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. )

Yeah. The suffering they go throughout the process is worth the tradeoff for them, because to most, being an idol is having a dream come true.

[ That's not even including the fallout post-idol career where they feel like they've done everything with their lives and get depressed. ]

[vivens]

[ let's not talk about that part of the whole idol culture to begin with here because...well. looks at the idols we have here. though he will still have some opinions nevertheless. ]

I wouldn't make judgements on those who want to become idols then. If that's how they're treated, I would rather look more to those who have decided this.

[selfconcept]

Right? It's too bad that it's not all that easy either. I haven't seen an entertainment industry that isn't somehow tied to politics.

[ Of course it's politics. ]

They're good at not making it look like it, I'll give them that much.

[vivens]

I haven't heard of anything that isn't tied to politics.

[ even pirating is wrapped in politics!!! kind of. in a way... either way he'll chuckle quietly as he goes through the motions of setting up his meal with ace. ]

Some people are very good at making the best of an awful situation. Sometimes it's the only way for them to survive. [ ah. ] Not that I think that's the case with the idols we know here.

[ probably...?? ]

[selfconcept]

[ He thinks of Riku and Shizuku, who seem to be the poster children of earnest children to want to be idols with a pure heart. Madara though... Hien can't quite put a finger on it. ]

... I hope that wasn't how you lived for a long time.

[vivens]

[ madara is really a huge question mark when it comes to a few things, but not in a bad way. now as for hien's comment, sabo takes a moment to consider how to respond. given what he has experienced and given what he knows.

hmm. ]

I wouldn't call it a long time.

[selfconcept]

That's good, because that's no way to live.

[ He finishes making his pasta. It's just full of oil, butter, parsley, and something that resembles alfredo sauce. It's edible. Promise. ]

[vivens]

I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

[ sabo has doubts about the creation that hien made, honestly, and he's going to lean over and squint at it. it's not really his room to say something but at the same time it's not like he can't say anything either... ]

...will you be okay with what you're making there?

[ because. you know. that can't be it, right? ]

[selfconcept]

... I know it looks shitty, but rich people would eat this up if I put it in tiny portions.

[ Because that's how fancy restaurants work sometimes. He sounds like he had experience... ]

Low effort, high yield.
