weekend 0, saturday, cabin

[turbulency]

[ okay, well, normally geto is pretty polite... at least at first glance, but when he passes by izutsumi, he just speaks without thinking— ]

Furry...?

[nyas]

[ she may be furry but you're bald. anyways she is here in her default clothes now. her tail lashes at that comment. ]

What? Never seen a beastkin before?

[turbulency]

[ whoops

he looks properly abashed ]

No, sorry. We only have humans where I come from.

[nyas]

You mean Tall-Men?

[ what is a human ]

[turbulency]

[ what is a tall-man ]

I guess some of them are tall...? You don't have humans?

WEEK 0, MONDAY.

[nyas]

[ guess who is staring at you now geto, it's a furry with gold unblinking cat eyes. ]

[turbulency]

[ OKAY?

stops what he is doing to slowly stare back at her

? ]

[nyas]

[ looking him up and down, then circles him

she's looking for the inky w o r d s. ]

[turbulency]

[ OKAY SHE'S NOT EVEN BEING SUBTLE

when she circles him, she'll see the word RIKO on his shoulder, over his uniform. ]

Do you need something?

[nyas]

[ WORD that means nothing to her wtf. ]

You're affected too. Was wondering if there was somebody that wasn't.

week 1, monday, funky

[turbulency]

[ Wow, here we are... Shopping! ]

It's a relief to finally be able to change our clothes.

[nyas]

[ the way I forgot the store was called funky so I was wondering why you said that.

unfort izutsumi stares at the clothes uninterested. ]

Not like we were in serious need to. Weather hasn't changed.

[turbulency]

[ IT'S THE NAME!! anyway. geto like i see... you are stinky. ]

But our clothes are dirty?

[nyas]

[ hey... she grooms herself. she's clean enough. ]

Wash them?

[turbulency]

Every day? That's kind of a pain.

week 2, monday

[turbulency]

[ Hi Izutsumi. 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. ]

[nyas]

[ (...)

as it finishes playing out, izutsumi doesn't say anything right away. no, instead, she watches him closely, gauging for his reaction, his expression to these events unfolding. to the death of someone he knew, the heavy atmosphere she can feel even while having no part of this memory.

her tail slowly flicks. ]

[turbulency]

[ Geto doesn't bother to hide the heartache from his expression, though it's muted. Resigned. That's just the way things are.

He looks at Izutsumi, wondering if she'll say anything. ]

[nyas]

[ she blinks back at him, her head tilting. his feelios... ]

Does that sorta thing happen a lot?

[turbulency]

[ She has to deal with feelings... At least he switches to repressing that shit. ]

Yeah, it's dangerous being a jujutsu sorcerer. [ Uh. ] But that's just how it is. It's probably less dangerous than being here at least.

WEEK 4, MONDAY.

[nyas]

[ SONICA MANTA BOARDWALK? i literally typed santa monica at least 5 times i blame dana for that. anyways amusement park time.

though she's curling against geto's side tightly, arms wrapped around herself with shivers. weird. ] What even is this place?

[turbulency]

[ I literally thought it was Santa Monica until I got this tag.

Aw, he'll gently rub one of her shoulders. ]

It's an amusement park. People eat unhealthy food and go on rides that make them think they're going to die. [ ... ] You okay?

[nyas]

[ CALIFORNIA GIRLS WE'RE UNFORGETTABLE

she will accept this, shivering just a little less. squishes against his side. ]

Why would people do that? [ scrunches her nose a little. ] M'fine. Someone cursed me, been feeling cold for hours now. But other people are warm enough and it's the only time it helps.

[ this curse when izutsumi does that to sleep anyways is so funny to me. ]

[turbulency]

Being by the fire or in the sun doesn't do anything? [ Weird. ] Do you just want to sit?

[ Izutsumi being so snuggly despite being prickly is so funny. Truly a cat. ]

[nyas]

[ she's COLD, she needs his BODY HEAT. which is something she does not mind demanding when it's time to sleep but they are exploring and it is making things a pain. ]

Nothing. Only helps when someone else is around. [ grumbling... but she shakes her head, squinting at the amusement park. ] I wanna look around more.
