weekend 0, sat

[ well

sometime during the day after the clowning, you can find vax with his back turned and at one of the puddles in the mansion, splashing water on his face and grumbling something unintelligible. ]

[aitou]

[Oh! It's this guy again. Is he bathing?? Not that that's a bad idea, but...]

I don't think that's very clean water...

[daggering]

[ it is not, in fact, clean water

but you know what that's fine. vax rubs his arm across his wet face from where he's crouched over, and then makes a 'tch' noise when he pulls his hand away. nothing. he is still... clown. ]

...Yeah, well. Bathed in worse. [ gross ] Stay away from that carnival if you're still looking around.

week 0 monday sighs in lost pcs

[daggering]

[ hello sweet yams...

we're hanging out in the mansion today! vax is... it looks like he's got a soup bowl with way too many of those zombie eyeballs in it. what is he doing.

... he plucks one up and aims... and then tosses it at an eyeless zombie, where it sticks in its forehead. nice. he spots yasusada while he's doing this and gives him a sup nod. ]

[aitou]

[THE MANSION IT IS!!! Don't ask me why Yasusada is in here. He just is. And he will watch Vax perform this feat of projectile acrobatics!! Wow.]

I can't tell if you missed or not...

[daggering]

I can't either.

[ the eyeball just sticks there. he glances at yams. ] You want to play? Ten points for the eye socket.

w1, thursday

[aitou]

[I'M ASSUMING THEY ARE BOTH IN THE MEDBAY AT SOME POINT anyway Yasusada's voice is definitely still pretty hoarse and he's got bandages on his throat and face now.]

Vax...?

[daggering]

...Yasusada.

[ there's obvious relief in vax's voice when he realizes that yasusada is conscious and not dead. seems like someone is a fussy bird. ] How're you feeling?

week 2, monday!

[daggering]

[ while yams is just standing outside the dojo...

he's going to get hugged! just out of nowhere, an arm's coming up around his shoulders, immediately friendly. we love touch week. ]

Feel like home, Yasusada? [ sup, bud!! ] Sort of place looks like it's right up your alley.

[aitou]

[Touch week!!! The shinsengumi are stupidly touchy anyway so he doesn't flinch or shy away at all--he just laughs, looking happy]

It is! We have a place like this at the citadel. It's not the same as having myself back, but I'm glad--it's been really hard to spar without a proper sword.

[wood is better than nothing!!]

w2, friday

[aitou]

[Haha!!!!!

Well. This isn't the first time Vax has seen him lose someone, is it? It's not even the second time, though they were in separate rooms for that. At this rate Vax is going to need a stamp card.

They're probably both still in the cemetery--Yasusada barely seems to hear the creepy sounds happening, instead sitting beneath a tree with his knees drawn up.

This place... sucks!]

[daggering]

[ i hope kashuu dies next so i can get the freebie!!! (no)

anyway. now that the cemetery business has happened, vax communicated it to clarte and saw yams settle down. once clarte's left, though, he lingers behind.

...and, after a moment, comes to join yasusada, sitting down at the base of the tree with him. this is probably the true nature of marines - reflectiveness, quiet. he's not always good at knowing what to say, but the solidarity is still there.

this fucking sucks, yea ]

w2, sunday

[aitou]

[PRE OR POST-EXECUTION it is up to you!!!

Yasusada disappeared pretty quickly after the trial--unsurprising, most likely. He popped back into Marine long enough to change his bloody clothes (thanks Buzen and Kashuu), but he didn't stick around long enough to talk.

He can be found around today, though--in the apartment, or elsewhere. He looks tired, like didn't get very much sleep.

He nods to Vax when he sees him, though he doesn't say anything right away.]

[daggering]

[ flipped a coin and coin said pre so here we are.

it's good to see yasusada around again. vax didn't ask after him, figured he'd be with the other two - checked in with kashuu last night - and let it be. the marine apartment felt bigger and quieter than ever, honestly, and even he didn't really stick around.

so. when he sees yasusada, vax waves him over. ]

C'mere. You hungry?

w3, saturday

[aitou]

[BIRB FRIEND....... if yams comes looking for him will he be able to find him, or is he too stealth-hidden?? If he needs space that's fine too--in that case, yams will fetch some tea from the grocery store and leave it outside of Vax's bedroom door, along with some flowers picked from the garden.]

[daggering]

[ that depends on where he is sneaking around to find him!!

perhaps, if yams were to find his way up to the roof, he might see a familiar bird on the railing. ]

w5, monday

[aitou]

[HEWWO FELLOW MARINE how are you today!! It's probably early in the day at this point--Yasusada jogs up to Vax, whenever he spots him.]

Do you want to go see the new places?

[daggering]

[ hewwo yasu!!!! i'm like where are all our threads but then i remembered that we're in the same apartment.

anyway vax seems okay with this! he's rocking a pair of big inky black wings, feathered like a raven's, and there are feathers mixed into his dark hair and at his temples. ]

Let's. Where to?

week 6, friday. did you know all of our pcs have been group pcs im cryin

[daggering]

Where are you.

[aitou]

[HELP OUR MARINES!!!! WE MADE IT SO FAR]

metallic
but im coming back for a little while

[waves hand and mumbles about letting aki have convenient pc time

Anyway he will make his way back to marine!!! He looks--well, probably the same way most people look today. Sad, and hurt, and tired of losing people he cares about, week after week.]

w6, sunday

[daggering]

[ well that was a lot, huh!!! vax is... actually in the swoom after that mess of an execution, sitting crosslegged on the floor with a whetstone in one hand. he's sharpening one of his glass daggers - the practiced motion of sharpening is familiar, and, well. he's expecting to see a familiar face or two.

so, when yasusada shows, he dips his head a little in greeting, brows knitting together. ]

Hey, Yasu. How're you holding up?

[aitou]

[IT SURE WAS.

Though, strangely enough, Yasusada looks more settled now than he did yesterday. Not happy--he's not sadistic, or even that vengeful--but steadier, now that his duty has been carried out.

He nods to Vax as he enters, moving to collect the materials he needs for katana maintenance.]

I'm okay. ...A little better, now.

[There's something to be said for the chance to take action in a powerless situation, after all.]

week 7, sat

[daggering]

[ yams can find vaxildan... on the balcony at their apartment!
he's just sitting on the railing, holding something small in his hands, a drink at his side, but otherwise just seems to be pensive and quiet, reflective, and watching the ocean.

hey. ]

[aitou]

[Marinefam!!!

Yasusada is, of course, here to see them, potentially one last time... he comes out to join Vax, watching the ocean alongside him.]

Do you think we did it?

WHAT'S THIS...?

[daggering]

On Sunday morning, Yasusada will find something unfamiliar tucked among his things....



Especially if he's with Kashuu.
