[ wow.

norma is sitting on one of the capsule hotel beds, presumably her own, and just.

sighing. ]

[resumed]

[ it would've been funny if it wasn't hers.

anyway so norma is truly minding her own business and sighing about their fate, but after a moment she may feel as though she's being watched?

glancing at a dark corner of the capsule space, she will find two glowing white eyes staring at her, actually. what will she do? ]

[sociable]

[ .........




she throws a shoe. ]

[resumed]

[ yeah that's valid. there's a startled chirp and the skittering of sharp claws on the floor as the something darts off. nico, meanwhile, appears at the other end of the hall entering the capsule rooms and he appears to be a little bewildered. ]

Seriously, you can't wander off on your own here. [ it's with the sound of his voice that there's a cooing little purr, and a shadow-y cat-like creature slinks out of the dark pocket and scuttles its way over to nico and crawls up his pantlegs.

this is about when he notices norma. and the shoe. and he gives her a quizzical frown. ]

Did...you try to throw a shoe? [ he doesn't sound mad, but it's sort of curious. ]

[sociable]

Yes...

[ there's an awkward pause before she goes to hobble over to get it. ]

My bad. Usually when I see big eyes, it's usually a monster trying to eat me.

[resumed]

[ it's fine, he's kind of grinning a little. ]

Yeah, that makes two of us. Don't worry. I have a friend who once threw a hairbrush at a monster to help us get away. A shoe at least has a little more impact.

[ the shadow creature settles on nico's shoulder and it chirps at norma, lamp eyes staring at her again. ]

Sorry.

[sociable]

Hey, don't knock the hairbrush! That can leave a good bump.

[ not that she is speaking from experience or anything. ]

So, who's this little guy?

[resumed]

She threw it into his eye. [ get fucked, luke. ] But I'll keep that in mind.

[ chirpchirp. ]

I'm...not sure what I want to call it yet. For now I guess you can call it a cocoa puff. [ he doesn't want to call it shame, thank you. ] A clothes thief and a new tastetester.

[sociable]

I see... is that right, Puffy?

[ she just names it. ]

Did you come with it?

[resumed]

[ you know what. puffy is better than the alternative so he will accept this. the cacodemon is still busy not-really purring but sort of vibrating on nico's shoulder as it watches. ]

Yes. Not that I can even begin to tell you why. It isn't like I like this one more than its siblings. I guess whoever brought us here wanted to take my powers and my sword.

week 0, friday

[sociable]

[ she is just sort of standing outside one of the police taped off areas. uh fuck it. casino. ]

This one too, huh...

[resumed]

[ casinos are cursed. ]

How many does that make now? [ he didn't really read much beyond "rocket was found dead at the cafe" and has been sort of following the commotion. ] This is a mess.

[sociable]

The paper said there were three places...

[ she sighs. ]

How is someone dead? We've been here for a week.

[resumed]

Which is still three too many. [ folding his arms over his chest. ] It's only been a week, and someone went after someone they thought might be an easy target because he's small. What I want to know is why. A villain?

[sociable]

It's the only thing that makes sense. I don't think the civilians would, right?

[ does not even consider it was one of them ]

[resumed]

That definitely wouldn't make any sense. What motive would the civilians have to kill Rocket? We just got here.

[ has considered it might be one of them just because competitions and world-threats, but he's nice enough to keep his extremely jaded thoughts to himself. ]

[sociable]

Well, sometimes civilians turn out to be more than just that, but...

[ ugghhhh ]

I don't know. It just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth that this is how we found out.

[resumed]

Me too. How are we supposed to be saving anyone if we couldn't even be awake to try and save Rocket when he was in trouble? I can't understand that. We got locked in and forced to fall asleep. Someone really wanted all of us out of the way.

[sociable]

Does someone have some sort of power that lets them do that...? It would be pretty powerful, if that were the case.

week 7, tuesday

[sociable]

[ i refuse to look up what the locations are i have been dead too long to care.

anyway, they can be outside, she is just walking around. ]

Wow...

[resumed]

[ you're so valid. he's just here and following around. ]

I know you guys can see everything over there, but it's a little crazier to actually experience it, huh? You've missed a lot in the last several weeks.

[sociable]

As long as I never see another cubicle again.

[ and she won't because cubicles do not exist on the legacy. ]

[resumed]

They really said suffer, huh. [ gods. but he shakes his head. ] If you're up for it, I can show you some of the stuff you missed. We...kind of got a lot. Some of it is stuff I haven't even really looked at.

[sociable]

Yeah! I'm pretty jealous you guys got the ocean, honestly... I've been missing it.

[resumed]

Have you actually been over there yet? We can go check it out if you want to.
