Week 2

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of manyfirst and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

(OOC: Welcome to Week 2 of Ukimiya! Feel free to comment to the weekly top levels and thread as you like, and redeem coins at the wishing pool.

You can contact the sage with your pendants here, and the teishu here.)

I see the pond's still giving useless stuff.

[Well, coconuts aren't that useless, Kizakura guesses]

Sure. How many did you get? Enough for everyone?

Doesn't he also cook for you? You could give him a break...

[Seriously, Hiyono!]

And I mean, how much is there to do around here? Cooking, cleaning, laundry, that's about it...

[All of which he can do, mind.]

It was generous of it to have given you something like this.

[ unfortunately she can't say the same. hopefully it doesn't stay that way? ]

Mmm. A bow and arrows would be kind of it. Or ... perhaps something of his.

[ if possible. she's not sure what could be in there but ... ]

Each has value.

[She sweeps her skirts up, taking a seat on a rock nearby.]

I always favor the cage, myself. But the bird was pretty, and more often than not it was the one chosen, when Robert and I gave those away.

Oh, hey...

[...good goddess, dude, couldn't you have at least worn one of the terrible robes for modesty's sake?! Then again, it's not like Elliot's never seen a topless guy before - hello, swimming lessons were a thing - so he's not too flustered.]

Er. Hey.

[Yep. Nailed it. Not awkward at all.]

kitchen!

[personal profile] tangas 2017-08-09 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, think of it this way. [ hi. he waves at her from the doorway. ] If you add too much of something, you can't really take it out. Salt. Pepper. Works the same way.

[personal profile] ofnobleheart 2017-08-09 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. I have no use for coconuts.

[ she can't even cook what did they expect her to do with these ]

I'm unsure of the count. [ she didn't bother to count the bunch ] But I do believe this will be enough for us all.
divertimento: (26)

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-09 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Operation Coconut is a success!

Once they've got everything moved, Elliot sighs to decompress a little and boredly pokes at one.]


So... what are these, exactly?

[We're gonna have an adventure today, folks.]
pseudoregelia: (lonely.)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Narumi-san is happiest when he's keeping busy taking care of someone else!

[So she's doing him a favor by lumping him with all her chores, you see!]

If you can't come up with something good, I'm afraid I have no choice but to keep it.
pseudoregelia: (my breath)

Sakura Tree

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... So you were able to get something to drink after all.

[Well then.]
pseudoregelia: (and yet)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You gave them away?

['What for,' seems implied, if not voiced.]

[ well, elliot didn't have to greet him twice, but ok, that's nice? here, miyamura will return the favor: ]

Yo.

[ unlike the other boy, he's completely at ease 'cause he, y'know, walked all the way here like this and also probably has too much chill. it's kind of refreshing. elliot should try it. ]

So how does this work?

[ BASICALLY how do you do laundry without a machine ]
divertimento: (6)

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-09 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if I ever see anything like that, I know who I'm gonna look for straight away.

[He smiles at her. He's got your back, Natalia, even if the pond doesn't.]
ofnobleheart: (☆ purify)

[personal profile] ofnobleheart 2017-08-09 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she tilts her head a little at the question. ]

My, you don't know? They're a kind of fruit called a Coconut. I'm surprised you do not have them where you are from.
divertimento: (60)

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-09 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
There's "taking care of" and then there's just tedium...

[Guess where Elliot lumps laundry.]

Well, what do you need? That's what I'm trying to ask.

[He cannot believe he is in a bargaining war for his own clothing. What has his life turned into.]
ofnobleheart: (pic#7643456)

[personal profile] ofnobleheart 2017-08-09 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ natalia smiles back. she's really glad to have your support elliot ]

Thank you. I'd like to extend the offer if possible. Is there anything else that you hope to get?
originallutece: but not for long i promise you (talk; PUZZLED)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-09 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It was an experiment.

[Oh, well, she's told Sen some of this already, and it's not precisely a secret . . .]

We wanted to see which pendant a girl would choose, over and over, and if there was any variations in each repeated timeline.

[He is chill! He just also happens to be too gay to function. He turns back to his clothes-washing, mostly because that also doubles as a way to demonstrate!]

Basically, you soak your clothes for a bit, then get 'em all soaped up and scrub like this.

[In this thread: old school laundry tutorials.]

Then you rinse 'em off and leave 'em to dry.
pseudoregelia: (away from me)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Have an ominous moment while she thinks this over.]
pseudoregelia: (I'm still alive)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you often talk to the Teishu-san or Sage-san?
pseudoregelia: (Just leave me your wake to)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Repeated timelines... Well, Rosalind did talk a bit about that before.]

So she preferred the bird flying freely.

[On one hand, Erebonia seems to have some normal fruits and veggies, on the other hand, they have things like "Starfruit" and also just straight-up use parts of insects in their cooking.

Zemuria is a weird place, y'all.]


Huh. Seems kind of hard to be a fruit. [But he accepts this!] How do you peel it? What's it taste like?
originallutece: (talk; i feel numb most of the time)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-09 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
She had a guardian. A mechanical flying bird that had watched over her and imprisoned her since she was ten.

The bird can symbolize freedom, yes, but that's but one meaning, and far from the only meaning.
pseudoregelia: (so I feel)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-09 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Yikes!!]

W-what other meanings are there?
divertimento: (30)

[personal profile] divertimento 2017-08-09 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
My violin, mostly. I had it just before I came here, and if the pond has our stuff, I figure it's gotta be in there.

And in general, just... anything with this seal on it. [He shows her the front of the ARCUS again, with the horned lion.] It's probably mine or Machias', if it's got that.

[A pause.]

And... I don't know how it'd have it, but if you see a staff with a green top, that might be mine, too. Don't think it'll work here either, though, if even the ARCUS doesn't.
