[oh, she smiles a little bit when setsu says they enjoy her company.]

All of those things sound fun to me. What do you like most of all of them? ...Well, I know you like trying new food, but we could always get some and go see a movie or simulate something.

[propense]

A combination of the two would make for a very fun eventful day. [ and it isn't as if they're in any rush to go somewhere specifically. ]

Then how about... we grab a few things to snack on, and then see a movie. I've only ever seen one movie so I'd like to give it another try. [ for now, to the mime cafe !! ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[to the mime cafe! the vibes here are something.]

...Hmm.

[propense]

[ the vibes... ]

..What are they doing? [ watches a mime trap itself in an invisible box i guess. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

I think he's casting a spell? Get behind me, Setsu! I'll break it down!

[she's drawing her ax...]

[propense]

[ the way Setsu just trusts Ylfa immediately and moves behind her, warily looking at the mime because?! ]

A spell-? [ two more mimes show up and start shaping a... wall? between them and the rest of the mimes in Aboslute Sheer Panic because WHY DOES a child have AN AX. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[she goes to attack with her ax but fortunately she attacks the invisible wall itself, not the mimes, so she just keeps going and falls.]

[propense]

Ylfa! Are you alright?! [ AH well, dice maiden has forsaken me with a 13 as Setsu will try to catch hold of Ylfa and steady her.

the mimes however seem to be preparing for battle upon being threatened by this twelve-year-old. one is blowing into an invisible trumpet. and more mimes are coming in riding on invisible horses. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

Oof, I'm ok -

[gasp!]

Setsu! Mime riders! I'll hold them off as long as I can, so make a run for it! Don't worry about me!

[propense]

I won't leave you behind, Ylfa! [ the Mime riders are starting to swing their hands around in the air... invisible ropes?! ] Here, take my hand--

[ they'll reach for Ylfa, so long as they have any kind of contact and... with a static glitch, they'll teleport them both the max distance away and outside the cafe. they.. should hopefully be safe now. ] ...I did not think it would be a dangerous place to eat.

[honkinbigteeth]

[she'll take their hand.]

Setsu! Good job! Maybe we can just get popcorn at the theater!

[propense]

[ a paw... :pleading: Setsu will hold hers gently, smiling. ]

You distracting them helped too. [ a nod, they'll start to lead them to the theater. ] There are interesting sweets there too, so that's probably a better idea.

week 4; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[good morning. ylfa is out exploring the clouds, probably floating by in a bubble, when a pig runs by.

have a memory. when it's over she's still floating awkwardly in a bubble. but it pops and she lands.]

[propense]

[ this mem made me really sad. send help

well, Setsu will approach Ylfa, a bit of concern at both the memory and the sudden pop. they extend a hand to her, a quiet offer. ]

Are you alright, Ylfa?

[honkinbigteeth]

[she will take that hand with a heavy sigh. it's especially a bad ending, of waking up in a world where she's already done brutal and violent things she can't take back.]

I'm okay. I'm sorry that you had to see that.

[propense]

[ gingerly, they squeeze their held hands, some reassuring comfort. ]

You don't need to apologize. You have no control over what gets shown. [ their words are nonjudgmental, it doesn't change how they perceive her. they still treat her the same and that won't change. ]

...Our past experiences make us who we are today. There won't always be good things, but we learn and grow from it. And I can tell you've grown a lot, Ylfa.

[honkinbigteeth]

[awww, setsu. this is so sweet.]

I think I have, too. Even though all of that is a lot, I think I needed to be the person I am now.

[propense]

[ those words resonate deeply with them, because it's... how they think too. when they think of their own universe. holding onto her hand, gently they say ]

...Our situations are similar in that way. I've done a lot of things, have gone through so much. But those too made me the person I am. So I know exactly how you feel. ..I'm glad we are both the kind of person we are now.

[ what probably isn't sweet is this memory of setsu's though. as a note, the player's name is "Takashi" rather than Kaio. totally important. also, the video does cut out like... 5 days of discussions in the middle because it's like 83753 minutes of mafia werewolf of people pointing fingers, doubting and accusing who is bad aka "gnosia." voting people to cold sleep at the end of the day, waking up to someone being erased/gone. it's back and forth.

but otherwise! memory time! ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[she was not aware of this about setsu. it is pretty cool information to learn about setsu.]

...What's a gnosia?

[propense]

[ IS IT COOL... ]

Gnosia are... what we call people that got infected by Gnos. They receive a vision from them and the fabric of their brains undergoes an alternation that connects them to the Gnos. It changes them into the carriers of its will. All they care about is saving humanity in the Gnos' stead- and by doing that, it meant.. erasing humans, allowing those minds to join in with the Gnos.

[ and there was definitely a moment in that memory where the Gnosia side of Setsu showed, the black coating around the area of their right eye, eyes a bright glowing blood red. because being infected does affect your physical appearance too. ]

I'm not infected now. [ they don't have those urges they had in that memory. ] But... I have been on the enemy side during some of my loops.

[honkinbigteeth]

[it is cool, yes. monster rights.]

But in that memory, you told your friend you were infected, and you didn't kill them. So you can't have only cared about the Gnos.

WEEK 4, THURSDAY.

[propense]

[ well... a bit later, but before curfew, Setsu is looking for ylfa! which, when they find her, they'll come over and offer her a lil basket of treats. ]

I've got you something.

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's outside the warehouse, getting a bit of fresh air. she looks at setsu, and the treats, but she doesn't approach.]

Thanks. That's nice of you.

[propense]

[ it's alright, they know how the excursions go so... anything could be happening to each of them. they'll leave the basket of treats with her. ]

I've got enough for you to share with Haru and Gerard. [ gerard's very not good very bad day... ]... A lot must have happened but, I'll wait until later to ask, if that's alright?

[honkinbigteeth]

[oh...she nods.]

That's alright. You can ask later if you want. It was mostly pretty weird. Haru and Gerard will like the treats.
