Week 0: Saturday

[9mon]

[There is just a boy on the roof, looking out into the abyss and a bit worried.

He has his newly created plushie in his arms.]

[slashay]

[NOOOOOO SWEET KUMON... Kashuu hasn't even talked to this mans much yet, but as a fellow performer, it really gets to him that this big, fun game they'd planned had taken such a sour turn...

He meanders over, dressed down to the innermost layer of his usual idol outfit now, and reaches out to place a hand on Kumon's shoulder.]

You okay?

[slashay]

[At some point later in the afternoon, Kashuu is nyooming over to Kumon wherever he is!! And just stopping in front of him, reaching out for his hands because he is unfortunately a very tactile sword lad. Slad.

Anyway.]

Hey, hey! You seem like the kinda guy who's really in touch with your emotions. Like, when you watch a sad movie or listen to some good music, does it move you?

[9mon]

[It's not unfortunate because Kumon takes his hand without a second thought. Holding hands is for friends and is not reserved for marriage, despite what some 14 year olds may say.]

Uh-huh. I've cried at a lot of movies and stuff.

[He does not know why he's bringing it up now.]

w1 thurs

[slashay]

[A TEXT FOR THE LAD since he was busy running around when these other groups were coming out help.]

you doing ok??

[9mon]

im ok
kind of
still hrut

w1: Sunday

[9mon]

[ He can't tell if it was worse or better not being able to see at the end?

But he can tell he feels terrible and there's extremely little he can do right now. ]

[slashay]

[Yeah! That was terrible! He wants a refund, thanks.

But he's doing some rounds to check on the squishy humans and squishy non-humans, so he'll be approaching Kumon with a water bottle. Fancy mineral water from the Metallic floor...]

Here - I think this kinda stuff is important.

[Humans drinking water in times of high stress... Sounds about right.]

[slashay]

[A SOFT, SQUISHY LAD...

Kashuu's in the middle of a break at the dojo, sitting on the edge of the hall floor that leads outside and wearing a very sensible outfit. There's an uchigatana-sized bokuto laying across his lap and a bottle of water in one hand, which he raises toward Kumon whenever he moseys in.]

Hiya! Are you here for a lesson?

[9mon]

[Look at him with his one arm in a splint, he thinks it'd probably be a bit hard to take lessons like this.

Still, he waves back.]

Can you do it one handed?

w2: Tuesday

[9mon]

[He will be looking around until he finds Kashuu wherever he is. Looks like he did end up getting his arm healed at some point.

Kumon waves when he sees Kashuu.]

Hey! I heard you were really good at make up?

[slashay]

[A wave! Seems he's on his way out of the apartments, freshly showered and looking a little miffed... But his mood buoys a little at that.]

I'm super good at it, yeah! Why, need me to do something for you?

w2 sun

[slashay]

[Well! Kashuu definitely seems more put-together now than before. He's just kind of sitting on the outer edge of the dojo, looking out toward the dirt of the training ground and kicking a foot against the wood below. Whenever he spots Kumon, though, he'll nod in quiet greeting.]

...You holding up okay?

[All of this death and mayhem has to be rough for the squishy humans... At least he's used to it, even if it sure does suck when it hits this close to home.]

[9mon]

[He goes to sit next to Kashuu and cuddle up to his side.]

... I'm... I'll be okay.

[If only they had a therapist with all of this happening.]

w3 mon

[slashay]

[They're bound to pass each other somewhere at some point in the void. Maybe they've both decided to check their sweet new theater out at the same time! He does dig this place, even if the idea of performing without Buzen is, hm. Sad.

Whenever he spots Kumon, he'll lift a hand.]

Heya. How're you feeling today?

[It's probably about to be worse! Or maybe it will just be cute.

re: memshare, lmk if u have a pref for any of these! from kumon, maybe good dream/bad dream, stress fever or we don't have to win, or anything else you think might fit!]

[9mon]

[Can I get a sweeling (sword feeling).]

I'm alright.

[Even if he's not totally fine, he's mostly fine and he's really banking on that mostly ok.

We'll go with stress fever.]

What about you?

w3 sun

[slashay]

[Kashuu's already worked off a lot of his steam because he didn't want to be too sharp-edged around sweet Kumon, one of their last remaining normies... But whenever he finds him, he'll approach, quiet and careful.]

...You still holding up okay, after all of that?

[9mon]

[What a question... Kumon can be found sitting at the edge of the stage, playing with the baseball he made the first week they were here.]

... Yeah, I'm okay. [For right now. He doesn't think his body can take another shock to the system today though.]

What about you?

w4 mon

[slashay]

[New week, new locations! Kashuu's hanging out here on the beach, though he's covering his arms up and also wearing an enormous fckin sunhat about it. He'll wave whenever he spots Kumon.]

Hiya! Pretty nice place, huh?

[9mon]

Yeah!

[He'll come running over. Kumon's got his usual outfit with the sports jacket on. He also seems to have a few bottles of water.]

You look cute!

w4: Saturday

[9mon]

[He's sitting in the lobby of the apartments... he's not ready to go back upstairs yet.]

[slashay]

[What a mood... This is not good immersion therapy and it feels like every week things probably get a little harder for their normies. Kashuu will come and sit down near him, the vibes tired and frustrated, but also concerned.]

Need anything?

[Food, water, painkillers, a warm hug?]

W6: Monday

[9mon]

[He pokes his head into the swoom, and then fully walks in when he sees Kashuu.]

Is this one kinda familiar to you?

[slashay]

[Oho, a familiar face! Kashuu will wave from where he's standing, straightening up. He was probably talking to the swords again... As one does.]

Kinda, yeah! It's not really like the museums back home, though... The swords there all have their own glass cases and really soft, nice fabric to lay on.

w6 fri

[slashay]

meant to check up on you yesterday
are you doing ok?

[Like. Not counting the fact that their ITSUKI AND ESTINIEN ARE DEAD.]

[9mon]

More or less, yeah.
What about you? I heard you went on one of those adventures?

W6: Saturday

[9mon]

[He's going to the medbay to check up on Kashuu.]

[slashay]

[He's here! He has not podded yet, but he's just vibing. Well, like. Vibing but in a way where he's just radiating an aura of murderous fury. He's got one hand pressing a handkerchief to his mouth, and he's looking at his phone in the other.]

w6 sun

[slashay]

[WELL!! True enough Danny had murdered someone because he went and refracted about it, but it's still awkward to talk to someone close to a person you just helped murder in return. Whenever their paths cross after he's cleaned himself up, he hesitates for a second, expression still shuttered.]

...Kumon.

[9mon]

[He's really all cried out, but it's so obvious that he's been sobbing.

When he comes across Kashuu there's a moment of hesitation before he pulls him into a hug.]
