w0, wednesday (post-goopening)

[decisions]

How many days in and I am already

[ scrub! ]

sick

[ SCRUB ]

of this place! [ SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB here is percy trying to wash some of the goop stains and charredness out of his blue jacket. he is having... a time doing it by hand. hello, kazu. ]

[dms]

It'd be way nicer without the slime, that's for sure.

[ tosses his sweater on the floor. eugh, goop. ]

But you know what they say - misery loves company! And going through all this will be worth it, if it really helps clean the place up.

[decisions]

[ he will scoot to make some room for this pour gooped up soul. ]

Are you all right after... that? Must have been awful being in there...

[ he will. apologize for the fire idea. llllllater. ]

w0, thursday

[dms]

So what are your thoughts on heelies?

un: @nomercypercy

[decisions]

What are "heelies"?

-Percy

[dms]

You don't know? Some worlds really are different...
They're shoes with wheels in the sole, so you skate when they pop out! Usually it's in the heel. Heelies!

w1, post-trial

[decisions]

I was truly hoping it was going to be the clowns from the medbay.

This is terrible.

[dms]

Clowns aren't all bad... but it would have been better than this.
He was being influenced by something, wasn't he? Like when ZenZen and the others attacked each other last week?

[decisions]

He wasn't at all himself. Those are the actions of someone in their right mind.

[ he can't bring himself to be all that optimistic. ]

Something in this place made him do that. The Prism itself or something else that wants to play with us.

I'm sick of always running into this.

w2, saturday

[dms]

[ wakes up to write this starter and realizes we never got those heelies but that's a later problem ANYWAY yeets them into the library where kazunari will come in much later in the night and looks... kind of surprised to see anyone here at all? ]

Hey, Percy! Burning the late night oil? And here I thought most of us would want to get some rest after the day we've had.

[decisions]

[ we have heelies in the infinity closet, we'll go hunting for them.

in any case, percy turns at the sound of kazunari's voice, a pencil twirling gently between his fingers as he approaches. ]

Yes, I'm a little restless and didn't want to make noise in my apartment. Besides... if I fall asleep, the chairs are soft enough as well.

[ he smiles faintly. ] What are you up to?

[dms]

Fair enough! I was kind of feeling the same way, and libraries have always helped me feel more at home.

I was thinking of looking up if they had any scripts here. What about you? Got anything in particular you're looking for?

w3, monday

[decisions]

[ percy is meandering the stage today, just having a look around at the general set up and poking and prodding at some of the fixings backstage. he's rather intrigued by it all... if he were a modern day theatre kid he would probably most definitely be a techie. he's rather consumed at the moment with admiring everything that the weird bubbles that have been showing up are sort of in the back of his mind for now.

when he spies kazunari, he offers a smile—unaware of the bubble that is sort of just meandering behind a curtain near him. ]

Ah! Quite a place to show up this week, wouldn't you say?

[dms]

[ kazunari gives him a bright grin, like he's on cloud nine, and does a little twirl with his arms open wide. ]

It's like the prism was listening to us the other day, right?! It's so cool! And it's an even bigger setup than our home theater!

[ he comes to a sudden stop then, expression falling as he faces the audience from center stage. hello emotional whiplash? ]

Makes me miss home, though. Even if our stage isn't that big or fancy, it's still ours.

[decisions]

[ oh... that whiplash. he gets it just a bit and offers a kinder smile. ]

It's normal to crave the familiar over newer and shinier things... I'm not surprised. It's a rather lovely stage, though, we should definitely see it used, at the very least by this week.

[ he's about to say more, but there is... a bubble that's sort of swallowing them up now. ]

What in the—

[ instinct says to press against it, so he does, but it doesn't. seem to give. ]

w3, friday

[dms]

[ upon returning to the crystalline apartment, a folded paper addressed to percy awaits. on one side, there are a number of sketches of percy reading in the library or sitting on the rooftop late at night, some smaller ones with vax at his side, and a fanciful attempt at drawing percy's beloved vex'ahlia. the last may not be entirely accurate, with only one memory to base it on, but it's a decent attempt.

on the other side, an unsigned letter reads:

I'm sorry for this week. For laughing at your memory, and for saying the things I said. You didn't deserve it, and I didn't mean any of it. And nothing that happened is your fault. I know better than that. ]

[decisions]

[ a text to kazu, he doesn't have to answer but percy would feel wrong not sending his thanks. he doesn't feel like leaving the apartment much anyways. not... with everything. ]

Thank you, Kazunari

The drawings are lovly.

And the one of Vex is a good likeness to her.. Ill have to show this to her when we all return

Are you ffeeling alright?

[dms]

You really don't have to thank me.

[ not sure he wants it, anyway. ]

I feel... normal. But I wouldn't say "alright" after what happened.

w3, saturday

[dms]

[ this is going to be a bit later because a certain someone fainted from the drama but kazunari is coming to visit, sketchbook in hand. when he arrives, he watches percy in silence for a moment, like he isn't sure what to say. ]

I don't think you're a monster, Percy.

[decisions]

[ percy revels in the silence, indulges in it. he prefers it really because he isn't sure how to fill it until kazunari speaks. his voice... is a whisper. ]

Have you ever met a monster, Kazunari...?

w4, thursday afternoon

[decisions]

[ delivered to kazunari's door:

a pair of hand-made lace-up heelies (with little accents of soft green and white) with a small note: ]

Inspiration struck me.

Thank you for telling me about them.

Please enjoy.

- Percy

w4, friday

[decisions]

[ percy peeps into the art room for a second time today and finds kazunari, heading over to wherever he might be and lifting his hand to greet him. there's a soft wave of relief as he sees him in person. the mind always needs small reassurances. ]

Kazunari... how are you?

[dms]

[ likewise, there is relief from kazunari at seeing percy this morning. ]

Tired and worried about Kumon, mostly? And... whoever killed those two.

w5, post trial

[decisions]

[ wherever u wanna be! percy will find kazunari after a good stint in the pods. still using bad news as a crutch, but he definitely isn't as scratched up as before and seems to be able to carry himself around without much, if any, pain. ]

Kazunari... still want to talk...?

[dms]

Yeah, but we can find somewhere to sit first?

[ they're probably near the apartments maybe so he'll lead percy to the lobby. ]

It's just - I saw how you looked when they asked you about refraction, you know? It doesn't feel fair to leave those kinds of questions for you to handle alone.
