week 0, tuesday? probably tuesday by now

[coastal]

[I'M ASSUMING YAMS IS GOING TO COME UP TO FIND HER,

she is probably by the chickens]

Did you need something?

[okitactless]

[He is not here to learn that's true AND HELLO LILI BY THE CHICKENS. Where did the chickens come from? Good thing Yasu doesn't care. He's looking thoughtful today, crouching down and resting his chin in his palms.]

Lili-kun, you're a lady, right?

[coastal]

I don't like where this question is going but the answer is yes.

[goddammit]

And just Lili is fine.

[okitactless]

[Calling people by their names without an honorific? Sounds fake

Anyway]

Then, do you know how other ladies think?

week 0, post-trial

[coastal]

[well

she admittedly can't help her emotional reaction when evan explains

and now here she is, marching out of the mess hall, absolutely fuming.

to yams - ]

... I'm going to strangle him. Remind me that Ookurikara gets first chance so I don't try to cut him.

[okitactless]

You can attack him together.

[TSURUMARU GETS NO SYMPATHY. YAMS TAKES BACK EVERYTHING HE SAYS ABOUT THEM BEING FRIENDS.]

What was he thinking?

[coastal]

[unfortunately,

lili is still too attached to tsurumaru to disown him]

... he probably wasn't. And that's - that's what I hate the most.

[okitactless]

...Evan-kun's death in the castle was... horrible.

[NOBODY DOXXED HIM IN TRIAL but he'll do it now.]

If he has to go through something bad again, because of this... the others will never forgive Tsurumaru-san.

[IN FACT THEY PROBABLY WON'T ANYWAY but if Evan's fate isn't murder then he might have a 0.001% chance of survival]

w1 FRIDAY

[okitactless]

[Well!!

Yasusada is alive

He is also. Soaking wet as he trudges back towards the cabins, and there is

something wet and black?? all over his face

hm]

[coastal]

[well lili is going to be by the bonfire actually, and she's. squinting? she's literally just squinting when she notices yasusada

and she's just going to wave him down]

Come here.

[okitactless]

[When he spots her, he'll shuffle on over, but he's humming a tune as he does. His hair is very clearly a mess, he's rubbing his forehead, and the closer he gets, the more obvious it is that it's ink that was poorly washed off.

He shuffles over, and promptly sneezes. Hello.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . yeah she's tired. she pats the spot next to her on the log bench.]

Where were you?

week 1, post-trial

[coastal]

[alright, she's going to look for yams. she looks tired, and exhausted, but she'll wander out to go check on the sword.]

... hey.

I don't plan on letting this go as is - so I might need your assistance.

[okitactless]

[Since he's still got The Sniffles, he's probably on his way back to the cabin now, but he'll stop when she approaches. He looks tired--the kind of tired that's deeper than physical exhaustion--but he nods, immediately straightening up.]

What is it?

[coastal]

... I don't have a plan yet.

[but she keeps the 'yet' implying that she will.]

But I want to find out who did this - and I want to decipher how to keep them from killing anyone else before they get the chance, because we don't even know why they did.

[okitactless]

Then, it definitely wasn't you?

[He doesn't sound suspicious or accusatory--mostly just curious. She's not the only one he's flat-out asked.]

week 3, monday

[coastal]

[well, lili is always going to be in the gardens if she has nothing else to do - though she'll at least stop by the gazebo so that she doesn't end up drenched in the rain. just because she doesn't believe in umbrellas doesn't mean she wants to get her new clothes all soaked.

though she'll blink in surprise when she catches yams there.]

Oh - Yasusada. Hello.

[he gets bare minimum politeness bc he's a sword]

[okitactless]

[UMBRELLAS ARE FOR CHUMPS although Yasusada's left his blade tucked safely away in his cabin today, because his human body is apparently destined to be soggy all the time, but that doesn't mean his blade has to be.

That said, he's probably at least making a mild effort to stay dry, so he'll wander into the gazebo too. If he gets sick again, he's gonna get yelled at...]

Hello, Lili. [Still weird not to use an honorific with her, but he's doing his best.] Do you like it out here?

[coastal]

[he's doing his best and lili appreciates it - the question manages to get her to huff a bit, an amused sound.]

... yeah. The flowers, the rain, the architecture... It reminds me of my lands. The Water Tribe actually looks a lot like this. Just with more rivers and ponds.

How about you?

week 3, post-meeting

[coastal]

[alright yams, wherever you are, she's coming to find you]

... Yasusada.

Did you not know?

[okitactless]

[He would much rather be out by the horses right now, or better yet, working through some sword drills to clear his mind, but for now, he's in the Memorial Hall. He's sitting away from the clay figures they recognize, knees drawn up and arms wrapped around his legs. His gaze is fixed on his sword, resting beside him, and he only looks at her when she calls his name.

Wordlessly, he shakes his head.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . oh sweet, sweet sword. her expression turns sympathetic at that, and she'll move to kneel down in front of him, letting a hand fall to the top of his head.]

... I heard from Dick - because it was in PH's journal. I confirmed with PH that it was true. That's why I thought you knew, because you went with Dick and Sanji to the cabin.

[ . . . ]

Your former master is one of the people asleep, right?

[he was mentioned before. and if lili could take any guess at what could cause him to be hurting, it would be... that.]

week 4, post-trial

[coastal]

[i am mcfucking dying time for a pc for real,,,,,

anyway lili is going to poke her head into the isolation cabin]

Favorite food?

[okitactless]

[I AM SO GODDAMN TIRED AND COMING DOWN FROM TWO DAYS OF EXTREME STRESS and so is Yasusada so he's probably also feeling exhausted?! Now that he's stopped sobbing his eyes out, at least for now. He's got his Okita doll tucked into his good arm, though he'll tilt his head at the question.]

Is this 20 questions again?

[Why are you asking this,]

[coastal]

[please save yams,,,]

No.

... I just think you should get to eat what you want, so you can keep your strength up for whatever happens tomorrow.
