week 0, friday ... 1

[dendroculi]

[here they are at the barrier, in the subway tunnels! nahida is here already, eyeing it up. she has one hand on it, and is pressing forward as if to test how solid whatever is blocking them is.

it is solid enough.]

I see...

[captainry]

[ this is such a small child but not the weirdest thing today. with yiguo in his zipped up jacket, peering out with big eyes at things, wenzhou watches nahida for a moment before he frowns and

pats at his own height where she's pressing. ]

... seriously?

[dendroculi]

They don't want us to go any further than this...

[she sounds less than pleased about that. let them out!!]

wk 0; thursday

[captainry]

[ it's a new day, but it sure is a day where someone might face erasure, and wenzhou isn't the sort of person to optimistically go "oh, maybe it won't happen!" so he's patrolling around japanifornia at the moment.

seeing nahida, he raises his phone in a mock salute. ] Hey again, little miss.

[dendroculi]

[she smiles and waves back to him when he "salutes" her.]

Hello again, Officer.

[captainry]

[ little god? little miss? she is so small, she is little miss. ]

Out for a walk before the night starts?

week 1, sunday

[dendroculi]

[is luo wenzhou having a smoke break after all of that



can nahida have a cigarette too (no)]

[captainry]

[ HELP no he has to go and get more cigarettes. so he's just.

hanging out, yiguo in his lap and letting him squish his beans. presumably he has been fed and this is why he's allowing this. ]

Hey, Nahida. [ how u doin lil godling ]

[dendroculi]

[she ndos to him in greeting. aww, look at yiguo...]

Hello, Luo Wenzhou. [a beat] ...are you and Fei Du doing alright?

[they sure had... some reactions... at the execution]

week 2, monday

[dendroculi]

[they encounter each other at the pet shop! nahida tilts her head slightly to the side when she spots luo wenzhou with the things he's collecting.]

Are those for Yiguo?

[captainry]

[ wenzhou freezes, a blip of surprise and ope, before he carefully places the can of wet food into the stack of ones he was in the middle of grabbing. ]

Yeah, he needs to get back on an actual diet before he gains more weight, if it's possible, here in the UG. [ his emotions level back out to something amicable, welcoming, easygoing. ] In to check out the new friends here?

[dendroculi]

Hehe, yes. I thought it might be fun to see what they had.

[hmm.]

Do you think Yiguo might get along with them? Maybe you could bring him for a visit.

week 2, saturday

[dendroculi]

[difficult to find does not mean impossible, so nahida is going to go looking for luo wenzhou after all that! i will be honest i do not know where she would run into him. but. she's looking.]

Luo Wenzhou...? Are you there?

[captainry]

[ it'll take a while, but he is... at the eiflefihsd tower, actually. just leaning on his arms at the railing and looking out at things.

there's something that blips in his emotions that seems along the lines of contemplative when he hears her call. (what's it mean that god is seeking you out in trying times?) ]

Yeah. I'm here.

[dendroculi]

[god, at least, just seems worried more than anything else.]

Are you alright...?

wk 3; tuesday

[captainry]

[ wenzhou is vibing, though not in a way that's chill. assessing, more like, as he regards the penitentiary. his hands are in his jacket pockets, and he's got a lit cigarette in his mouth.

when he sees nahida, he huffs a small bit of smoke out and nods towards it. ]

Feels a little mocking. You check it out yet?

[dendroculi]

A little, but... not a lot.

[her team would probably lose their minds if they knew she was here.]

Have you?

wk 3; friday

[captainry]

[ wenzhou is sitting silently out in the void - probably outside, for the fresh air. not that it matters, considering he's got a lit cigarette held close to his mouth but not actually smoking it.

it's hours after the results are shared UG-wide. he's dissociating a little at the moment, it seems. until he notices that there's someone nearby - and seeing that it's nahida, he frowns, but still gestures with the cigarette hand in a sort of greeting. ]

... Alex and I found her. Shenhe. It's going to be rough tomorrow.

[dendroculi]

...

[she nods. yes, it's going to be very rough tomorrow - not just because it's two bodies, more ground to cover, and the same amount of time as they've struggled with to do it all in, but because of who the victims are.]

It is. We... are going to need to try very hard to stay focused tomorrow. [at least it's not emotionshare week.] ...thank you, for... for finding her.

week 4, monday

[dendroculi]

[wow can't believe a pig noise is immediately bumrushing them and yeeting them into a memshare]

[captainry]

[ wenzhou is going to have so much pork this week just out of spite against these FUCKING PIGS

his fight or flight instincts have been broken and set to fight for longer than he can remember, at this point, and he immediately goes tense at the atmosphere of the memory just out of his own muscle memory. especially considering how skeevy dottore is at first blush.

but nahida is here, now. he can hope that she made it out of there alright, if she can remember this. ]

... what a nutjob.

week 4, saturday

[dendroculi]

[she's at the playground in the starting area, sitting on one of the swings and looking at a photo on her phone. it looks like it's of haru sitting in a roller coaster car from the cyoa return, flopped over and passed out; nahida is in a corner of it like it's a selfie, and her eyes, leaf, green parts of her hair, and the accessories on her dress are glowing.

she's zoomed in on his injuries, frowning. one hand is holding her head; the other is holding her phone.

she mumbles - ]

I don't understand. What did I miss...?

[captainry]

[ wenzhou does a double take when he realizes nahida is there, pausing and blinking as he comes closer to see what she's doing. that haru is there, in the healing selfie, gives him a moment of pause.

what did i miss, she asks. and then he gets it. ]

Teacher Nahida.

wk 5; saturday

[captainry]

[ he will come and find nahida, mint green and black-speckled milkshake from dysturbia on hand. the other one is swirled with brown and chocolate. he maybe got the choco mint because it just.

reminded him of nahida. it's fine.

he'll come offer it to her, setting it down and sliding it across. ]

How're you holding up?

[dendroculi]

[she looks surprised when he offers her the shake, and she takes it, holding onto it but not taking it just yet.]

...everyone has been kinder to me than I deserve.
