week 0, monday

[discomfort]

[ hewwo

owner is sitting in the mess hall with a cup of tea in front of him. he's just staring at it intensely. the vibes are contemplative. ]

Why...

[uncoincidental]

[hewwo... there's a vibe of ? as she notices the intense stare.]

Is everything okay...?

[discomfort]

Oh, hello.

[ he waves. ]

Would you like to join me for some tea?

[uncoincidental]

Sure.

[she'll just head right on over and take a seat, then!]

You're Owner, right?

[discomfort]

I am. And you are Sheba-sama, correct?

[ are there tea kettles. i would assume so if they can just make their own food and stuff. he will push it slightly towards her. ]

I was thinking about how overly complicated these facilities are.

week 1, friday

[discomfort]

[ hi sheba

they can run into each other in the hall, i guess. owner is just wandering slowly while completely wrapped up in a big blanket. ]

I'm afraid it's starting to seem like this is going to be a weekly occurrence.

[uncoincidental]

Yes... it seems so.

[she makes a face at that, because ugh!! it would have been nice if this was just a normal pizza day friday!! instead it's pizza day dieday.]

...do you feel prepared for tomorrow?

[discomfort]

More prepared than I was last weekend, which should account for something.

[ last weekend they truly were so ??? ]

I doubt that this time we will get a helpful information dump at the beginning.

[uncoincidental]

That does seem unlikely, yes.

[she sighs.]

...that warning about a hostile in the food court makes it sound as though investigation might be a little more difficult this time than last.

[discomfort]

We should likely go there first, but we need to be careful with who we send if it's dangerous. Some of us are injured, and others aren't used to potentially fighting.

[ i hope we just send off someone injured though because no one was paying attention ]

week 2, saturday

[discomfort]

[ well, after a little while owner is going to come in for a visit.

he settles down. ]

Well, hello again.

[uncoincidental]

Hello...

[she is not immediately bristling with irritation at seeing him, mostly because she thinks he is not responsible for shouxue being in the next cell over.]

...did you know? When you were talking to me at the trial, before. It sort of seemed like you did.

[discomfort]

I did, yes. I did not want to accuse you without being more certain though.

[ it seemed too early, and he was concerned it might distract others from trying to solve the other case. ]

[uncoincidental]

...well, you would have been right to. But everyone knows that now.

[she frowns, drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around her legs.]

I just wish Shouxue wasn't also stuck in here.

[discomfort]

I am sure there are many who disagree with you.

[ nodd. ]

But I do have to ask, do you think you'd deserve punishment more than she does?

week 4, wednesday

[uncoincidental]

[after the auction and paintball - but still within the vr realm, during the gala - owner will come across a creature that had been up for auction, floating down one of the venue's halls and muttering to itself...]

The indignity of it all...!

[discomfort]

Ah, hello there.

[ is this a bad time ]

[uncoincidental]

[the djinni looks over at him]

...hello.

[it looks disgruntled]

[discomfort]

May I ask what's wrong?

[uncoincidental]

I'll tell you what's wrong! They sold me! ME! A noble Djinni, bristling with elemental power - and they sold me off like I was some housepet!

week 6, monday

[discomfort]

[ they can be at hot dan the rat king's kingdom. i guess.

owner turns to smile at sheba. ]

Was this yours?

[ don't blame her for this. ]

[uncoincidental]

—don't blame me for this!

[WHAT THE HELL]

[discomfort]

At the very least, this is far from the worst area this week.

[uncoincidental]

I know it's not, but don't blame me for this anyway.

[discomfort]

Well, it had to come from someone... perhaps Rosamund-sama?
