[ alex actually has a reason to be back at the emporium the day after they all woke up in the middle of the street like drunk hobos. she doesn't seem to be looking around the store at all, instead making a beeline straight for the counter.
she looks around, before looking down at the countertop. specifically at a little piece of paper that someone's left there. ]
[ if hansa is snooping around the emporium he'll eventually come across alex, hunched over what looks like a display case of animal grabbers. there's one tucked under her arm that looks like a shark, and also might look a little more ... scuffed than the others?
she's holding two others in her hands - one that looks like a tiger and one that looks like a rhinoceros. every now and again, she's using the handle to make it look like they're snapping their jaws.
for what is, essentially, a grown lady playing with plastic kid's toys, she looks like she's taking this very seriously. ]
[ i'm assuming they're just walking around like someone put them in the get-along shirt, except the "get along" part is more "vibing in the same general area because one of you went on a wild cyoa".
but eventually, alex is just going to tap hansa on the shoulder. ]
[Yeah, its still affection week. He's been tired for even more reasons than this whole Kano mess, so when he sees Alex at the riverside, he just heaves a sigh as he wanders up.]
[ well, what a lovely weekend it's been. no stress, everything has worked out perfectly for everyone.
ha.
she heads for the bridge automatically, her freebie bottle of alcohol in one hand because for the first time since she got here she really feels like she might need it, and just comes to a stop when she spots hansa already there. ]
...
[ she's just gonna lean over and hand him the bottle, honestly. ]
I think if anyone hasn't broken open their bottles already this is probably the weekend to do it.
[ firstly; i’m delighted this is happening in pirate cosplay, thanks mods.
secondly; surprise. she’s down by the port and honestly, it’s not going to take a mod-audited feelings jam for it to be clear she’s not doing so great? she looks a little scared, and she’s pacing the wooden dock in a way that just looks stressed. one arm is wrapped around her waist and the other is in a fist, her knuckles pressed against her mouth.
she’s mumbling something to herself, but between the pacing and her half covering her mouth it’s not clear what she’s saying. ]
this has been a fun day. making new friends. like that bird that coughed up a sword and stabbed her.... angry snakes.... leeches....
she's managed to shower and change and not smell like a literal swamp monster, all without disturbing the bandage she's now got around her leg - which is impressive considering francy made the showers tiny as hell. considering everything that's happened today, she looks pretty alright, and is just chilling in the lobby, writing something down on a sheet of paper.
a lot of sheets of paper actually. wow alex, is this a novel? ]
[ the book shop's been open just around 24 hours and alex has already nicked a book from it - specifically the sign language book she was looking at the other day.
her attention is half on it, and half on her surroundings, but she does stop when she spots hansa near the inn. ]
[ well this has been a terrible day. as soon as the groups drift apart she’s gone for a little bit to check in on yoshizawa before going looking for hansa.
when she spots him over by the railroad station she picks up the pace, before stopping next to him. ]
... alright then, what happened. You all seem so... [ god what’s even the word for it? ]
[ after the trial, she's just sat somewhere in the corner between rooms 10 and 11, arms folded on her knees and just staring at the carpet honestly. her little t-rex is grumbling somewhere to her left, but she's not really paying it much attention. ]
she just rushes at him with a speed she really hadn't thought she was capable of, and grabs him by the shoulders. she looks like she wants to shake him but all she really does is... well. well up like she's about to start crying, honestly. ]
[ another week, another location. alex is already dressed for the occasion, in an outfit she's already taken from the store rather than wear her halloween one.
she's looking in the window of the gun shop, with a complicated expression on her face. ]
... They're really just going to let us have access to this?
[ her little t-rex is just sat on her foot. lil'rex doesn't give a damn. ]
[ it’s wednesday, and alex is on the look out for hansa - just wandering generally, keeping an eye out for him around the plaza and town area, or the new location.
[ me: trying to remember locations from only a few days ago. alex is sat outside the saloon, watching people wandering past and occasionally shifting to avoid bumping into memory bubbles as they idly float past.
one of them gets a very unimpressed look when it pops up close to her arm, and makes her shuffles a few paces to the left to avoid it. ]
I cannot wait for these things to be gone for good...
