[anyway, lili assumes she needs more sleep than the other two by default. she's not sure how swords work, but she just generally assumes they're cheaters when it comes to anything physical. still, she thought the least she could do would be to secure some place to rest so there's not bumping elbows with the other 38 passengers

which is how she leads them up to the second floor, bundles of blankets in her arms, and then gestures excitedly (with blanket arms) to

a bunch of bean bag chairs she's set up]

They're so.... squishy!

[and that's their camp for the night

o yea kara would've seen it but lili has a cut on her cheek that should be new to tsuru]

[unfriendliest]

[ . . .

kara skeptically pokes a bean bag with his toes. ]

[preowned]

[ dana was right. tsuru does, indeed, love this

and he's immediately going to jump onto the bags. ]

Ha ha ha... neat.

[ he can't say it's a surprise because they looked soft ]

[coastal]

Isn't it?

[she looks so proud of herself but also

she's going to deposit one of the blankets right on top of tsuru's head so it blinds him, because lili bullies tsuru so much

she

hands kara his,,]

[unfriendliest]

[ still not convinced by the bean bags but he'll take the blanket without complaint at least, ]

Are these meant to be slept on?

[preowned]

[ oh.... the light is gone

he does not move ]

Possibly not. But we do not know how long we'll be here for, so we might as well try to get the best sleep that we can so that we're rested.

[coastal]

[lili is going to take her own blanket and move to wrap it around her shoulders before just

plopping into one of the bean bag chairs]

There aren't any beds - there is that couch, but it's not big enough for all three of us.

[so she did the more fair thing and found substitutes]

[unfriendliest]

Someone else will probably want the couch.

[ whatever, not his problem now! after giving the bean bag one last dubious look for good measure, he settles down with the blanket. ]

We won't be here forever. It has to stop sometime.

[preowned]

If this ends up being like it was before, then I'd assume we'd be able to get more space.

[ it's not like, a hopeful idea, but mostly that there isn't a lot of room for murder on this bus ]

[coastal]

[very serious discussion on bean bag chairs hell yea]

I'd have a lot of complaints if it ends up anything like before, but more space admittedly wouldn't be one of them.

So what - we're stuck traveling for a few days before the next area opens? I haven't been able to get any luck on a way out...

[unfriendliest]

Neither have I. The board didn't tell me anything useful, either.

We should be prepared for it to be like before, just in case. [ ah, and speaking of... ] Tsuru. I have an extra knife, if you need it.

[preowned]

Oh.

[ he pops out from under the blanket. ]

Yes, please.

[ he will never say no to a blade. ]

[coastal]

[she glances around - ]

Should I cut up more blankets? It's probably not safe to just have bare knives...

[they're also swords so she imagines they're less prone to stupid accidents than she is, but she'll at least offer]

week 0, wednesday

[unfriendliest]

[ being isekaid for the second time in a row does have one advantage: more sparring dates with your girlfriend! i'm gonna assume that lili has training swords now or they're just improvising, but either way - fighting sword to sword is much different than sword to kitchen knife.

while kara's expression doesn't change, there's something in his eyes that betrays just how much he's looking forward to fighting lili again as he lifts his sword. they haven't been able to spar properly in weeks, after all. ]

Show me what you remember.

[coastal]

[IF ONLY SHE GOT TRAINING SWORDS - but you know what's more likely? stealing away some of the items from the bonfire area since she's already been ransacking it for the chickens. they're crude, not as clean as training swords, but she's working on it.

but! she absolutely is looking forward to the chance to beat kara up, and she'll move into a familiar stance after wrapping her hair up so it won't get in the way.]

I suppose it has been a while.

[since she super died a few weeks early in the village - but she'll approach all the same, and given that she's the type to spar until she's exhausted, she figures that an early attempt can start with darting forward with a direct slash, just to get back into the motions

tsuru come get a stick and join]

[preowned]

[ no tsuru is sitting down and watching. he's eating oreos? who gave him oreos.

but he's mostly interested since he never actually got to watch kara and lili do this before, and... admittedly the thought makes him a little sad, but he won't admit that. so instead, he just stuffs his face with oreos and shouts encouraging words such as, ]

Gooo Lili.

[unfriendliest]

[ if kara weren't, you know, himself, he might be a little offended that tsuru is cheering for lili instead of his gumi (pensive)

but kara is still kara, so he ignores that to sidestep the charge, easily coming up behind her to bring his (sheathed) sword into a downward slash across lili's back. ]

[coastal]

[please stop giving tsuru snacks, she hates this. that said her response to tsuru cheering her on is a simple - ]

Shut up!

[but.

tsuru is the one who trained her in the weeks that they spent during the graveyard? so it's probably a little familiar how when kara comes up behind her, lili does a spinny, bringing her improvised sword to parry his strike, even if the force makes her hands ache a little

lili learning how to fight like dategumi is horrible actually]

[preowned]

[ OH

THAT'S EXCITING. HE CLAPS. ]

That was very good, Lili An!

[ listen, why would he root for ookurikara when lili is the underdog here? it's more fun this way ]

[unfriendliest]

[ while the block was fully expected, ookurikara didn't think she'd do it like that. he pauses with their weapons locked together, a curious look in his eyes. ]

You're fighting like Tsuru.

[ is this how she does it without the ice, then? if he's honest, it probably suits her better than his own fighting style, so there won't be any complaints. instead he'll just - twist his sword around lili's in an effort to pull her off-balance, and come at her again with a jab. ]

[coastal]

Can both of you shut up!

[she can't believe! she's getting embarrassed over this!! can't you just be allowed to stab your boyfriend in peace!

unfortunately she is not as graceful as a crane, which means that it is easier to knock her off-balance, even if her recovery is faster than it would've been before she started all this training. she tries to step away, but the jab would definitely pierce her in the side -

not that it'll stop her from trying to get her own slash in return at ookurikara, because she might as well get even]

[preowned]

No.

[ that's automatic.

but also don't mind him as he sits up and dusts off any dirt from his clothes, still watching the two of them. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ well at least one of them goes quiet! it's because he has to focus on dodging, but kara isn't as quick on his feet as either lili or tsuru. the slash clips his side, so he swings his sword down at her shoulder in retaliation. ]

[coastal]

[yea, there's no real way for her to deal with that, unfortunately - she tries to bring up her own practice sword to meet his blade but can't keep her footing, landing her on the ground with an irritated growl

she glares, defiant - even though when she does assess the situation and find her words,]

... fine. I give.

[she misses her ice]

Tsurumaru, do you plan on just being an audience member?

[preowned]

[ haha.

so, remember how he stood up? that's because he's now just casually walking over until he can also, very casually, attempt to trip kara. it's fine. ]
