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. )

gym...

[vivens]

[ my bruh.

sabo's in full understanding to push oneself for fitness reasons, but limitations also exist and sabo is definitely feeling as though that should be the case of what's happening here. i mean, normally he'd be more supportive of it but at the same time...?

how is his partner feeling? ]

You look as though you might want to take a break.

[exofractured]

I just [please disregard the panting] started-

[Phantom is definitely having a word with the manager later about the number of jocks in this university. But for the moment he's trying to look as not-about-to-keel-over and competent as someone can while breathing that hard, shooting Sabo a slightly defensive look.]

[vivens]

[ look. these jocks are looking out for him. mostly?? sabo will not disregard the panting and if anything he'll just casually walk up closer to phantom and place a hand on the treadmill. he isn't here to spot phantom but he will do something. ]

Then perhaps you should start a bit more slowly.

[ cue him doing the reverse and just very gradually lowering the speed a few notches until phantom doesn't seem as bad. ]

[exofractured]

[It's going to take Phantom a little bit to bounce back from those poor choices. He tries to glare, but... Unfortunately, that really is a little better.

Ugh. His poor side.]

I'm going to start suspecting several of you are hoping to leave me as bait for whatever Saturday's lesson turns out to be.

[But despite the sulking, he gives Sabo a little nod. It's not totally unappreciated, okay.]

[vivens]

[ he'll take the glare like a champ and just smile back at phantom knowingly. it's okay, he won't comment it and let phantom have his pride or whatever is left of it. he will be caught off guard from the remark, however. ]

I'd never dream of using you as bait.

[ ??? ]

If I was going to volunteer anyone as bait, it would be myself.

[ not even a moment's hesitation with this one. ]

[exofractured]

[Is Phantom... being mocked with that smile?

Actually, this personality is very, very reminiscent of someone. That's been a while.]

...Of course. There really is a correlation between muscles and some sort of hero complex.

[vivens]

[ he is definitely not being mocked!! there is no mocking here and sabo will make a face. muscles? he's aware that he's fit but when it comes to beef, sabo would think of his partner before himself.

his tone will be more confused than offended. ]

What is that supposed to mean?

[exofractured]

[Phantom is blissfully unaware of anyone else's contemplations on their partner's muscles, though it would absolutely be his karma to end up in possession of this information too.]

That you didn't even appear to consider the possibility. Why volunteer yourself?

[Is he really going to have this ethical debate while still 3/4 dead on a treadmill. This is some kind of training, probably.]

[vivens]

[ that's good. i'm happy for phantom to be blissfully aware and ignorant to it because he's probably going to have some sort of ethical debate while training. something else to occupy his mind while he works out, clearly. ]

It wouldn't be the first time that I stood in someone's way.

[ sounding as confident as ever but not to the point where he might come off as cocky. ]

And if I'm going to be responsible for someone else's life then I better be capable of handling things.
