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. )

no subject
( she can leave if she needs- he looks so overwhelmed... )
no subject
[... what was she even offering that he didn't need? He can't even remember. Either way, he says lying down, and grabs the pillow from the top of the bed to hold onto and hug.]
... we can keep... talking...
[He's just gonna stay horizontal for it.]
no subject
( which... might end up happening anyways, with why she came here.
sitting down again, shizuku puts her hands on her lap and lets a soft quiet settle for just a moment. )
Idia? Could... I ask who Ortho is?
no subject
[he glances up at her, a little surprised by the question, but not uncomfortable]
Ortho is my little brother. That... thing, [the ghoul,] imitated his voice... ... t- to be honest, I did really believe for a second that maybe he'd come to get me.
[Ortho was that strong, after all. Because he made him that way.]
no subject
( his little brother... what if they had tried using shiho...? clutching the pendant of her necklace, shizuku shudders for a moment. )
I can't blame you. Had they tried with my little sister's voice, I would have fallen for it too.
no subject
M'lady Shizuku is team big sibling, too... It suits you.
[In his eyes, maybe Shizuku read more as "big sibling" than he did. When Ortho was around he really hoped he looked it but. It's not like people looked at just him and thought "yes, that's definitely someone I would trust having responsibility over younger children."]
no subject
( shizuku sounds warm as she speaks, leaning back a little. there's a lot of little context clues she's missing entirely, honestly- sometimes the joy of Little Siblings just takes over. )
Tell me about Ortho!
no subject
Eh? A- About Ortho? [he's pulled away from New Idol Factoid,]
[There's a dark place he could take "tell me about Ortho" but there was always the dichotomy when that question was asked. It was a dichotomy that Idia specifically drug his finger through to make it less distinct. Ortho was Ortho, he would think, ignoring key details.]
... w- well. He's really cute. H- He always wants to play games with me, a- although nowadays we have to find ways to make it fair...
[you know, considering Ortho could literally be TASbot if he wanted]
no subject
( so cute! )
I hope I get to meet him.
no subject
... m- maybe? The ability to travel between worlds... it's not a kind of magic that's widely known...
[... but...]
... but it has happened...
no subject
( because it's super a thing here. and it's something she wants access to. ... hmmm... )
no subject
[he shrugs his shoulders]
And it seems like the headmage takes them seriously and doesn't think they're just crazy...
no subject
( shizuku pauses, crossing her arms as she thinks. )
... I don't want to have to say goodbye to any of you.
no subject
[... at a certain point, goodbye was inevitable, wasn't it?]
You're really kind, M'lady Shizuku.
[Maybe, if all that happens, he can at least send Ortho along if it's too late for him.]
no subject
( if anything, she feels like it's selfish honestly. wanting to cross worlds, mix them together because she doesn't want to say goodbye like a child might... )
... It's because the friends I've made are wonderful, more than anything on my part I think.
