nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"

[tsunderine]

The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

But it's there, along with the end of the week.

Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


Well.

Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

So what are you doing these next two days?

Comments

[oxidegreen]

Because watering cans have the innate power to heal.

...Maybe think of it as washing away the impurities?

[kaliedoscopes]

[ ........................... ]

I guess it—I'll worry about it another day. [ When he doesn't have a concussion. ]

You don't need to stay here with me, I'll be alright.

[oxidegreen]

[She shakes her head - sorry, that's gonna be a no go.]

There isn't anywhere else I feel like going anyway.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Well that's fair tbh. ]

Everyone seemed worse off than last week.

[oxidegreen]

Last week was Mr. Minamimoto.

[There... was not much love lost on that one.]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ He lets out a breath that's just short of laughter. ]

Yeah, it was. [ .... ] He seems to have stuck to the same charades as a ghost, too.

[oxidegreen]

He definitely didn't waste any time harassing me.

[It's truly unfortunate that his ghost is still around.]

[kaliedoscopes]

...what did he do, exactly?

[oxidegreen]

He just called me boring and knocked around some of the things in the garden while I was trying to plant some of the seeds. It wasn't as bad as it could have been.

I think he got fed up when I stopped acknowledging him.

[kaliedoscopes]

He's worse than a child throwing a tantrum. [ Shaking his head slowly and slightly regretting it after, oof. ]

He'll give up if you don't give him anything to react to and eventually take his "anguish" somewhere else. [ Airquotes very much heard. ]

[oxidegreen]

Please try to keep still.

[She sees that!! You have a miasma concussion no head shaking.]

But... Yes, that's what it seems like. At least he gets bored easily.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Grumble but he won't retort back. Also possibly somewhat of a minor actual concussion considering Subete yeeted him but it's fine. ]

Hopefully his imagination is as bad as his art, or he moves onto someone else. [ Because he could escalate all things considered but hm. ]

There were a few people he got along with, right?

[oxidegreen]

I think so. Mr. Sissel, Ms. Yachi, and Mr. Giovanni.

...

Although I think Mr. Sissel and Ms. Yachi get along with most of the people here.

[kaliedoscopes]

Yeah, I think that's true, Yachi certainly seems popular with one of our roommates too. [ He may not have commented at their public displays but you have a keen sense of these things when you're from otomeville. ]

[oxidegreen]

She does.

[She should know, she had a whole talk with Yachi about it.]

Maybe he'll get it through his head... but I'm not so sure.

[She's fairly certain by now that he's an idiot when it comes to those matters especially.]

[kaliedoscopes]

Get what through his head, exactly?

[oxidegreen]

That there are people who are going to care about him and he's going to need to learn how to deal with that.

[kaliedoscopes]

Considering his time so far in this mansion, does he seriously think otherwise? [ There are a lot of people here so he hasn't been keeping super close tabs on his roomies, but like. still. ]

[oxidegreen]

It seems that way.

[It's clear from her dry tone that she thinks this is incredibly dumb. Bitty judgment squad, etc. etc.]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Sighs loudly. ]

And he was trying to lecture me before.

[oxidegreen]

Oh?

[Pray tell. Is this going to be a pot calling a kettle black situation?]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Kindaaaa. ]

About being careful and not assuming things.

[oxidegreen]

Assuming things about what?

[kaliedoscopes]

A fair number of things, but mostly in regards to life experience. [ Shrug. ] I don't know my actual age or have all my memories, so he's not exactly wrong.

[oxidegreen]

So... you may have more experience with things thank you think?
