w0, friday

[dms]

[ time meet at (throws dart) the gift shop! kazu's just coming out of the dressing room and does a little twirl! ]

Hey, Rupes! What do you think? Like the new fit?

[agleam]

[he gives him a thumbs up!]

Looks nice!

w0, sunday

[dms]

[ knockknockknock rupert knockknockknock rupert knockknockknock rupert ]

Ru~pes! I found my stuff earlier! Did you find Porridge, too? Is he okay?

[ he's just shouting through the door this is fine ]

[agleam]

[there's the sound of a laugh from inside (which i guess he can't hear because we found out the rooms are soundproof as i typed this help) before the door opens!]

Yeah, he's perfectly fine. Thank goodness, right? Do you want to come in and meet him?

w0, monday

[dms]

[ all these doors and so little time to explore them! ]

Hey! Where do think these things lead to? It can't be more guest rooms, or they'd label them, right?

[ knock knock door number 17! ]

[agleam]

Yeah... Besides, I haven't seen anyone here but us. Unless those are for the people who are going to be our hosts?

[he tilts his head.]

In which case, there's going to be a lot of them.

w0, sunday

[dms]

[ hello rupes! kazu is in the courtyard with his notepad, drawing away. he startles a little at seeing movement in the corner of his eye, but settles quickly and smiles. ]

Hey, Rupes. How're you feeling?

[agleam]

[he gives him a little wave.]

...I'll be alright, I think.

[he wishes none of this was happening, but he doubts that he's alone in that, really.]

What about you?

w1, monday

[dms]

[ RNG said we start a pc at the office once more ]

So the Office Kingdom still stands...

[agleam]

Ooh, so this is your place, huh?

[blinking, though]

...Office Kingdom?

w1, saturday

[dms]

[ rupert will have to find him, but kazunari is sitting at the edge of the prism's indoor stage, notepad open on his lap so he can draw. the door opening catches his attention, though, so he looks up, smiles, and offers a little wave. ]

Hey, Rupes. Did you come out here for some quiet, too?

[agleam]

[he nods absently as he wanders in, heading towards the edge of the stage as well.]

Mind if I sit, or - did you want to be alone?

w2, monday

[dms]

[ you'd think we'd learn better than to explore the hall doors, but someone has to take the plunge, so into door number six we go! a dark city awaits them as they step inside. ]

...Somehow these doors always find a way to surprise me! What do you think we're in for this time? Are we gonna get rained on? Should we look for umbrellas?

[agleam]

[he glances as he enters in, frowning a little at the shadowy figures, before he looks around the rest of the area.]

Could be... Doesn't seem dangerous so far, at least, but it's probably not a bad idea to keep our guards up.

w2, thursday

[agleam]

[a while after all that, he's looking around for kazunari! and when he sees him in the restaurant:]

—Are you okay?!

[dms]

[ he's just grabbing a snack before curfew! ]

Oh, hey Rupes! [ he looks a little tired, but otherwise okay. he waves! ] I'm alright. I'm more worried about Bucky, TBH - his arm was really messed up.

w2, saturday.

[agleam]

[wandering around a little bit after the trial, but he pauses when he sees kazunari. after a moment:]

...How are you holding up, after that?

[dms]

[ glancing up from where he's been drawing in his notepad, kazunari seriously debates the merits of playing it all off like usual. but that doesn't feel right, so. ]

Not sure, honestly. We never voted wrong in the prism so it's... a little hard to figure out how to feel about it.

w3, monday.

[agleam]

[he's wandering around the new areas now that they're open, and while he's been trying to keep out of people's way for the most part - he doesn't notice kazunari in time, and walks past him. it's close enough that some stardust starts to sprinkle down, and then—

a memory plays out.]

[dms]

[ okay, first of all, chad???

no but anyway, kazunari stops short, halfway toward calling out a greeting to rupert when the stardust and memory hit them, and suddenly some things he's said before make a bit more sense. it's unfair, though, to find out like this. ]

Oh... [ what do you say to that? to wishing someone you love goodbye for what might be forever? ] Rupes, I'm so sorry...

w3, thursday.

[agleam]

[he's glancing around the spa this morning, but he gives kazunari a wave as he sees him.]

Hey there.

[dms]

[ waves back from where he's browsing the hair care stuff! ]

Hi, hi~! Come for some well-earned relaxation before tonight?

w3, saturday.

[agleam]

[knocking on the door of the detention classroom!]

Hey... Can I come in?

[dms]

[ he looks up from where he's been drawing, and nods. even now, kazunari wears a small smile. ]

Yeah, of course. I'd never say no to company.

w7, saturday.

[agleam]

[he's heading into the restaurant, porridge at his heels, but he waves when he sees kazunari.]

You're hungry after all that, too, huh?

[dms]

Sure am. That was a ton of running! Way more than I'm used to!

[ this twink barely exercises ]

It's a relief to see that everyone made it, though. Now we can finally breathe and relax a little.
