Comments

WEEK 0 day one

[greatdeduction]

[Hey, Rika. It's an early morning. Sholmes is up - there's someone he's talking to outside the door in whispered tones, before he's pulling back a tray of what looks to be coffee and some toast and eggs on a plate.]

[When he turns to sit on the floor, cross-legged, near his pillow and blankets, he offers the plate to Rika. This whole thing has happened the last couple of days - it seems like someone here is feeding Sholmes.]

Mmm. [He looks very bleary, his daemon in beagle form curled up in the blankets behind him.] Toast?

[syndromed]

[ while he's talking to his mystery benefactor, rika is diligently making the bed now that she's up. straightening the sheets and blanket.

she looks a little surprised at the offer! but quickly comes and sits down across from him on the floor. ]

You're okay sharing?

[greatdeduction]

[He's sort of pathetically nibbling on the crust of the toast. It's obvious he's not an early riser.]

Mm? Why wouldn't I? You're my roommate, yes?

[syndromed]

[ rika is the opposite! she's up and alert, bright and early every day, and always makes the bed and cleans up before going anywhere. ]

Yep! And food is better when you share it. But does the person feeding you know that they're feeding me, too?

[greatdeduction]

Hm?

[And a pause, before shaking his head.]

No. I think she would be happy to know she's helping others outside of myself. Perhaps.

WEEK 0 sunday

[syndromed]

[ after execution, rika is in their room. but... whatever she was up to, she is immediately not doing it anymore, when sholmes enters! she is just standing around kind of conspicuously.

then she hops up to sit on the bed. we are Normal in here.

act casual... ]

...

[ nailed it. ]

[greatdeduction]

[This is definitely acting casual! Sholmes walks in, Irene in hare form hopping after him.]

[He pauses.]

[He looks at her for a long time.]

[And then poses.]

A long day, wasn't it!

[syndromed]

[ why are you posing! she won't ask. it's fine. ]

Mii... It was. I don't even know what to do, now.

[greatdeduction]

[he's just like This]

[But he'll just come over to sit on the bed next to her.]

It's a difficult thing, isn't it? That trial...this execution...those spectres...I wonder what omen it serves as for what is to come. Nothing good, I would think.

WEEK 1 thursday

[syndromed]

[ sometime after having washed up and changed into clean clothes, rika is... i don't know. chilling somewhere. she's clean now. yay. ]

Is Kotetsu okay?

[greatdeduction]

[He's glad to see her! Though at the mention of Kotetsu, he's frowning slightly.]

He's quite banged up, from the looks of it, but he should survive. Though...are you alright, my dear girl?

[syndromed]

Mm-hmm. Everyone - especially Kotetsu - looked after me the whole time.

[greatdeduction]

That's what he said. I'm glad you were were protected, in that regard. No injuries?

WEEK 2 monday

[syndromed]

[ rika wasn't really looking for sholmes, but when she spots him wherever he's at, she wanders over! ]

Mii... I didn't get a chance to say it before, but you were really cool at the last trial.

[greatdeduction]

Ah! Yes, hello, my dear madam. Though, I must correct you. I was not cold at all! Dancing quite invigorates the muscles!

[(victorian voice) what is cool]

[syndromed]

[ she stares at him for a long moment. >:( ]

Miiii... I mean it was smart.

[greatdeduction]

...Ah. Well then, I must thank you for your kind words.

[He bows.]

WEEK 2 saturday

[syndromed]

[ rika is wandering the gardens, kind of just pacing around... until she spots sholmes and then she hops over to him. ]

You missed it.

[greatdeduction]

[He's...a little unsteady? He's actually just moving to sit down on the ground, ice pack to his head.]

[He looks over at Rika, a strained sort of smile.]

So I did. And it wasn't even because I overslept. How unfortunate.

[syndromed]

We managed to catch someone guilty, though.

[ so at least there shouldn't be any worry that his absence doomed us! ]

How are you feeling?

[greatdeduction]

Like my head is an egg about to hatch.

[And a laugh.]

I don't know if it would have been the same if I was awake or not.

WEEK 3 tuesday

[syndromed]

[ rika is sliiiiiding up right beside sholmes in the market. and looking at - whatever he is looking at. ]

I don't have any money.

[greatdeduction]

...

[He's pulling out a gold coin from his satchel?]

Buy whatever you'd like.

[syndromed]

Really?

[ rika is used to being spoiled by adults, so she will accept it without reservation! ]

Thank you. Nipah!

[greatdeduction]

Ni..pah? Nipah!

[HAS NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEAN it just sounds fun]

But yes, it is yours.
