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. )

dorms indeed
So here she is, briefly peeking in. ]
Are you a hikikomori at home?
[ ... no hello before that bombshell, sorry. ]
right for his throat i see
[Although, really, that's not a question he's surprised to get nor one he's confused about the answer to.]
... ... Yep, that's me...
he's like an exciting museum exhibit to her....
[ She sounds delighted by these news, at least. And also is absolutely coming inside now, sorry. ]
A staunch refusal to join up with the society outside. Known as a veritable epidemic in the early 2000s. I'd be dragged to therapy camp right away if I tried it, but I can't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind.
the wild hikikomori in his native habitat (his room)
[Still, Miach's talking in a scientific enough way that Idia doesn't entirely short-circuit. He's growing and evolving he can properly carry on a conversation now!]
Th- Therapy camp?! What a terrible punishment... i- isn't part of the key essence of hikki life the "I have given up~" part? Like, "don't bother with me anymore~" and they don't even let you do that?
no subject
[ And well, she could, but is there really a point if after a day or two she'd have to deal with hours upon hours of mandatory counceling? The payoff just doesn't justify that. ]
So I'm a little envious of you, really.
no subject
... w- well, even in my time and world, they put way too much focus on "school togetherness" and "socialization events"...
[he sighs and shrugs]
I can get everything they want me to do for class done from my tablet so I can max my fun and classwork stats but sometimes I'm still forced to show up...
[He doesn't even consider how he maybe gets away with being a shut-in because of his technological prowess. And that he build a little brother robot that can fire a high-powered magical beam.]
... d- don't even get me started on th- the dorm leader meetings...
no subject
Dorm leader meetings? Don't tell me that's a responsibility you couldn't weasel out of?
[ Who appoints a shut-in to lead a dorm??? ]
no subject
Usually, I can just send my tablet. The other leaders complain about it but it's not like I'm shirking anything by participating remotely...
[He doesn't deny weaseling out of responsibility, though. He would absolutely try to in any way he could! Why bother trying to impress anyone here... especially not someone who seems impressed or interested in the fact he's a shut-in.]
... the last time I actually had to go in person was... the ceremony at the beginning of the year, I think...?
no subject
Is dorm leader a position primarily assigned to the student with top grades then? Since I don't imagine you do much actual organizing of other dorm residents.
[ There's no judgement in that either, she is indeed approaching Idia's attitude to live with curiosity and respect for his choices. ]
no subject
The previous dorm head nominated me. [Why did he do that? Who fucking knows, the game doesn't tell us.]
... I considered refusing but, well, who wants to take orders from someone beneath them? There's no helping the fact I'm the smartest.
[A simplified way of saying he exemplifies the traits of the dorm! Smart, dilligent (at things he likes), and able to program in his sleep! Either way, Miach's respect is absolutely letting him puff himself up and preen.]
