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. )

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

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. ]

[selfconcept]

You don't really react the way I want you to, so, not really.

[ Not to mention some of it gets backfired real badly. ]

[partymagician]

So you like people who react like Marcus?

[ It's a real shame Fai would never react like him, though. ]

Or do you just like any reaction?

[selfconcept]

As long as it's a fun reaction to see.

[ He's not very picky. Hien plucks a very large and thin hoodie for himself in gray. It looks really comfortable to hide in. ]

[partymagician]

A fun one, huh? What would be fun to see from me?

[selfconcept]

At this point, I might have to be mean to bring it out of you.

[ No, he will not elaborate. ]

Are you gonna get anything else?

[partymagician]

Yep!

[ He's been subtly picking out things during their conversation. In his arms are a few graphic tees, skinny jeans, tank tops, and slightly cropped shirts. ]

So, tell me how mean you'll be.

[selfconcept]

[ Hien frowns a little, pulls Fai close and whispers into his ear.

After that, he speeds out of the clothes store. BYE. ]
