w1 monday

[teenrebellion]

[ throws them in the strip mall so they can look at accessories hehe ]

Hey, Liu-san. What do you think of these? Fits the planet's vibes, right?

[ holds up some bat hairpins! ]

[ravenry]

[ oooh. her eyes go a little wide because hairpins like this are a new aesthetic for her. ]

I didn't think bats could look so pleasant. [ cute, she means. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ oh... cute. he grins and offers it to her. ]

Anything can look good with the right styling. You want to try them?

[ravenry]

[ she looks thoughtful for a second. ]

You'll have to show me how to. They're different from what I'm familiar with.

[ her hand reaches up to touch one of her gold hair sticks. ]

[teenrebellion]

Oh, sure. It's not that hard - you can do it kind of like how I wear mine?

[ he has a couple in his bangs at all times so it's a perfect example! ]

You can use them to hold your bangs back or just to look nice. They have nicer ones for girls, too, if you want something more elegant or cute.

[ravenry]

[ she peers up. her study is intent and sincere, and she nods after a second. an, okay, i got it, kind of nod. ]

These are the ones you chose.

[ she holds out her hand for them. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ lol. sure he'll hand them over. ]

Do you want a hand with it, or are you good?

[ravenry]

I will be able to handle it.

[ this is what mirrors are for. ]

[teenrebellion]

Alright, have at it.

[ steps aside to see how it looks when she's done! ]

[ravenry]

[ she pulls out her hair sticks, so her long black hair falls out of their loops. then she pins back the strands of her bangs that usually frame her face on one side.

she looks up at him, like, see? i did it. ]

How is it?

[teenrebellion]

I think it looks good. Definitely better on their own, too - I think they'd clash more with your hair sticks.

[ravenry]

They're not similar aesthetics. I'll have to find new clothes to go with it.

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, they're more of a modern style. It shouldn't be hard to find something that works with it here, especially if you look in the goth sections.

[ravenry]

Goth? Is that acquainted with bats?

[ goth is too modern and too western for her to know automatically. ]

w1 thursday

[ravenry]

[ that was a lot of blood? hope he went and got healed.

she is looking for him wherever he is to check on him. how is he? ]

[teenrebellion]

[ he got healed!! not for super long but enough. his hands and neck are bandaged up, one arm is in a sling, and he's not actively bleeding yaaay!

he's also changed out of those shredded clothes that's very important. ]

Hey, Liu-san.

[ ...but his throat has seen better days. his voice is just a raspy whisper for now. ]

[ravenry]

[ she frowns at all the bandages and the sling. ]

You may communicate with the I.R.I.S. if that will hurt your throat less. [ ... ] How are you feeling?

[ outside of the obvious, she means. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ he pauses, head tilted as if to listen to something, then pulls up the IRIS with a nod. ]

INTERLUDE

Better. I'm going to go back later, but this is enough for now. I wasn't hurt nearly as bad as the others.

[ravenry]

[ that's curious, but she won't ask about it now. ]

Any kind of hurt is bad, if it requires that much treatment. That you were hurt at all today....

[ isn't that bad enough? she's relieved he's going to go back later, though. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ nods in agreement. ]

INTERLUDE

I don't think Adrastea-san expected things to go that badly, but they helped a lot. I don't know if we'd have made it back without them.

[ pause. ]

INTERLUDE

We're lucky to have those pods in the medbay. They sped up the healing some.

[ravenry]

Was it some kind task with Adrastea? What happened?

[ what led to such injuries for so many? ]

... If one thing works on this ship, at least it is something that heals.

[ she will begrudgingly give it to the medbay for that. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ just smiles wryly at that last part because if that ain't a mood, ]

INTERLUDE

A mission to some other planet. They mentioned it to me earlier this week, but I told them I didn't want to go. I thought that was it, but we got dragged along anyway and even Adrastea-san wasn't sure why.
We were supposed to find something called a heartseed, but they didn't have much information except that there was this whole ceremony about it. So they sent us in.

[ravenry]

A heartseed?

[ her brows furrow. she has no idea what that is either. ]

It sounds like the mission went awry from the beginning if you refused and were taken anyway. [ ... ] How long before things became worse?

[teenrebellion]

INTERLUDE

No kidding.
It wasn't until the ceremony started, but then Owner-san stabbed the announcer in front of everyone and all of the guests started to panic.

[ravenry]

He what?

[ hello? owner? shouxue is alarmed. ]

Was the announcer suspicious in any way?
