I've probably slept in worse conditions. I think. I'm sure Usagi won't mind having the room to herself for most of the week.

[ she's livin' the outdoors life this week, apparently. ]

[antaressnipe]

It is the same with Ochako. I'm fairly certain I startled her this morning anyway.

[chanteuser]

... Oh, with the llama thing?

[antaressnipe]

Yes.

[EYES CLOSING, he just does not want to think about that mess even if he only just got out of it.]

I perhaps panicked upon waking and rushed out the door.

[chanteuser]

...

[ oh dear. she just... pats his arm. ]

I imagine it was pretty startling.

[antaressnipe]

Yes, though no more startling than what the Realm usually graces us with.

[He still remembers that pirate attack and shudders in his soul]

[chanteuser]

I don't know... I think I'd find that pretty difficult to get used to. I wonder who did that to you...?

[ because they're rude af ]

[antaressnipe]

Claude.

[said in vague disapproval]

He did so because... something about keep having a similar form...?

[chanteuser]

[ she just.



gives him the flattest look. ]

What.

[antaressnipe]

[that last tag was supposed to have "me", not "keep", smh in phone tags]

Yes, because I have four legs... I think.

[it made sense during their conversation but now Chiron is confused again, it happens]

[chanteuser]

[ she just automatically reaches out and pats his arm ]

No thinking about it, remember?

... I see his logic, but-- [ it was pretty obvious last week that chiron had forgotten that, wasn't it...? ]

[antaressnipe]

-- Ah, yes. Forgive me.

[making himself not!think is tougher than it looks some days]

Well, it is no longer a problem. We were meant to use our items this week, correct? So I cannot fault him too much.

[chanteuser]

Have you used one of yours?

[ that's... a reminder, at least. that they should use their items if they can, while they can. ]

... Which items do you have left, anyway?

[antaressnipe]

My flower, I believe -- using it will make the person burst into song.

[so extremely mild as far as consequences go]

[chanteuser]

Hmmm.

[ she looks thoughtful. ]

Don't forget to use it before the week's out [ or i'll assume he's deda and beegun you, marie ] or you might be stuck doing something one of the items could do next week...

[antaressnipe]

[this takes place on Tuesday, he hasn't used it yet!! Let me live 😒]

I will be cautious... though thankfully we are almost at the end.

[so even if he did forget, he doubts it will be any punishment so severe when they might have a creature to kill... he hopes...]

[chanteuser]

[ none trust, but yes you may live. ]

You can use it on me on Sunday, if you still need to. I don't mind.

[ at this point she's already spontaneously burst into song in public after last week so... ]

Yes. This is probably the last stretch, isn't it? After this weekend...

[antaressnipe]

[with a wide smile]

I appreciate you volunteering, but no, I believe Claude has already put in his bid for my item.

[😌 sometimes even Chiron is moved by pettiness]

... and yes. After this weekend, we can only hope the creature shows itself so that we might be rid of it at last.

[chanteuser]

[ ... pfft. ]

I see. It was nice of him to volunteer then.

[ she's covering up her laughter decently well, she thinks. ]

Yes. It's... been long enough at this point. It's got to end one way or another.
