week 3, sunday post execution

[chanteuser]

[ she's walking very quickly, looking for izumo. where is she? she's walking near the inn... ]

[sacredchants]

[ she'll find izumo on her way to the inn, for sure, one look at the phs and she has her mind on a mission. ]

[chanteuser]

Izumo?

[ she's falling into step with her, moving as fast as she can. ] Is Fox...?

[sacredchants]

I...

[ she'll stop so that alex can catch up and pause for a moment. ]

I just want to make sure there's nothing to worry about.

[chanteuser]

They said they lose powers on Thursday, does it have a lasting effect?

[sacredchants]

I don't know. I'll have to ask.

[ ... ]

Tiger seemed fine when they were on the bottom but—

[ she'll give her head a shake. ]

[chanteuser]

But it's more worrying as the weeks go by?

[sacredchants]

[ she opens her mouth to say something

then closes it and...

... ]

I find myself worrying about a lot of things I never thought I would.

[chanteuser]

I think that's... just how this place works. You end up worrying about things and people you never thought you would.

[ and sometimes you have a izumo-level weekend because of it ]

Caring isn't bad though.

[sacredchants]

[ HAHAHAha...ye..ah.... she might have gotten off easy this week but now she has something far more dangerous to lose. ]

Isn't it? It leaves you so exposed.

[chanteuser]

[ looks sideways. laughs nervously. oh boy. ]

... It's worth it though. Difficult, but if it's important it'll be worth it.

[sacredchants]

[ she...doesn't know what to say, honestly, to that. there's no way she's taking back what happened or regretting it but.

hm. ]

I... He...clarified things.

[ you know, to be transparent about the Things. ]

[chanteuser]

[ she nods. ]

You talked to him then. And figured things out?

[sacredchants]

He...was the one who brought it up.

[ but she nods? kind of?? ]

[chanteuser]

[ alphy is brave and perfect ]

...

Do you feel better, knowing where you both are with this?

[sacredchants]

[ i mean. wriggles fingers at brave but sure..? ]

I don't regret it.

[chanteuser]

[ shhhh, my elezen son. ]

... [ she looks thoughtful. ] It's... too easy to have regrets here, if you waste time. Or, that's what I think now.

[ ... and then she pats Izumo's shoulder. ]

Come on. You were looking for Fox -- I don't know if it'll be a bother if I tag along, but it might save them coming here twice just to be checked on. If you're okay with it.

[sacredchants]

[ he did his absolutely best and it was very soft. lives in great fear for the unlocks. ]

You think now? [ as opposed to not??? but moving on, i guess. ] Right, I was, but I want to make them an offering before I go.

I always try to bring something even if they tell me not to. It's...kind of a habit.

[chanteuser]

[ looks away from unlocks ]

Yes. That's what I think now. [ sometimes you figure some things out between girl talk, izumo. ]

Oh, what were you going to give them?

[sacredchants]

[ looks at this catch-all comment count and just fuckin cries. ]

Then, does this mean you have someone as well?

[ IT GOES BOTH WAY ALEX!!! ]

I think doughnuts this time.

[chanteuser]

[ hrrrffffgg. ]

... There's someone here I care for, a lot. Yes. [ leave her alone no bully ]

Were you going to make them or just find some?

[sacredchants]

Can I ask who they are?

[ NO ALEX. SHE MUST KNOW. ]

...but I was thinking of making some. I've made everything else for them so far.

[chanteuser]

... Mm. I'd like to keep that to myself, for the moment.

[ haha.

so much has happened this weekend. let her keep some of the good parts for herself. ]

It'll be quicker if you have an extra pair of hands, right? Let me help.

[sacredchants]

[ honestly? fair. it's not like izumo is going to pry. ]

Don't forget what you told me, then. [ no hypocrites here!!! ] It really does seem like we don't have time to not say anything.

And of course. I plan on drawing little cat faces on them—normally I'd do a fox but one cat shouldn't be a problem.

[ also fox doughnuts are a bit...strange. ]

[chanteuser]

I think we're okay, in that respect. But... you're right. There isn't really time for leaving anything up in the air.

[ god did she ever realise that today. ]

... You could do orange icing? You get cats with orange coloured fur, right? So it would fit the cat theme without it being too strange.
