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. )

[ There's no reason Ace would turn down the offer to check things out, it does have his curiosity with the items that have already cropped up.

He stops dead in his tracks when he spots the fruit doll. Sorry, he's immediately reaching out for it without thinking or asking about it. Yeah, it really caught him by surprise. ]

just one from hien and fai will take over the rest

[selfconcept]

[ Despite what Hien said about shooting people who's stealing stuff, his hook gun remains down as he watches Ace's expression. That isn't the expression someone has with the intention of theft. He thinks he knows Ace's basic personality enough to think that he won't steal it, so he lightly nudges Fai to take care of Ace. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai smiles softly, patting Hien on the knee to silently tell him that he’s got this. ]

You can go ahead and take that, Ace.

[ It’s very, very obvious that it’s his. ]

[iubar]

[ Well. He wouldn't mind theft or be ashamed of it. Though, he has no reason to steal from these two right now. So, yeah, he's only interested in something he's familiar with.

And with Fai's voice, he snaps out of his daze, so to speak, and looks at the pair. ]

Ah, I just didn't expect to see this here.

[partymagician]

Are you glad to see it?

[ He would hope so! There's a bit of gentleness to Fai's smile, because he's well aware that even dolls like this can have a lot of sentimental value. ]

[iubar]

I guess that's one way to put it.

[ It's a Complicated feeling. He's not sure how to explain it. ]

[partymagician]

Bittersweet?

[ It's more of a question Fai asks himself than Ace. ]

Feel free to take it, no charge.

[iubar]

[ There's a bit of a huff of a laugh. He doesn't deny it, but he doesn't confirm it. Just giving a smile in return. ]

Appreciate it.

[ And he picks the plush up to look it over. ]

I should probably check if I have anything that belongs to anyone. Could be pretty important to them.

[partymagician]

It could be!

[ He tilts his head, watching Ace pick up the plush. ]

What do you have?

[iubar]

Few random things... A flute, a pillow covered in butts, a movie ticket, a camera, and a bottle filled with water.

[ the butt pillow was a random item, but he doesn't know. maybe someone in this place has a thing for butts. ]

[partymagician]

I got a pillow covered in butts too!

[ It's not a bad pillow, honestly... even if Hien wouldn't let Fai gift it to him. ]

[iubar]

[ Funny that, he tried to say it was more Sabo's style, too. At least the pillow is comfortable enough. ]

We're a lucky pair.

[partymagician]

Aren't we just? Say, did you happen to get a pillow with "yes" and "no" on either side?

[ He wants to see just how many people are getting weird pillows... ]

[iubar]

No... Why would anyone want that kind of pillow?

[ Seems more strange than a butt pillow to him. ]

[partymagician]

…Well, Hien and I both got it.

[ So, someone out there thinks they should have it, apparently? ]

[iubar]

What would that be used for?

[ Sorry he doesn't know this. ]

[partymagician]

…Indicating your mood for that particular night.

[ Please. Don’t make him explain it more. Or do. ]

[iubar]

Like if you're mad at the other person?

[ FAI I'M SORRY. ]

[partymagician]

[ weeping ]

Hmmm… I’d say the opposite of mad, in most cases.

[ He wouldn’t be surprised if someone flipped their pillow over to the yes side after an argument… ]

[iubar]

[ Sobs, some people probably would.

Ace blinks once. ]

Is it for... [ Gears turning?? ]

[partymagician]

[ He laughs, a little bit sheepish. ]

It sure is~
