weekend 0, saturday, swamp

[turbulency]

[ (shrek voice) my swamp

geto is just giving the stupid white flats they were given a baleful look. hi aqua. ]

These aren't great for exploring.

[keeper]

[ SWOMP! very funny because this is also where she met gojo. ]

The robes are pretty inconvenient, too.

[ the hem of hers is probably splattered with mud and grass stains by now... yuck. ]

Do you think we'll find our clothes somewhere around here?

...Not here, here.

[turbulency]

... In the swamp? I hope not.

[ and then the swamp immediately starts to bubble and boxes appear ]

W0 MONDAY

[keeper]

[ i'm dying squirtle

aqua is sitting by the pyre, gazing into the open flame.

ink travels up her arms: I'm losing this fight. The darkness has found the cracks in my heart. ]

[turbulency]

[ AQUAAAA

anyway, geto probably wanted to disassociate by the fire too, sitting next to her. he doesn't notice the words until he's already sitting, and then, reads them over before he realizes what he's doing. ]

Ah- my bad.

[ oops ]

[keeper]

[ it's fine...!

she doesn't realize just yet what he's apologizing for, but catches on and shakes her head. ]

It's all right. They're just words, and it's not like you put them there.

[ she does place a hand over her arm, though. she's been doing that a lot today. ]

...I'd think kidnapping us as sacrifices would be enough trouble, but it seems they'll looking to toy with us, too. [ she frowns. ]

[ I FORGOT ABOUT MY BACKDATED THREAD BUT NOW I'M DROWNINGGGG

[keeper]

[ HELP now he can't get the love arrow deets... ]

...Not really. Are you?

[turbulency]

[ maybe he will... ]

... No better or worse. [ :grimacing: ] It's kind of normal for me.

[ this is still a shower pc actually, but nobody is naked i am sorry to say... aqua is just looking around one of the vacant and unlocked houses and happens to come across the bathroom... uwooooohhhh ]

He blinks at her. ]

[turbulency]

I'm alright. Banged up, but that's all.

[keeper]

[ CONCERN! ]

How did you all end up like this in the first place?

[ just sits next to him wherever he is. ]

week 2, monday

[turbulency]

[ Hello, Aqua. The shadows appear around you, and take you to a cold, terrible morgue.

You saw Haibara a few days ago, and now he's dead. He was one year younger than you.

Behind you, you can hear the heartbreak and betrayal in Nanami's voice. They were sent on a mission that was impossible for them to complete, because cursed spirits are plenty, but sorcerers are scarce. Nanami asks why they can't leave every battle to Satoru, as if he could be everywhere all at once. As if he deserved a life of nothing but violence.

But you can't blame him either. It's the responsibility that goes along with your power, and if you would give anything for a different reality, you just have to bear it. ]

[keeper]

[ Sorry, but death is ugly in most places. It's actually kind of nightmare inducing.

maybe she doesn't remember those words verbatim, but she understands that sentiment clearly, now. she's left with the stench of death, cold and coppery, the dark color of fatigue smudged under her eyelids.

another sacrifice. another drop of blood in the ocean that's already been spilled.

fortunately the memory withdraws itself before it can settle like a stain. but... she's worried. ]

...I'm sorry.

[ she won't ask if he's okay. she could feel that he wasn't. ]

week 2, friday

[turbulency]

[ Hello Aqua. If he spots her around, he'll just wander over... ]

Hey. How're you holding up?

[keeper]

[ she's by the pyre! she's!! not doing great!! ]

...We've lost too many people.

How do you bear it...?

week 2, saturday, pyre

[turbulency]

[ Hello, Geto approaches. ]

Did you get to make a wish, at least?

[keeper]

[ she regards him with a cold gaze. she is still in full transformation, with antlers on her head, and dark scales on her arms and legs where the shadows are. ]

That's none of your concern.

W6 WEDNESDAY

[keeper]

[ lol

ANYWAY! they can have a romantic (platonic) stroll through the vineyard... ]

...I wish I could taste these grapes. They look delicious.

[turbulency]

[ lol ]

You don't have grapes on the other side?
