weekend zero, sunday

[countermeasures]

[helloooo, buzen! they've met some npcs, they've gotten some information, and jiuqing is now holding onto her bottle of water from her package and going to find buzen.

immediately, when she sees him, she nods a greeting, but then - ]

How is your arm feeling?

[hasteful]

Perfectly fine!

[is this the truth? anyway he's just going to grin as he bounds right up to her]

Actually Doctor Su, I'd like to be more honest with you! May I?

[countermeasures]

Would you? So will you let me see your arm, then?

[a beat.]

But you can tell me whatever you'd like to tell me, too.

[hasteful]

I don't see why not.

[he's. he's been opening the wound but it's fine he'll just shrug off his jacket and start to unbutton his shirt. where are they]

But I should also inform you I'm not a human.

[countermeasures]

[uh. they're somewhere. the mansion, maybe??

anyway, she's watching as he ditches his jacket and shirt, waiting for him to show her exactly what his bite wound looks like now.]

Ah. I thought you must not be, after I saw what they'd put down for your age. Do you mind if I ask what you are, in that case?

week zero, thursday

[hasteful]

[I RUN FOR A PC WITH BRITT!!!!

anyway buzen is just going to do a lil knock knock on the staircase door!! i don't know what floor she lives on but don't worry about it!!]

Buzen Gou, requesting entrance!

[waits politely for answer.... imagine if no one was home]

[countermeasures]

[wouldn't that be wild.

anyway! he's hastefully made his way up to the ninth floor. jiuqing answers the door.]

Buzen? What brings you here?

[hasteful]

[the number of times buzen has just ran his way up to the metallic floor is insane but so funny]

I'm visiting! And scouting, I suppose. Now that you're here, I want to check on you too.

[countermeasures]

That's kind of you. Why don't you come in?

[she steps out of the way and waves him into the apartment!]

You must be hungry or thirsty, having come all the way up here.

[hasteful]

[in he goes!! he bows automatically and then goes to toe off his shoesies to be polite]

Only a bit! This body's still got enough of its strength left. But I do wonder what you have in your kitchen, Doctor Su.

I've seen lots of different varieties so far!

week one, saturday

[countermeasures]

[i don't know what buzen is up to that would bring him up here but some time after the trial - after enough time has passed for jiuqing to get her hand cleaned and wrapped - she heads up to the rooftop for some fresh air and to stare out at the scenery.

when she hears footsteps, she turns back to look.]

Hello, Buzen...

[hasteful]

[rooftop is totally fair - especially since buzen is looking for some peace and quiet. when she turns to him, he offers a small smile]

Hey, Doctor Su. If I knew you were up here, I would've brought some tea.

[ - well, despite everything, he's pretty... calm?]

Would you be opposed to company? I can leave, if you'd rather have time to yourself.

[countermeasures]

I wouldn't be opposed. But I'm afraid I may not be very good company, myself.

[this whole trial was upsetting!! :c our lawyers]

[hasteful]

[that notion gets a shrug from him even as he goes to join her]

Good company, bad company... It's all relative, right?

Just be you. I don't think anyone expects to be taking any of this in stride.

[countermeasures]

...this isn't the first time I've seen someone die.

[...]

But it never does get any easier.

week 2, monday

[hasteful]

[UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC LOCATION YOU WANT TO USE BRITT, i'm going to give us the void!! buzen will just perk up when he notices jiuqing around, jogging on over to her]

Doctor Su! I wanted check in on you - how are you doing?

[still angy? that'd be a mood. he holds his hand out to her automatically, palm up....]

[countermeasures]

[here they are in the void!! she's clearly been by the library at some point today because she has a nice hot tea from the library's vending machine, but she's got legs and can have left the building with it so they don't necessarily have to be there.]

...I'm doing better. Although... I don't seem to be able to use the powers tied to my complementary colors anymore.

[hm. weird.

she would normally not just casually hold hands but it's touch week so she adjusts her hold on her cup so she's got it singlehanded and reaches for her hand with her newly freed up one.]

How are you?

[hasteful]

[hello?????? buzen will frown at that even as he wanders closer to her, taking her hand easily and giving it a soft little squeeze]

What...? Why so suddenly? [his brow furrows] Did you have any dreams or wake up with any weird marks?

How I am doesn't really matter so much anymore - I'm worried about you.

[countermeasures]

No, nothing like that...

[she frowns]

My complementary colors were Amber and Crystalline. But... now I can't use either power. They've probably changed, but if I'm being honest, I was accustomed to those two and I want them back.

[


she's sulking because she can't use crystalline to cheat and use every power]

[hasteful]

Ah.. I've heard of people's complementary powers changing... That's so strange. Mine have stayed the same the whole time.

[he tilts his head]

If you ever need to use Amber, let me know and I can try to summon something for you?

week seven, wednesday

[countermeasures]

[jiuqing is coming to visit!! she peeks in - ]

How do you like the place?

[hasteful]

[buzen is here in his funky little motor home, admiring the three swords that yam made...

and he'll look over his shoulder at the visitor, grinning when he sees her]

I like it a lot. It's a little funny - to see what people conjure up when they think of you. Thanks for all of it, General Su.

[countermeasures]

[she grins back at him]

You're welcome. So - were you able to see us working on them? Or were you busy with your preparations to come over here?

[hasteful]

[he hums thoughtfully]

We saw a little... The little animals were cute!

But we were pretty much trying to race back over here - so at least I was distracted. I had to drive for three, after all.

[their family on a motorcycle that somehow beat malik. hilarious,]

[countermeasures]

You were so fast - it was so cool!

[they do not have motorcycles in daxing




but jiuqing kind of wants one]
