weekend 0, saturday

[ohthehumanities]

[I'll give you a proper starter in a second but I need to know if Monika is with her piano or if she abandoned it somewhere]

[rewriter]

[SKLJDSFLKJSD she probably moved it under an awning near IKEA or something so, sure. He can find her outside with her piano, probably eating frozen yogurt and yearning for a mcflurry.]

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP bless. In that case he will wander over, looking curious. Mehrak floats along behind him with a '_' face.]

Sorry to interrupt, but... is this what came with you? [A WHOLEASS PIANO? Amazing.]

week 0, friday

[ohthehumanities]

[I wasn't sure if you wanted a starter so you get one anyway

Even though this is a bad starter because Kaveh is just. Sitting in the park under the tree, his gaze distant and sad. Wow. She can approach him if she wants; he won't run or anything, but he won't call out to her.]

[rewriter]

[scoops this starter up in my arms and runs away with it]

... Do you want to be left alone right now?

[ohthehumanities]

[He blinks a little at her presence, as if shaken out of his thoughts. Looking up at her, he shakes his head.]

No, it's fine. [He'd love to say that he's doing fine, but he doesn't think anyone will buy it after the fuss he kicked up on Sunday. Forcing it would be worse than just trying to downplay it.] I can't promise I'll be good company, though.

week one, thursday.

[rewriter]

[WHERE'S KAVEH... Monika will look for him a little while before curfew comes for their butts.]

[ohthehumanities]

[He's out here!! Doing his best. He is, at least, mostly healed; he's got some lingering injuries for funsies, but he's up and about and an adult, so that's good.

When he spots her, though, he jerks back, eyes wide. Weird.]

[rewriter]

[hello????

she seems equally as startled by his reaction, hesitating to get any closer to him.]

... Kaveh?

week 2, monday

[ohthehumanities]

[Hello Monika! Kaveh is here at Puppy Play; rather, he's lingering outside, peering in. He's in his new outfit with his hair pinned up in a bun and his nails painted; he's waving them lazy back in forth in the universal "making sure your nails are dry so you don't mess them up" gesture. He greets her with a little wave, though he edges away if she gets too close, like he's trying to spare her from experiencing his Emotions.]

What do you think? [About the new place.]

[rewriter]

[extremely valid. she does not try to get any closer after the first time he edges away.]

... The name could use some work. [WHY PUPPY PLAY.] But I don't mind the cute animals! Like, at all.

[ohthehumanities]

And these ones aren't trying to attack us. [Their Jonasseum lions...]

week 2, Friday

[ohthehumanities]

[SWEET MONIKAAAAAA

Well they were in library club together and ICly Kaveh probably would have asked after her but I was BUSY AAAA I HATE WORK,,, anyway Kaveh will drag himself out of the library eventually, and... probably head to the park, though he's just kind of. Sitting and staring off into the distance, radiating sadness and guilt. THE VIBES ARE SO BAD EVERYTHING IS SO BAD!!!

He will, at least, straighten a little when he spots Monika, looking at her with concern.]

...Are you alright? [He means yesterday.]

[rewriter]

[everything has happened so much in the last 48 hours... monika's feeling a bit of grief, but there's still some lingering numbness underneath it all. still, she greets him with a tired smile.]

I'm okay. I wish I could say the same for everyone, though...

[ohthehumanities]

[That's such a mood. He doesn't have a smile for her, but he does try to pull back his negativity a little, if only to spare her. It doesn't work very well, but the effort is there.]

I know. [...] I'm worried about Matsui.

week 3, Friday

[ohthehumanities]

[WE ARE HERE... BACK TO BEING SAD AUGHHHHH

Monika can find Kaveh sitting in the cemetery under the tree monument, sketching in a notebook. Understandably, he looks very miserable, but he nods at her.]

[rewriter]

[mood, sir. mood!! she joins him under the monument, frowning.]

Are you drawing something for the dead?

week four, thursday.

[rewriter]

[I ABANDONED MY PIXI...........

a little while after the cyoa returns-- she is in the void, looking lowkey freaked out.]

... We might have to start being more conservative with our healing if it's going to be like this from now on.

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP it's okay dreamwidth abandoned us first

But god, if that ain't a mood.]

Why in the world were there two, this time...?

week five, thursday.

[rewriter]

[help............ WHERE IS KAVEH? monika is running off to go look for him a while before curfew. whenever she finds him--]

Didn't you go through this already?

[why do special missions hate setsu and kaveh specifically]

[ohthehumanities]

[SPECIAL MISSIONS REALLY SAID DIE. Kaveh is here, though; he's been healed enough to be, like, upright and conscious and moving around, though he's still kind of in pain. He gives her a tired half-smile.]

More than you know.

Week 6, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[Hilariously and ironically, this would probably be more awkward if Monika hadn't been the executioner yesterday.

It still hurts, of course. He'd been so, so ready to take Nahida's place. Getting that taken from him had been bad enough, and for it to be a completely unexpected twist... there's no easy way around it.

But Monika... at least Monika is Valerie's teammate. And he knows, from her memory, that she's dealt with... gruesome things, before. Complicated, awful situations. He's still not quite sure what to make of her memory, but that feels so distant now, compared to everything that happened over the weekend. And at the end of the day--if it couldn't be himself, then... it's easier to stomach that it was Monika. He doesn't hold anything against her.

Which means that, although it can't not be a little weird, he at least greets her with a small, tentative smile. He's in his new outfit with his makeup done, because sometimes you're trying to conceal don't feel. He's looking out at the lake!]

Does it snow a lot where you're from, Monika?

[rewriter]

[sorry for killing your god, my dude. this is... slightly awkward. but if kaveh is smiling at her, then she will offer him an equally a small and equally as tentative smile in return.]

Not really... It snows more towards the end and the beginning of the year, but that's usually about it. You come from the desert, though, right?

Week 7, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[This can be pre- or post-thing!! Either way, Kaveh greets her with a small wave--but before he can say anything, they get pig'd, and Monika gets to see this memory!]

[rewriter]

[SIR... YOUR MESSY BREAK-UP. monika stares into the void.]

Oh, my god. Not again.

[not the pigs!!! she glances at him in concern.]

... Are you okay, Kaveh?
