w0, friday

[doublefists]

[ she's just sprawled out on the seats, head hanging upside down off one of them, scrolling through her phone. her legs are all over and she's about as manspread as she can be... wow, rude.

she glances at rosamund when she sees her pass by, though, and then: ]

Hey, you're - Rosamund? I haven't talked to anybody from the Spacecoast one yet.

WHERE AM I shoots a nuke at my inbox

[rosebleed]

And why not? Are we too out of this world?

[heh heh.

But she'll slow to a stop, one hand on her hip and tilting her head to meet Vi's eyes.]

And you are — hold on a moment, it starts with a V. Correct? I don't have these things memorized, but I did stop to admire your hair. It's such a lovely shade of pink, just like a bouquet of carnations.

WHAT A MOOD

[doublefists]

[ snorts, at that first bit, but she adjusts, sitting up just enough to look at rosamund without being a delinquent. ]

You got the gist of it. It's Vi. [ also like, that compliment makes her pause. a beat. ] Uh - thanks.

[ GOOD GRACEFUL GOOD JOB she recovers easily enough, giving her a grin. ]

Shit, if I'm the bouquet, you're the whole garden. What a charmer.

W0 FIRST SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[somehow catching her after glass punch and double-taking at the sight of her knuckles.]

Vi? What happened?

[doublefists]

[ she punched with her metal glove on, so it's less bad, but it was still a brick wall so like. owie.

she's shaking it out with an annoyed look. ]

This is that one guy's fault. [ GRUMBLES. ]

[rosebleed]

Who? [a concerned but sharp look.] You weren't in a fight, were you?

[Nevermind. She comes closer, holding out her hands and taking no prisoners.]

Come, let me see.

w0, MONDAY

[doublefists]

[ we have arrived... at the trash. she's crouched in front of the hangman, staring at it. mumbles to herself... ]

It's gotta be beware, but. [ squints. ] Quick... crazy... fuck, I see where this guy was going with this.

[rosebleed]

[Also crouching. Spider-man meme except they are both facing the same direction.]

There must be a reason they deliberately avoided putting in the answer. Since it's so obvious.

[Holds her hand.]

[doublefists]

[ oh... how forward...

no, it's normal, actually. vi holds her hand back, twining their fingers as she stares at the puzzle... ]

I don't even know if there's a point to it. It's not like the person who made it can answer, probably. [ huff. ] Wonder why it was blocked off until now.

W0 SECOND FRIDAY

[rosebleed]

Only one. [Said with a grimace.] Maybe it's callous to say, but thankfully that's all we have.

[doublefists]

[ she's out here with a drink, against a wall somewhere. ]

No, you're right. Off to a slow start. [ ... which sucks to say, but. ] You okay? How'd last night go?

W0 SECOND SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[Rosamund is sat near the window at the relaxation area. It's a posture that has that old timey tranquillity of a maiden by a pond, though the lighting here is not half so soft and dreamy as oil paintings. Just the harsh gleam of public lights and stars you can't reach or walk under.

She doesn't look morose so much as resigned. But she'll offer a dim smile as she catches sight of the other girl.]

Off to a rough start, aren't we?

[doublefists]

[ your edit took me out bc it took me until today to realize that same thing don't worry

she'll come over, rubbing the inside of her wrists. the way she looks - the painting quality, the poise. just like a princess. someone a little out of reach. vi frowns, and flops down next to her. holds out a hand. something grounding. ]

Thought we got it wrong at first. So yeah.

w1, MONDAY

[doublefists]

[ don't mind the glowing tattoo on her arm she's ignoring that but wanders up to her at some point!! hello!! ]

Hey - you wanna go somewhere? I don't know what you're into, but there's a new clothes place. There's the skating rink too, I've never done it.

[rosebleed]

Skating?

[Look she loves clothes don't get her wrong but also she hasn't heard that word in ages.]

Oh! I remember, I tried that once on the Eudora? I'd love a chance to go for it again.

W1 THURSDAY

[rosebleed]

[rude af

Rosamund has absolutely been here to help with healing, what state do we find Vi in now

Gently oh so tenderly cleaning and tending the bullet wounds on her back once the projectiles are out.]

I'm sorry, just a bit more on this spot.

[doublefists]

[ this is the funniest thread we could have today, tbh

she is allowing this! she's... been defib'd, because she would've died if she hadn't, so. there are bullet hole wounds in her back, healing but still gnarly. her arm has a gross human teeth bite mark on it, and there are healing slashes from some sort of blade across her back and arms, but everything else seems okay. mostly, she's tired.

she doesn't react to the wounds being cleaned, though she is tense. doesn't say much either. there's a hair tie around her wrist, and she slips a finger underneath it, pulling it back to let it snap against her skin.

finally: ]

I'm fine, princess. [ ... ] Sorry. That I said I hate you. I don't.

W5 THURSDAY

[rosebleed]

[The way we hit 90 in here, wow.

anyway hello. She has migrated to the gate entrances, as they seem the most vacated and spacious place of what she's found so far. Her clothes have been exchanged for a simple dress, and she wanders, hand on the glass as she slowly walks the perimeter.

Then suddenly, her pace halts. Her back may be turned to the inside but the sudden shake of her shoulders is unmistakeable, the way she brings up a second hand to the glass to brace.

Worst is the cacophony of emotion. Maybe that's the draw over here. It's blaring like a storm siren, sharp and hurt and frightened beyond measure. The girl herself makes scarcely a sound, her breath caught in her throat.]

[doublefists]

[ ;;

oh boy. okay, well. vi is - still freaked out a little, but those emotions startle her, and for a second she thinks there's something really wrong. maybe it's aventurine, after his trip, losing his shit, or someone else getting memshared and traumatized or something, she doesn't know. but she instinctively goes towards the gates, towards the emotion, because as always she is someone who wants to fix things.

and then pauses, catching sight of rosamund. what she hopes is her. her own emotions are a garbled mess, but. she doesn't leave. just waits, because she's in rosamund's line of sight.

there's a lot of things she's never worked through, while being here. ]

w5, SUNDAY

[doublefists]

[ what are we

by which i mean she'll probably catch rosamund tonight and be like, do you want to get a drink ]

[rosebleed]

[to which Rosamund will say yes please.

And immediately order whisky shots. I turned this into her whole personality somehow but that's what happens when your show has a running gag.]

So, heading right on back. What's the first thing you think you'll do?

W7 MONDAY

[rosebleed]

[okay takes her to the Meadow bc flowers, they can wander anywhere else though...also if you want any effects or mems pls say so/spring them upon me

Rosamund just flops over in the foliage, happy as a clam.]

Thank goodness. It's still not as wild as the real outdoors, but it's much better than nothing?

[doublefists]

[ flowers!! no, she likes it here. she'll follow, only slightly limping. inflicts memshare on you in a bit, but first. ]

Yeah, it's way better than nothing. I've been feeling cramped for ages. [ sits down next to her in the flowers... and picks some of them, already absently making flower bracelets. ]

You had some outdoor places on the other side.

W7 SATURDAY

[rosebleed]

[AAAH MY VI. She will come grab her, pulling lightly at her arm.]

One more drink, just for the road? I think we'll all be so eager to go home tomorrow, and I'd hate to miss saying goodbye.

[doublefists]

[ a little ping of like, something happy and pleased, when she takes her arm. ]

Yeah - of course. I wasn't going to skip out on you. [ goes wherever rosamund wants ] Let's go. You - excited? That we got this far.
