[This is probably a terrible idea, but. Well. Everyone came out covered in blood. It's only right that everyone gets looked after, no matter what condition they come out in or how surly the disposition.
Rosamund tracks down Baiken later. It takes time to find her, but she still clutches the towels, the water bottle, and armful of omega mart snacks close. She'd have brought liquor if the damn place would let her have any, she's sure that would broker a better peace than this junk.]
[ she's chillin, out and away from everyone else, smoking her kiseru. she's had time to shower and change, so she's back to her usual kimono getup. hair still wild af though there's no fixing that. but, without her cyoa outfit, the only visible mark of her adventure is the dark bruise on her face. ]
[She's pleased to see her so calm, actually. Charles told her she might be difficult to get any kind of treatment for, and Rosamund doubts she'd get her there either by the carrot or the stick. Especially not the stick.
It's better to just gauge any hidden damage first. Then proceed with what to do.
For now she takes a seat at her side, keeping a respectful distance.]
I got some snacks too, in case you're hungry. I see you've already cleaned up.

[Her eyes flick at once to the arm. Curious. Very curious.
But also not wanting to make herself so obvious, Rosamund takes a bag of chips and a bag of chocolate cookies and sets them both at the other woman's side. Sweet or salty, both can be hers.]
Just because things could be worse doesn't mean they can't be better.
baiken eyes the sweets impassively, then retreives her kiseru once again. i guess this is the worst fitting obi in the world so she can produce a lighter and re.. light it... look i'm an ignorant rper i don't know how smoking pipes work. ]
Had to go through hell to get some kinda Bough. Can't speak on the other three, but Throné and Ichiban struggled with it. [ this is not said in a disparaging matter, just matter-of-fact. it's hard! hell sucks!!!! ]
You're better off makin' sure they're okay than someone like me.
[i'd believe anything you told me tbh she should smoke as much as she wants.]
Oh, yes. Well, lots of people are helping them. Everyone rushed in all at once, so. I thought I'd look for you.
[It feels too weird to sit here without doing something, especially once the pipe comes out again. Last time Lucien lent her a cigarette she'd nearly choked to death so that's probably not on the table. But she still has many snacks in her lap! One couldn't hurt.
Delicately she peels a corner off a bag of gummies and takes a wee red bear for herself.]
Bough as in a tree branch? Was it sacred, or magic of some kind?
[ girl stop being so weird about your snacks. baiken pushes the bears closer. take the damn bears. ]
Somethin' like that. Funny thing is, no one actually told us. Then when we got to it, touching it made some giant building with a leg appear. So we got into that car and got brought back.
Fighting is all about knowing yourself. [ a pause to tag a drag. ]
We weren't gonna win against that thing, and the car was faster anyway. Then I'm sure you saw us get thrown into the theater. Or heard about it, anyway.

WEEK 2: Thursday

Ms. Baiken?

[Haha this is so awkward already. Nonetheless she approaches, holding out the water bottle first.]
I guess you dodged the worst of it, huh?
no subject
she taps the ash out of the pipe and sticks it in her obi so she can take the water bottle. ]
If it counts for something, then sure.

But I'm fine. I've had worse.

What happened in there?

[ some... how... ]
no subject
A giant building with a leg?
[Okay. Um. Very far-fetched but not totally out of the question...]
It wasn't a sort of hut with chicken legs, was it?
[If anyone could make it here out of sheer will power and spite, only to torment whoever they found? It would be the Baba Yaga.]
no subject
no subject
[Okay different walking building, nevermind. No saviour in the guise of a mercurial hag today.]
And you were able to escape alive? That's incredible. Really, I have a friend who's fought giants before, it's no easy feat.
no subject
We weren't gonna win against that thing, and the car was faster anyway. Then I'm sure you saw us get thrown into the theater. Or heard about it, anyway.
no subject
Is that what hurt Throné and Ichiban? Or was there something else you had to fight?
[She doubts that the woman is secretly nursing a wounded arm from just running away.]
no subject
That wasn't the only thing. There was a lot of fighting going on at the end, but I wasn't watchin' them then.
