pura | week four curfew but we all bully zetsu

[when she is not fussing over the baby like everyone else, she's taken a seat at one of the tables, picking a little bit at a cinnamon roll. her vibes are both restless and worried. we are all doing great here.]

Hi, Vin.

[he's just chilling, eating a little mini lemon cake.]

How are you doing?

...I'm alright.

[glancing towards meteion for a moment.]

Worried, but I think we all are.

Yeah.

[a glance at meteion. there's a little bit of worry, but it's smothered.]

Let's just, uh...best thing we can do to help is generate an atmosphere conducive to healing. That's the difficult thing and the beautiful thing about this week. The effect our feelings have on others is always there, but a little bit more tangible at the moment.

Oh - you're right, I hadn't thought about that...

[trying to chill. it is mildly effective, maybe.]

[good. projecting some nice calm.]

A little rest will do everyone some good, too. [even if it's. murder rest.]

...I'd probably agree on any other night.

Okay, I'll give you that, it's not altogether a great situation.

But I think it's sort of sweet how you all know by now you'll get locked in, so you get a little group together and make a fun night of it instead of just staying in your apartment and trying to bolt the door shut or something crazy like that.

I don't see how it would make a difference to be alone...

Exactly. Much better to pass the time with some friends and have a little adventure.

[glancing around.]

This is an adventure...?

I've never thought about sleeping in a cafe before.

You're a bit easy to please, aren't you?

[she says that, but there's a little feeling of fondness.]

I try not to be difficult. Though I would like it if people would bleed a bit less around here.

[does that make him difficult...]

[she snorts]

I doubt you are alone in that.

Probably not. It is nice to get to see all of you tonight, though. Sometimes, when you come back all injured, we're not sure how to help.

I guess we're in the same boat in that way, at least.

[The vibes are immaculate. It's fine. Nogiku is just messing with the espresso machine now, frowning.]

Do you want something to drink with that?

[she nods, but:]

Only if you were going to make it anyways.

[A nod.]

I want to learn how this machine works while we wait, so...

[ hi she has a chocolate croissant ]

You are concerned? Do not take this as questioning. You have a right to be.

[after a moment, she nods.]

I am.

About what exactly? Putting it to words may help.

What we will wake up to find tomorrow, mostly.

[the vibes... they worsen...]

And if you wake up, and the worst has happened, what will you plan to do? I find it easier to thing of things in this way. Instead of allowing myself to imagine the possibilities, I will strategize about the ways in which I may act.
