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. )

[partymagician]

So that means we definitely need to put one of them on our door!

[ He laughs, setting the sign aside so he can do that later.

Fai opens up another package, pulling out... an entire lance. ]

Wow, this is big!

[selfconcept]

[ Hien whistles. That sure is a big lance. ]

Do you think you can handle something like that?

[partymagician]

Are you calling me weak?

[ He points the lance at Hien, but it's obvious he's not going to do anything dangerous with the way he smiles. ]

[selfconcept]

Yeah, you stick.

[ He knows Fai is strong, but he's just saying that just to spite him. Hien just stares at the lance evenly. ]

[partymagician]

Hmph!

[ Fai tosses it up a couple of feet before catching it with his other hand and setting it on his bed. ]

That just means you can carry anything heavy for me.

[selfconcept]

Carry it yourself.

[ Hien will help Fai carry things because he's whipped. ]

Who do you think the lance belongs to? I feel like it could be Marcus's... either that or an ax or hammer.

[ He's too buff. ]

[partymagician]

No clue! I'm sure there are people here hiding some immense strength.

[ Like Fai. ]

Marcus is a pretty big guy, though, so it could be him. Or Ace or Sabo.

[ Now he's just naming big guys... ]

[selfconcept]

Ace doesn't look like a lance-user. For Sabo... maybe a gun. He's kinda stylish like that. I can't see spice man being a lance-user either, only because he just seems like... the type to fuck around just because. You can't really do that with a lance of this design.

[partymagician]

Let's put a notice out for it so we can find the owner.

[ He feels like it could be anyone's, especially if they try to come up with reasons why it could and couldn't be a certain person. ]

[selfconcept]

Yeah, that'll work.

[ People are pretty attached to their weapons, after all. He tries to imagine if his bundle of wires were here. He'd absolutely want that back, but mostly because it isn't really his in the first place. ]

Got anything else?

[partymagician]

[ He takes out a broom and a strange fruit-like doll. ]

These two things. I wonder why we have a broom... I think we keep this room tidy.

[ And if Hien doesn't make an effort, Fai makes enough of one for the both of them. ]

[selfconcept]

[ He's not THAT bad... though it only gets worse with more possessions he obtains. ]

Maybe it's Owen's and he uses it to fly in the sky or something. Maybe that's a wizard equivalent.

[ :worry: ]

That plush looks squishable. Toss it to me.

[partymagician]

[ Fai tosses it over to Hien. ]

Do wizards actually use brooms to fly...?

[ That's so weird. Fai might as well have a huge cauldron and flowing robes in that case. ]

[selfconcept]

Depends on the world, I guess. Witches are known to fly on brooms, so the male equivalent must be the same.

[ He catches the fruit plush and squishes it. It's so soft... ]

[partymagician]

[ Huh. To think the old legends can match reality in some worlds... ]

You really like soft things, don't you?

[ It's cute...

Fai pulls out an old suitcase, setting it to the side. It very clearly belongs to someone, what with its age. ]

[selfconcept]

... Yeah.

[ He tosses the fruit doll back to Fai. ]

Damn, that's a janky old suitcase. It looks at least forty years old.

[partymagician]

[ Fai catches it, setting it on his bed with the other things. ]

Must be some sort of heirloom. I'm sure whoever it belongs to will be happy to have it back.

[selfconcept]

[ He supposes that's right and nods before going back to one of his own boxes. But then he draws out a sheathed sword. ]

A sword...

[partymagician]

Wow, it's pretty~

[ They sure are getting a lot of weapons, though... Maybe Fai should feel somewhat concerned. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien doesn't feel concerned at all, because it means more people are competent at fighting. And he really wants to fight someone for real when he isn't possessed by a freaking ghoul. ]

I wonder whose it could be. It looks fancy.

[partymagician]

Someone who is good at using a sword.

[ ... ]

And someone who has money.

[selfconcept]

Too bad we're all in solidarity of being fucking poor right now.

[ But he's been liking this turn of events where money isn't needed so he doesn't have to be too much of a hobo. ]

Sword is a really common weapon too.

[ He squints at the sword. Maybe he can try to match the aesthetics. ]

[partymagician]

Mm, it is.

[ He wonders if they'll even be able to guess who it might belongs to... Hm. ]

I suppose we'll need to put out a message for that too.

[ Fai goes back into his boxes finding some more hot sauce shirts and another text-to-speech device. He just sets those aside without comment. ]

[selfconcept]

[ He notices the hot sauce shirts. Boy... ]

Maybe they're taunting you.

[partymagician]

[ He balls one of the shirts up and throws it right at Hien's face. ]
