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. )

[ But also— ]
There are still plenty of younger ones here, though. I know a few of them aren't used to things like this.
no subject
[ From her expression, it is fairly obvious that she believes this is a fool's errand. She does still genuinely want to hear the answer though. ]
no subject
No. Whether or not things are easier for them comes partially from themselves. I can’t do anything about that.
[ A pause. ]
However… there’s no harm in trying to make things easier. It’s easy enough for me to do, so I might as well.
no subject
[ Good to know he's not completely deluded about this options. She's feeling herself lose her appetite for breakfast though. ]
You might not be doing them a favor. Eventually, there might be a time where they will have to learn to face these things alone without leaning on anybody. I hope there will be.
no subject
[ He shoots her a curious look. ]
no subject
[ She would not blame him if he did - it's not like she advertises her various experiences that strongly. But she is curious. ]
no subject
No.
[ Does he still consider her a child? Not completely, but he does think of her as incredibly young. ]
I wouldn't classify anyone with an occupation like yours as sheltered.
no subject
I don't appreciate a lot about this place, but the honesty in calling it that instead of a euphemistic 'patient' is nice.
[ The world is a giant hospital etc etc etc, but she does enjoy not having her position be trivialized. ]
So no, not for my personal growth. For theirs.
no subject
Theirs? Are you interested in seeing how everyone else reacts to these tasks?
no subject
[ She hesitates. ]
Though that makes me sound an awful lot like Lorelei. How unpleasant...
no subject
Hmm, I suppose it does. Tell me why you're interested in seeing how they react.
no subject
Only if you make me breakfast.
no subject
Sure. Are you in the mood for an omelet or scrambled eggs? I could make a waffle too, if you want that instead.
no subject
[ After spending a few weeks in this place, she's gotten used to the tastes of the present. It has made her the exact opposite of a picky eater - every taste is exciting and the more she learns to tolerate them, the more she enjoys eating. ]
no subject
[ Fai starts to get everything ready, turning on the stove to heat up the pan. ]
So... why do you want to see how they react?
no subject
They're from such different places, but all a measure of sheltered. I am of the belief that a measure of confrontation with risk and danger is necessary for the human self-preservation instinct as well as general mental health. So their adaptability is of interest to me in a way that is quite removed from Lorelei's objective.
no subject
...I do think you have a point. However, I wouldn't want them to go through something particularly traumatic.
[ ... ]
Although, that ship might have already sailed with this past weekend.
