week 0, saturday??

[unsweeten]

[ it's ikea!! and simon is with money in the kids' furniture section, making an active attempt to seem both pitiful and charmingly quirky so long as he's in a public space and stuck having to deal with this team-picking bullshit.

there is, amazingly, a miniature circus tent, and he's just letting money hang out in there and mess around with some colorful blocks while he takes cute pictures with his phone. ]

[dendroculi]

[oh... cute.

anyway, nahida observes the both of them for a moment before heading over.]

Hello there.

[unsweeten]

[ he seems to startle slightly at someone coming up behind him, but once he turns around and sees the person the voice belongs to, he relaxes. not huge or immediately threatening, for a change! ]

O-oh, hi!

[ he manages to offer a smile, even if it's a somewhat weak one. ]

Um, w-were you wanting to look at this? We can get out of the way, I was just letting him play around for a while. Maybe help him feel like he's back in his natural habitat.

week 1, thursday

[unsweeten]

[ money is chilling back at the warehouse today, and simon has finally managed to get back to the dinosaur exhibit.

he's reading the info plaque next to a display of a protoceratops fighting a velociraptor, but he'll look over and wave whenever nahida somehow manages to cross into his line of vision. ]

Hey. How've you been?

[dendroculi]

[nahida is in the museum bright and early the next morning, because frankly? she wants to enjoy the exhibits here before someone inevitably dies here and rUINS THE EXPERIENCE.

anyway, she waves.]

I've been well. Yesterday was a bit much, but... I like looking at the things in here. There's so much to learn about.

[unsweeten]

[ lmfao WELL I SEE NOW WHY YOU SPECIFIED EARLY MORNING ]

It was way too much... I guess it's a good thing so many people have healing powers.

[ though miraculously he didn't really injure himself on his rocket powered tandem bike????? rip to the rest of that group though ]

Yeah, it's pretty neat! A little weird to have dinosaurs and art and stuff all in the same museum, though.

week 2, thursday

[dendroculi]

[sCREAMS

anyway, whenever simon is able to take visitors, nahida will come looking for him! she looks and feels concerned, because it is very difficult not to be concerned when you find a gigantic rainbow egg in a sears, crack it open, and a bunch of injured people emerge from it.]

Simon...?

[unsweeten]

[ :)

he's still pretty woozy, but he's had a few heals and cleaned up, so he is no longer covered in either egg or blood. his left eye is very much gone, though, with a fresh scar cutting across it. ]

Oh... hey. You were the first one there, right?

[dendroculi]

[she nods.]

Yes... umm, I wasn't expetcing you all to come out of an egg.

[she has so many questions about that.]

...it looks like the others were able to help you... I'm glad.

week 3, tuesday

[unsweeten]

[ simon's just out on the street somewhere in botham city, taking in how deeply strange the mishmash of building styles here is.

nahida will get a little wave and a half smile when he sees her. ]

Hey...

[ he feels like he should probably ask how she's doing after the nightmare that was the weekend's execution, but he also really doesn't want to talk about anything that happened last week at all, so he's not going to start a whole conversation around it. ]

...This is kind of a weird place, isn't it?

[dendroculi]

[she returns that little wave and a half smile in kind when he greets her.]

Hello, Simon.

[this city is definitely odd - nahida had walked around to get used to it the day before, but she still isn't quite used to the way the architecture from one building to the next can just change so quickly.]

It is designed very eclectically. It's as if their city planning committee didn't have any sort of cohesive ideas at all...

week 3, friday

[unsweeten]

[ hahaha well, after that last talk... oof. rip genshin world, maybe??? ]

Hey...

[dendroculi]

[rip indeed...

she looks up at simon whens he comes across him.]

Hello, Simon...

week 3, saturday

[dendroculi]

[after the hot mess (ba dum tshhh) that was that trial, nahida goes out to the park to try to clear her thoughts... where she spots simon.

after a moment's hesitation, she heads over to him.]

How are you feeling?

[unsweeten]

[

he looks up from where he's sitting under a tree with his knees pulled up to his chest. ]

...Pretty bad.

week 4, monday

[dendroculi]

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

you can skip player-controlled fights - 1:47-3:08, 3:40-4:49, 9:16-12:42, but with Nahida as the trial character you can assume she fought alongside them in that last one]

[unsweeten]

[ (help i never actually listened to her voice before and somehow i imagined her sounding like an adult despite looking like a kindergartener)

well, that was... certainly a lot for someone from a non-fantasy world. ]

...Huh.

[ ... ]

"Awaken the memories in your dreams"...?

week 4, wednesday night

[unsweeten]

[ somewhere outside the weather factory after leaving the party... he didn't drink a whole lot, but it's enough that he seems like less of a nervous wreck than he has for most of the week. ]

Hey... You have a good time?

[dendroculi]

[so that's what it takes for simon to relax... alcohol]

Hehe... I did, yes. Did you?

week 4, friday

[unsweeten]

[ sometime later after sharing all the shitty investigation deets with the remains of justice, simon will wander out to the cemetery, looking miserable.

he'll give nahida a little nod when he sees her, wiping his eye on the back of his hand before shoving it in his pocket. ]

...Mr. Livio said you guys found him out here, right? Um. M-Mr. Fukuzawa... I mean.

[dendroculi]

[well, she is... near the enterance of the cemetery, debating going back in to look for more clues even though she knows that won't do any good.]

...yes. I'm sorry, Simon.

week 5, wednesday evening

[unsweeten]

[ coming over when he sees her shortly after the event! ]

Heyyy, you got the arrows taken care of!

[dendroculi]

Hehe, yes. I took them out.

[is



is that all you did nahida]

[gy] w6, friday

[unsweeten]

[ well, four people are dead again, with one more living on borrowed time, and simon truly does not care beyond being a little "ugh" at the thought of having to deal with some of them here. this side's noisy enough already.

...it also pisses him off a little knowing people are upset about these deaths when they probably celebrated his, so he's just staying the fuck away from wherever most of the group is to avoid exchanging thoughts with anyone, wandering the streets with money following along. ]

[dendroculi]

[nahida is... also trying to avoid being in 10ft of the group, mainly because her vibes are still atrocious now that she's a little hungover and not able to distract herself with party games.

so, simon will, unfortunately, hear some points as he's passing by an alleyway that she's ducked into to sit by herself.

Logistically, this has the potential to be a mess... if the overall cost goes up with each victim and if the culprits are on different teams, then the points earned by the team that will actually be able to use them at the end might not be enough to offset the cost. What are we going to do...?]
