week zero, saturday.

[pura]

[Well. Guess they're running into each other at the temple... again. Nogiku is chilling on the bridge this time, silently watching the river below. What's up?]

[slashay]

[What's up, lass. Kashuu just sort of moseys over, leaning over the railing to peer down at the river below.]

It's almost kinda calming if you ignore all the, y'know. [GESTURES.] Everything falling apart and being colorless and still being kidnapped parts of it.

week zero, thursday.

[pura]

[everyone here is so anti-carnival

Anyway, sorry about your temple? But the meeting hall is here now, and Nogiku is taking a walk through the gardens outside, looking pretty entranced by it. This is nice. There is no angry lesbian bride trying to kill them, for one...]

[slashay]

[Carnival (derogatory)...

Kashuu likes the meeting hall too, though! Even if he misses the temple vibes... At least it's familiar aesthetic, too, so he's busy poking around the space himself. When he gets to one of the outdoor-facing areas, he spots her in the garden and waves!]

Hiya! Pretty nice step up, huh?

week one, monday.

[pura]

[Oh, thank god. Laundry day isn't going to be a whole ass ordeal anymore. Beautiful. Nogiku seems to be in the middle of picking out some basic closet staples... which, honestly, just means she has a bunch of plain white shirts and jeans with her.

She pauses when she notices him.]

... Hey.

[slashay]

[The amount of people who were just like "do I be clean or do I do laundry every day, this is a genuinely tough call" about this...

Kashuu's bouncing over to her with a little wave after spotting her, though!]

Hiya! Picking out some new stuff for your closet? [He's trying to get a peek... WHY ARE THESE SO PLAIN.] Huh...

w1 fri

[slashay]

[Well that was a whole lot of escalation in one short period of time!! It's not that Kashuu is surprised that someone eventually died - things had been escalating pretty steadily from the previous party, after all. But boy is he still smad about it!! Sometimes you bond fast, and sometimes you force a human to be your senpai because you think it's funny and then they die about it.

He's sitting on the edge of the meeting hall and looking out into the garden with a somewhat difficult to read expression, but he'll still nod when he spots Nogiku.]

So much for hoping things'd be fixed in the morning.

[pura]

[She clicks her tongue, tired and frustrated and sad all at once.]

It was stupid to ever hope at all.

[She joins him on the edge, though a respectable distance away.]

... But he really did seem like he would be just fine yesterday.

week one, saturday.

[pura]

[Welcome to the void. Nogiku is just kind of vibing out here, quietly staring at her hands like they hold the secret of why the Prism is homophobic.]

[slashay]

[WHY IS THE PRISM HOMOPHOBIC, HOT DAMN. Kashuu would also like to know the lore.

He will join her in quietly staring for a second though, except he's just kind of staring into middle space, spacing out, himself.]

...Well. The guys who were thinking people's heads got messed with were definitely right.

week two, sunday.

[pura]

[First thing she does after running into him at the rooftop? Silently and pointedly stare at his leggy. Did you get medical attention, binch?]

[slashay]

[HIS LEGGY IS GONE. Nah it looks fine; he's barely favoring it. He glances off to the side for a second, though, before:]

...Thanks. [For being concerned yesterday when he was still in FERAL RACCOON MODE.] I'm not used to having to be so careful with this body.

week three, monday.

[pura]

[Nogiku walks into the theater.









... Nogiku walks out of the theater, a look of disgust on her face.]

[slashay]

[Wouldn't that be funny if he just was like "HELLO" and let her escape.

BUT NO, he's surprised enough by that reaction to come trailing out after her...]

You okay? Haven't seen anyone make a face like that in here yet.

[re memshare GIMME... maybe inanimate objects/trampled it or whatever you think will fit their cr best!! no tws here so no worries. and lmk if u have any prefs!]

w3 thurs

[slashay]

[WELL. He's been giving a head's up by Yasusada who was in the first group, at least... At some point, he'll be making his way over to wherever she is, sitting down nearby. Now that the adrenaline's worn off, he's clearly favoring a leg, but at least he isn't rekt like so many of yall furries.]

You too, huh? I heard.

[pura]

[She's resting on one of the medbay beds, so he likely didn't need to go too far to find her. Her wounds are bandaged up and not actively bleeding.]

... Yes. What rotten luck, isn't it?

w3 sat

[slashay]

[THEY CAN BE in the void or perhaps in the greenhouse if Nogiku would stop by! Kashuu's just vibing in any case, about as much as someone can vibe when they look like they have a headache and are about to flop over from exhaustion.

He'll nod whenever he sees Nogiku, though.]

...We did an even worse job this time, huh? Somehow.

[IF PERCY HADN'T CONFESSED THEY'D BE DOOMED.]

[pura]

[She usually vibes on the rooftop, so the greenhouse works. Nogiku just looks tired, smelling of cigarette smoke.]

... We were getting there, I think. We just never seem to have enough time.

w3 sun

[slashay]

[Rooftop greenhouse it is! Kashuu is here, very aggressively planting seeds because he really needs to use his hands right now so his overflow of anger doesn't hit too harshly. He'll pause when he spots Nogiku, though - and after a second:]

...Wanna help?

[pura]

[Very proud of Kashuu's coping mechanisms. Nogiku smells strongly of cigarette smoke, which isn't... great. But it could be worse, probably.]

...

[She nods.]

What do you need?

w4 mon

[slashay]

[IT'S......... beach time. Kashuu's out here vibing with all of his skin covered and wearing an enormous sunhat and glasses, but at the same time, the vibes he's radiating are pretty good! He seems content here, though there's perhaps just the faintest bit of melancholy lingering beneath. When he spots Nogiku, he'll wave.]

You ever been to the beach before?

[pura]

[Kashuu really came out here to be a model, huh? Nogiku on the other hand, just wearing a plan t-shirt and a pair of capris. The vibes are... complicated.]

... Yes, a number of times. Have you?

w4 sat

[slashay]

[SO THAT TRIAL HAPPENED. Kashuu's vibes are tired and frustrated and generally just displeased with everything, because he likes Atsushi! And also! One of them might become a goat tomorrow!!!

But for now, he's just sat in the gardens by the meeting hall, recovering a bit after a whole day of That. Whenever he spots Nogiku, he'll nod!]

--Ah, right. The luminol thing.

[pura]

[Kashuu is a mood. As Nogiku approaches him to sit nearby, he will sense a muddled of emotions. Anxiety, fear, sorrow and anger, all balled into one.]

We did agree to talk about that later. It's... really a shame you couldn't use it.

w5 mon

[slashay]

[I BULLY YOU INTO THE PILLOW FORT because Kashuu lives here now, as evidenced by the fact that he is literally just completely buried in pillows and blankets whenever she comes to check the space out. Only his head is visible... He looks very cozy, like a swaddled cat, though he perks up when Nogiku appears.]

Oh-- heya! Coming to check out the new stuff?

[pura]

[Judging by the look on her face, Nogiku is extremely baffled by the pillow fort.]

Yeah... What's this?

w5 sun

[slashay]

[They're up on the roof in the greenhouse! Are there even any flowers here anymore... This is hilarious and hateful. Kashuu's surveying the place, a basket held in one hand. Compared to the trial, he looks quite pristine today - had, even during the execution. He's cleaned up after their collective TB episode, and any trace of the rough night he'd had has been wiped away by makeup. At the core, Metallics really are similar - they hate Being Perceived.

When he spots Nogiku, he raises his free hand.]

Hey, Nogiku. ...Wanna help? I'm putting some stuff together to leave at the shrine.

[pura]

[Kashuu... She watched him for a moment, eyebrows knitted together in concern, before she nods.]

Yes... Of course. I was thinking of making an offering myself, anyway.

week six, friday.

[pura]

[Nogiku will be found in her usual corner of the rooftop. By this hour of the day, she has a couple of crushed cans by her side, stuffed full of used cigarettes, while she holds a new one to her lips — exhaling smoke. She appears to be holding something in her other hand, staring at it with an expression he can't quite make out.]

[slashay]

[Oh that's funny he's also got something in his hand, but it's easy enough to tell that it's a handkerchief, balled up and slightly bloodied. He'll tuck it into his pocket as he moves over to sit with her, though. Fortunately with his hobbling, he doesn't even have to go out of his way to make sounds to alert people of his presence when he shows up...]

...Mind if I sit here?

week six, saturday.

[pura]

[Somewhere in the void, Nogiku is taking a smoke while staring at the ceiling. Though her hand is bandaged, there's a bit of blood dotting the area around her knuckles.]

[slashay]

[Honestly she deserves to fury punch whatever she wants. Kashuu also looks very full of fury! He pretty much has since the moment Jiuqing mentioned how Itsuki likely died.

As he approaches, somewhat tersely:]

I'll spare Itsuki and kill whoever did that, instead.

[Is. Is he joking.]

w6 sun

[slashay]

[Sometime after cleaning up and tending to any injuries, Kashuu will go looking for Nogiku. He was already fairly certain Danny was the killer even before Sunday, and as soon as Clarte was saved, he had a feeling they would lose him - but he understood Nogiku's gesture, what she meant in her words.

They're all hurting, and ending the life of what had been Danny doesn't really soothe it. But at the very least, he's not as mired in his fury as he had been a day before.

Whenever he spots Nogiku, he'll make his way over, hands folded behind his back.]

...Thanks, Nogiku.

[pura]

[As usual, she's halfway through a cigarette when he finds her. It takes her a second to respond, quietly exhaling smoke before she looks his way, tiredly.]

I don't know that I should be thanked for it.

[Considering a child sure did die. It's not like she regrets getting that confirmation for what they both suspected, but— she didn't want him to die for it, either. And then, even his death hasn't allowed her to shake off her anger.

Well... it is what it is.]

Are you okay, Kiyomitsu-san? I couldn't keep my eyes on the battle for as long as I would've liked.

w7 mon

[slashay]

[After the Furry Reveal, Kashuu is just going to approach Nogiku looking a little harried and guilty somewhere in the void...]

I totally didn't mean that, I was just, like—! Stressed and thought it was the Dreamer again...

[HE DOESN'T EVEN EXPLAIN.]

[pura]

Huh?

[HELLO? She stares at him, flabbergasted.]

Kiyomitsu-san, what are you talking about?

w7 fri

[slashay]

[It has been less than a week since Kashuu's temper has been truly riled and now it's riled worse than it has EVER BEEN in his entire stay here!!! PHEW. This ain't even pre-refraction, it's 100% Kashuu having the bones of a vengeful god.

For now he's just standing in front of the pool at the motel, staring into the middle distance and radiating murderous vibes.]

I think a quick death'd probably be too nice for a guy like that, don't you?

[pura]

[We really keep giving Kashuu reasons to go off the string, huh?

Nogiku joins him, looking into the depths of the pool. She seems agitated, which— you know. It happens when your sweet, beloved NPCs are forcibly transformed into horrible creatures right before you eyes.

So, of course, she nods.]

His entire plan hinged on Revenge's willingness to kill him. Someone like that isn't afraid of death. [Very matter-of-factly, frowning at an eye tattoo that has sprouted on her hand.] I want to see him crawl like a worm. To hear him beg for forgiveness after his hopes, his dreams and ambitious are all torn to shreds right before his eyes. It should be drawn out and painful.

week seven, saturday.

[pura]

[Somewhere out there, looking at the monochrome landscape.]

This seems... familiar, and yet different at the same time.

[slashay]

[Surveying their domain... all the color touches is their kingdom.....]

Yeah... I'm kinda surprised everything turned out the way it did, after all of that.
