remember when we put shitposts in these catch-alls

Comments

week zero, monday.

[squelching]

[well.

the fountain has exploded. saya is staring at whatever is left of it, like, what the actual heck.]

[ballies]

[ i remember shitposts…. ]

…




Um.

[squelching]

It wasn't like this an hour ago...

[ballies]

Just an hour ago?

[ squints ]

I wonder what happened…

w2, monday

[ballies]

[ LET'S GOOOOOOOOO QUYNN. i'm yeeting them into the bookstore. tama, specifically, is looking at some of the boardgames. mostly blood on the clock tower, and cluedo. ]

... Maybe we should be playing some of these, if this weekly thing is going to keep up.

[squelching]

You mean, on Thursday?

[she is also looking curiously at the board games, though more like she's never seen any of them before.]

[ballies]

Whenever. They look like crime solving games, don't they?

[ she taps cluedo. ]

week two, sunday.

[squelching]

[everything has truly happened so much this week. after the execution, saya is just quietly vibing in the void.

when she spots tama:]

... Is Ryuki's memory back to normal?

[wtf was up with that, ma'am.]

[ballies]

[ it's fine, don't worry about it. ]

He'll be fine. Sometimes he takes on a bit too much and it wears him out.

And there's been a lot going on.

[squelching]

[it did not seem fine!!]

Hmm...? So it's not the first time it's happened.

w3, monday

[ballies]

[ it's the salon. get in the salon saya. ]

Oh my god. Look at all this stuff.

[ AHHHH.

it's time to get some cute hair accessories. get some nail polish. ]

[squelching]

[teach her how to doll up, tama. she has never done her nails in her life.]

Ahaha, you're excited.

[ballies]

[ neither has she don’t worry about it ]

Salons are a woman’s haven! You can do pretty much anything here, make up and style wise. I’ve never actually been to one before.

week four, monday.

[squelching]

[they are at (throws dart) the anime store. i'll get you a mem in a bit, but for now — saya is looking through the hero figurines like this is the funniest thing she's ever seen. she picks up one of tama when she notices her in the shop, comparing the figurine to the real deal.]

Hmm... They got it all wrong. You're not that pretty.

[... this is what she says, but her eyes widen like she's startled by it?]

[ballies]

[ honestly, she'd be more offended if saya didn't look so startled by what came out of her mouth. also, she's a confident lady. ]

Please, I'm plenty pretty. No one's to everyone's taste though. Besides--

[ she's also bending down to look at the figurine -- wow. ]

Anime makes everything look stupidly unobtainably pretty.

[squelching]

[she is kind of cringing, but the response still comes out automatically—]

No, I don't think anime is the problem.

w5, monday

[ballies]

saya, where are you?

l

[squelching]

At the beach. Why?

[ballies]

okay, don't move. i'm on my way. read this while you're waiting.

[ surpwise. she's getting a photo of a piece of paper that says: ]

Hello, young heroes. Or whatever you would prefer to call yourselves, I'm hardly the type to put titles on others.

Anyway, I shall begin to get to the point.

Those souls who've been lost during the span of this competition are not completely beyond your reach. On the upcoming full moon, there will certainly be danger from the man in white calling himself the moon. It will also be the most opportune time to recover your deceased heroes.

The red moon is when prinnies reincarnate, though considering the strange circumstances of this world, they would not be starting over from the beginning of their lives. As long as they're in the moonlight they should recover back to themselves without issue.

Do with this information what you will, but do attempt to hold onto what hope you can. As dire as the situation is, it is not impossible to see it through.

week six, saturday.

[squelching]

[welcome to the void. this is the worst timeline, actually.]

... Do you think Nico's going to be okay?

[ballies]

[ i am so tired. ]

...

Maybe. I think we just need to get him to-- Tuesday? Tuesday potentially.

[squelching]

... Yeah. Three more days.

But he's going to have to watch him die tomorrow.

week seven, saturday.

[squelching]

[she stretches, yawning a little before taking a sip from her moon dust smoothie. yum.]

... Are you and Ryuki going to try to change anything else that happened in your world?

[thinking about the memshare. man.]

[ballies]

[ YOUR MOON DUST SMOOTHIE. ]

I don't know.

...

It happened quite a few years ago now, and. Well. We're not from exactly the same time point, but he didn't... take the idea we weren't so well. I didn't bring it up again afterwards.

[ ... ]

Nobody died that day. I just need to him to make it through another week and learn that.

[squelching]

[she pauses mid sip, surprised.]

... Oh. That — makes things more complicated. [hm.] Are you going back with him? To that time?
