week 0, monday, bar

[midway]

[ He's lounging at the bar, looking a little tuckered out from a long day of BEACH FUN. I have to clarify this so Claude doesn't look like a day drinker.

Anyway, waves at Jing Yuan. ]

Hey there. Nice place, isn't it? [ Bougie. ] And probably no fear of drowning in drinks like the cafe.

[lightning]

[ HELP yea i would've absolutely pegged claude as a day drinker 😌

he gives a cordial wave back. ]

Greetings, Claude. [ he nods, tis nice here!!! ] A new surprise every day, it seems.

Oh? Can you not swim?

[ this is a joke. ]

[midway]

It's not so much the swimming as it is keeping my head on straight.

[ Hehe. ]

As nice as this place is, it could be more comfortable too. It's hard to lounge on a bar stool.

[ Jing Yuan didn't ask but starts complaining anyway. ]

[lightning]

Do you fear a dull mind moreso than a dull blade? Or dull meal, for that matter.

[ keeps adding to this ongoing litmus test of his understanding of claude.

and it's okay u can complain about whatever u want beautiful!!! 🥺 (deranged omo voice) ]

We could take our drinks out on the beach. I did see large parasols, if you have an aversion to the sun. The sand, unfortunately, is inescapable.

W0 WEDNESDAY / mansion

[lightning]

[ what if... we met... in one of the communal bathroom showers... by accident... 😳

(this is not a real starter) ]

[midway]

[ please describe jing yuan's abs in 4k detail ]

[lightning]

[ i showed you my abs please respond ]

week 5, tuesday, holiday market

[midway]

[ This is so cute. He forgot about this market, but it's here!! And he might as well purchase some trinkets for friends since everyone seems to be sending gifts back and forth.

Munches idly on some chocolate while he shops... ]

[lightning]

[ blows a kiss to week 5. jing yuan has lost his sense of propriety (among other things) so he is definitely not giving claude the personal space he usually would. ]

Enjoying yourself?

[ nosily looking over his shoulder to see what gifts he's purchased, or is in the process of picking out... he's tall so it's not like, he has to really do much to make this happen other than to man_stand. ]

[midway]

[ help ilu jing yuan

He startles slightly, hackles immediately raised. They don't exactly lower when he sees it's Jing Yuan and not somehow Uruha again, here to stab him.

His expression goes conflicted a moment before landing on wary. ]

I was.

[ Giving him a once over. ]

Something I can help you with, General?

W6 TUESDAY / void

[lightning]

[ wherever they are playing starchess and there is a reflective surface, he gives claude a curious smile as he shuffles pieces back to starting position.

no wins for claude yet, but jing yuan thinks he'll be able to succeed in getting a game to a draw, before they leave heaven. (they're probably both projecting their plans intermittently which makes these games funnier, faster, and more exciting. speed chess to beat the thoughtshare.) ]

So, will you explain to me your relationship to Yves...?

And also, I'd avoid the chocolates from Shadowheart in the lobby, if I were you.

[midway]

[ There's regular chess matches and an archery range... Death 2 really has everything.

The question catches him off guard, but not in a defensive way. ]

Don't worry, I've already put myself on a diet. [ lol ] And I didn't think you'd be interested in gossip, Jing Yuan.

[lightning]

[ Haha. ]

You can say I've recently grown an appetite for it.

[ And, chess can only teach me so much about you. ]

—Ah, perhaps I should clarify there is no ulterior motive, here.

week 7, monday, candy shop

[midway]

[ Wrinkling his nose at the melted pink blob. ]

I didn't think confections could be horrific too.

[lightning]

[ the emoshare is waht da hael ]

I didn't know you had a sweet tooth.

[ looking around to see if there's any candy untouched by pink goop. for claudekun... ]

Is it too soon to miss the other side?

[midway]

I don't.

[ He doesn't really care for sweets... ]

I do miss the private rooms. And private showers. And the archery range.

week 7, wednesday

[midway]

[ Wowee... What a busy day.

Anyway, Claude is chilling in the gazebo and he'll wave when he sees Jing Yuan. ]

How's it going, General?

[lightning]

[ he gives him a nod in return as he joins him in the gazebo, settling beside him. ]

All is well, here. You must have been quite busy showing off your wyvern.

[midway]

It was a little busy. People really enjoy animals around here.

[ he is happy about it though... and proud of his lizard ]

W7 THURSDAY / post-party

[lightning]

[ we can drop our other threads

he's just checking on claude to make sure he hasn't made himself sick from drinking. what is the status... ]

[midway]

[ He's fine! Just enjoying the evening air.

Waves. ]

Have a good time, Jing Yuan?

[lightning]

I did.

[ drapes on claude. get hugged, idiot. ]

I think you had a much busier time than I did, though?

[ mr. popular ]

W7 SATURDAY

[lightning]

[ he's just relaxing wherever, and smiles when he sees claude. ]

I hope you're feeling relieved by the outcome?

[ he'd seemed so stressed... ]

[midway]

Certainly. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

[ Thinks. ]

Well, I guess except for immense power and wealth.

[lightning]

I don't doubt you can acquire all that with your own cunning.

[ compliment! ]

I imagine you'll be quite busy upon your return, though I should hope you'll make time for the occasional game.
