w0, MONDAY

[naeddre]

[what's up dude, throné's chilling here in the titan's call!

she's like forty pages deep into the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, sitting with her leg crossed over the other. one hand is holding the book, and the other is absently swirling a wine glass. she seems very engrossed. in fact, her thoughts seem to be pretty all in on the book.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggling useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.

The argument goes something like this: “I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”

“But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.”

“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

and throné, very gracefully, snorts out loud.]

[ meanwhile todomatsu's thoughts as he sits a few seats away with his beer are just damn she's hot but hopefully that's drowned out by her book thoughts. he also thinks the snort's pretty cute. it makes her feel more approachable!

anyway. ]

Ah— is that the book they're selling here?

[naeddre]

[HELP she gives no indication if she heard that thought or not but

when he speaks up, she glances over at him, putting the wine glass down.]

Yes, it is. Kazuki tried to explain sci-fi to me, but this is giving me a clearer picture.

[drymonster]

Yeah, that does seem to be the genre we're in now... maybe that's why they're offering it, so everyone who's unfamiliar can get a better idea of what it means.

It looks like you're enjoying it.

w1, monday

[drymonster]

[ he is just standing here outside the blood bank reading the sign on the door like ]

...Wait, is this like, a literal bank??

[naeddre]

[your icons always bring me such joy]

... Is it? [peers at the door also. also she's wearing this.] I don't think that it is...

[there's a vampire dude inside just staring at both of them]

[drymonster]

[ them and the vampire dude:



(he's in this btw.) ]

Well, if you get city-wide store credits here, it's kind of like a place you go when you need money, right? [ ... ] I don't know if you can really call it "donating" anymore at that point.

w2, monday

[drymonster]

[ it's almost time for bed, which means it's Skincare Time. so todomatsu is just there at one of the sinks in the bathroom for like, ever, cleansing and moisturizing and putting on one of his face masks. looking beautiful. ]

[naeddre]

[she actually does do skincare! it's more like she washes her face and cleans up before she goes to sleep, but she's finicky about it. she pauses when she sees todomatsu.]

... What is all of that?

[as the door closes behind her. hm.]

[drymonster]

My nightly skincare regimen~! Or as much of one as I can follow here, anyway.

[ it's only 3 steps instead of 12... :pensive:]

I couldn't really use it for a few days [ since he had cuts all over his face ], so I've got to try to make up for lost time now.

[ also there was an octopus on his face earlier, ]

w3, SUNDAY

[naeddre]

[she's just sprawled out in the observation deck staring at the ceiling. this weekend has been a Whole Thing.

but she doesn't seem to hate seeing todomatsu? like sup dude how's it going.

[drymonster]

[ ...well, in that case he'll come sit somewhere nearby. ]

I'd say it's been a long week but that's been true for every one of them.

[naeddre]

[MY END BRACKET

she glances over at him, looking exhausted.]

... You have no idea. [she says, wryly. but.] You're right, though. These are... it'll get worse, the longer we're here, I think.

w4, monday

[drymonster]

[ well, this place fucking rules, especially coming right after that crappy desert planet. todomatsu is in a sweater and plaid pants today, checking out all the offerings at this mall, which is starting to seem now like it might take up the whole day. he's already holding onto a few shopping bags, which he switches over to one hand so he can wave with the other when he spots throné in the crowd. ]

Throné-san!

[ weaving through aliens to get over here... ]

Aaah, this place is huge, isn't it?

[naeddre]

[she is not super happy about these crowds - she doesn't like being all squished in between people. but it's alright, she's managing, and when she sees him, she makes right for him. today she's wearing this, and while she doesn't have any bags, it's clear she... might have stolen some stuff. don't worry about it.]

It is. [she says, once she's close enough, with a huff.] Even New Delsta isn't packed like this.

[drymonster]

That's a big city where you're from?

[ pauses and looks at her obviously stolen goods ]

...Um, do you want me to carry anything for you?

[ holds a bag out? hide your crimes ]

w4, saturday

[drymonster]

[ this week it's todomatsu's turn to be gazing into the middle distance on the observation deck after trial. he'll shake himself out of it enough to give throné a little nod, though. ]

...Well. That sucked, huh.

[naeddre]

[throné is a very sad person - she's kind of just a heavy presence in general, somber and dark. it follows her around. and today is no different, really, but. even she has limits on how much grief she can feasibly carry.]

That is a word for it.

[she comes to stand next to him.]

I did not want it to be her, but I wonder if it should've been.

[drymonster]

If we should have voted for her instead?

w6, MONDAY

[naeddre]

[today throné can be found in the preservation biome which is not a surprise, probably! she's wearing this which isn't great for exploration purposes but she's apparently in a good mood today after the chipotle blessing and the fact that she isn't rusting anymore, so that calls for hot outfits.

she's on the third floor, crouching down next to a collection of little fennec foxes, feeding them what looks like crickets. this is her heaven.

if kazuki looks down at any point he might also see a little guy with a bag trying to pick his pocket.]

[drymonster]

[ well sounds like shit luck for kazuki, sucks to be him!!

that is indeed a very hot outfit, and unfortunately that just means todomatsu (wearing a colorful cardigan over a t-shirt, which is cute but markedly less sexy) is going to start inelegantly hacking up purple coriander flowers into his hands behind her.

he's definitely making an effort to muffle his gross coughing to avoid drawing attention to himself or startling any foxes too badly, but it's probably not doing much, especially when trying to hold it back just makes him choke harder.

on the bright side this might also make a little cat-looking thief guy hide behind a rock or something for a minute to regroup before it tries again. ]

[naeddre]

[I MEANT TODOMATSU I'M SORRY WEEPS this is what i get for trying to do starters while mingle shit is happening

anyway the purple flowers made me laugh, god. one of the foxes startles, running away, which gets throné to look up, eyebrows raised. the cat thief vanishes into the ether so she doesn't see him, but.

she pauses in feeding the foxes.]

-- Are you alright? [the coughing is so concerning!!]

w7, monday

[drymonster]

[ opening the door to the meat room




closing the door to the meat room ]

[naeddre]

[you know, that's so valid

she is a little curious but also the smell is. bad.]

... Is that just a room full of meat? [like WHY]

[drymonster]

[ nods. ]

It is not good meat.
