week 7, monday, corgi car

[midway]

[ Looks at this place. ]

So this is what everyone was excited about.

[blink_gone]

[ clill time ]

Did people tell you about it? [ he does not know how to play with dogs but he tries to pet one, poorly. ] Too bad the cat cafe is empty, that one was just as good.

[midway]

We heard you all talking about it often.

[ Watches this. ]

I'm Claude, by the way. I feel like I should give you a proper introduction.

[blink_gone]

[ gives this corgi a gentle scritch, like for a cat. ]

Oh, yeah. I'm Till. Nice to meet you, uh... properly.

[ and not as a corpse or rude letter exchanges. ]

Guess this is the third time we've met, kinda.

[midway]

So it is. Which meeting is your favourite so far?

[ Crouches next to him to also give pets... Fond. ]

[blink_gone]

[ okay, he lets out a coarse little huff of laughter. ]

Tough choice? But I gotta go with this time.

[ the corgi rolls over, wiggling happily in the grass. till's thoughts are very complicated, like woah...... corgi belly... ]

It's not too weird being back, is it?

[midway]

It's a little weird.

[ It's kind of easy to talk to Till because he has zero context. ]

Kind of like... not really knowing you fit in a place.

[blink_gone]

[ because my app didn't trigger until after you died

he raise a brow as he pets the dog. ]

Why wouldn't you fit in? Aren't you all here for the same reason?

[midway]

[ you're so freaking rude ]

Right. But some of us are murderers.

week 7, wednesday

[midway]

[ Well... If Till is in the hot springs for whatever reason...

Maybe he will get hit with a big blast of anxiety and fear. If he looks he can see Claude sitting there, and he seems to be Going Through It. ]

[blink_gone]

[ all the neighborhood locations are normal at least. he'll show up and pause like ???? ]

...Uh. Claude?

[midway]

[ Wow... You're not just going to pretend this isn't happening. He's going to go tense, and Till can feel frustration now. ]

Till.

[ Big... leave me alone vibes... ]

[blink_gone]

[ YOU SET IT UP?

wow anyway till didn't do anything this time so his first reaction isn't 'oh no claudekun ):' it's 'what the heckie.' ]

What are you moping for?

[midway]

[ I SAID IT MIGHT BE SHORT

And now Claude is irritated. ]

You really can't read social cues, can you?

[blink_gone]

[ starts another one

gets irritated too even though he knows better. hands on his hips. ]

I just know better than to try and be alone out in a public space, man.

[ he locks himself in his room like a proper introvert ]

[midway]

The rooms aren't exactly private either.

[ HIS RICHIE... ]

[blink_gone]

Mine is.

[ hehe. after a second though, he'll just withdraw his room key and rattle it. ]

You can borrow it if you want, I don't care. Just don't lock me out later.

w7 sat

[blink_gone]

[ you are already asleep probably but whatever

he's setting up an amp at the tavern. ]

You satisfied with how things turned out?

[midway]

Not entirely.

[ looks ]

What are you doing?

[blink_gone]

Wanna play my guitar and this is my favorite place.

[ simple... ]

What more were you hoping for?

[midway]

[ i see ]

Wanted to keep a friend with me. That's all.

[blink_gone]

Ah. [ fidgets with the amp a little. ] Yeah... Even if everyone'll see each other again...

[ real damper that it won't be for a very long time, hopefully. ]

[midway]

I really killed the mood with one statement, huh?

[blink_gone]

Mood's been dead for hours, man.

[ everyone was so... depresso ]

What's wrong with being sad that we're not all gonna see each other again for a while anyway?

[midway]

[ . . . ]

You did your best to bring it back up though.
