( continued from! )

This isn't an anime. Weird, complicated games don't really work out.

[ it's just as likely some creep kidnapped them and wants to see them sweat. ]

People like your teammates would be looking for us.

[honkinbigteeth]

What's an anime...?

[well, it's probably not important.]

I think my teammates are probably still alive, or they'd be here.

week 0; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[let's say this is actually after their team meeting. ylfa will go with haru to...the park?]

So, you wanted Gerard on your team because he's a good swimmer?

[ignore that i put this in the wrong place]

[squirt]

[ the park is cute. he's probably too old for a playground, but he parks his butt on one of the swings away. a little distantly: ]

...At first. So, yeah, mostly.

[ a frogman must be unbeatable at breaststroke. ]

week 0; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

[back at the warehouse a little later, once she's returned from prowling around and not doing anything useful.]

...Hey. Is everything okay?

[squirt]

[ he's just laying on the ground. not even one of the sleeping bags, just the cold earth. he looks tired, like he's been running around and exhausting himself while also not doing anything helpful. ]

...Yeah. If you're fine, everyone's safe.

[ yay... they survived......... ]

week 0; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[i know you said you were hiding but you can't hide from me however she will just approach wherever he is to check on him he's free to lie on the ground and disassociate.]

[squirt]

[ team gets to have finders' bonus. he is disassociating, but this time he's doing so at the pool; he's floating there, but will pull himself up to tread water once he spots her. ]

Ylfa. Is something wrong? [ tense... ]

[squirt]

[ haru is just out here feeding a horse. first things first, did she actually get rabies ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[who knows. but she wakes up this morning looking a little under the weather.]

Augh, all those lion fights really take it out of a girl.

w1; thursday

[honkinbigteeth]

why are you and rin fighting

[squirt]

because hes annoying

week 1; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[after trial, she will hang around haru for a while. whether he's at the pool or the warehouse...? she'll give him some space if he seems like he wants it, but won't leave him alone for too long.]

...It really was them.

[squirt]

[ he's at the warehouse, just looking at the graffiti they'd done. it's dark and late out, but there's enough ambient light to see some of it.

and despite haru's tendency to isolate, he never actually minds their company. they can sit here together. ]

It was. [ ... ] I started to doubt it. I didn't think they'd help us... as much as they did. If they were the culprits.

w2 ; tues

[squirt]

[ he's over at the strip mall like he's got a shopping list and isn't sure where to start. ]

Ylfa. [ hi ] Do you think we can steal from these places?

[ probably, right? ]

[honkinbigteeth]

Steal...?

[hmm. she looks around at some of the shadow people.]

They might yell at you...?

[oh also someone finally made her take a bath and get the tangles out of her braids and wash her clothes. thank god.]

week 2; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[she was getting stressed at the end there. unlike me, she didn't think haru did anything, but...stress.]

I'm so relieved we were right.

[squirt]

[ the way i made myself sus and only you noticed in this entire game. i'm sorry froggystyle specifically. ]

Me too. [ so they have enough ingredients to bake more cookies, god ] I feel kind of bad for making Rang point the finger...

[ like, even if the rest of them had suspicions, he definitely didn't leap forward to make them. ]

w3 ; tues

[squirt]

[ they're coming out of ylfa's 1000th showing of princess mononoke. he's sipping on an ice water. ]

That director is pretty famous.

[honkinbigteeth]

Who?

[honestly this is going to lead to some funny lore so keep explaining.]

w4 ; mon

[squirt]

[ probably just at or near their warehouse, there is an oink!

piggy hours.

she can get the literal swimming scene. it's stupid. i can't believe i survived to memshare. but anyway, from haru's perspective, this is SUCH an important relay leg and he HAS to win so bad for his team. and his feelings when he gets out of the pool—there's a moment where he braces for a punch, and the surprise and relief and fondness after is something he's been waiting for for many years of his short life.

wow... swimming relays. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[this is so precious. i can't wait to memshare you in return something horrible. ylfa is happy to get to see a nice memory, though. to see haru doing what he's good at and more importantly to see him with his friends and to see rin.]

...You thought he'd be mad at you?

week 4; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

[i'm sure it's a bit startling when she bursts into the warehouse wearing a cute school uniform with blood on her arms and face and ears.]

Haru! Haru!

[squirt]

[ HELLO I HATE YOU

yes he startled, though he's also wiping blood off himself right now. ]

...Ylfa. [ ylfa explain ]

week 7; tuesday

[honkinbigteeth]

[reappears in our old catchall.

post-llama, let's hang out in the warehouse.]

...That was pretty fun, huh?

[squirt]

[ he's brought not-bug ice cream back from mcdonalds. ]

Yeah. It wasn't bad. I've missed being a llama.

week 7; wednesday again? no problem

[honkinbigteeth]

[back in the warehouse, i guess. letting the froggies into their frog pond, though she still plans to keep them close.]

...Hey, Haru.

[squirt]

[ letting one of the frogs jump onto the back of his hands. ]

Hey. We made it.

[ he doesn't sound like, ECSTATIC, but just tiredly relieved. one step forward past getting blown up. ]
