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. )

That's like making a screwdriver no longer being able to screw things.

[ Kitty on his head... he enjoys this. But then he goes on over to Luci's room to drop off ankle-stabber. ]

Oh, I have an idea. You like thrills?

[totalcatastrophe]

But his name is ankle-stabber, not rug--you know what, nevermind.

[ Mumbled into his hair. But his ears perk up the mention of thrills. Not bothering to hide his interest-- ]

What kind of thrills are we talking?

[selfconcept]

Swinging on ropes, jumping from roof to roof, that kinda stuff.

[ Parkour!!! ]

[totalcatastrophe]

If you're asking if I can hold on while you do all that, then hell yeah.

[ Luci is just avoiding activity and doesn't sound like he expects Hien to run off. But at the same time, he hunkers down and pats Hien's head like a horse anyway. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien doesn't mind the patting, but like. Yeah. ]

Of course I'm gonna be the one to do it. Though if you could do it too, that would be pretty cool, honestly.

[ Luci the parkouring devil cat. Amazing. He'd pay to see it. Anyway, he gets out his grappling hook gun and starts making his way outside. ]

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Luci cranes his neck to look at the gun, openly curious. This will probably be almost as fun as crashing an airship. ]

You'd love using that thing in Hell.

[ He resists an excited death wiggle but besides his fun getting caught jumping off the roof, this would be pretty close. ]

[selfconcept]

This?

[ He lifts the hook gun. ]

Are there a lot of landscapes in hell that allow that sort of thing? Or are you saying that it's more fun to shoot it at people?

[totalcatastrophe]

Both. But, yeah, gravity in Hell shifts. Could grappling hook your face right into dirt if you're not careful. Or stone.

Way harder than doing it in this reality.

[ Luci goes quiet after that grumble. He can't flatten himself like back home, but he's sure he can a little more if Hien's any good. Ears forward, ready. ]

[selfconcept]

The gravity shift could be fun to play with.

[ But he understands how that could hurt. A lot. Anyway, he shoots the hook up so that he can climb the rope up eventually to the top of the dorm building. It doesn't take long, and Hien seems well-practiced. Maybe that will help Luci feel reassured?

But then he reels the gun back once he reaches the top, walks a short distance away, and dashes—leaping off the building. He shoots the hook to latch onto the next building over and lands on the wall on his feet. Phew. They're almost parallel to the ground. ]

[totalcatastrophe]

Yea-haha--

[ Luci laughs excitedly even as Hien might feel his whole little body tense down on his head. He wishes he could squish down even more at first, but he decides this is almost better, air over his fur.

Almost like flying. God, he misses his wings. When Hien pauses, he doesn't move closer to ask-- ]

So, this like your hobby? Or you get that bored here already?

[selfconcept]

Yeah, this is a hobby of mine.

[ With how parallel they are to the ground, he starts walking up the wall in the same position with the help of the hook gun. ]

Sometimes you just gotta make your own fun around here.
