week 1 post trial

[greatdeduction]

[So, he's here, up on the brig. Sholmes stops to look him over, but nods as he approaches, Irene in hare form hopping behind him.]

...This is rather a sorrowful place to find one's self, I must say.

[perspire]

Not the worst, I'd say.

[ idi is still a giraffe but is curled up by bertolt, who is also curled up in a corner ]

[greatdeduction]

Perhaps. But it's sorrowful enough.

[He's going to sit cross-legged in front of him.]

Has anyone told you about what happens tomorrow? I understand our masked benefactors would try their best to avoid what happened last week, but I think their hands are tied...

[perspire]

No, I haven't heard anything about what might happen tomorrow. I hope it'll be different from last week, but we'll see.

[greatdeduction]

...

You're very calm for a man who may die tomorrow, Mr. Hoover.

[perspire]

Like I said, I'm a soldier who fights giant beings that eat people.

I'm used to any day being my last.

[greatdeduction]

Indeed, and yet you sobbed so much when you were found out, I was worried you'd dehydrate yourself.

[SHOLMES]

You're not upset?

[perspire]

I was worried about Idi. I didn't want anything to happen to her.

[ a beat ]

And I was worried about my friends back home.

[greatdeduction]

Your friends...?

I'm assuming your comrades who fight Titans with you?

week 4 day 2

[greatdeduction]

[And he's pulling him out of the castle so they can have some privacy to themselves.]

I did get your message, Mr. Hoover. I do thank you for it.

[perspire]

[ and he smiles at him, nodding and and bowing slightly ]

[greatdeduction]

Are they treating you well, over there?

[perspire]

[ he pauses, trying to think about what to sign, before pointing at his mouth and shaking his head ]

[greatdeduction]

[D:]

Oh, goodness. They're not bullying you, are they?

[perspire]

[ shakes his head again no, bringing his hands up to emphasize that ]

[greatdeduction]

Good.

[...]

I suppose you can't say what's going on...wherever you are.

[perspire]

[ very slowly shakes his head ]

week 7 day 5

[greatdeduction]

[Well, if it isn't a familiar 50 year-old. Sholmes stops where he is walking through the village, grinning.]

Mr. Hoover! How nice it is to see you once more.

[perspire]

[ do you want another rock i mean--

throws a reply here to tag back later!!! ]

Hello Sholmes, it's good to see you again.

I couldn't say it, but thank you for the dance as well.

[greatdeduction]

[please throw rocks]

Ah, not a problem. You were a wonderful dance partner, my dear fellow. I was more than happy to provide.

[perspire]

Even if I've never really danced before?

[greatdeduction]

Especially since you've never danced before! You are clumsy, but that's the charm of it!

[perspire]

That... means a lot, actually.

[greatdeduction]

Ahaha.

[He smiles.]

I like seeing things through another's eyes, sometimes. To bring someone a new experience. To teach them something. So to me, that's what matters. I'm glad, Mr. Hoover.

[perspire]

I did feel like I learned to be better when we danced.

I... ah, might need it later?
