week six, saturday

[countermeasures]

[like six hours after the trial, jiuqing returns to the apartment!



i don't actually know if kashuu is here. if he's not, then i guess he'll just find her on the couch staring at her phone when he gets back. if he is, she'll wave when she enters.]

[slashay]

[Kashuu is not there! But he will be back soon enough it's fine. He's still not podded yet either - he just came back to leave a note, letting her know where he'd be spending the night. But she's here instead!

Six hours later he's probably fizzled out of the worst of his anger, and now he just looks tired. He'll make his way over, sitting down nearby.]

--Hi.

[countermeasures]

[kashuu pLEASE POD]

...hello.

[she shifts on the couch so that he has more space to sit, then reaches over for his hand.]

You've been with Sir Yasusada...?

[slashay]

[STOP HE WILL!! He'll reach over to take her hand, though, but he shakes his head at the question.]

I was talking to people. Malik and Hot Pants both started acting weird right after trial ended, so...

[He was on a Hunt™.]

[countermeasures]

...

[she nods, giving his hand a little squeeze]

...is anyone behaving oddly?

[slashay]

[He's quiet for a second, but then shakes his head.]

Not anywhere near the level that Hot Pants and Malik were behaving, anyway.

[countermeasures]

...

Then we'll just have to keep a closer eye on things tomorrow, and... hope.

[please no goatmonsters...]

[slashay]

[GOATMONSTERS... They're coming.]

...Yeah. And at least we know what kinda possibilities we're facing.

[No surprise goat monsters, at least...]

[countermeasures]

[she closes her eyes]

Yes. It's better than being caught completely by surprise.

[slashay]

[watch him have cursed them and they're up against something totally whack tomorrow]

Mm. I mean, I guess we do a pretty good job at adapting to the surprising stuff this stupid place throws at us anyway, though.

[countermeasures]

...well, it's either adapt or don't, so...

[what choice do they have but to adapt?]

[slashay]

...Yeah, that's true.

[ADAPT OR DIE!! He will adapt and then die. He looks for a second like he's going to cough again, but gives her hand a little squeeze.]

--Want me to make some tea?

[countermeasures]

...if you wouldn't mind it.

[slashay]

Yeah, I don't.

[Any distraction is a good distraction. He'll get up and ease his way into the kitchen to start brewing some tea.]

...Glad Sage left this tea earlier. It's pretty good.

[countermeasures]

What kind is it?

[most of shale's - caduceus's? i don't know what we're supposed to be calling them now that they've been revealed!! - teas are pretty good. jiuqing can't think of a single one she's tried that she hasn't liked.]

[slashay]

[meanwhile me just sweatily calling them their npc names because i either cannot remember how to spell their real ones or simply don't remember what they are]

Y'know, I'm not sure, exactly? He left it here as a gift that first week we went on a stupid adventure, back when he left the eyebrow plant and stuff.

[The. The thank you plant for giving him eyebrows, that is.]

[countermeasures]

...that was very nice of him to do.

[shale is so good.]

[slashay]

[SHALE IS SO GOOD we l*ve shale.]

Right? He's a good guy... Really good.

[countermeasures]

He really is. We're lucky to know him.
