week 0, monday

[sociable]

[ hi rita

norma is just peeking into the arcade, not quite inside it. ]

Ohhh... what's this...

[rizomata]

Hm...?

[Goes over to peek too.]

Those machines...!!

[Is that excitement in her voice?]

[sociable]

Don't they look neat? They're all flashy... and stuff.

[ she wanders over to a ddr machine. ]

Oohh...

[rizomata]

I've seen something similar before, but I didn't get a chance to figure out how it works. Maybe this time...

[She's studying the DDR machine too, but from an inventor's perspective.]

[sociable]

[ she steps on the platform and it makes noises, making her jump down for a second. ]

Whoa! It's... a dancing game? People have so much free time.

[rizomata]

Those floor panels are switches... I suppose you have to use your feet to operate it.

[She goes up to the other side and taps a panel a few times with her foot, watching how the cursor on the song selection screen moves.]

[sociable]

Huh...

[ wow these people really do have free time.

she practices a few steps. ]

I guess it's for fun?

[rizomata]

Hmm... I guess we can see how it works in practice before I start taking things apart.

[look. she really wants to take them apart.]

[sociable]

Are you an inventor or something?

[ pressing buttons... oh song selection... norma has no idea what any of these are ]

[rizomata]

Yeah, you could say that.

[sociable]

[ she picks this song ]

Tech geek?

[rizomata]

I guess. I dabble in pretty much all kinds of technology.

[eyes narrowing as the music blasts at them.]

What kind of music is that, anyway...

[sociable]

No idea, I've never heard anything like this before...

[ lol. fantasy rpg.

arrows are flashing and it is taking her a few extra seconds to realize she is suppose to be hitting the arrows on the pad ]

week 0, saturday

[sociable]

[ BEFORE THEY GET ARRESTED

anyway, norma is just sitting outside, kicking her feet as she sits on a bench. ]

Oh man...

[rizomata]

[god]

Yeah, so that was a disaster.

[rita's just full of angry vibes right now.]

[sociable]

All of that and it was just... an accident? What kind of place is this?

[ this is the worst justice system. ]

[rizomata]

Seriously. If being an idiot warranted the death penalty, then most of the people here would already be dead!

[sociable]

I mean, the jail's right there, they could just keep her there for the two months...

[rizomata]

They want to make an example out of her. Those idiots!

[sociable]

How is any of this supposed to make us want to even go along with this?

[ her opinion on this whole place was already on the ground and it is just digging downwards ]

[rizomata]

Heck if I know. If anything, I'm feeling more and more like going on a rampage.

[sociable]

Honestly? Yeah! I wonder what would be the worst thing to do to them...

week 7, tuesday

[sociable]

[ what the fuck are the locations again. norma is just at a vending machine. ]

I've missed these...

[rizomata]

[ our norma...

there's a wave of relief to see her back to her normal self. ]

What, you couldn't even get cheap soft drinks over there?

[sociable]

We had this cafe thing, I guess, but it wasn't really the same... and that weird guy was there...

[ who never told them his name.... ]

[rizomata]

What weird guy?

[ trying to keep all of our weird guys straight, here. ]

[sociable]

Just some guy with blue hair. He was just... hanging out there... but didn't give us a name.

[ she is so suspicious of him but nothing happened ]

[rizomata]

Did he come back with the rest of you, or...?

[ does he just live there?? ]

[sociable]

I don't think so?

[ she didn't headcount the prinnies but she seems so unsure now ]

Week 7, Thursday

[rizomata]

[ Sometime around midday, Rita comes looking for Norma. ]

Hey Norma, can I talk to you about something?

[sociable]

Sure, what's up?

[ she lowers her voice ]

Is it top secret stuff?

[ it always is when you open the convo with asking if you can talk...... ]

[rizomata]

Basically, yeah.

[ which is why she waited for daylight, and for a chance to catch norma alone. ]

Reigen mentioned you guys found some "reading material" I'd be interested in.

[ said with the tone of someone who doesn't know if coded language is necessary here and she hates trying to be subtle, also. ]

[sociable]

[ yeah she's like ????

for ten seconds, before it finally hits her. ]

Oh! Yeah, you... mentioned you had that thing.

[ the item thing. now norma also doesn't know how subtle she has to be. ]

[rizomata]

Do you mind if I borrow it?
