week 1, wednesday

[serpentcoils]

[ i missed mini event.... but we can pretend yakumo was there and did the sports for the sake of this thread :stressed:

wherever nahida is resting, here comes yakumo!! he's got some snacks and drinks with him also.]

Miss Nahida, you did very well in those events! Please take this, to help regain your energy.

[ crackin open a cold one with god ]

[dendroculi]

[yakumo is so good!!!



nahida is holding a glock.]

Oh, thank you, Yakumo. [she smiles and pats the seat next to her! hello.] That... wasn't what I was expecting.

[serpentcoils]

[ why was i disappointed when i saw it was a clock.

sits with her!! ]

It certainly adds to the unexpecting nature of this place, I suppose. Seems like everyone had fun, at least.

[dendroculi]

I think I would have had more fun without the gorilla and falling into an underground tunnel...

[WHY IS THAT WHAT SHE HAS A PROBLEM WITH AND NOT THE SHADOW THAT WAS BULLYING HER. it's fine.]

[serpentcoils]

[ i mean TO BE FAIR.... that is probably more normal to her a;ldfsk ]

That is a fair point... Ah, well for now, rest is the best option.

[dendroculi]

Yes...

[she sighs]

...I wonder if all our future missions are going to be like that. It was pretty different from decorating our warehouses.

[serpentcoils]

Indeed. Hm...maybe they will get increasingly difficult as the weeks progress?

[ who is to say!! ]

At least we have each other to relay on.

[dendroculi]

Yes, at least we have that.

[she sips at the drink he brought.]

[serpentcoils]

[ maybe it is the red string linking them together or the knowledge of need to share secrets... or both. but he just segue into... ]

Are you used to having these many people to relay on, Miss Nahida?

[ DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS ]

[dendroculi]

[you know, that is a perfectly normal question.



but it still gets nahida to look down at her lap and go quiet.]

...I'm... getting used to it.

[serpentcoils]

[ oh no he made god sad..... he frowns ]

That was a difficult question to ask... I apologize...

[ he recognizes that response, because he's had the same before... ]

For what it is worth, I understand that feeling... getting used to relying on others or rather having others to rely on, it is difficult. Trust is such a precious thing...

[dendroculi]

...it is. I have many more people I can trust now than I did in the past.

[...]

Was it that way for you, too?

[serpentcoils]

That's very good to hear, I'm glad.

[ he smiles, happy to know she has people whom she can rely on now. MISS NAHIDA YOU'RE SO NICE YOU DESEVE ONLY GOOD THINGS.

ah. his turn... that's fair. ]

It was... yes. Growing up I really only had my grandparents, the people in our village were kind to me... but it wasn't til meeting Mr Eiden that I truly learned what having a "friend" was...

[ his cheeks go a little pink. ]

[dendroculi]

[...oh.

look at those cheeks! how cute. nahida smiles.]

Eiden must be very important to you, then.

[serpentcoils]

[ he is being perceived and he is unsure how to react. he is baby.

he nods. ] Erm… yes, very.

[ he looks nervous, like he’s considering something, and after a brief moment he speaks… ]

He is my most important person…. And I worry, everyday, about accidentally hurting him…

[dendroculi]

[ ? ]

Hurting him? But... why would you need to be worried about something like that?

[serpentcoils]

[ he’s gotten himself to this point… there’s no going back now! plus… ]

Ah… it’s because of my serpent lineage… I’m working really h-hard to learn how to control it, but sometimes… [ he looks down at his hands ] sometimes it’s too much… and I lose control…

[ he looks up at her, eyes pleading, their weekly task at the forefront of his mind suddenly. ]

Miss Nahida…. can you k-keep a secret…?

[dendroculi]

Oh...

[she reaches over to put what she hopes is a comforting hand on his arm.]

...yes, I can keep a secret for you.

tw: vore…. im sorry

[serpentcoils]

[ nahidaaaaaaaaa :sobs: it is comforting…. that paired with their red string connection, he visibly relaxes a bit. ;;

he nods and takes a deep breath, eyes back to being focused on his hands. ]

…T-there was an incident some time ago, at the mansion where I found myself possessed…. by a ghost and he came very close to biting Mr Eiden… i-it turned out he was merely trying to scare us!! And I was able to break through and stop him, however….

[ his expression twists, looking pained and horrified. ]

After it was all over I… I found myself lingering on that moment and started to wonder what exactly Mr Eiden tastes like… The serpent in me grew hungry and I soon found myself thinking… I want to devour him… Then he’ll be all mine… [ closes eyes and shudders ] It was horrifyingly selfish…

[dendroculi]

[...oh, dear.

well, she'll move her hand from his arm to actually take his hand and squeeze it gently, then; she's hoping that their connection this week will help ease that pained and horrified expression away from his face.]

...you're very strong, Yakumo. [...] Because... even with that desire, even with the pull of those memories... Eiden is still right here with us. You may have wanted it, but you never acted on it.

What's important isn't necessarily our feelings and on our desires. What's important is how we choose how to act on them... or not to act.
