week 0 monday

[halians]

[ we're in the basement

strohl's prodding at the edge of one of the trash piles with his greatsword, poking out... the broken, sparkly, useless katana piece... hikari are you here... and kind of looking at the hangman. ]

About as dead end as dead end can be.

[ airport nightmare ]

[nascens]

They took the garbage literally, I see.

[He's just standing at the door with no desire to get closer to the trash, even if there might be some interesting stuff in there. THE WHOLEASS HIKARI.]

Someone's going to end up dying here.

[halians]

Not me. Not a bloody chance that I'm ending anything in a trash chute.

[ THATS TOO HUMILIATING!!!!! NO!!!!!!

he takes a step back from the Pile TM. ]

This place's a nightmare.

week 0 friday

[halians]

[ the nickname died with essek...........

anyway we're here! strohl is standing at one of the airport screens, hands on his hips, tapping his foot and staring. when he spots scara, he gives him a sup nod. ]

Just like that, it starts.

[nascens]

[THE NICKNAME DIED WITH ESSEK. HE REALLY DID THAT AND THEN DIED. He does not make any motions to return the greeting but meanders over nonetheless.]

Truly like clockwork. The feeling compelled to return to the lounge was new, though.

[halians]

[ actually YOU KNOW YEAH!!! MAKES A FACE ]

Yeah, and - what the hell was that, anyhow?!

w0 sat NOT THIS SHITPOST

[nascens]

[They can be on the terrace because he needs fresh air or he'll start biting people. He's just hanging out, vibing, looking toward the tarmac.]

Wonder if he saw any of that.

it felt right

[halians]

[ god him too. strohl's just sitting, looking a little agitated but mostly in a post-trial way over anything. he glances over, then back out. ]

Thyless, you mean?

w1 thurs!

[nascens]

[AAAAA NOT THE WAY I MISSED SO MANY PLURK NOTIFS SOMEHOW WAHT DA HAEL well this is fine. At some point before curfew but after the return of the cyoas, he's just sitting in the gate area, drumming his fingers against his chin and gazing out at the void. Whenever he spots, Strohl, he just says:]

Did you have these things?

week 2, monday

[halians]

[ BABYGIRL WE ARE STRUGGLING

ANYWAY YAY ITS WEEK 2 SHAKES we're here in the hot springs area - strohl's in the midst of toweling off his hair after a dip, and he glances up when he spots scaramouche and gives him a sup nod. hey lil guy. ]

Sort of nice to see the outdoors again, isn't it.

[nascens]

[SHAKES AND GRIPS YOU WAHT DA HAEL WE'RE CRUMBLING.

But hello, he's a different color scheme today and is fully dressed in this hot springs area, just kind of surveying it. Not making any attempts to actually go for a dip just yet. He'll nod in greeting, though!]

I don't mind it, even though the actual outdoors would be ideal.

week 2 sunday

[halians]

[ OUR LITTLE EXECUTIONER.... anyway hey strohl's gonna come find him at some point, and give him a sup nod. hey man. ]

... Shouki. Got a second?

[nascens]

[LITTLE GRAPE EXECUTIONER MAN WHO JUST WALTZED OUT IN ONE PIECE. Smelling like smoke and ozone but it's fine... He seems to be in an alright mood, all things considered, and nods in response.]

What is it?

week 3, monday

[halians]

[ throws us into a memory we're in the void

anyway scaramouche can see not the memory i initially planned on giving him, but rather, the awakening of a warrior. stop at 4:20! blaze it. ]

[nascens]

[WE'RE IN THE VOID..... 420 BLAZE IT!!!!

The way there's so much happening in this memory but he's also just like WHY THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT HUMANS SO WEIRDLY on top of everything else. But the actual person in front of them who so callously can't even remember the name of the village whose destruction he had a hand in - that's all familiar. Familiar behavior from familiar people. Hateful, awful creatures, human or otherwise.

Leon gets to look cool just punching out his own heart microphone about it, but the first thing he says after the memory begins to recede is a simple:]

Did he suffer?

w3 thurs

[nascens]

[GRIPS YOU LIKE GRAPE where hemst... i assume first aid area but i dont know his wild clown life]

[halians]

[ can you imagine if i said he wasn't. no he's been shamed into staying in first aid so that is where strohl is! laying on the pillows, beat to shit, with this sitting up on his chest.

he glances up when he hears footsteps - strohl jr who is also here squeaks and makes his way over. ]

...Shouki. I've a tip for you - if you can avoid being swept off... to someone else's life on a random day of the week, you ought to. [ DEADPAN but also why are you joking rn ]

w3 sat!

[nascens]

[He's out on the flight deck getting that sweet sweet fresh air after so long of being in the airport. HE HATES SATURDAYS AND CONTINUES TO HATE SATURDAYS!! But he'll glance over whenever Strohl meanders out this way.]

It would be less unbearable if we could just come and go throughout the day as we pleased.

[halians]

[ this is later in the day for my sake and scara i think. some of the desperation and hurt has finally passed now that the verdict's dropped, and strohl's out here to get fresh air as well, looking thunderous and stormy but at least like, functional.

and there's the baby grape... he scoffs, dryly. ]

Would you even show?

w4 mon!

[nascens]

[IT'S HELL.

He's just standing here with his arms crossed over his chest, surveying the city.]

Feels like it's been longer than a month.

[halians]

[ god. WELCOME TO HELL literal ]

Too right. [ with a dry snort. god. a whole month here. ] Twice as long as we were at the resort, now.

... You know, this is not exactly what I expected of Hell. The Sanctists'd be having a field day.

week 5, mon

[halians]

[ welcome... to the ranch! that's where we are. it's touch grass time.


strohl's milking a cow. that's my tl. he's sitting here on a stool, coat shed, sleeves rolled up, milking a cow. ]

[nascens]

[THIS IS SO FUNNY. He is (nat voice) milking (normal)...

Scaramouche just kind of pauses on his way by, since he likes this place decently, too. The vibes are faintly curious.]

You'd think some of you are trying to put an actual farmstead together here.

w7 sat!

[nascens]

[IT'S ENDGAME IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOBY he'll just nod to Strohl as he's between locations.]

Ready to be done with this place.

[halians]

You and I both.

[ hear hear my guy ]

What’s awaiting you when you return, Shouki?
