week 0; saturday

[bonetiddies]

[During the day on Saturday, Harrow can be found wandering around with a notebook, looking at the contents of various rooms and making notes in the notebook. You can probably spot her being awkward in the elevator corridor.]

[sengokus]

[awkward..... mineo's at least curious enough to wander by]

Hey - uh, we haven't met yet but... are you taking notes on everybody? Do you know if anybody's said anything about the elevator?

week 0, friday

[sengokus]

[well that fucking sucked!! everything still sucks!

and mineo - seems to have lost most of his wide-eyed, hopeful naivete. there's something angry in the line of his shoulders as he proceeds for - hours? after the original message. like he's not even thinking about pausing. he combs through every room that he's in, checking doorways and corners looking for... what. a corpse?

even he's not sure.

but he can't sit still. but when he enters the room harrow's in, he at least seems to recognize however small:]

... sorry it ended up ringing a little too close to your last experience, Harrow-san.

[why do people have to keep dying.

but he'll move to start investigating this room too.]

[bonetiddies]

I can't say I'm surprised.

[Mineo. . . she was struck in their last conversation how sweet but naive he came across. But seeing this other side of him, angry and determined because someone died, makes her feel - well, there's something she respects in both the determination and the ability to try to put it aside to be kind.]

. . . Are you trying to find him?

week 0, post-execution

[sengokus]

[he has no idea what he's feeling after all that - he's gone for a little bit immediately after execution, but after that he's just... wandering. anywhere. like he's anxious and uncertain and just has energy that needs to be burned. so whenever his walking leads him to harrow, he pauses -

before just nodding his head in acknowledgement]

... hey, Harrow-san.

... are you doing o— [okay.....? well. not anyone really can be, he thinks.] ... how're you feeling?

[bonetiddies]

How I'm feeling?

[She's a little thrown by that question. She brushes hair out of her face.]

You're an odd one. All business when an investigation is at hand, but I come to you after and you talk of feelings.

week 1, thursday

[sengokus]

[sword hunt sword hunt sword hunt. takeru gets away free because mineo's joining harrow on a sword hunt. he'll at least move to support her a few steps before he just - ]

... Harrow-san, can I just carry you?

[he just feels like it'd be faster. still gross but. faster. he'll at least ask permission]

[bonetiddies]

I can walk.

[No, honestly, he really should just carry her. She's stumbling every step because both of her legs are broken and she has to brace herself on the wall every few seconds.

. . . After a moment, her lip trembling a little, she spits out - ]

Fine.

week 1; saturday

[bonetiddies]

[Apparently Mineo is just staring at the wall? That's fine. She walks away.

No, just kidding, she stops and waits for him to stop staring?]

. . . What are you doing?

[sengokus]

[he's not going to stop staring because what if this wall holds some secret

. . . but he just frowns.]

.... thinking about evidence.

Checks. What it means to have three people we've lost and three failures to get it right.

[and how people might only be more emboldened after this]

week 2; garden

[bonetiddies]

[Mineo can find Harrow in the garden, sitting on a bench with an envelope in her hands, looking at it like it's giving her a headache.]

[1/2]

[sengokus]

[well, he did want to find a place to hang out with less people - and he looks surprised when he notices harrow. one more person than he wanted to run into but]

Oh - hey, Harrow-san.

[he'll be polite even if he's trying to avoid people? no you fool that's how memshare happens]

week 2; friday

[bonetiddies]

[Well, she and Mineo can probably run into each other outside the music room.]

. . . Can you hear it as well?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he blinks and pauses.]

... no.

What is it today, Harrow-san?

week 2; sunday

[bonetiddies]

[Let's just say they're both like. Mutually around in the common areas on Sunday.]

[sengokus]

[I'M LATE but yea - he'll at least be looking around for her though and perk up a bit]

Ah! Harrow-san....

Can I borrow you for a second?

week 3, post-trial

[sengokus]

[that happened!! mineo's at least not in a crushing existential crisis today. sort of. okay maybe it's a baby one, but he's just in the kitchen getting some water.

when harrow walks in, he'll tilt his head]

... thanks for your work today, Harrow-san.

Want some water?

[bonetiddies]

[She just feels fairly exhausted. But. When she sees Mineo, she'll pause.]

I would. If you wouldn't mind sitting for a few minutes, perhaps we might talk.

week 4, monday

[sengokus]

[whenever harrow walks away from white and mollymauk

mineo is just going to wave her down]

That was weird, right. I'm allowed to say it's weird? I feel like I can't really point out it's weird because who knows, maybe they're really in love and that's cool and all, but isn't that weird?

[bonetiddies]

[She looks at him, opens her mouth, and then closes it because the only things she can think of to say to this are mean and she's not allowed. And then she covers her mouth with a hand for a few seconds before she speaks.]

It's Aphrodite's Arrow. Or something else similar - like what Lust used to get Shi Qingxuan and Aoi to stop fighting.

w4; wednesday

[bonetiddies]

[Right as Mineo walks into the mini-event, he's getting a text.]

I may have done something unfortunate.

[sengokus]

Oh no?????
How can I help

week 4, thursday

[sengokus]

1. Are you feeling better? Do you need water or anything
2. White is asking to stay with me for curfew if Molly hates me during trial I just want you to know what you've done to me, Harrow-san

[bonetiddies]

[Since you said it's morning.]

Thank you. I'm doing better. I'll let you know if I learn anything more about Santa.

I really am sorry about this. But I told him because I knew he would care about your feelings. Given that, perhaps you should try to be considerate of his as well, even if his are stupid? White can't, as he has no idea.

Curfew is unavoidable, though. Best to keep them separated and safe. I'll handle it.

w4; friday

[bonetiddies]

[Harrow will be looking around. . . let's say near the dog park.]

[sengokus]

[hell yea dog park! mineo will also be looking around and pause when he sees her]

Yo, Harrow-san. Do you want me to check your hands? You're way too smart to fall for a trap that you set yourself, but I feel like I gotta be fair?

week 4, post-trial

[sengokus]

[yeah he's gonna go check on her? hello??? he knocks on the door to her room and he's got two bottles of water in hand]

Harrow-san! It's me, Mineo. Can I stop by for a second?

[bonetiddies]

[Yeah, she'll let him in. She kind of looks like shit, but not as bad as she did in trial. She's not wearing her face paint so that's different even if I use non-facepaint icons all the time.]

You may.

week 5, wednesday

[sengokus]

[i don't even know how to be suave at harrow it's going to feel so wrong and painful no matter what i do. anyway i guess we can start in the library?? mineo is going to be picking up some recipe books and then he'll turn when he hears someone approaching before grinning when he sees that it's harrow

but it's - different? it's just different. like his usual megawatt earnest smile has been replaced by something that - while still sincere - is a bit more subdued and restrained]

Ohh, Harrow-san, hey. Sleep well after last night? We'd be lost around here without you, so you should get to be pampered from time to time.

You got a favorite food or snack? I can try to whip something up for you if you want.

[bonetiddies]

[What the fuck. She's. Honestly a little hungover from yesterday, so when Mineo is just grinning at her in such a heterosexual fashion she wants to go back to sleep.]

. . . Thank you? I ate some oatmeal already.

[Snacks will not help you here.]

week 5, friday

[sengokus]

[well all of that fucking happened.

anyway welcome to the floor the opium den is on, harrow! you might hear a few - slams? hm. walking toward it, you'll notice that mineo is, in fact slamming his shoulder against the door as if trying to get it to open.

it doesn't seem to be working]

Dammit!

[bonetiddies]

[Well. Harrow isn't exactly in a great mood herself, but she just makes a sour face at this display and reaches out to grab him by the arm.]

It's been six weeks now. They don't open that way.

w5; observation room

[bonetiddies]

[Well, she'll go looking for Mineo after trial, obviously ticked off.]

[sengokus]

[everyone left that trial so angry

but at least by the time mineo's made it to the observation room, he's partially chilled out? at least he's not immediately looking like he wants to fight somebody. he'll turn when he hears someone approaching - ]

Ah, Harrow-san...

Thanks for all your work today.

[his manners are still good, at least]

w6; friday

[bonetiddies]

[Well, going to the beach with her phantom stab wounds? When she sees Mineo, nodding at him.]

Hello. Find anything?

[sengokus]

[all these fucking phantom stab wounds - but it's a little bit after, feasibly after mineo has already gone to check out the rest of the station? though when he turns to face harrow, the little complicated knot of emotions in his stomach gets a little worse

before he offers her a little smile, tired]

.... um. No. But that'd be weird if I did....

[ . . . ]

Vira-san said she told you, so I can admit to you that it'd just be me looking at our own evidence...

week 6, sunday

[sengokus]

[well that happened! so much happened and it's the next day and there was no execution and mineo is still pretty awed by this? he's wandering around the station as if to just try to stretch his legs when he comes across harrow idk somewhere in the void

and his feelings turn a little surprised - but then grateful, if also. nervous. yeah he's nervous]

Oh - do you have a second...?

[bonetiddies]

[A lot is fucking happening on this garbage weekend, but yeah, Harrow is walking around the base, and when she sees him, she'll nod. Her emotions are just like. . . she sees a puppy who is trying his best, but earlier he peed on her favorite rug, so she's still a little annoyed.]

Of course.

w7; thursday

[bonetiddies]

White stole all the emojis I got and ran away!

Tell me what it means.

[sengokus]

Uhhh

Thumbs up so generally some idea that it's going okay?? Did you ask if they were okay?

Upset!! So bad news?
I think the cat is about the creature? So the creature is watching us and its angry
Hazard??? Toxic???? More bad news basically

Cat angry at wizard and unicorn (who is this)
Cat angry at Eye (Envy?) Crown (Pride?) beats me what the heart eyes are about
Are the clouds about Sloth-san and is that Gluttony?? Are they angry at someone

Greed-san?!

Explosion
Wizard ran away

Harrow who is wizard

week 7, post-"trial"

[sengokus]

[a little while later!]

Are you okay Harrow
Where are you
Sorry I left fast
Do you need anything water food?

[bonetiddies]

I'm okay.
It's a long story. I know you were shown choices too - in order to show it to me, it had to undo something I'd done.
I don't mind that it happened, it's just having a strong effect at the moment.

I'm more worried about Takeru.
