WEEK 6 - LOBELIA

[foundationmods]

Six weeks.

They had been here for that long, and still...the game was continuing.
Yet, it felt like they were finally about to reach the end of it...
Just a little longer. 🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
Yet, it felt like this week would be the week they would finally get all the pieces to the puzzle.
But...could they solve it?

Only time would tell.

[ No plate dropping on Natsuno's watch! Zipping past and saving the plate. Was he always this fast? ]

Tired?

1/2

[respring]

Oh, thank you. And, no, I'm actually really--

[respring]

[ AH FUCK IT'S NATSUNO

Sakura tenses up a little. ]

...really happy.

Um. Hello, Yuuki-san.

[sotoshini]

[ If you were expecting his third revival to grant him courtesy, you're gonna be disappointed Sakura. He blinks once and offers her back the plate. ]

I see. [ Head tilt and looking at her, waiting for an explanation. ]

?

[respring]

[ Week 6: Sakura has still not figured out how to talk to Natsuno. HE'S SO INTIMIDATING, WHAT DOES SHE EVEN SAY ]

I-I don't know if it would be something you're interested in hearing about.

[sotoshini]

Why not? [ Continuing to stare. ]

[respring]

Well, um, we don't know each other...as well, and it's sort of...

[ She doubts Natsuno wants to hear about her love life ]

[sotoshini]

You're right, we don't. [ If it's possible to sound both dismissive and pleased, that's exactly what he sounds like. ]

But that applies to almost everyone here and me. [ So it's completely up to her. But he hasn't actually disengaged like all the other times they've talked so...?]

[respring]

[ natsuno you are a puzzle wrapped up in a man's body ]

...it's not really a secret, just--um. Are you that interested...?

[sotoshini]

Just say it already.

[respring]

[ NOT WITH THAT KIND OF REACTION. She just looks spooked, gg. ]

It's nothing!...I-I have to...finish clearing the table...if you'll...

[sotoshini]

If I'll what?

[ Yes, he knows what she's implying. No, he won't make this easy for her because this is how he is. ]

[respring]

If you'll...let me pass...

[sotoshini]

Go ahead. [ And just like that he'll get out of her way by... flying upwards with sudden dark brown wings that weren't there a second ago. He's very much floating here, not so much watching her but clearly thinking about something. ]

[respring]

[ JUST. RAPIDLY CLEANS UP WHILE TRYING TO PRETEND NATSUNO ISN'T LITERALLY HOVERING OVER HER

is there something else he wants to say or are these two silent weirdos going to end another conversation with zero sound? ]

[sotoshini]

[ There is! He is also lounging in the air while she scurries about, so maybe that'll feel slightly less weird. Maybe. ]

I'm not interested unless it has something to do with the game. [ A beat. ] Or Watanuki.

[respring]

[ You can practically hear her come to a screeching halt. ]

Why, ah...why is that what you're interested in?

[sotoshini]

[ Flaring his wings out wide to their full span, he looks down at her head tilted. ]

Because I'm his piece.

[respring]

[ Is this how you get your kicks, Natsuno. Using your Extra demon powers to intimidate nervous girls.

Weirdly enough, though, it's that response that gets her to steel herself a little bit. She straightens out and tries her best to look unbothered (she is not unbothered). ]

And? What if I say 'yes, it was him'?

[sotoshini]

[ Is he trying to be intimidating though. ]

Then I'd want to know. [ He doesn't seem bothered, just more thoughtful about this whole exchange, hand under his chin. ]

[respring]

Th-Then there's your answer.

[ whelp ]

[sotoshini]

[ .... ]

I'll just ask him.
