WEEK 0: First Saturday

[rosebleed]

[okay well i'm ripping off francy then

Except it's in the showers because no one was brave enough to tag me there.]

Excuse me? Is anyone there?

[A wee hand waves over the top of a stall.]

I don't seem to have soap in here?

[agamid]

[ help me ]

Ah. [ this is so inappropriate ] Yes, of course. I shall retrieve some.

[ ... ]

You ought to be careful with the water. It does not run indefinitely.

[rosebleed]

Thank you, kind sir!

[Except he brings up an alarming new issue.]

What?

[SHHHT.

The water immediately stops running.]

[agamid]

[ not this icon ]

... My lady?

[ he's got your soap... :') ]

[rosebleed]

Uuum — uh.

[wet frantic scrambling noises.]

I'm not done yet!

[pops onto tip toes to peer over the top.]

Oh! It's you!

week 0, monday, sim room

[agamid]

[ Dion is floating in a dark room. Is it... sensory deprivation therapy?

If it is, it's not working. Rosamund will get hit with a vague sense of nausea. ]

[rosebleed]

[Okay well she was having a good morning until she suddenly feels like vomiting. Luckily this sudden surprise sensation thing has made itself apparent already, and seeing no one nearby in the hall she does think to enter the simulation chamber.

Politely.]

Knock knock? [Peeeeeering inside.] Everything all right in here?

[agamid]

[ it's rosamund... ]

Your Highness. [ he kinda just... wobbles in space ] Please, enter.

[rosebleed]

Dion, what?

[She enters, boggling at the emptiness.]

Did you make this a void on purpose?

[bruh]

[agamid]

I was merely curious about the anti-gravity properties.

[ yearning ]

It is... disorienting.

[rosebleed]

[hmmm]

Maybe you should come down?

[Though now that she's entered she is also under the thrall. She swims up to him, reaching for his hand.]

[agamid]

[ oh! she can take his hand... she'll notice it's rather cold. ]

Thank you. [ With his feet relatively close to the ground, he turns off the zero gravity and lets gravity do the rest of the work. ] I suppose I was... missing something, and thought it might help.

week 0, friday, titan's call

[agamid]

[ SWEET ROSAMUND how could this happen :tears:

Dion is definitely looking for her though. Is she okay, are her briars acting up... ]

[rosebleed]

[They aren't, because she's not dying. On the other hand?]

Dion?

[They catch each other in the hall. She runs to him stopping shy of collision or contact of any kind, though her hands shake in the air between them.]

I can't find the bodies.

[agamid]

[ rosamund... he'll take her hands in his, which is okay because he's gay. ]

Yes. We know not what happened to Master Dahut, but Luke... he should've been with us this morning. [ ... ] Perhaps it is to hide what happened.

[rosebleed]

[Gay and Questioning solidarity.]

It's definitely to hide what happened. [Never trust the authorities.] None of us have the power to make it all disappear. And frankly, none of us were able to get through the doors. So who's left?

[agamid]

... I am uncertain that we should draw the conclusion that none of us were able to get through the doors.

It is possible that Dahut could.

[rosebleed]

He wouldn't unless they let him out on purpose. He had time before we passed out to open it himself.

week 1, monday, the cliffs (strihira)

[agamid]

[ the goat gazes over the cliffs ]

[rosebleed]

[you had to find the derpiest looking goat too, didn't you]

Oh! What are you doing here. [Rosamund approaches the goat, holding a hand out to sniff.] Are lost, sweet thing?

[agamid]

[ wow i googled "beautiful goat" specifically

dion is not a goat, but he boops his nose to her hand in greeting ]

[rosebleed]

[How cute! She immediately begins to pet it, scratching behind its ears and rubbing the sides of its cheeks.]

You're much too handsome to be living in the wild. Did you get lost? Do you belong to someone?

[Checking for signs of ownership (and gregor lip marks)]

[agamid]

[ this is extremely undignified, but he allows this too happen

there is a tag roped around his neck that says DO NOT EAT

he gazes down the cliff once more ]

[rosebleed]

Do not eat?

[is this a warning for the locals or for Sidon?]

Hmm. Well, we can't leave you out here all alone. Come along!

[Herds him away from the edge, it's not worth it Dion you have too much to live for]

WEEK 1: Thursday

[rosebleed]

[okay I'm free from capitalism now

Which is to say that after the calamity settles Rosamund tails Dion to wherever he might be nursing his wounds with a slowly cooling cup of takeout tea.]

Your Highness?
