3.0 - week three

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. )

[ 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. ]

[tosa]

You shouldn't yell in a museum.

(It's a museum.)

[selfconcept]

Nobody is gonna tell you not to yell though.

[ Hien will not make an example, because he is not a shouty boy. ]

1/2

[tosa]

Well, when ya put it that way...

[tosa]

GAAAAAAAO!

(The truth is, Mutsu was always going to roar because Mutsu doesn't follow rules he doesnt like. He does what he wants.)

[selfconcept]

[ Cute............................

Hien looks very amused and he can't help but to smile. ]

Yeah, see? You did great. Now you should do it with the costume on. Just prance around the museum with it like it's your own backyard.

[tosa]

(A smile! We love to see it!)

Gahaha! Ya think so? Starting to feel like this is gonna be less of a museum and more of a playground.

Definitely more fun than the ones I'm used to.

[selfconcept]

That's why you gotta make your own fun, right? Can't imagine a museum where they let you yell for fun.

[tosa]

Hmm... I guess most museums are pretty serious places. A whole lotta talk about dead people and important things and a bunch of cases full of expensive stuff...

(So it makes sense they'd be pretty boring?)

It's not too bad, though. Ya get to see a lotta people, at least.

(He's an optimist.)

[selfconcept]

It's a little like a memorial, now that I think about it.

[ He looks up at the t-rex skeleton. ]

Like that. "In memory of the tyrannosaurus rex" or something.

[tosa]

... Ya make it sound more like a graveyard than a museum.

(A beat,)

Spooky.

[selfconcept]

... Museums that I know of that host stuff like this were usually made by dead people by then.

[ Anyway. ]

But museums can be fun too. There's a physics-based one I went. It was pretty cool—you could see optical illusions and see magical things without it being magical.

[tosa]

(He taps his chin, thinking,)

The one I stayed at usually was all about celebrating history. All of it's real old but I always felt like it was just kinda... "neat." Like "look at how far we've come" since a few old swords and guns.

Everyone always liked seein' those even if ya couldn't touch 'em or anything.

[selfconcept]

People are easily fascinated.

[ Mutsu stayed at a museum, huh? He makes it sound like he lived there, but Hien feels like he can understand.

That reminds him. He digs thro8gh his pocket and pulls out the gun, handing it over to Mutsu, with the grip side towards him. ]

Saw on the network post and I think this is yours? "Smith-san" or something.

[tosa]

Nothing wrong with that.

(If anything, that's one of the things that makes people amazing. But ah, he lights up--)

Smith-san! Yeah! (He's going to reach out to take it and just....... twirl it around his finger because what is gun safety.) So you got it?

[selfconcept]

[ Hien also twirled the gun to make sure it wasn't loaded, so yeah. Otherworlders are like what's gun safety?? ]

Yeah, I got it from Cater. It was really useful.

[ ... ]

I told Cater that if he somehow gets bullets later, he should just flush them down the toilet.

[tosa]

(Sometimes you show off your gun and accidentally shoot through two walls and miss a friend. It's fine.)

... Useful?

[selfconcept]

I didn't shoot anyone. It was empty.

[ Just in case that had to be said. ]

[tosa]

(...






Oh.)

Guess ya'd need those, huh?

(He is not surprised by the lack of bullets.)

[selfconcept]

Do you usually leave it empty?

[ It... looks like a real gun though?? ]

[tosa]

It usually fills itself.

(I'm just saying bc we never see him actually putting bullets in his gun in canon ever as far as I remember so??? Maybe?? Spirit bullets??)

[selfconcept]

So it's one of those.

[ Convenient. ]

It's also a lot sturdier than I thought too. I pistol whipped glass with it.

[ Not even a dent. Sugoi. ]

[tosa]

Did ya have to use Smith-san?

(HE AINT ANGRY AND HE DOESNT MIND BUT couldnt he use anything. Or was it for the style points.)
