W0 FIRST SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[frowning at the contraband behind glass in the duty free shop.]

Why is this stuff all off limits? It's barely even dangerous.

[teenrebellion]

Please. It would be too convenient to let us have the things we want so soon. How else are they going to assert their authority here?

[ scoffs. ]

I guess there's an argument for locking up the alcohol, but I'd rather have it.

week 0, monday

[teenrebellion]

[ just coming up to loosely hook his arm with rosamund's. this is normal and fine. his guitar is still on his shoulder btw. ]

Don't look behind the baggage claim area if you haven't already. It's real creepy.

[rosebleed]

[This is normal and fine! I assume the guitar is situated in such a way that it won't knock into her as they link arms. Nor get the tuners caught in her hair. Unless...]

Oh. Yeah. [Smiling awkwardly.] I really don't like the look of that unfinished hangman? Where did that person go?

Were you all right, looking around in there?

week 0, saturday

[teenrebellion]

[ all of my starters are the same he has his guitar and he's settled into a chair in the team lounge to play. he's still tense, though, enough to miss a note here and there, but he'll pause when he notices rosamund. ]

I can go somewhere else if it bothers you.

[rosebleed]

Not at all. It might be nice actually.

[She drifts over, settling in the seat beside him and looking down to the instrument.]

Are you writing something?

W1 MONDAY

[rosebleed]

You know, we could just do this mission thing ourselves. Take the pressure off?

[Squares her shoulders and clears her throat.]

Kazuki, please go on a date with me.

[teenrebellion]

[ hello? he shouldn't be surprised, and yet. this is kind of funny, though. ]

Alright, sure. What'd you have in mind?

W1 SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[if he hunts for her, he may find her....gimme three places he would look]

[teenrebellion]

[ wow we don't even get team privileges...

well she won't be at the lounge, probably, but. golf course, sim room... train graveyard. ]

W1 SUNDAY

[rosebleed]

[after hearing he won't be back with them for a while]

if it's because of me, I can leave instead.

[teenrebellion]

[ well. now he feels bad. ]

It's not. I promise you it isn't.

w2 monday

[teenrebellion]

[ at homophonic's music store! he's in the back fiddling with some stuff for the instruments. ]

Really wish we could just take stuff back with us...

[rosebleed]

It would save us some points at least, wouldn't it?

[drifting over. Still not doing great but we are mobile and dressed and washed.]

I thought you already had a guitar?

W2 THURSDAY

[rosebleed]

[If the mods had let my bring my heal gun from sprace she would have shot his ass better on main

She'll come to his side post healing defib, post bandaging. She very likely helped with it, having some experience with healing.]

Kazuki? Can I fetch you anything? Some water?

[teenrebellion]

[ LKSDJFLASD YOUR HEALING GLOCK... but yeah he's doing better it's okay. still a little dazed, but otherwise stable. ]

...Yeah, sure. Water's fine.

w2, saturday

[teenrebellion]

[ exhausting day.

he'll be up at the flight deck, looking at the stars for a bit. but he glances over when he hears someone arrive. ]

Hey. How're you feeling?

[ being on the suspect list again... ]

[rosebleed]

[She's got a wee to-go tea with her, but she isn't partaking over-much.]

Oh, you know. About as good as I can be? I'm not so upset about being a suspect, if that's what you're asking.

w3 monday

[teenrebellion]

[ i hope rosamund was having a nice, pleasant morning exploring the new terminal and we're just ruining it with terrible memories. what's one more, anyway? ]

[rosebleed]

[yay.......

In the wake of it, Rosamund sits there with a rather consternated frown. There's the thickness of the emotion off the top. Fresh loss. A failure to protect. Mounting anger, the drive to find justice.

Then there's so much logistics and terminology that frankly, she loses the plot a little at the end. She opens her mouth to say something.

Closes it. Looks to Kazuki quizically — and with concern. Is he feeling all right, after seeing this?]

w3 friday

[teenrebellion]

[ rosamund can find him drinking some coffee today, looking even more anxious than usual on a friday. caffeine is definitely not going to help but there's no way he's sleeping tonight, anyway. ]

[rosebleed]

[comes to sit next to him. She looks like she'd been crying, but the fit is over for now. It's just a melancholy air hanging about her as she turns her head to face him.]

...I suppose we should have expected that announcement. The one that came after.

W3 SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[Is he texting her or...she probably wouldn't text him first sorry THIS IS A USELESS STARTER RAY]

[teenrebellion]

[ he's gonna text her it's fine. ]

You alright? You disappeared before I could talk to you.

W4 MONDAY

[rosebleed]

[we are in HELL. At one of the bars. Getting drinks. Let's get dangerous it's alpha week.]

I never expected hell to have so many accommodations? Like they're not pleasant, not completely, but I wouldn't call them torturous either?

[teenrebellion]

[ throws them into the frosty peak bar where he is picking up a (rolls dice) tonic memoir! ]

Definitely nicer than you'd expect, that's for sure. Maybe Alex did some renovating when she took over.

W4 MONDAY

[rosebleed]

[what happened.

She's in the void.]

Why.

[teenrebellion]

[ hello he's still mildly offended by that curse existing at all. ]

Over your fifteen minutes of fame already, Rosamund-san?

w4 friday

[teenrebellion]

[ looking at the departures and hulkenberg's messages. ]

...Looks like we're all taking turns not going back to the lounge.

[rosebleed]

Everyone gets a turn.

[She swallows thickly. Her hair is damp while the rest of her is dry.]

...Kazuki?

W4 SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[going back to their lounge and gunning for the liquor cabinet with such murderous immediacy.]

I've had enough.

[Pulling out hard stuff and shot glasses.]

[teenrebellion]

[ he'll join her without the slightest hesitation. ]

You and me both.

W5 MONDAY

[rosebleed]

[we can get serious in a sec but first

IN THE LIBRARY. She is reading the weird fanfic about her and sidon???????]

How...how does this have the same plot as our dream curse?

[emotionshare is CONFUSED AND ALARMED.]

[teenrebellion]

Do you think someone from Meowsandry wrote that one? Does that count as plagiarism?

W7 MONDAY

[rosebleed]

[Actually just flopping on their lounge couch.]

I missed this...

[teenrebellion]

[ watching with amusement. ]

At least you weren't gone for too long.

w7 saturday

[teenrebellion]

[ in the lounge! he's mixing a drink. ]

One last drink for the road?

[rosebleed]

Oh, absolutely! And I won't make you drink straight liquor this time.

[looks curiously at what he's mixing.]

So what's this?
