[well, a little after npc reveal, she's hanging around the vicinity of mcdonalds.]

Hi, Matsui. [we're first names here.] What's on your mind?

[sanguinary]

[Sweet McDs, here to soothe them with the ever-present smell of nuggies.]

Hello, Red. [Red #1. No one in his life has ever called him Gou, so this is fine.] Mostly, I am considering the possibility of mass murder. And you?

week 0; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[we're in selfie world this morning. does ylfa understand what a selfie is? no. but we're here. her ears are sort of perked up thinking.]

...I don't get it.

[this is the most feral energy icon i love it so much

Matsui the wholeass sword is also a wholeass idol with some experience in the modern world, so hilariously, he isn't too far off in his guess.]

I believe that it is a photography studio of sorts. They're quite popular in some places... You rent a room and costumes or props, and then take pictures within a staged setting.

[WELL that happened. Matsui's no stranger to death and doesn't become overly emotionally attached quickly, so he's viewing this entire thing as like "well, sad but expected", and not seeming particularly impacted.

He'll lift a hand in greeting whenever he comes across Ylfa, though!]

Ah, good. You are well?

[honkinbigteeth]

[that's fair, that's fair. she's frustrated and on edge, but there's a sense that it's less the edge of a girl who's scared and more of someone who is braced for more conflict.]

Nothing happened where I was. Though if you want, you should check out the street. There's a lot of blood there, you might like it.

[unfortunately she is being sincere.]

[HELLO SMALL FRIEND... Matsui's gone for a while because he has to tend to Buzen who fuckin spaced out onto another planet, but by the time their paths cross, he's back to his usual levels of focus and general melancholy. What a wild ride of a day.]

--You are holding up well?

[He kind of assumes that she is, but. It's good to check.]

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's wandering back to the warehouse district munching on a tray of meatballs so yeah i'd say she's doing okay.]

A little antsy after being cooped up that long. How about you?

week 1; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[since you said he'll be hanging around the cathedral, that's where she'll be too. although she is slightly blood splattered from the colosseum this detail was in other pcs too im not just trying to make matsui horny.]

...This place is huge.

[sanguinary]

[HELP NOT THE BLOOD. Regret to inform you that while Matsui isn't going to be horny about the blood (fortunate) he's still going to be a freak about it in general (unfortunate).

Meaning in this case that he just kind of ignores what she says to walk over from the pew he'd been perched on and touch one of the bloody spots on her clothing. OR FACE I GUESS. A LITTLE GENTLE BLOOD TOUCH...]

week 1; thursday

[honkinbigteeth]

[[well...after the cyoa return she'll come looking for him carrying a small little bag. is he in the cathedral?]

...Matsui?

[sanguinary]

[He is in the cathedral! Up near the front hanging out on a pew by the altar. When he hears her voice, he'll look over in the direction it seems to be coming from.]

--Ylfa? Hello.

[Outside of the fact that his throat sounds wild as hell right now, he seems to be in a better state.]

w1 sat

[sanguinary]

[Matsui's not seeking anyone out after trial because he's too busy throwing himself into PRAYER!!!!!

Literally he's just seated in the very frontmost pew, face turned toward the general direction of the altar. His lips are moving, but whatever he's saying is silent. Doesn't seem like he notices the sound of anyone approaching just yet.]

[honkinbigteeth]

[there's a nice catholic sword. she creeps in slowly to the cathedral, cloak up.]

...Matsui, it's me.

[he can't see, so she doesn't want to creep up on him.]

w1 sun

[sanguinary]

[Matsui's also taking a wholeass nap after this ordeal so it'll be later in the day that he goes to track down sweet Ylfa with his blurryass eyes. Wherefore art thou...]

[honkinbigteeth]

[mood. she won't be far from the warehouses but she may take a detour for the park.]

...Matsui.

[IT'S MALL TIME... Matsui's still kind of poking around the place, having spent the majority of the previous day on the floor of the spooky abandoned serial killer house, soaking in the rancid vibes.

At the moment, he's standing outside of Puppy Play, hands folded together in a somewhat nervous-looking gesture and peeking through the window. Does Ylfa wish to see what his sword eyes see........ Or maybe she's just in there with the puppies already, who knows.]

[honkinbigteeth]

[she is outside, yes. she actually looks like someone finally made her clean herself up; her cloak and dress have been laundered, though her dress turned a little pink in the wash. and her hair is clean instead of the tangled braids she hadn't brushed the entire time she was here.]

Matsui! Are you looking at the puppies?

week 2; thursday

[honkinbigteeth]

[pre curfew she's hanging around. she's got a new dress and has actually cleaned herself up a bit and brushed her hair. hooray.]

Matsui, I need to ask you a favor.

[sanguinary]

[YLFA YOUR CUTE DRESS. Matsui also finally has clothing that he didn't steal from Buzen. Thanks, 50s Sears, you're doing a lot of heavy lifting this week.

The statement has his brow furrowing just a little, somewhat concerned because it's THURSDAY.]

What is it?

week 2; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

you probably arent looking at this i wouldnt be
but i dont want to disrespect your feelings and come look for you if you need to be alone
i get the feeling were similar and sometimes when i get too angry its scary to let other people be around me
im sure rang is trying to take care of you as best as he can at least

this is so unfair
even if you dont see this until later
im so sorry this happened
i care about you ok? so youve got me in your corner and dont forget it
but i know it doesnt really help as much as i wish it could...

week 2; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's going to come and find him if she can. the cathedral would be where she checks first, at least.]

Matsui, are you in here?

slaps a general cw for suicidal ideation and self harm up here

[sanguinary]

[He's here! Or rather, it doesn't take long to find him, even if he can't be seen from behind because he's kind of curled up on a pew in front of the altar rather than actually sitting in one. That's because the vibes are somehow even more rancid than they were in trial. The pain and weight feel fresh, unlike the depth of misery that had ebbed into something he could only just barely function through just hours ago. It's a claustrophobic, crushing, agonizing sort of despair; the kind that sits at the bottom of the sea, or pulls through the center of a dying neutron star.

There's also an absolutely insane amount of the desire to be gone, and a fierce sort of longing that coalesce into Matsui just feeling very, very suicidal.]

week 7; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[she is hanging around outside her warehouse, which is apparently the bra store.]

...Matsui, I'm so happy to hear from you again.

[sanguinary]

[Hm. Bra store time. Matsui materializes for a moment in a little flicker of blurry maid, and he reaches out to make a gesture like he's ruffling her hair even though he can't.]

Mm. It is good to speak with you directly again. I know the letters were better than nothing, but I think they still made some things difficult...

w7; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[after birthday party, she is just going to leave the party for a little while and sit by herself outside in the park.]

[sanguinary]

[Matsui will make his way over there! Just going to sit down next to her. The vibe is melancholic, but there's a fondness as he reaches out to gently pat her head.]

Pets you, pets you.
