w0, saturday

[dms]

[ anyway that sucked!! estelle can probably find him in the lobby, rubbing at his neck in a rare moment of not smiling at all, but he forces one as soon as he spots her. ]

Hey, hey, Stella~! You've gone out to see the statues, right? You wouldn't have seen any of them move before, have you?

[ as he speaks, he drops his hand from his neck and she'll be able to see a nice little bee sting. ]

[mustbepurged]

M-move? It couldn't be...

[She then sees the sting on his neck, and gasps.]

You're hurt! Did the ghosts do that to you?

[dms]

Ghosts? There are ghosts now, too?

[ he missed that memo!! ]

The stings were from some bees in the courtyard. They just came out of nowhere while the statues were distracting us! We were totally ambushed on all sides!

So you should try to be careful if you go out there, okay? We don't have ointment or bandages, so I'd hate for anyone else to get stung like this.

Week 0, Saturday, Post-Trial

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle can be found sitting in the courtyard, looking miserable. She looks up when she notices Kazunari, though.]

Oh, Kazunari. Do you want to sit, too?

[She'll gesture at a nearby seat, if he wants to join her.]

[dms]

[ oh no she looks so upset? he'll give her a warm smile in return and settle in beside her. ]

You know I do! It's better not to be alone when things get like this, anyway. [ a gentle nudge with his elbow. ] Today was pretty hard, right? So if there's something bothering you, you should probs talk about it - or find something to take your mind off of it for a little while.

[mustbepurged]

[That brings a little bit of warmth to her expression, in turn.]

Thank you... I just...

Even though it wasn't as bad as it was in the other place, it still... just feels terrible, doesn't it? Sending someone to their death...

w1, monday

[dms]

[ through the revolving doors we go and into... a purikura studio? a very familiar purikura studio?! ]

Omigosh. We're back in the prism?! [ and as he spots her - ] Stella~! We should totes take some pics while we're here! They make sweet memories for later!

[mustbepurged]

Pics? [Estelle's looking a little overwhelmed at all the flashy signage and booths.]

Oh, is this for photography?

[dms]

You bet it is! And you can add cute little stickers and stuff once you're done taking pics, too; it's super fun!

I don't know if you'll be able to take the actual pics back out, but having a polaroid of it means you won't totally lose it. And it'll be like a fun welcome to the prism!

w1, saturday

[dms]

[ kazunari is hanging in the prism again tonight, specifically the petting zoo, so he'll offer her a smile and a bright pink rabbit. ]

Here.

[ hold the bun. it is soft and warm. ]

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle was looking pretty miserable, but upon having this bunny handed to her, she snaps out of it somewhat.]

Huh?

[She's holding it.]

[dms]

It's soft, right? It helps! And they like the attention, too.

Week 2, Monday

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle's checking out what new rooms have opened up... and she is absolutely delighted to walk into a massive library. So much so, that she has to whirl around and share her enthusiasm with the nearest person.]

Kazunari, look! We have a library now! We can bring the books back to our rooms and everything!

[also she's got bunny ears, that's a thing.]

[dms]

[ kazunari, meanwhile, is a nya! he has black cat ears now! ]

Isn't it awesome?! It took way longer than I expected to get one!

What are you looking for, Stella?

[mustbepurged]

I don't know where to start...

I've been reading a lot of storybooks lately, in the other places we've visited... but maybe I should try looking at something else?

What kind of books do you like, Kazunari?

Week 2, Saturday

[mustbepurged]

[Hey Kazunari, we are in the void or something. Estelle's looking pretty bummed out by the result.]

After everything that already happened this week... It just feels so unfair, doesn't it?

[dms]

For real... Bucky didn't do anything wrong, but he still has to go through with the execution? Whoever thought that was a good idea is seriously messed up.

And we knew they were probably trying to frame someone, too. It's awful.

Week 3, Monday

[mustbepurged]

This is... the school! We're really here...

[Estelle can be found on the grounds of Wiwaldi, looking excitedly at the new sights.]

Are you here to explore too, Kazunari? Maybe we can find--

[Oops nevermind, there's a shower of stardust and a memory for them to experience.]

[dms]

You really like school, don't you?

[ he's about to continue when the memory falls upon them, and he stops in his tracks, stunned. the memory scares him. reminds him of refraction, a little, so for a second, it's hard to catch his breath. ]

Stella...

[ can. can he hug her? if she lets him, he's definitely going to. ]

w3, friday

[dms]

[ really forgot the catchall was on my journal for a hot second but anyway kazunari gives estelle a little wave when he sees her, but it's less energetic than usual. ]

Hey, Stella. How're you feeling?

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle looks a little pale, herself.]

I... I'm okay, but...

... I was starting to get used to less people dying each week...

Week 3, Saturday

[mustbepurged]

[hey kazu are you in detention? i think that was wiwaldi's jail... anyway here's estelle in the doorway.]

Kazunari? ... May I come in?

[dms]

[ i have been told that it's a random classroom so sure, detention works. at estelle's voice, kazunari glances up from where he's been drawing in his sketchbook, but he can't look her in the eyes for long. so he simply nods and looks back down at the page before him. ]

w7, saturday

[dms]

[ well now that that's all over and we can take off our dang clown noses he is just gonna give estelle the biggest hug ever because he CAN ]

Stella~! We did it! Do you have anything you're looking forward to back home? Tell me all about it!

[mustbepurged]

[Yeah!! She's hugging him right back.]

Yes, lots of things! There's going to be a coronation ceremony, and a festival... and I was going to try writing some books!
