivens]

[ i'm in tears but this is also fine because sabo has no idea if mutsu is doing this on purpose or not but he's going to let out a good laugh. he'll raise a hand up to do the whole "nya" thing except for "nya" its... rawr? or.... ""rawr"" ]

You're right. You certainly have a point there.

[ he shouldn't play along but he is. ]

So, if this is a dragon, what would you call it?

[imitationsoul]

[ The whale skeleton is really cool - even a perpetual cynic like Miach can't argue with that. ]

Only, you'd have to kill it first. Any idea of how you'd do that?

[tosa]

(ONE HESITATION--)

I'd shoot it.

[imitationsoul]

With what?

[ This is a pop quiz now!! ]

[tosa]

(FINGER GUNS,)

With a gun! A real big one! Like a cannon!

[imitationsoul]

[ Hmmmm. ]

That might stun it, but I'm not sure if it would be enough for a kill... Whales live in the depths of the sea, their skin is quite thick to isolate them from the cold.

[sicklysweet]

[it's time]

...

[SQUINTING...]

That looks more like a dragon than a lizard.

[tosa]

Guess it looks like a dragon... but ain't a dragon just a big ol' lizard anyway?

[sicklysweet]

No? Dragons breathe fire.

[...]

Or ice. They're magical beasts. Lizards aren't.

[tosa]

Koi ain't nothing either but that doesn't stop 'em from becoming dragons, y'know.

(This probably sounds really wierd out of context hear me out........ koi fish become dragons if they can leap for a hundred years and make it over waterfalls in legends.)

[sicklysweet]

[me sitting here trying to remember if koi exist in mhyk before i gave up]

Things don't become dragons? Dragons are born dragons.

[pr159]

I think "lizards" generally walk on four legs.

[tosa]

(Hello? That's a very fair point and he stops to think for a second,)

... Huh, might be onto something there.

[pr159]

Looks more like a merfish as far as general shape goes, if you ask me... though the proportions are certainly off.

[tosa]

(He's tilting his head.....)

What kinda fish are you eating?
