week 0, monday

[ravenry]

[ if shoma goes into a simulation room today, a chicken will jump at his face.

it's a pretty ineffectual attack because this chicken is more plump than fierce, but the intent is there. ]

[solesuccess]

[ HELLO?

okay the thing is that shoma is a city kid? he was raised in tokyo, and now simulation or not, the fact that there is a chicken flying at his face means there is definitely an emotional vibe of "WHAT THE FUCK."

also, he yells and blocks his face on instinct. so i guess they're now even. ]

[ravenry]

Xingxing doesn't listen to anyone.

[ that is a poor apology, but shouxue is running to grab the bird. she is doing her best, but her best is that the wings are still flapping everywhere.

the environment that comes with the bird is palace courtyard. ]

w0 friday

[solesuccess]

[ well. i cannot believe aki and pixi are allowed to do things.

friday has been Something already, and yet shoma's emotional vibes seem to be neutral at best, thoughtful a little as he seems to be pacing the ship. he's in a hallway somewhere, seemingly walking around with roboji wheeling around behind him but he comes to an abrupt halt when he notices someone in his path. ]

Oh. Sorry. [ hi. welcome to death. ]

[ravenry]

[ we must destroy that entire household.

her mood is more or less fine, and she looks that way, too. she is by no means pleased, but perhaps she is too used to death in one way or another. ]

It is fine. [ she doesn't want to welcome death. ] I don't expect anyone to be as they usually are today.

[solesuccess]

[ sometimes...death happens. also for flavor ig he's also in a black bomber jacket that is. extremely big on him, the arms baggy and half-hiding an orange css eudora patch and it's hard to put his hands in his pockets when they're buried in fabric. ]

I would be a little concerned if they were. Even if some of us probably suspected something like this would happen.

week 0, post trial

[ravenry]

[ she is looking for him wherever he is. her emotions are quiet, but she is mostly here to see how he is doing or feeling. ]

[solesuccess]

[ he's at the observation deck, probably to get away from the majority of people. he thinks a lot of people might avoid it here since luke died and dahut and scien were also here, but that benefits him fine. he's mostly looking out the window, not really moving. there's no roboji either, just him.

his own emotions are fluctuating between something a little upset and a little thoughtful, mostly quiet all the same though. but he hears footsteps and turns his head to face her. ]

...hi. [ he likes her enough that she at least gets a greeting instead of being outright ignored like he's tempted to do with some people. ] Kind of a mess of a day, huh?

[ravenry]

[ no roboji? that is a little concerning, and her concern ripples through her emotional quiet. the way she also chose the observation deck in other pcs because she has no qualms about going where someone has died before. ]

... A little. It was concerning in a lot of ways. [ ... ] Will you answer if I ask how you are?

[ she saw his break down towards the end of trial. ]

week 1, sunday

[ravenry]

[ their paranoia was unfounded, and it was just depressing. sometimes, a girl needs to eat her depression away, so shouxue can be found walking out of omegamart with a selection of food.

she's adjusting the bags on her arms for more comfort as she walks. ]

[solesuccess]

[ sees my comment never went through that is fine. anyway. mood? mood. depression is rampant on this ship today, and it means that shoma's out walking around just to keep moving and try to outpace his thoughts. but when shouxue steps out of omegamart he pauses to wait for her. ]

...want some help? [ ma'am, your bags. ]

[ravenry]

[ once upon a time, she used to be someone who did everything on her own. today, she offers him one bag.

it is full of sweet pastries. she has a terrible sweet tooth. ]

You can have one.

[ the bag but also something from inside the bag. she doesn't know his preferences. ]

w2 saturday

[solesuccess]

[ he will wait a little while to give her time with other people and whatnot, but he does eventually come by her cell. he doesn't really sit or anything, but he does pause long enough to look at her. ]

...do you mind the company? Or would you like to be alone for right now?

[ravenry]

[ she is seated like her icon. ]

You may stay. I will not refuse anyone tonight.

[solesuccess]

[ he will have a seat on the ground then. ]

A brave choice, considering. I'm sure a lot of people are going to have a lot of things to say or want to ask or want to do for you. [ ... ]

How are you holding up right now?

week 4, wednesday

[ravenry]

[ whether or not they go flying, the octopuff will finally speak once they're more alone. ] Hello, Shoma.

[solesuccess]

[ they can be in the air for this. observing the art of paintball, perhaps. but he's hovering in the air and turns his head a little to look at her. ]

Hi. I was wondering when you'd speak up. [ he had a few guesses to who this may have been before, and he knew it was a friend, so to speak, but everything else was a mystery. ] It's good to see you...eeeeven if it's like this.

[ravenry]

... I didn't want to talk in front of others. [ she's a little embarrassed to be an octopuff. ] I didn't expect to see you again so soon, even like this. [

week 6, saturday

[ravenry]

[ everyone is alive!

once all the reunions are done, she'll seek shoma out. ]

Will you take me to your favorite place?

[solesuccess]

Of course. You've missed a lot of pretty decent places, but...I think there's one you'll like. [ a pause. ] You're not claustrophobic or anything, right?

[ravenry]

[ she shakes her head. ]

You don't have to worry about that with me. Lead the way.

w7 monday

[solesuccess]

[ it's the observation deck today, and shoma's sitting down looking out the large window to eyeball the vines that have dug themselves right into the ship. he doesn't look very pleased with what he sees out there, a deep frown etched into his features, but he hears footsteps and turns after a moment. ]

Oh, Shouxue. Morning. Did you see this?

[ravenry]

Good morning, Shoma.

[ she frowns, too, when she realizes what he means. ]

For a planet that wants to be enticing and make everything pleasant, it could have been gentler. We're going to have to figure out what to do soon, aren't we?

week 7, saturday

[ravenry]

[ they did it!! so of course her arms are full of baozi.

unfortunately, she is more reasonable than that. she has a little takeout box full of bao. ]

Try some with me, Shoma.

[ the ship might be damaged, but the food is still here (probably). ]

[solesuccess]

[ i would absolutely believe she was just carrying them in her arms, but he does seem amused seeing the box. i refuse to think we're going to starve, so food is real. ]

I'm honored you're willing to share your favorites. [ haha. but he takes one out of the box to take a bite out of. ] After today, I think we all earned a little treat or two. [ or twenty. whichever. ]
