[ todomatsu is out walking on the beach in a fresh new shirt, cropped pants, and sandals, occasionally picking up a pretty seashell... until he gets to a scallop shell and just. gazes tiredly at it. and throws it back into the ocean.
[she has also ditched her previous outfit in favor of something brand new and clean. a backless white sundress, with a pair of flip flops for the beach and a scarf that she's more or less wearing as a shawl to cover up the amputation. she pauses, watching the scallop shell fly into the sea. farewell forever.]
[HEY... HEY... WHAT THE FUCK... i have no idea where they are, but asa is pausing to openly stare at him after that cyoa return. hello, sir. is all your bleeding internal again?]
[ well. actually yes, but it's not BAD internal bleeding........
i will say this is after he's cleaned up and changed into clothes that aren't covered in blood. he has a bandage around one of his hands now. still looks super pale, bordering on grey, and his eyes are kind of glassy. ]
[ ...well he is confused about this copy of her with the scar, what is going on there. but mostly he's just like, my god, that boy is a fucking doofus, why did you even go out on ONE date with him. ]
[hello. he can find asa looking through the supplies in the infirmary, taking stock of what's available and grabbing a couple of things to take with her. she pauses halfway through shoving some aspirin in her pocket, glancing at him.]
[ TRIES TO THINK VERY HARD ABOUT MEDICAL SUPPLIES BECAUSE HE FEELS LIKE HE'S ALREADY ON PERPETUALLY THIN ICE ]
As far as places to grab supplies from go, this is definitely one of the more useful ones we've gotten so far. Kind of sucks that we still haven't gotten a second clothing store, though...
[ do you want this to be before or during the gaston situation lmao...
anyway we're at the pavilion and he's in one of the shops with so many clothes clutched tightly to his chest, radiating blissful relief for now, even if it will inevitably be short lived. ]
[IT IS UP TO YOU... imagine if she is gaston and totty just has to witness this random dude picking out cute clothes that are several sizes too small.
which is to say, asa is also clothes shopping right now and looking through all their new, shiny options in delight. she is very much dead inside, but there is a small spark of joy here. she holds up a clean, brand new dress and says, relieved:]
[ well he's gotten patched up somehow since execution i guess?? but is still not going into the swamp so it's like, not fantastic, but also not immediately dangerous, probably. he's showered and washed off all the blood and sludge and smoke and stuff, at least.
i guess he's just sitting on the floor in the living room of the haunted house with a cup of tea and some unfolded origami paper next to him that he's currently ignoring, absently playing some kind of puzzle game on his phone. he'll glance up and offer an extremely tired smile that doesn't last for long. ]
[wish she could smile back, but she barely does even on a good day. she'll just lean on the wall, frowning.]
... Next week is gonna be even longer. [especially since. they are banned from the graveyard unless something wild happens.] Sorry you had to go through that with Laudna.
[ in the haunted house sometime earlier in the day, before they get RUDELY STINKBOMBED OUT OF IT, it's a memshare!! (please forgive my awkward splicing together of his montage snippets at the end.)
it's a pretty drastically different vibe from the last memory she saw from him in all respects — portraying their relationship with their parents as a warm and close-knit one instead of whatever the fuck was going on with that butcher knife before, and most of them showing a little more seriousness and complexity. peak penultimate episode material right here. ]
[oh... this actually makes her opinion of him a little better... his brother got a job and totty moved out of his parents' house? he's Adulting? or adjacent adulting. but also, hm.]
... What was the deal with your brother?
[boy why were you beating each other up. what the heck.]
[honest to god just laying on the ground somewhere after whatever the fuck just happened. they were briefly a god's parents? it was horny? it exploded?
she glances at todomatsu.]
... Good job literally embarrassing a god to death.
[ yeah i also started my pc with lavi with LIES ON THE GROUND SOMEWHERE I GUESS it's truly the mood ]
Haha, thanks. More of a superpower than anything else I have, I guess.
[ and since that IS so the mood, he is also going to come lie down on the ground, but a respectful distance away and like, at a different angle so it doesn't look like they're together on purpose. he is so self conscious of her judgment and she can probably feel it. ]
week zero, saturday.
