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. )

It’s good to see you, Idia. Would you like anything for breakfast?
no subject
... Um... [walking a bit closer, trying to think how to word it,]
... y- you wouldn't happen to know any breakfast that's like... "feel better soon" energy, do you...?
[Like, something with a +50% to HP and an EXP Boost for the next 45 minutes?]
no subject
[ After all, what would make Fai feel better are pancakes with berries on top with a side of sweet coffee. Not everyone likes that. ]
no subject
[He quickly pulls his tablet out and pulls up the profiles.]
[Yeah, if it were him, some sugar-loaded sweet stack of pancakes would be great. Or maybe a fruity cereal with a cute mascot. But, there it is, right under "dislikes"... sweets! Uwaa, truly, they were incompatible people, weren't they?! Either way, peering up at Fai from behind the tablet.]
... i- it says "spicy"... I don't have Hint Coins for any more.
no subject
[ Hmmm... he'll make some spicy scrambled eggs and toast, he thinks. That should be good.
Fai starts to gather up ingredients. ]
Does this person enjoy coffee?
no subject
... Ah...
[he just checked the profiles and now he's checking them again. It does say cafes- but not sweet- so maybe a coffee that's more mellow would do it? Ah, but the thought of bitter, bitter coffee is so gross... if Cater doesn't like it he'd either need to pour a cup of sugar in or throw it out...]
I- I can ask him to try it?
no subject
There's no harm in that! I'll even keep it on the lighter side so that it's not too sweet yet not bitter either.
[ Hmm... ]
You know, Hien likes the hazelnut creamer in his coffee, so why don't I put that in?
no subject
[And he perks up a little at the next suggestion. Well, then, if Cater didn't like it, then, h- he'd get an advantage on things Hien liked.]
... y- yeah. [nod, nod]
... that's right, you're M'lord S- ... H- Hien's partner, aren't you...
no subject
[ But he definitely caught what sounded like the start of a nickname... ]
Do you know him well?
no subject
[Well, certainly, in terms of aesthetic design they're a good match. dark-hair-blond-hair was a classic combination, wasn't it?...]
... k- kind of. He's been looking... out for me? I- I guess...
[... eh~ it feels childish to say but that's really the sum of it, isn't it...]
no subject
[ Fai doesn't seem to think it's childish, at least! Honestly, it's cute. ]
I knew he was looking out for some of the people here. He's just been too shy to admit it to me.
no subject
[Checking versus his mental image of Hien... checking...]
W- Well, M- ... Hien is cool, so it's probably more something like...
"Ah, I didn't need to brag about it," or something like that!
no subject
Oh, not at all! It's more like... "Hmph, why would I tell you? Stupid."
[ He's clearly amused, even as he imitates Hien. ]
no subject
Eh, the M'lord Hien I know has never called me stupid... e- even when I've definitely said some stupid things!
[also, the nicknames have fused]
no subject
He calls me that whenever he gets all huffy. It's pretty cute.
[ He gets out some bread and pops two slices into the toaster as he goes back to tending to the eggs. ]
no subject
A- Are you saying that... wh- when faced with an excessively cheery character, M'lord Hien becomes a- a- a tsundere?!
no subject
That’s right!
[ Fai feels lucky he knows that word. ]
It’s one of the most endearing things about him, if you ask me.
no subject
[Idia turns to the side and starts chewing on his nail while pondering this new development. While not every word is audible, there's enough to get bits and pieces.]
[the key phrases seem to be "want to see it" but "impossible"]
... maybe if I get a drone camera...
no subject
[ There’s an amused look in his eyes. ]
Pay attention to him next time we all have a meeting.
[ Fai will try to provoke him. ]
no subject
... that...
[there's a moment of fret fret fret but utlimately]
[yeah absolutely he wants to see it!]
[he bows his head politely]
Yes, I'll be in your care.
[Please show him the tsundere self.]
no subject
I'll do my best to bring that side of his out.
[ The toast is done, so Fai goes to set it on a plate before brewing some more coffee. ]
Would you like some coffee too? I'll also make it just the way Hien likes for you.
[ It seems like Idia really looks up to Hien, so he might as well. ]
no subject
... um. Y- Yes, please.
[It didn't hurt to try it!]
no subject
The eggs are done too, so he turns off the stove and gets them onto the plate. The coffee finishes just as he gets that all together, so Fai pours Idia a mug first. ]
He likes his coffee mostly plain, except for some of this syrup.
[ Fai pours in what he's figured out is the perfect amount of hazelnut syrup. He mixes it with a spoon before handing the mug over to Idia. ]
For you.
no subject
[he take a little sip and,]
H-Hot... [Buddy, you could have just waited a bit. Maybe stirred it more. Bud.]
no subject
Be careful, there. I should have warned you that it's still pretty hot. Try blowing on it a bit before taking another sip.
