[ dragon cabin round 2: why is lili here ]

[coastal]

Comments

week 2, thursday

[coastal]

[she's marching into dragon cabin either with kara or because one of the fools let her in like she lives here now, which like

she more or less does? it's fine.

presumably zenitsu is being odd so she's just going to squint]

What happened to him now?

[overruns]

[ it's kind of Improper to have a woman in their cabin like this, but does he think lili will listen if he points it out? no. at least it hasn't gotten too bad, probably because yu hasn't been dead more than a week. they have that much respect for the deceased, at least. will things get worse? stay tuned.

dimitri frowns. ]

I'm sure it's fine...

[ he glances over at zenitsu too, not sure at all. ]

[swordflash]

[Zenitsu lies in bed, staring up at the ceiling with his hands folded over his chest as he mumbles lowly to himself:]

He will . . . He won't . . . He will . . . Or maybe he won't? No, he definitely will . . . or . . .

[The rest of the world is dead to him.]

[unfriendliest]

[








hm ]

...He's still cursed, right?

[coastal]

[ . . . lili has no mercy so she's just going to be wandering in and

nudging zenitsu's shoulder]

Trouble in paradise?

[she glances at the other two]

Probably. Ash still can't hear, so.

[some effects last so fucking long]

[overruns]

Hopefully they'll be better soon... [ it feels like zenitsu has been in love forever now, even if it's really only been a few days. anyway he tries to sound sympathetic, sitting on the edge of his troubled roommate's bed beside lili. ]

Is everything all right, Zenitsu?

[unfriendliest]

[ kara shrugs. been there, done that. ]

He'll probably be fine in a few days. [ assuming jae isn't death flagging us!! ] All we can do is keep an eye on him so he doesn't do anything rash.

[swordflash]

[Lili is scary (and Ookurikara is right there), so Zenitsu snaps upright and throws his arms around one of Dimitri's shoulders, wailing.]

What if he doesn't love me back!

[coastal]

Ah. I see.

[




she's going to pat dimitri's back]

Good luck.

[she's going to hang out with kara]

[overruns]

[ he stiffens when zenitsu throws himself at him, watching helplessly as lili slams that betray button ]

Ah... [ he looks to kara. help???? he. awkwardly pats zenitsu's shoulder. ] W-Why would you think that, Zenitsu...?

[unfriendliest]

[ why would you ask kara, an emotionally stunted sword, this ]

That guy isn't worth anyone's time, anyway.

[ no really why would you ask kara for help ]

[swordflash]

Shut up!

[Shooting Ookurikara a look, his words lack bite when he sounds this distressed.]

I'll never forgive you if you say something like that again! Of course he's worth it!

[coastal]

[oh - and so lili is glaring back at zenitsu, expression sharp]

You're not in a position to forgive. Rethink how you said that.

[KARA CAN BE A RUDE BITCH, BUT YOU CAN'T BE A RUDE BITCH AT KARA]

So what happened? He left you alone for a while or something?

[overruns]

[ children, please. he is not trained to deescalate these situations, the people of faerghus probably just beat the shit out of each other as conflict resolution. in the face of this, he can only do his best. ]

Lili, I'm sure Zenitsu is just... compromised. [ emotionally and curse-wise. ] Was it something Asch did?

[unfriendliest]

[ he's just giving lili this look because?? that sounds so extreme?? ]

[swordflash]

[Does he rethink it?

His lips tremble and tears prick at his eyes anew—hardly a new sight for anyone here—but then he jumps out of bed to bolt for the door.]

I've had enough! Just leave me alone for a while!

[At least he remembers to slip his sandals on before taking off. He's fast when he puts his mind to it.]

[coastal]

—Can someone get the door?!

[ZENITSU WHY]

[overruns]

[ dimitri very nearly falls off the bed with how quickly zenitsu zooms past him, so he is definitely not getting him or the door. sorry dragon cabin, we are at it once again. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ well your first mistake was relying on kara, one of the slowest katanas in his class so

god

there goes zenitsu

terrible job, everyone ]

[coastal]

.... terrible job, everyone!

[SHE'S GOING TO SAY IT OUT LOUD]

Let's go search for someone. On Thursday evening. Again.

[overruns]

We have to stop doing this.

[ he sounds exasperated, very nearly capsizing onto the mattress himself. please, this is an actual hat trick of people running out of dragon cabin before curfew, now. ]

I was going to meet with Flayn and Yin Yu anyway—I will keep an eye out for him while I'm out.

[unfriendliest]

[ storming towards the door, grumbling ]

...If they call his name tomorrow, I'll kill him again myself.

[coastal]

There's a line.

[but she's just going to look rather tired herself, which is very funny after being worried sick the first week and missing last week - before she turns to dimitri]

We have plans to meet with Ash—

The not cursed—hm.

The not infuriati—hm.

... the blond one. We'll look for him until we can't anymore so... Stay safe, we'll see you tomorrow.

[overruns]

[ there's no need to specify, he's quite sure they're not going out to have a friendly chat with asch. still, dimitri looks tired too before he pulls himself up onto his feet, grabbing for his weapons and bracing for another long night. ]

Please stay safe as well, you two. I'd like to meet you at the mess hall in the morning as soon as we're able.

[ all this nonsense aside, he does sound concerned. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ kara nods. ]

If you find Zenitsu, bring him, too. And if you find the other Asch - find out what he did to make Zenitsu run off like that.

[ they're gonna have WORDS ]
