week four | mingle

[showhost]

Welcome to your fourth and final week, teens!

There aren’t many changes around the house today: it seems everyone is dialed in on what needs to be done and the upcoming week. Everything that was on the fritz last week is now back to normal, aside from the Dress Up Your Blorbo curse. You can still do that at will.

Anyway, it's fine that all seems quiet.

There’s plenty going on anyway this week.

Dates | Embrace Space | Property Damage, etc | CR Event | A Thing
Truth Booth Voting | Match Ceremony Submissions

... Have you had a good time, Sanji?

[ Important questions. ]

[hgeegh]

Yeah, I have. Have you?

[More important question.]

[singurarity]

Yeah. [ Immediately. ]

[hgeegh]

. . . That's good. [There's quiet relief in his tone.] Whatever happens, let's make the most of today and tomorrow, Ritsuka.

[singurarity]

I plan on it. We need to go out with a bang, don't we?

[ No matter what. ]

[hgeegh]

How about a feast, then? There's still a lot of ingredients in the house. Any requests?

[singurarity]

Something with lobster?

[ That sounds fancy. ]

[hgeegh]

You've got it!

[The recipes swirl in his mind as he turns his attention back to the screen, whereupon his mien softens at Anna's kind offer to Mark.]

That's Yanami-san for you.

[singurarity]

She told me that, too.

... It's amazing, how much you miss normalcy when your life is pretty crazy from day to day.

[ And she appreciates that, deeply. ]

[hgeegh]

[Crazy is Sanji's normal, because he himself is a little off his rocker, so he can't quite relate. However:]

It got pretty crazy around here from time to time . . . but it's definitely calmer than some other places I've been to. Not bad for a break, I'd say.

[singurarity]

Yeah, I can't even really compare it.

[ Haaaa. ]

It's more of a break than I expected, so I'll take it.

[hgeegh]

[He nods. Hopefully, she'll have many more of those in the future.]

You're almost there, right?

[singurarity]

One more and then whatever comes next.

[hgeegh]

You'll definitely get there. And once you do . . . all that time will be yours.

[singurarity]

... Yeah.

[ A lot quieter. ]

I just have to keep going.

[hgeegh]

[She just has to keep going . . . because what else can she do? She's already so many worlds deep, fighting for hers.

Sanji watches her with a wan smile. Empty platitudes will only hurt. After this, he'll make something light for her to drink.]

[singurarity]

[ deeply appreciated, Sanji. ]
