07 - the final week
FINAL WEEK
You returned safely from the island, with fresh fruit and plenty of seafood, and your Saturday comes to an end. There was much less betrayal, much less turmoil, this past lesson… but does that mean you’ll have time to relax?
The fog has pulled back, revealing the rest of the university’s campus. ... Actually, the fog is completely gone. Interesting, that. You'll also notice that at night, there are no orbs to be found. It looks like Lorelei was true to her word regarding Saturday's activity being the final orb.
There are also, occasionally, other figures that come into view when you look around. Other figures that look like...people. People you haven't seen before, roaming the streets. Some of them look like they're seeing Estelline for the first time in a long while. Others look like they're exhausted and seem to be making their way towards the Residential Area, presumably to rest. There aren't many of them, come Sunday...but they're here.
The end is finally near – and Lorelei confirms that with another 8am announcement on Sunday. She is also, notably, wearing a more visible set of earrings.
"Good morning, students. I would like to formally congratulate you on surviving these last few weeks. This week should be your last, and I will be dedicating it to your evaluations. I'm aware that you know the nature of this "course" by now, but you will be able to return home soon. Regardless, I thank you for your participation.
You are free to contact me through the phone booth for the next few days. Thank you."

[ Fai grabs some of those pieces and starts chucking them at Hien. ]
no subject
[ Hien swats them down and then shoves all the pieces into his "home" space. ]
I win. Next game.
cw alcohol
You only won by being a big cheater.
cw alcohol
[ Hien gets out another bottle, opens it, and chugs about half of it. Good stuff. ]
cw alcohol
Your tolerance is so high. I already feel drunk.
[ Which means it’s time for him to drink the rest of the bottle. ]
cw alcohol
I don't got my powers. My tolerance isn't that good.
[ He just likes drinking in a huge amount at once. Good thing he doesn't drink often. ]
It's the same for you too, isn't it?
[ He starts unboxing the game and lays it out, putting all the tiny balls in the center of the game. Hien is ready mash the heck out of these eating machines. ]
cw alcohol
Yep. Kuro-sama and I would drink all night and be fine. Now, he’s really the one with the high tolerance, considering he’s human.
[ Fai is… humanesque? He’s not sure.
But he starts mashing one of the buttons at random. ]
cw alcohol
[ He's not sure why, but he gets a strong desire to empty the rest of the bottle even though he just opened it.
So he does just that and mashes the button on his side. EAT THE BALLS!! ]
cw alcohol
[ That probably does something for alcohol, right? Who knows.
Fai starts mashing hard, doing his best to try to beat Hien. ]
cw alcohol
He sets the empty bottle aside and keeps rapidly tapping the button, until he gets fed up with it and flips it over.
(ノ°Д°）ノ︵ ]
no subject
[ Fai pouts at Hien, crossing his arms. ]
no subject
[ There's gonna be so much to clean after... stepping on the small balls will also be a pain too. That's not on Hien's mind right now as he sets aside the flipped game and lies down on the ground. ]
So I win. It's only right.
[ ??? ]
no subject
[ He nudges Hien in the side with his foot. ]
Why’d you knock it over if you wanted to play so bad? Huh?
no subject
[ Hien tries to grab onto Fai's foot. If he's successful, he'll cling onto it. ]
cw alcohol
You’re so funny.
no subject
[ Hien has a better grasp on Fai's ankle now and eventually ends up hugging his leg below the knee. ]
I'm gonna enjoy this... once I'm outta here, a bed is gonna be a luxury.
no subject
[ He gives Hien a strange look as he stops moving his leg around. ]
no subject
no subject
No, I’m sleeping in a bed or a sleeping bag. Either I’ll find us rooms or you’re getting a nice camping set before we go anywhere.
no subject
[ Yeah. At least he has that covered at least. ]
I'm used to sleeping on benches.
no subject
[ But he’s not going to let himself or Hien sleep on benches half the time. ]
My companions and I got used to figuring out money when we went to a different world. I’m confident in doing the same thing all over again.
no subject
[ Hien could just cheat and use his powers, but he really doesn't feel like it when it comes to that. He snuggles with Fai's leg now. This is his. ]
no subject
[ He would let Kurogane and Syaoran deal with the forms, but Fai was always good at finding solutions and the path to securing a place and some income.
He looks down at Hien. ]
Wow, you like my leg a lot, huh?
no subject
[ He closes his eyes. ]
You're so skilled. I'm glad this means I can take a break in doing that...
[ He starts climbing up his leg... it looks ridiculous. ]
no subject
What am I? A tree?
