week 0; after arrival

[bonetiddies]

[So at some point the girls will get settled into their room? Harrow has changed into an alarming amount of bones, and now is focused on trying to lug a sword that seems way too heavy for her to one of the beds? Okay.]

[femmefinale]

... Would you like help with that or shall I assume you've got it under control?

[ Primrose is just lightly placing a dagger (sheathed) on her bed, having glanced over to see this maneuver. ]

[bonetiddies]

I'm fine.

[Automatically, but she doesn't seem that fine. I mean, she can lift it, but it's awkward. Eventually, she lays the sword down on one side of the bed. Why.]

[chevaleros]

[ vira doesn't seem to have any weapons on her, except presumably a kitchen knife. instead, she just watches this display from where she's sitting. ]

...Are you planning on leaving that there? I'm sure there's space in the closet.

[bonetiddies]

I'd prefer to keep it with me.

[Though as soon as she sets the sword down, she has to stop to catch her breath; she looks oddly winded and a little ill.]

Oh. But there are three of us, and only two beds.

[femmefinale]

Perhaps you should sit down.

[ She's already stepping forward, in case she needs steadying. Though-- ]

Also, I don't mind sharing a bed. I believe I oughtn't kick.

[chevaleros]

[ Shouldn't she use a lighter weapon if this one affects her so...? There's probably more to it. Vira nods along. ]

Ah, yes—I am fine with sharing our accommodations as well. I can be a fitful sleeper, but on those nights I'm happy to sleep on the couch.

[bonetiddies]

I'm all right. The sword is cursed, but I'm afraid I'm attached to it.

[So. That's fun for everyone. Anyway, she's relieved to hear that - she hasn't felt safe sleeping alone for some time now. Even if these girls are strangers, their presence will help.]

I don't mind sharing, either. I'm accustomed to sharing with my - my sister. However, if neither of you mind, I've a preference for the bed in the loft.

[femmefinale]

I've no real preference, so that suits me fine. More importantly...

[ Uh. ]

Is this a particularly dangerous curse your sword holds?

[chevaleros]

[ Sharing a bed is something she'll need to get used to, and these two seem all right. But... curse??? Girl?? Vira shoots her a dubious look. ]

Will it harm either of us if we stay near?

Week 1, Thursday (post cyoa)

[femmefinale]

[ Wow. This sure happened and a lot happened and Primrose still isn't sure what happened, but nonetheless she's ushering her roommates back to their room. And immediately getting the water running in the tub. ]

It's likely best if you both enter at the same time. Objections?

[bonetiddies]

[Her sword is here. Once she finds it, she'll collapse right there and just cradle it in her arms. So she's just leaving a nice spot of blood and chunks on the ground.]

. . . Oh. Yes, that's fine.

[chevaleros]

[ Vira manages to sit upright on the porcelain somewhere, though when she sees Harrow she also just... lies down. This is nice. RIP their floor. ]

I've no complaints.

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose does not have siblings, but for just a moment, it really feels like she does.

Sigh. ]

Will you need help undressing?

[ SHE WILL STRIP YOU AND YOU WILL GET IN THAT TUB ]

[bonetiddies]

I'm fine.

[Is she fine. She's sort of trying to undo the clasps on her outside bones, but it's not easy to bend that way. She's just being a weird brittle mess on the floor, hunched and jerky.]

[chevaleros]

[ Prim suddenly left dealing with two girls and their gore. ]

I believe Harrowhark injured her leg. It may be broken.

[ So she could probably use the help, yeah. ]

[femmefinale]

... Would it be better if I didn't ask questions?

[ But she's just going to crouch down in front of Harrow to assist. Calmly and slowly, just in case she panics. ]

[bonetiddies]

[It's two broken legs, actually, but one is much worse than the other.

She's not panicking exactly, it's just that the gentleness unsettles her. She'll let Primrose help her when she actually approaches, though still holding her sword. It's just going in the bath, too. That's fine, right? She'll let herself be guided to the bath, silent but she has to be difficult and cruel and brittle right now because otherwise the gentleness is far too much to take.]

[chevaleros]

[ vira awkwardly and laboriously works off her clothes too, though she can't find the strength to pull off her entire dress. her collarbone pokes up at a strange angle, which she ignores. ]

It's... No. You can ask.

[ she's quiet, but mostly calm. ]

Though I don't know how much we understand of what happened.

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose is just going to gingerly get Harrow settled in the bath first (and her... sword) before she turns on her heel to assist Vira.

... These girls really need medical attention, but she also can't blame them for wanting the gore off first. ]

What I'm most curious about is what caused you both such grievous injuries.

w3; thursday

[bonetiddies]

[Hey, I'm really sorry to do this to you guys, but here's a lil slice of life with Harrow being the worst roommate ever.

Specifically, sometime during the panic of Thursday, she's unwinding by engaging in some light hobby activity. There is a full human ribcage, attached to a spine, in their bathtub, and Harrow is lightly going over it with a toothbrush and a mixture of something with a bleach smell in order to clean it. There's also a skull sitting on the bathroom counter?]

[femmefinale]

[ She just peeks into the bathroom and... pauses. Opens her mouth. Stops again.

Hm. ]

Shall I leave you to it?

[chevaleros]

[ ...

vira also peeks in, and with harrow this seems. normal?

mostly normal. ]

Seems she's brought a new friend.

[ harrow are you the one who stole all the bleach ]

[bonetiddies]

[She is the one who stole all the bleach, yeah.]

I'll be done soon enough. The cleaning process is a pain.

[femmefinale]

This is... vastly beyond my skills, but would you like help?
