W0 FIRST SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[they are sitting in front of a 15 oz steak at the restaurant. There is a child-sized greek salad to the side.]

...Should we split this?

[feytality]

[ she is crying her little eyes out.... but she nods ]

[rosebleed]

[WHAT WHY]

Maya?! What's wrong?

[feytality]

Nothing, I'm fine. Just ignore this.

[ as she cries and cries and cries ]

[rosebleed]

Well obviously not. Maya, please, just tell me. It's all right!

[Taking a napkin to her tear-stained cheeks.]

What's the matter? You can tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone.

[feytality]

[ it gets soaked immediately but maya appreciates the gesture ]

No, seriously, Rosamund, I'm cursed. It's a curse.

[rosebleed]

You are? How so?

[Rosamund is only more concerned. Just because she doesn't look cursed doesn't mean it's not there. They come in all varieties, curses do.]

[feytality]

Just.... don't go in the crying room if you don't have to cry.

[ they do come in all varieties.... ]

[rosebleed]

Did it curse you to cry?

Oh dear... [Awkwardly. Hands her a new napkin.] Um! Okay, don't panic! Maybe it'll stop soon? Or we could try to find one of the people in charge.

[feytality]

Yeah.

[ mops up her ghibli tears, soaking it in the process ]

No, it's okay, don't worry about it. It has to stop eventually... just ignore it in the meantime.

[ as she's leaking eyewater ]

week 0, monday

[feytality]

[ wandering over to rosamund ]

Hey, do you ever need help with your hair?

[rosebleed]

Are you sure? You're going to get dehydrated like that. Um.

[Offers a glass of water? This is a messy curse wow.]

But okay, I'll take your word for it. What if it keeps going through the night though? How will you sleep?

[rosebleed]

Hm? [Looks to her, blinking a little.] Well. I mean if I'm trying to do anything fancy with it. Why? Do you like doing hair?

Yours is really nice, I do like the bun and the little beads.

[feytality]

Aww, thanks! Most people make fun of it.

[ rude ass bitches ]

I'm used to doing it for my little cousin, so I don't mind if you ever want to want to do anything special with it.

[feytality]

[ it really is. she takes the glass and takes a little sip at it... her tears make it salty ]

Thanks.

I.... guess I'd just stay up if that happens? Or cry in my sleep?

[ literally cry yourself to sleep, maya ]

[rosebleed]

What? Why? [Making a face.] Obviously they have no taste.

[but weh! Pearly!!]

That's very sweet. You must be really close with her. [She smiles, touched at the thought.] I don't have any smaller cousins to do those things with, but I do have my dear friend Ylfa. Her hair is incredibly thick. It makes the heftiest braid you've ever seen.

[rosebleed]

...Would it be better if someone stayed up with you?

[feytality]

I don't want to trouble you....

[ luckily (?) it will stop on its own after 2 hours ]

[feytality]

I know, right? What a bunch of jerks!

[ but she smiles at the second bit ] Aww. Well, friends are good for that too! For example, we're friends, right? I could totally braid yours.

[rosebleed]

Please. It wouldn't be any trouble.

Besides, what else would I do around here? Order more steaks?

[but we can let this one go soon sippy STARES AT FRIDAY LOOMING]

[rosebleed]

Absolutely. Tell them to keep their mouths shut next time.

[Help she's so insistent.]

You are really itching to do it, huh? [Rosamund cocks her head.] Well. I don't do it up often myself, but just this once would be nice? You go right ahead.

[feytality]

[ looks at friday. looks at you. points at eyes ]

Well, we could eat them....

[ help is rosamund really going to go karen at the npcs over this ]

[feytality]

Maybe a little...

[ she just thinks it would be a fun challenge ]

I also just wanted to check if we were friends! You know, vibe check.

[ but she rolls up her sleeves. aw yea time to get to braiding ]

Tell me more about Ylfa as I do this.

W0 SECOND FRIDAY

[rosebleed]

[Looking around for her after the announcement goes up...checks the crying room first but if she's not there then she is tracking her down]

Maya? Maya where are you?

[feytality]

[ she's around the basement with a can of opened tuna in her hand ]

Oh! Rosamund, hi!

... Are you okay?
