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. )

Right? [he agrees to the sweetness comment!]

... but I guess people who like bitter things... they get a kind of... mystique to them...

Dark and mysterious, right? Do you think that part of Hien's appeal?

[............. well, when you put it that way, it's a bit embarrassing.]

... w- well, he is... dark and mysterious...
partymagician: (131)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-13 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
In a way, he is.

[ Hmmmmm. ]

He seems more sleepy to me than anything else.

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-13 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
... is it because of the coffee?
partymagician: (64)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-13 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs. ]

Partially. He sleeps in so late that I agreed to bring him coffee every morning, since I'm already over here. After all, he wants to get in as much sleep as he can.

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-13 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
As much sleep as he can...

[Idia tilts his head, considering... maybe some sort of "I need to save my power for the absolute right moment!"]

[(or maybe he's just sleepy)]
partymagician: (35)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-13 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. He's really not a morning person.

[ At all.

Fai even had to drag him to the first lesson... ]

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-14 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I see... I never noticed, since I'm usually recharging at those hours too...

[Or still awake from an all-nighter, although that's happened less often with just... less to work on.]
partymagician: (56)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, a late sleeper too! Do you stay up late, Idia?

[ Fai won’t judge him if he does. ]
ignihidden: (💀CXXXVII)

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
If it's necessary, I won't sleep at all!

[he says that proudly, like, sometimes it's just what's needed to finish a project! ... or roll a gacha game immeditely to max the SSR before class!]
partymagician: (45)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-15 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That's no good! You need to be careful of your health, Idia. I wouldn't want you to get sick from lack of sleep.

[ Not on his watch! Although, it's a bit hypocritical on Fai's part, as he tends to stay up late from time to time too. Except, he does it for no reason at all. ]
ignihidden: (💀CXXXXIII)

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-15 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He does seem to shrink a little at the offered concern. People? Nice to me??]

D- Don't worry, I sleep plenty too... Just at different hours...
partymagician: (149)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-15 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ That makes Fai ease off a little. ]

Alright. So long as you’re getting rest, I won’t take issue with the time that you get it.
ignihidden: (💀CXXXXIII)

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-15 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Saturday's the only day we have class, s- so I can sleep whenever I like...

[Nothing is stopping him from being a true sleep goblin.]
partymagician: (92)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-15 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm… I suppose that’s true!

[ He nods. That’s acceptable. ]

Is it good rest? You’re still young, so good rest is an important factor in growing up well.

[ Sounding like an old man… ]

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-15 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He does! He absolutely sounds like some sort of parent... or teacher...]

I- I mean... as good as it could be, c- considering? I'm used to sleeping with more of a... white noise...

[The sound of a dozen humming machines or so. Blue light from screens even when he's in bed.]

... and alone.

[Look, he is here getting breakfast for his roomie but he's still emotionally destroyed to not have a solo room.]
partymagician: (35)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-15 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, having a roommate is quite the adjustment, isn’t it?

[ Fai’s used to it, thanks to traveling. And honestly, he sleeps better when he isn’t alone. It’s comforting, having another presence there, a few feet away. ]

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-16 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
And a super social guy, too...

[Although, you know, he's starting to see a bit more depth there. All the depth in the world didn't change his mind about the door being open for multiple hours a day.]
partymagician: (57)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-16 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You don’t like that he’s social?

[ Fai can see how that could be somewhat bothersome, especially for someone like Idia. ]
ignihidden: (💀CXXXI)

[personal profile] ignihidden 2022-06-17 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He can be social but it's not like I'm going to become social by association. Having the door open all the time drains my MP hardcore.

[... ah, he's getting too relaxed and peppering in more lingo-!]

I, um. It's... bothersome.
partymagician: (38)

[personal profile] partymagician 2022-06-17 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's true...

[ He has no idea what MP means, but it makes sense. ]

Do you have anywhere here you can go for some time to yourself? I wonder if that would help.
