week 0, thursday

[coastal]

[it's probably sometime in the middle of the day, but wherever anaido is, lili is going to march up to him]

Hey.

You better not just accept rolling over and dying tonight, alright?

[STERNLY]

[wowcool]

[He's just standing there, tying his coat around his waist - it's a little hot! He's wearing dorky suspenders underneath, over a collared shirt.]

Hey! [He beams at her, brightly.] Haha, are you that worried about me?

[coastal]

Of course not. Don't flatter yourself!

[tsunTSUN]

I just still don't forgive what you were saying about yourself earlier!

week 0, dieday

[coastal]

[despite everything

lili has responsibilities

and in this case her responsibilities bring her to the chicken condo (the chondo) and she's actually taking time to feed the chickens! however given her incredibly, incredibly unhappy expression, it seems that even the feathered cuties are not making her feel any better

and if he approaches her making any kind of noise,

he will suddenly find a knife pointed at him]

[wowcool]

[That sure is a knife pointed at him.]

[He stares at it for a moment, genuinely surprised, but his expression eases into a smile as he glances at her face.]

Well? [He gestures to the knife.] Go ahead?

[coastal]

[there's a moment where she pauses, evaluating - before closing her eyes and putting the knife aside]

If you're the one who killed him, you'll get what you deserve tomorrow.

[a promise]

But otherwise, I have zero interest in spilling the blood of an innocent.

week 1, friday

[coastal]

[WHEREVER ANAIDO IS - lili is headed in that direction! there seem to be bees constantly hovering around her, but she will regardless be bumbling in that direction, favoring her right leg in her steps ever so slightly.

it's fine. she's bringing two cups of tea now, even as she pouts up at him]

You don't deserve this.

[offers it out to him]

[wowcool]

[Here's Anaido, as bubbly as ever despite the fact that he died. It looks like he went straight for the baths to wash his head and hair, but his coat is still somewhat bloodstained. What is visible now, partially, is a big indent of a scar splitting down his forehead, going into his right eyebrow.]

[It looks surprisingly old, like he got it years ago, even though he certainly didn't have it before.]

Oh? For me? [He blinks down at the offering, before taking the cup of tea. Don't get too close, Lili - he still reeks like the dead.] Thank you...you shouldn't have.

[coastal]

[ . . . . hm.

yeah she's going to take a few steps back.]

You're right. I shouldn't have. [but she did! so shut up!]

... tell me what you saw? I'll trade you, since you missed everything else yesterday.

week 2, thursday

[coastal]

[lili honestly likes the gardens a lot - but when she spots anaido there, she just immediately bristles]

No more wandering into locked cabins on Thursdays for you!

[SOMEONE HAS LOW EXPECTATIONS AND YET]

[wowcool]

Hahahaha, do you think I would do that?

[He seems so cheerful, and yet, THAT'S WHAT HE DID!!!]

[coastal]

You did it last week! Don't laugh about it!

[APPARENTLY SHE THINKS HE'D DO IT AGAIN]

week 4, monday

[coastal]

[off to the petting zoo we go!! lili is going to head in that direction because honestly? she likes animals. she really likes small, cute animals. she's probably got a kitten in her arms when she notices anaido]

Oh.

Hey.

[she'll at least acknowledge his presence...]

[wowcool]

Lili!

[He fingerguns at her, because of course he does.]

Just the lady I want to see! I have a problem only you can help me with!

[coastal]

[oh boy

she fucking hates this already]

... what happened now, Anaido.

[but whatever it is... she will help him....]

week 4, friday

[wowcool]

[Hey, Lili! Aren't you glad to see Anaido? Well, apparently he's so glad to see Lili that he...uh.]

[Tap-dances up to her?]

Hey, Lili.

[HE SOUNDS SO TIRED.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . yeah, she's similarly tired. her eyes are red like she's been crying, and she's wearing a different dress today.]

... hi, Anaido.

Curfew effect?

[wowcool]

[He nods.]

Yes. It's...not great. [And then his eyebrows furrow.] Are you okay?

week 5, thursday

[coastal]

[MY ANAIDO LORE PC - but lili's just going to wander over to him at some point today!!! where is his wheelchair parked today]

Anaido? Do you need help getting to where you're spending curfew tonight?

[wowcool]

Hm?

[He twists his head towards her, offering her a friendly smile.]

Perhaps. I might be staying with Beau, though, so I need to find out where she is going to be.

[coastal]

[he is so jolly for a man who is entirely literally broken]

Alright... I'll come to find you a little bit before curfew if you need help getting to her, okay?

Were you able to get all the tasks done this week like this...?

[anaido is so

wrecked]

w5 friday after death announcement

[wowcool]

[This...this isn't good.]

[Anaido was probably wheeled to the bonfire for the moment. He's still in a state of shock. Dimitri...Dimitri...brother...]

[But then he sees a familiar form. He manages to lift his head - if Lili looks over, he's slumped in his wheelchair like always, but...he seems to be wearing layers upon layers of jackets and and even a few layers of pants???? He looks. Strange.]

Lili? Is that you?

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

Nobility should be recognized by their gait, confidence, and elegance - a sense of poise instilled from both innate ability upbringing.

[ah yes. wonderful to. start the conversation like that.

. . .

but she's a mess. it looks like her bandages on her legs are a bit more haphazard now, all her legs injuries reopened as she was sprinting around camp during the morning trying to -

... do what?]

I couldn't protect him, Anaido. I'm sorry.

w6, monday

[wowcool]

[He's wandering into the library later that day, his fingers trailing over the spines of the books. It seems like he's just here, casually, even giving Lili a light smile as he walks up to her.]

...Any recommendations, Lili?

[coastal]

[she doesn't smile back, but for anaido she nods in greeting.]

Mm... I'm just trying to grab books on science and technology to be honest. If we're all leaving this place behind and burning it down, I want to at least preserve what I want from it?

Dimitri and I wanted to steal modern ideas for our kingdoms after all.

[and she thinks they'll see him again soon - so she'll grab some for him too]
