weekend 0, saturday, hot spring

[midway]

[ Hi, Lucas. Claude is here... FULLY CLOTHED. He looks like he is looking for something?

Yet again. You may observe him like an animal in a zoo. ]

[faithkept]

[FULLY CLOTHED!! Lucas is also fully clothed. Like so fully clothed that only his hands and face and slight boob window are exposed. Hilarious.

Anyway he does observe Claude like an animal in the zoo for a second, but he'll pipe up soon enough because he seems like he's looking for something which surely means he could do with some help!]

Excuse me, monsieur—may I ask what you're looking for?

w0 mon!

[faithkept]

[HELLO AGAIN... Whenever Claude goes to investigate the door in the caves, he'll step into a church! One that's slightly different from the heavenly church of the axolotl that's out in their other neck of the woods. It seems like it's nighttime here; the light streaming through the many stained glass windows is cool rather than warm, giving the building a bit of an empty feeling despite its otherwise welcoming air.

Lucas is also here! He stands by the altar, too, looking over a few objects that are laid out on it. There's a closed bible, a full chalice, and an empty silken bag. He looks up when he's joined by someone else, smiling pleasantly.]

Hello, dear. Did you happen to find your sauna?

[Said with some amusement...]

[midway]

I wish.

[ Glancing at all this. It gives him the heeby jeebies. ]

Am I interrupting something?

week 1, monday, library

[midway]

[ THIS! IS! SO! COZY!

Claude's new favourite place. He is currently snuggled up on a comfy chair with books, but he'll wave when he sees Lucas. ]

Hey, Lucas.

[faithkept]

[OH TO LIVE THE LIFE THEY GET TO LIVE IN THIS COZYASS LIBRARY

Lucas is looking particularly cozy all bundled up in a thick white sweater after learning his lesson with snow earlier... He's on his way somewhere with a bigass armful of books, but he'll switch directions and move toward Claude instead.]

Hello! Have you found anything good to read?

w1 thurs explodes you

[faithkept]

[GET SOME SLEEP GOOD LUCK FIGHTING YOUR COLD HELPPPP not the pardi games cyoa sickness triple whammy...

Anyway Lucas will eventually catch wind of whatever the hell happened out there and of course he's going to track down all of their sad little injured guys!! He has a bag with him... just in case... HOPEFULLY CLAUDE IS RESTING IN HIS ROOM but wherever he is, Lucas approaches with the same kind of hesitant worry, looking him over quickly to check his immediately obvious state of being right now. Girl your deer piss or whatever the hell happened out there.]

Claude...?

[midway]

[ HE IS IN HIS ROOM BECAUSE HE'S NOT AN IDIOT ]

Hey Lucas.

w1 sat!

[faithkept]

[i am so tired. Lucas is also tired but he's still got so much shit to do this fine evening, so he's up and about and will probably bump into Claude sooner or later, wherever he is. Upon which, he just immediately says:]

You should be resting, dear.

[midway]

Hey, Lucas.

[ Just slumps against his side. It is very out of character. ]

I suppose so.

week 2, monday, tea party

[midway]

[ Why does Lucas seem like he fits in here. ]

You really seem like you fit in here.

[faithkept]

[NOT THE DOUBLE TEXT. Lucas does look like he would fit in here. He does love a good cup of tea.]

I do love a good cup of tea... [But he gazes at this table that conveniently only has two chairs and place settings laid out.] I'm not certain that I trust this one, though?

week 2, wednesday

[midway]

i'm not interested in dating you

[faithkept]

I'm wounded that you couldn't tell me in person.

w2 fri!

[faithkept]

[I'M STARTING A PC SPOON BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO!!!!! SOMEONE IS DEAD!!!!!

Actually Lucas comes over with a small bouquet of flowers in his arms and will gesture Claude to lean down.]

[midway]

[ Leans down. ]

w2 sat

[faithkept]

[YOU CAN'T IGNORE HIM FOREVER!!!!!!! ie at some point later in the night he's going to be trying to find Claude... Wheremst he.]

[midway]

[ WOW!!! He's probably at the beach, just watching the waves. ]

[midway]

[ salvation? ]

w3 weds

[faithkept]

[WE'RE BACK IN THE FUCKING THUNDERDOME THE DOORS CONTINUE TO BETRAY give me a memory......]

[midway]

[ BACK IN THE THUNDERDOME!! This is so awkward, but thankfully Claude doesn't get to dwell on it much before it's his turn to put on a show.

Are you ready for some politics?

—At first, all you wanted was to bring an end to the war as swiftly as possible. Your country didn't have the resources of the Empire, or the knightly tradition of the Kingdom. You can't bear the brunt of Edelgard's assault for long.

Now, six months later, you've allied with the Empire—the very nation that pulled you into this war and trespassed into your lands—drafted plans to invade Kingdom territory, and strike down the Central Church by force. The new direction takes your allies by surprise, but you speak as if you have no doubts about your decisions, even as the weight of the lives of the Kingdom soldiers you will soon slaughter already begin to bear down on your shoulders.

It's the quickest way to end the war, you still believe that. So what if you ally with the nation that spiralled the continent into war? You didn't agree with their methods, but you've also wanted to tear down the Central Church's power for years. Is it so wrong to seize an opportunity out of a bad situation.? ]

week 3, friday, lighthouse

[midway]

[ Perched up on the lighthouse... He will look to see how Lucas is doing. ]

How're you holding up?

[faithkept]

[He wants to be tall... Lucas will come up the stairs to join him so he doesn't have to shout like Rapunzel, at least.]

As well as can be expected. [THIS ELDERLY ABUSE.] ...How are you?

week 4, monday, armory

[midway]

[ He's trying to put a candy cane dagger back but it is... stuck to his hand... sticky

Waves his hand furiously. ]

[faithkept]

[HELP... STICKY. Lucas just watches this happen for a second after he walks into the room, but he'll move over a moment later.]

Do you need help, my dear?

week 4, wednesday, ballroom

[midway]

[ Much, much later. AFTER BALD. Claude is in the now empty ballroom snacking.

He's hungry. ]

Hey, Lucas.

[faithkept]

[oh thank god if it's much later he too is back to normal. HE'LL JOIN BECAUSE HE'S ALSO HUNGRY.]

I had so hoped people would be able to stifle their urge to cause mischief for one party...

[Despite the gently scolding tone, he doesn't seem actually upset, though.]

week 4, friday

[midway]

[ Hello. ]

Hi Lucas.

[faithkept]

[Hello! Lucas is probably hanging out in the lobby or tavern and trying not to move too much, but his vibes are still very mellow. He also still has the tiniest softest cutest baby bunny in the world on his lap. The bunny peers at Claude with its big ol' eyes. He is the gift.]

Hello, Claude. Are you holding up alright?

week 4, sunday

[midway]

[ He's on the beach.

Misery.

But also, concern. ]

Lucas, how're you feeling?

[faithkept]

[MISERY. HELP. Well, his vibes are probably a bit better to be around, at least. It's just a thick blanket of calm, with only little traces of tiredness and worry threaded through.]

I'm doing as well as can be expected, especially after seeing all of those notes... Are you holding up alright?

w5 sun!

[faithkept]

[IT'S LATER IN THE DAY he's no longer catatonic or hugely dissociated, just his normal amount of dissociated. What is it like to not be even slightly dissociated all the time, he just doesn't know.

He's sitting at the cafe, though! Just sort of sipping at a drink, looking out toward. Whatever the hell is out there. But he'll give a little nod of greeting when he spots Claude. We're back to larping normalcy hours now.]

I must wonder now if my other letter reached you before I did.

[midway]

[ Okay.

Forget about that. Looking at him closely... How does he look? ]

week 6, tuesday

[midway]

[ They're at the arts and crafts area! Fun. ]

What will you make as your gift?

[faithkept]

[FUN. He does love arts and crafts, even if he fucking sucks at them and everything he makes is ugly because he cannot control his own stupid strength.]

I was thinking of making and sending some paper flowers to Wis'adel as thanks for the ones that she gave me earlier... What about you?

week 6, friday, meadow

[midway]

[ Welcome to the meadow, Lucas! Claude is going for a walk... Relaxed. ]

Hey, Lucas.

[faithkept]

[MEADOW TIME... Lucas will meander over, not really in a rush.]

Hello, Claude. ...I must say I agree with Saber, in that being on this side to handle the deaths is a very different feeling.

w7 mon!

[faithkept]

[IT'S THE BEACH. Or like. It was the beach. Now it is just a long expanse of sand and Lucas is staring out at it, perplexed.]

I've never seen the ocean without its water before...

[midway]

[ He's feeling... anguish... ]

It's ruined.

w7 sat

[faithkept]

[GRABS YOU LIKE A GRAPE EVEN THOUGH IT'S SO LATE IN THE NIGHT AND WE'RE DISINTEGRATING TOMORROW BUT I WILL HAVE ONE LAST CLAUDE THREAD WHERE IS HE

Wherever he is, Lucas will approach with a bottle of wine.]

[midway]

A whole bottle? Wow.
