theafflicted | 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. )

[ he sure is! ]

Yeah, seems more your style.

[ THANKS? ]

How does this seem to be more my style?

[ he'll chuck it back at ace. what are you even implying with the butt pillow?! ]

[ yw ♥ ]

Isn't that obvious?

[ yeah, he has no real reason, but he doesn't want to think he got it for any particular reason, either. ]

No, it isn't.

[ tossing it back towards ace. i guess they can play hot potato with the pillow. but really??? butts??? ]

Explain it to me.

[ yeah, they're just going to be throwing asses at each other. no big deal. ]

You've got a good imagination. Sure you can come up with something.

[ this is awful, actually. ]

Why do I have to come up with something when you can just tell me.

[ honestly, yeah. ]

Because it's more fun that way.

[ hmm...throwing it a bit harder at ace. ]

I think it's more that you don't have a good reason for it.

[ throwing back just a bit harder in return. ]

That's a boring answer.

[ again, returning the throw with a bit more finesse. ]

Sometimes the truth is boring, Ace.

[ whips it back with more gusto. ]

And sometimes lies are boring, Sabo.

[ fine, he's going to hold onto the butt pillow for a moment then do a fake out throw. ]

Yeah, like the one you're telling me right now.

[ the faking lands sabo a hit on ace's face. so for the moment, he's holding the pillow in his lap. ]

Not at all.

Fine, pretending that you do have a good reason, then is this a compliment of some sort?

[ you know...about his butt? or....that ace has a good butt?? is this a safe direction to take this conversation??? ]

[ this is absolutely not a safe direction, but it's a direction, nonetheless. ]

Now you're starting to think about it. [ hehehe. ] Maybe it is.

Are you complimenting me then?

[ since, well, ace told him that it suits him? i mean if ace wants to compliment him in such a round about way then...its fine?

does not think about the implications??? mainly because this is fake?? yeAH?? ]

Yeah, why not?

[ that's totally the reason he said what he said. absolutely. (though, it's probably more like "ass" = "sabo" was more the loose reasoning to be a shit. but he's going down this route with sabo instead. okay. ]

Then I definitely don't want it.

[ cheerfully said and the fact that ace still has the pillow will be good enough as casually readjusts his clothes. ]

I think it would suit you best, after all, whatever this is supposed to compliment me for I bet would also work just as well for you.
