[ like. okay. a park is nice...ish? it's debatable considering they are still in a city and there isn't much room for them to go anywhere, but having something new is nice. this is what jonas thinks to himself as he sits on top of the slide and peers down at the ground where people are passing through.

he thinks he's in a pretty safe spot though, so it's half the reason he calls out to sqq. ]

So. What'd you think of yesterday? [ and people's instincts, because boy howdy. ]

[peakfan]

[ is he crying about the fact there is a singular tree in this concrete jungle? maybe so! he'll never tell! who knew he'd actually miss his forest dwellings when it's gone!!

that said, he absolutely does not jump at surprise voices above him and whips out his fan to hide the blanching. PLEASE. HIS HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS. ]

It seems that one was right to be concerned.

[ so, so dryly ]

[westedge]

[ he's valid. unfortunately while jonas got used to trees but he's also fine with a city so can't relate too bad. he does not seem bothered he just surprised him either. ]

Yeeeahh...I think we knew it was going to be bad, but that was almost impressive.

w0, sat...2!

[peakfan]

[ WELL THAT SURE WAS A THING. they slid under the fence 20 seconds to the wire. good job everyone!!!!!

jonas will get a gentle shoulder touch while wandering down the street. wao. ]

Somehow we worked it out, hm?

[westedge]

[ the touch to his shoulder kind of makes him jump just a little, but not enough to be too reactive. he turns his head, and for the time being he does not have a cigarette in his mouth. but he does seem to relax just a little once he notices who it is. ]

I'm not sure if I should be impressed or disappointed at this point. [ that was. so close. ] Doing okay?

[peakfan]

[ half the reason was just in case jonas was too lost in thought and the other might just be `touch starved` but it's fine ]

For one, the timing could be no more dramatic than the most epic of novels. [ he sighs in exhaustion ] This one could sleep for days.

w1, tues

[peakfan]

[ smacks something in here at the uuuuuuuuuuh throws dart steps of the cathedral. let's go full confessional yeah! sqq looks like he ate something sour while absently scrolling his phone and wowee he's gonna yeet it across the entire landscape again! ]

Is nothing meant to be private?

[ HE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS WHERE'S HIS NDA DISCLOSURES ]

[westedge]

[ help. that's fine, jonas would probably have wandered back here anyway, which is why he's watching the phone soar before slowly swiveling his head back to sqq. ]

Social media's usually not private, no. [ he's just talking shit, he has no idea what's going on with him right now. ] See something you didn't like, I'm guessing?

[peakfan]

[ like last time he just looks like he would rather stomp on the phone than waddle after it but there he goes, angrily stuffing it into his sleeve. goddamn this thing ]

A new rule has appeared.

w1, sunday

[westedge]

[ ugggggh. UGGGGGH. that's about jonas's feelings right now with...all of this, so when he comes across sqq he finds himself still frowning about the situation. ]

At least they didn't take a picture this time.

[peakfan]

[ sqq who definitely didn't sleep through the whole thing like I did, seems to be in a similar position. you can tell by the agitated flapping of his fan, which seems to be going for gold of most flaps per minute than actual air circulation at the moment. it's fine probably. ]

Indeed.

[ .... is that all he's gonna say? ]

[westedge]

[ glad to see everyone's doing great. ]

It's like. It's nice that there's the option to leave if we want to, but a lot of us don't ever plan to, and instead we get to find out there really is no limit to the kind of stuff that can happen.

w2, sunday

[westedge]

[ today in the void...jonas is working on a new cigarette and the vibes have plummeted from distraught to a nice, balmy "upset." ]

...we always knew that a team could easily be erased. But I don't think any of us expected it to be so fast. Just like that.

[peakfan]

[ Jonas, knowing hints of `The Truth` is allowed to sense a touch of his absolute blind panic of oh fuck o shit notto this shitto again. ]

It looks even with whatever rules this place has, there are always be surprises added.

[ the photo booth, whatever happened last week that I definitely didn't sleep through, and now, surprise sharks! wow fucking wee!! he snorts unhappily ]

Expect the unexpected indeed.

[westedge]

[ oh...buddy. it's okay, he's going to pause just slightly and focus on shifting his feelings to a little more calm and stable for that reason. ]

I'm getting really tired of having to expect the unexpected when this entire game has been nothing but unexpected. [ annoyed! unhappy! he is actually not Cool with that. but...he pauses. ] Noise are attracted to people. But it's still hard to think about the fact it happened at all.

w3, mon

[peakfan]

[ a new week, a new shenanigan....! sqq truly took one look at definitely not a bat city and fled to the refuge of vr created trees, help him. that said, look at this. it's truly an expansive bamboo house, tucked peacefully in a forest grove, quiet except for the faint rustling of leaves on the wind. perfect for incredibly c-drama esque nonsense and shizuns everywhere ]

Maybe I'll just stay here all week.

[westedge]

[ in this vr set-up, jonas takes a little while to wander through the trees before he comes across this bamboo house. it's a little impressive, actually, but it doesn't stop him from approaching and stopping at the base of said-house. ]

If you could manage that? I'd be pretty impressed, dude. [ that's a long time to sit with a headset, but he won't stop him. ] More your style then?

w3 thursday

[westedge]

you know
these things are a real pain in the ass when you're on a team who can't heal
figured you guys didn't need a huge crowd
are you settled?

Re: w3 thursday

[peakfan]

[ if there was any more of a 'oh yeah he's one of us' moment, look at how this asshole texts ]

plan better next time
all my blood is on the inside
all wounds closed
but there's no recovering my dignity

w3 saturday

[westedge]

dude.
i'm sorry this is happening
this is bullshit.

[peakfan]

given the team bs
i expected it to happen
but i certainly wasn't expecting my team to be first

w4, monday

[peakfan]

[ at this point in time, sqq looks like he's very aware he has a pig out for his blood. honestly, he's probably just looking around the corner, spots jonas and

wham bam

he's gonna cry tears of blood help him ]

[westedge]

[ me opening this: this is five pages
me reading this: lmao never mind i see why you gave this to me

ANYWAY. THIS IS A LOT. jonas was truly just about to ask sqq what was wrong and then there's a fucking pig. and then this? and this is a lot? so they're locked in a barrier and he's sort of just gaping for a moment like he's trying to figure out what, exactly, he's supposed to be saying. ]

...you know, I feel like it would be extremely confusing to know how the story's supposed to go and have to alter the script when all you want to do is actually root for the lead.

[ HELLO. ]

w7 "wednesday"

[westedge]

[ he knows how this works, so now he is ~opening his senses~ to see if he can be put into contact with sqq.

doko...? ]

[peakfan]

[ imagine if he was taking a bath. splish splash (no)

he's probably sprawled somewhere absently playing Moon Track like the weeb nerd he is. where the fuck did he get headphones from? who knows! ]
