weekend 0, saturday, abandoned theatre

[turbulency]

[ staring at the dried up clown face paint ]

They're really going the extra mile to make everything about this place extra creepy.

[undread]

I know!

[she seems thrilled! also, waving, suspecting he may not have noticed he's talking to a corpse woman. she's also extra creepy by design.]

Isn't it adorable?

week 0; monday

[undread]

[laudna can be found on monday down by the water, sticking her hand in the nasty water to collect leeches. she's wearing a gown, and she has black ink all over her body in the shape of tree branches, mimicking the branch pattern on the lace of her dress. words occasionally appear in the branches. right now, the phrase matilda is dead is visible.]

Good morning!

[turbulency]

[ shamelessly reads the writing ]

Morning. What're you doing?

week 0, friday

[turbulency]

[ WELP... THIS SUCKS! he's looking troubled, hello laudna. ]

Hey. Did you get trapped last night too?

[undread]

[hello! she's popping her arm back into the socket.]

No, not at all. That little problem seems to have skipped over our house, fortunately.

[they all went to bed early and didn't notice.]

week 1; monday

[undread]

[we can have fun with affection week if we want...but also, let's check out the creepy location full of insanely powerful magical items we can only get if we do murders?]

...Oh my! This doesn't bode well, does it?

[turbulency]

[ they will hold hands...

he looks kind of grim ]

Why would they want us to kill each other?

week 1, thursday

[turbulency]

[ Whenever they cross paths, Laudna will notice that he is... just looking at her. ]

[undread]

[looking at her??? that's the worst. she gives the biggest most awkward smile he's ever seen and does just a little wave.]

week 2, monday

[turbulency]

[ Hi Laudna. 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. ]

[undread]

[she's not the type who's inclined to see something and apologize and disregard it. she saw it, after all. it happened. even the blood, even the parts where people were dying.]

...Why? Why do you have to stop them?

week 2; saturday

[undread]

[she is at the haunted house though she could be somewhere else or the void if that doesn't work. all of her anger is gone, she's just tired now.]

[turbulency]

[ He will walk over to sit by her. ]

You and Camille were close?

week 3; monday

[undread]

[she's hanging out at the tree this morning. turning the blood spigot on and watching it pour blood and then turning it off again and then turning it back on. whoa...]

Oh, hello, Geto. Would you like to try the blood spigot?

[turbulency]

[ i see ]

Did you drink some already?

week 3; friday

[undread]

[geto how are your balls? still sore?

laudna will be back in the village, she isn't going back into that creepy location if she can help it.]

...Did you find anything?

[turbulency]

[ Not his balls... He's looking a little grumpy. ]

Yeah, I was with Gale when we found Tomizawa. Looks like there was fight in the crystal room - found some crystals covered in an unknown substance, and little... balls?

week 4; monday

[undread]

[let's check out the amusement park?

laudna's thought share is just manifesting right now as some little flowers around her head. she seems like she's in a good enough mood. though when one ride or another starts playing music and flashing lights, she startles a little.

So noisy! Why!]

What is this place meant to be...?

[turbulency]

[ Laudna that is such a cute reaction. ]

It's a place of wonder and delight. [ Smiles at her. ] Where you go on rides that make you think you're going to plummet to the earth and die.

week 4; friday

[undread]

[she can be at the pyre, wearing a very simple dress that's been de-glittered but still with a bunch of glitter in her hair. she looks angry.]

[turbulency]

[ sits down next to her ]

Hey, Laudna.

[ She looks angry. ]

week 4, saturday

[turbulency]

[ this is the void but he got the heck away from the pyre.

he's probably sitting somewhere with his head in his hands. ]

[undread]

[she'll approach him, then.]

Geto...

week 5; monday

[undread]

[well. she's hanging around near the dead robot, her emotions very nervous, though cheerful as always.]

...Oh. He died.

[turbulency]

[ His vibes are just ??? ]

Someone killed him?

week 5, thursday

[turbulency]

[ help me i was not expecting a second cyoa

Well! He's going to look for Laudna, is she patched up? ]

Hey. How're you feeling?

[undread]

[she is! she is swamped and waves to him. her emotions are miserable and resentful, but she seems happy to see him.]

...You came to see me.

week 6, monday, cathedral

[turbulency]

[ Here they are on a normal Monday. ]

Hey, Laudna.

[ But then... everything changes.

They're both in a room. Alone.

Laudna speaks first, "Then why are you here?"

Taking a shaky breath, Geto steps back and runs a hand through his hair. "I'm here because... because, Laudna, I'm tired of pretending."

Laudna bites her lip, not knowing how to respond. "Geto, we ended our fake relationship, remember? You don't have to pretend to be in love with me anymore."

Geto throws back his head and laughs while Laudna looks at him in confusion.

"Laudna, I'm tired of pretending I'm not in love with you. I'm tired of pretending Satoru is the one I want. I'm tired of pretending it doesn't drive me absolutely insane with jealousy to see you with other guys."

Lauda is frozen with shock, unable to believe what she's hearing... ]

[undread]

[...smiling awkwardly.]

8.

week 6, friday

[turbulency]

[ Another sad Friday... Searching Laudna out, and then just hovering there with his hands in his pockets. ]

Hey Laudna.

[undread]

[she just looks sort of blank, like she's at a loss. she doesn't say anything, she just looks at him with wide eyes, holding pâté close.]

I...

week 6; saturday

[undread]

[you can find laudna at the pyre after the discussion has died down, still a dark looming column inside her barrier, hard to make out aside from the lanky silhouette with wide shoulder-like wings folded across her back and glowing red eyes.]

Well. You wanted a chat?

[turbulency]

Hey, Laudna.

[ Looks. ]

I didn't want you to go without saying anything.

week 7, saturday, rainforest cafe

[turbulency]

[ He is getting a snack at the cafe... Boss battles make you hungry. ]

Hey Laudna. How're you feeling?

[undread]

[hell yeah, good choice. she's a bit banged up but she doesn't mind.]

We won! I'm so relieved. You did so well, making it so horny!
