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. )

[ well, that makes sense. he's not sure why tamamori wants to know, but if it'll help make up for what he did... ]
Well, as far as I understand it that's because he got a lot of what he is from me? So it figures we're alike that way. I'm not a sword though, so there's that.
no subject
[Who knows exactly what Tamamori is thinking at this point in time, but he's absolutely missed the memo (if there ever was a memo) about certain people being literally swords and... whatnot...?! Maybe he'll figure this out eventually. Maybe not. For now he blink-blinks in his prone position and chews furiously and thoughtfully on his pen. Hrm, mrgh, hrmghmgh, he seems to be digesting this knowledge--]
Speaking of interesting, did you know your name is Sakamoto Ryouma?? [what kind of question is that, apparently a sincere, if exaggerated one] Some parents out there sure have lofty taste in names! Sakamoto Ryouma hasn't even been dead one hundred years!
no subject
[ time travel sure is a thing?? ]
What year is it when you're from then? I don't look like the pictures in the books, huh? I get that a lot.
[ ryouma came here to apologise but tamamori's whole... everything... makes him feel less awkward, at least. if he's angry at all, he doesn't seem to act like it.
as such, ryouma relaxes into his usual way of being. giving tamamori the answer outright would be too easy
and boring.]no subject
But I suppose you are a familiar of some sort, so maybe it works differently!
[Putting two and fifty together might be a little difficult, especially at this point in time when his peculiar and meager brainmeats have already been working overtime for who knows how long. Still, Tamamori remembers the intriguing things, and so he remembers that.
As for Mutsunokami's own name, well, they do say things get curiouser and curiouser once they start.]
And it is Year 11 of Taisho. [Tamamori taps a finger on his pen, clink, clink] You really get into roles, don't you? Well, not that anyone can talk after last week, but.
[Uncertain what he thinks of Ryouma casting himself as himself, but apparently he'll also just casually and bluntly bring up such things.]
no subject
[ servants are complicated familiars, after all. ]
But it's tricky because I'm not sure how old Mutsu is and I lost track somewhere myself.
[ he waves a hand. the space-time continuum marching on in a linear fashion is one of those things ryouma's just waving off here. as one does. ]
Showing up in completely different time periods all over is part of my job. But I don't think I've ever been to Year 11 of Taisho! Or... Taisho? What was right before that?
[ probably because no one tried to end the world there
yet. also: he's missing chunks of history. that's just a consequence of his particular lifestyle. ]But you really don't believe I am who I say I am?
