w1 monday

[westedge]

[ it's monday morning and jonas has made a mistake. the mistake, actually, is that he wandered into the history museum and now has no idea how the hell he's supposed to get out. why is this place so big. why are there so many displays. where the hell is the exit.

these are all questions he ponders as he wanders, and it's also what causes him to nearly crash right into yuzuriha with a startled noise. ]

Oh, hey. [ but he tilts his head then after. ] Didn't think you were the museum type.

[kunoichi]

[ she just places her hands on his shoulders to stop him from running into her, and lets go once the danger of bonking heads together has passed.

with a clearly amused look, ]

What 'type' did you think I was?

[westedge]

[ thanks for that. ]

I don't know. The outdoorsy woodlands ninja type...? [ is this solely because of her stint on the rooftop? yeah, probably. ] Museums are so quiet.

W2 / MON

[kunoichi]

[ i rng'd the salon, help. yuzuriha's sitting across from jonas with her feet propped up, curlers in her hair. he'll sense a bit of boredom from her (because she has to sit here for so long while her hair sets), though it quickly turns into friendly amusement when she meets his eye. ]

Feeling adventurous today?

[westedge]

[ HELP that's fine, he would be here just making sure he knows the layout of the place enough anyway. which is to say jonas is here and he starts in surprise upon being addressed. there's a faint blip of curiosity, followed by vague amusement as he looks at her before he grins slightly. ]

Adventurous could be a word for it, but I'm not sure this is the right place. [ he's brave, but maybe not that brave. debatable. ] You look comfortable.

[ which is also a joke when he can sense the boredom. understandable. he would also be bored sitting for that specific purpose. ]

[kunoichi]

Why, scared of a little color?

[ she gestures to the seat beside her. ]

I think you'd look pretty cute with green nails.

[ she's so bored she's taking it out on him... but like, gently. ]

w3, monday

[westedge]

[ there's almost zero choice here, because jonas has a vr headset in his hands and he's debating by the time he runs into yuzuriha. ]

Hey, Yuzuriha. [ he seems pretty chill at least, as if he's busy trying not to focus on the events of the weekend for now. ] Up for an adventure?

[kunoichi]

[ hell yeah vr time!!!! handwaving that yuzuriha's gotten the whole tutorial, shebang, kit and caboodle as to what vr actually is, and has a matching headset in her hands as well. ]

Always. Where are we headed?

[ lead the way fearless jonas ]

W4 / MON

[kunoichi]

[ wherever they are... there will be a drive-by oinking.

jonas will see this memory... (warning for side boob image... other content warnings in post!) ]

[westedge]

[ hey omo please explain how the fuck you actually made me so depressed in like two paragraphs. anyway, the drive-by oinkening occurs and jonas finds himself in a barrier with yuzuriha for a moment as he witnesses and processes something that really probably wasn't meant to him.

...weirdly, of course, he doesn't think he can blame her. he's not sure of any of the history here, but he can understand certain emotions attached. relief that it's over. vengeance against someone who brought harm and ruined the lives of you and your loved ones. bittersweet melancholy over a victory that came a little too late.

so the memory fades, and jonas keeps his hands in his pockets as he looks at her briefly. ]

...were you planning to kill him, or was it an opportunity presented to you out of nowhere? [ the chief, he means. ]

W4 / WED

[kunoichi]

[ she is insanely drunk and texting people post-party!

but instead of stringing together words she's just sending them images from her camera album.

jonas will receive a selfie of them wearing silly vr headsets, a picture of his forest green nails, and random shots of him around the underground (some may have his teammates in it). they all look to be happy, or silly candids.

actually he can have some text too ]

jonas! jonas! jonas!

[westedge]

[ love that for her? and he also kind of loves all these photos and properly saves them. ]

yuzu yuzu yuzuuu?
these are probably the best thing you could've given me rn you know that
so like thanks
for real

W4 / FRI

[kunoichi]

[ MUCH LESS HAPPY text this time, no more partying it's business mode: ]

can you let me know what you've found?

[westedge]

hey
three tracks from those light cycles at the racetrack
2 kinda wobbly and one smooth, all of them around the track a few times before heading out of the building
likely two new drivers and an experienced one bc there's three outfits missing + two helmets missing
alex found two bikes parked, kinda angled and not in the row neatly with the others
also found a suit coat, tie and pants which is probably from at least one of the people who changed into a cycle outfit
about my size, didn't get a good chance to look at stuff so we'll check that tomorrow


[ a pause. ]

sorry to hear about zelda

w5 monday

[westedge]

[ as usual it's monday and exploration day! which is how jonas ends up in the cafeteria, except he's making a face almost immediately even while he nods at yuzuriha in greeting. ]

I've heard of bugs being protein, but this is kind of taking it a little far.

1/2

[kunoichi]

[ looking mildly traumatized seeing bugs on the menu ]

[kunoichi]

That's disgusting. No way in hell!

[ NONONONONO she'd literally rather subject herself to whatever $5 mystery food is in the store even, than any of these bug entrees. thankfully there's free canned food as well...? she picks up one of the containers—this sort of preserved food is news to her. ]

...The rest doesn't look so bad.

[ she picked up a can of diced tomatoes but to her that's like, perfectly fine fare. compared to BUGS. ]

W5 / THU

[kunoichi]

[ pre-curfew! ]

when i said you could be king of the lake, that's not quite what i meant.

are you okay?

[westedge]

i'm still alive for better or worse
that probably doesn't sound nice
but i think i can't really...do nice-sounding words at the moment
i'm back and everyone else is okay
how are you?

[ what a question. ]

W6 Monday

[westedge]

[ jonas is vibin with the reindeer today, curiously giving them a lil peek before turning back to grin as yuzuriha. ]

Did you know these guys know how to fly? [ don't just immediately start with that. ]

[kunoichi]

What? How?

[ she's looking this current reindeer all over like, where are its WINGS?, before she squints at jonas. ]

...You're not punking me, are you?

W6 / THU

[kunoichi]

[ they can see each other just outside the warehouses—yuzuriha will waste no time going over to jonas. ]

...Is Kazuki okay?

[ he's really got his hands full, huh...

and also, to make that quite literal, she can't seem to stop herself from reaching out to take his hand. ]

[westedge]

[ he seems to be staring off into space with a cigarette in his hand, but he turns when yuzuriha speaks up. and also, like, when she takes his hand?

not that he bothers to pull away. he's fine with this, apparently, albeit confused. people have all sorts of things that happen after their missions, after all. ]

He will be. Wounds were...pretty messy but we did the best we could. We'll see about a healer tomorrow or Saturday. [ depending on who's left. ] Are you okay?

W7 / "FRI"

[kunoichi]

[ wednesday 2!! yuzuriha looks simultaneously very relieved, and very happy to see him. THIS WEEK HAS BEEN INSANE... ]

Jonas! Aren't you a sight for sore eyes!

[ it really feels like we haven't spoken in ages... ]

Good work over there, by the way.

[westedge]

[ wednesday...2! immediately upon seeing her though, he does brighten up a little. ]

There you are. It's been way too long. [ it's been a week. ] It's been...wild! It's been kind of a wild week already and it's only Wednesday. I think. Are you guys okay over there?
