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. )

[... the small animal has his meds and is talking to him.]
[Now, while Idia doesn't concern himself with most people in the program, he's alert enough to have seen the little demon over the course of the past two classes, at least. And he was paired with- Mae, right, the one who was Definitely a Human.]
[It's a little harder to convince himself this one is Definitely a Human, this is Definitely Something Else.]
I... ... Icchan... [it takes him twenty seconds or so to remember the task from the previous week]
P- Please, the person who submitted that doesn't even call me that! I'm sure he did it just to embarrass m-
[... flashback to this weekend and attempting to meet his roommate on a more open emotional level.]
-I'm sure he just did it to tease me or something.
no subject
His free hand finds his hip, but he winces and drops it. Luci sounds confident, pointing with the bottle like he definitely knows what he's talking about. ]
Look man, in that case you gotta reclaim it, make it your own. They can't tease you if you act like you like it.
What's so embarrassing about it anyway? I've called people way worse.
no subject
[There's a major confidence differential in the room and whether he should or not Idia defers to it!]
... e- eh, well, it's like... [he turns back to his tablet screen for a moment]
Diminutive? Cute? But then doesn't it also just sound like "ick"?
no subject
[ there is rattling from the bottle in his hand as he speaks and ultimately crosses his arms. They still throb, but maybe Mae will behave for a minute. ]
Sure, it might be annoying sometimes. But I get away with all kinds of crap because of it.
[ the briefest of pauses as he looks Icchan over from his vantage point. ]
Alright then, so what kinda things do you think are cute?
no subject
... um... leave like four tablets, please... [he at least mumbles while pointing at the bottle]
[As for the actual statement,]
It's much easier to be cute when you're four-head proportioned.
[he pauses, then pulls the tablet up and snap as if to check exactly how many heads tall Luci is. Character design! He scribbles while he talks.]
If an eighteen-year-old who's six foot tries to act cute he has to be really cute or it's just pathetic...
no subject
[ Luci says dismissively, shaking the bottle. But he keeps barreling forward. ]
I didn't say put on a cutesy act, idiot-chan.
Just call him Caycay and act like Icchan doesn't before you. That's how you win the game.
no subject
[but he sure isn't stopping luci so, like, fuckin' RIP]
... s- so, just call an equally annoying nickname back...
[Give him a second to check,]
Okay, Luci Wucy.
no subject
You just graduated back to Icchan.
[ If only he knew the word 'level' in this context. Also, if this bottle is childproof, it is going to take him a moment. Luci first considers putting the cap between his teeth. ]
But that's Mr. Wucy to you. Oh! Or LW.
[ He is still fiddling with it. ]
Did your friends back home have any dumber nicknames for you?
no subject
[That grin does settle down when the questions keep coming, though.]
Do I really look like the kind of person that has a pile of friends or the kind of friends that make up nicknames for me...?
[self esteem level: do i look like i have friends]
... need help with that cap, Mr. Lucy Wucy? [He'll add the "Mr." but he's not shortening it, it loses the charm.]
