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 a cute shirt, so Fai is more than happy to grab that along with the shorts. He retreats into the fitting room, coming out a couple minutes later. He has the shirt tucked in in the front, letting it hang out over the shorts on the side. ]

This is pretty cute too. You have a good eye, Hien.

[selfconcept]

You don't have to tuck this in... the shorts go with a more appropriate sized shirt for you.

[ Which he forgot to bring.

He walks over to Fai and tries to untuck it. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai looks down, watching Hien untuck his shirt. ]

I see…

[ Does he? ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien looks up at Fai after he pulls the shirt out of the shorts. ]

What? If you got something to say, then say it.

[partymagician]

[ Fine, he’ll say it. ]

It’s as if you have an image in mind of exactly how you want me to look.

[selfconcept]

Yeah...? If I didn't, I wouldn't have picked these out for you.

[ Hien doesn't get what Fai talking about. ]

[partymagician]

Hmm… how did you say it? Aren’t you worried about getting too distracted if I wear this?

[ Payback? Payback. ]

[selfconcept]

[ ............

Hien tries to shove Fai into the fitting room and closes the door. bye. ]

[partymagician]

[ Wow!!

Fai leans up against the door, suppressing a laugh. ]

So, you don’t like how I look in this…?

[selfconcept]

Lose the shorts and I'll say yes.

[ The shirt should be big enough despite how tall they are. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai bites back another laugh before taking off the shorts and tossing them over the fitting room door. ]

Done~

[selfconcept]

[ Hien knocks on the door anyway, despite Fai saying that he's done and catches the pair of shorts. He wants to have some manners at least. ]

Come out whenever.

[partymagician]

[ Fai opens the door, poking his head out first just because before he steps out fully. ]

So, is it better?

[ The shirt is pretty oversized, so it manages to cover the very tops of his thighs. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien's eyes are obvious where they are: Fai's legs. They're stuck there until Hien eventually looks up at Fai. ]

I hope you'll wear it like this in the room at least. I won't ask you wear it outside.

[partymagician]

[ Fai has half a mind to tell Hien his eyes are a little further up than his legs… but he doesn’t mind.

That request, though. Wow. ]

You want me to wear this in our room? Just because?

[selfconcept]

Well, I'm not gonna ask you to wear this kind of thing outside. And if you're not gonna wear it outside, you wear it inside.

[ Perfect logic to him. ]

... Did you think you'd have to wear it every single time you're in the room? That's silly.

[partymagician]

[ Hien… ]

So you only want me to wear it occasionally so you can ogle at me.

[ Got it. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien flounces out of the fitting room. He's going to use this time to look at more clothes. Not with Fai!! Hmph!! ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai lets Hien be for a minute or two before coming up behind him. He doesn’t try to conceal his steps so that his presence is known as he leans over Hien’s shoulder. ]

I didn’t say I minded.

[selfconcept]

Yeah, yeah.

[ Hien continues to a little huffy as he holds out a big gray t-shirt. This is his now. ]

You shouldn't say those things in public.

[partymagician]

You said Marcus could watch us do certain things.

[ That’s all. ]

[selfconcept]

... It's easy to say things if you don't mean them.

[ He's not into people watching, tyvm. He refuses to face Fai while saying that though. ]

[partymagician]

[ Hm. ]

How much of what you say do you actually mean?

[ Is this why Hien doesn’t compliment him?? ]

[selfconcept]

Don't think so deeply into it. I was only saying it to tease Marcus. I mostly say what I mean... I'd like to think I'm straightforward.

[ Most of the time, anyway. ]

[partymagician]

Am I not fun to tease?

[ He knows the answer is no, but he wants to ask to bother Hien anyway. ]
