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. )

Um, hm... [he glances down to his bandaged right hand]
[It's a short-sleeved shirt, at least, so despite seeing Idia's long, skinny, pale-ass arms it's also obvious that he never successfully managed to do what he was trying to do in the depths of possession.]
... alright... by a certain definition, I guess...
no subject
... It would be too much to ask if it went well, huh? But I'm glad you're still with us, Idia.
[ He goes to stand next to where Idia is and holds his arms out. Does he want a hug? ]
[1/3]
also hien: this emotionally unstable teen needs a hug]
no subject
[3/3]
no subject
[ Hien gently wraps his arms around him and lightly pats his back. ]
Hugs are free, you know. You also went through a lot on Saturday like everyone else, so it doesn't mean you're less deserving of one.
no subject
[he says, with his face pressed against the other's torso]
no subject
Well, then I guess you're getting a purple item for free.
[ Shh. He keeps hugging Idia, though he wonders what would happen if he touched his hair. So he attempts to give him a gentle headpat. ]
no subject
[Idia's hair doesn't sting to touch. There's a flicker to it, similar to how flames might lick over something, but there isn't heat or searing. It's also a little more tangible than a flame, with the feeling that he can manipulate it with his hands if he wants to.]
no subject
Hien has a flame swirl around his finger before trying to gently pet Idia's head again. ]
I hope... that you feel better, and know that you won't be alone.
no subject
Ah. R- Right, [he pulls back a little, still with his arms around Hien's torso but without muffling his voice.]
There was an event! I- In the "I guess we're partners" link... b- but I'm not sure if I still... n- need you to ask him anything...
no subject
[ He might even feel a little proud of them if they did?? ]
no subject
[looking one way]
[looking the other way]
... u- um... w- well, we're... going to try... and compromise.
[Is it a lot more complicated than that? Yes. Does he want to admit everything that happened, including his own repossession and Cater goading him and a lot of crying? No way!]
no subject
That's good to hear. You're getting better.
no subject
... he's still acting a little weird but, um. I can't tell if that's normal weird or a weird I should be worried about.
no subject
[ He wonders if that just means Cater needs some time to himself... ]
no subject
[... yeah, that could mean anything.]
I can't really be the peppy one to make up for it so when he says something like that I just get freeze statused and stop talking.
no subject
... It's alright. You don't need to become the peppy one to match the situation.
[ Idia... Peppy............... Hien can't handle extremely peppy people the most. ]
It must be weird seeing him like that, huh?
no subject
... w- well, rather than... weird...
[Even though in his own possessed state he had doxxed Cater's fakeness a bit, he doesn't want to go into more details about what the two of them discussed. What if this is "normal" Cater?...]
... it's easy enough to make me happy with a game or candy but obviously two different people are going to have different favs...
["I'd like to do something to make him happy but LOL what?"]
no subject
Have you thought about food? I cook him spicy ramen every now and then, which is basically just instant ramen, but better.
