week 0; saturday

[fergalicious]

[ It's after someone cursed the common room with cheese whiz.

Medb's in the common room, and she's staring at the cheese mess like she can't believe it's not butter—

Haha, no. She absolutely hates it, and it shows. ]

Doesn't whatever criminal who did this know there are other people here?

[ Other, better people, her tone indicates. ]

[fisherwoman]

Awful, isn't it? This room was one of the nicer ones! Now we can't even use the tub!

[She wants to fight the person who did this!!]

week 0; tuesday

[fergalicious]

[ Hello, Endorsi!

How about that experimental holding room? Medb is exiting it and about to enter the planetarium when she sees the other girl. Medb gestures behind her. ]

That's pretty suspicious, isn't it?

[fisherwoman]

Do you think they're real?

[She has absolutely no idea what to make of this, and that's a feeling she doesn't particular enjoy. Gross.]

Well, at least they aren't dead, I guess.

w0, friday.

[fisherwoman]

[She's heading towards the simulation room! But it looks like someone is already inside. What does Endorsi see when she enters in?]

[fergalicious]

[ She sees Medb looking around in curiosity. The room itself doesn't seem to be set to look like anything just yet except there's just a bunch of cherry blossoms that seem to be clinging to Medb. More and more and more... until it's like she's covered? ]

Huh.

w0, saturday again.

[fergalicious]

[ Hm! Wow! They got it wrong! Terrible.

Only Medb doesn't seem too disgruntled. She waves when she sees Endorsi. ]

Endorsi. How was that to you?

[fisherwoman]

...Frustrating.

[But not really for the obvious reason, because she follows up with:]

I don't like it when I don't completely understand something. Well, I can guess what might have happened, but...

[Her pride!!]

w1, monday.

[fisherwoman]

[Wandering around the new areas means that she enters the tea room on Monday afternoon, glancing around at the pastries and teapots around the room before she sees Medb. The bruise on her face from being kicked yesterday is still quite noticeable, and she's walking a little gingerly because of the injury to her ribs, but:]

Have you tried any of it yet?

[fergalicious]

[ Medb pats the chair next to her. ]

Come, sit. It's all good. Unless you don't like sweets. I haven't spoken to Gluttony, but it seems like it'd fit in with their sin.

[ Very decadent. ]

week 1; friday

[fergalicious]

[ It's been at least a day since the CYOA people came out of the kitchen. It's probably(?), hopefully(?) cleaner now. Medb hopes someone took care of any viscera that dropped from those four, but she's here to get some water. ]

It's good to see you, Endorsi.

[ It's good she's not in the notifs they all got this morning. ]

[fisherwoman]

Mm, it's good to see you too.

[Casual, like nothing noteworthy has happened this morning. After a moment, though:]

So I guess we'll be stuck inside tomorrow...

week 1; sunday

[fergalicious]

[ Hello, Endorsi. Wherever she is, Medb is looking for her. There has been quite some new developments from that execution. It's a lot!

Business first, though. ]

How much do you think was the truth?

[ Was it on orders? ]

[fisherwoman]

...I can't think of a reason why he would lie.

[Although, with a sigh:]

Maybe he just wanted to make us all paranoid. But, I don't think that's the case.

w2, tuesday. 1/2.

[fisherwoman]

[Given the memories she's been showing and seeing this week, Endorsi has been trying to stay more scarce than normal until this effect fades away. That being said... She isn't the type to be satisfied just staying in her room all week, and while she spends most of Monday night in her room, by on Tuesday morning she's restless. She heads up to the uppermost floor available to them, walking into the biome. She tells herself she'll be careful, but - she doesn't notice Medb out of the corner of her eye and walks a little bit too close, and the other woman will experience something unfamiliar out of nowhere.]

2/2.

[fisherwoman]

[You're much younger in this memory, and you're in a dark, cold room. There's a table in the center of the room laid out with exquisite food, warm candles illuminating the people who sit - but you aren't one of them. You didn't win any of your fights today, you know, so you haven't been invited to the table to eat that food. You're given a small amount of stale bread, old enough that it just barely hasn't started to grow mold yet, and left to sit near the corner of the drafty room on the ground. You're so hungry. You wish that, even for a day, you could sit at that table with the other girls and taste that food, feel the warm candlelight. But you've never been strong enough.

The next day, though, something changes. During the day's fights... For the first time, you win. For the first time, you do well enough that you can sit at the table. You can taste the food that the rest of the girls eat. Compared to the cold, stale bread you've been eating for months, it's so warm and filling that you want to cry. You can't remember the last time you weren't hungry.

You don't forget that feeling. You start winning the fights by any means necessary. Not all of the girls survive through it. Some of them cry before you kill them, and some of them beg. The staff in the mansion start to look at you with fear in their eyes. You don't care. You're not going to starve. You're going to live. You're going to have power. You're going to be strong. Strong enough to be safe, strong enough that someday you'll never remember the taste of that stale bread, the feeling of sitting alone in the dark corner of the room while you wished and waited. The group of other girls gets smaller and smaller, but it doesn't matter. If this is the only way to make it in the world, you'll do it.

Even after the rest of them are gone, you will survive.

As the memory ends, she's moving back, raising her hand - before she realizes that she's not in the middle of another fight, and lets it fall. She's silent for a beat.]

I...

w2, saturday.

[fisherwoman]

[She's wandering around the building like normal after the trial ends! But wherever she sees Medb, she stops in place.]

...We aren't very good at this, are we?

[Annoying.]

[fergalicious]

[ Her lips quirk in small, if wry smile. ]

For a moment, I thought we were doing better. We didn't get nearly as distracted this time, but the murderers really were busy.

[ So many locations. ]

w3, wednesday.

[fisherwoman]

[She's wandering around the library in the morning when she notices Medb inside, and while she pauses upon seeing the other woman... For whatever reason, she's making a beeline for her and just leaning into her.

...As opposed to how embarrassed she's felt the other times this has happened, though, she doesn't seem too upset about this? Weird.]

[fergalicious]

[ Oh, that is a little surprising, but it's not displeasing or unwanted. Medb smiles although she tilts her head in curiosity. ]

I like this, but... is it because it's Wednesday or did someone use a gift on you?

[ It's the lack of embarrassment that tips it off. ]

w3, friday.

[fisherwoman]

[Almost as soon as she hears the announcement, she starts looking around for Medb. When she finds the other woman in the observing room, she approaches, though she isn't quite sure what to say. She'll take a moment to take note of how she seems before speaking up.

That being said, the expression on her face is clearly sympathetic.]

[fergalicious]

[ It's fine. Whatever Medb is feeling is tightly coiled. Her anger is simmering. Or at least it's her anger that she's fine with letting show. ]

It's mostly anger right now.

[ Medb will at least say that much. She's not shy with her feelings ever, but for now, she can start with that. ]

week 3; sunday

[fergalicious]

[ Law is dead. Yuel is back and safe. It's the outcome Medb wanted for this execution, so it's not like she's unhappy.

Still, when she sees Endorsi, she holds out her arms. ]

Endorsi.

[fisherwoman]

[She pauses for a moment, just a bit surprised, before she heads towards Medb.]

Do you want a hug, or...?

week 4; tuesday

[fergalicious]

[ medb is outside the kitchen when she sees endorsi. ]

Hey, are you suffering like I am? [ she makes a face. kindness week,,,, ] Do you want to steal some kitchen appliances and repurpose them?

[fisherwoman]

[...]

What are you thinking of repurposing them for?

[But her expression clearly says yes.]

week 4; friday

[fergalicious]

[ Endorsi can catch Medb running out of the city, her arms raised as if recently trying to stop something from hitting her. ]

Endorsi, I have no idea what shrimp have to do with anything!

[fisherwoman]

Wasn't there something about shrimp on her profile...?

[But also, and more importantly, she's looking worried and a little alarmed.]

Are you alright?

w4, saturday.

[fisherwoman]

[A while after the trial ends, she's wandering around the biome garden, though she pauses when she sees Medb. With a sigh:]

Why are these always so confusing...

[fergalicious]

[ She points to a bench. ]

Come sit with me? All that drama exploded at the last minute, huh? No one was ready to sling accusations until the clock was ready to run out.

w5, friday

[fergalicious]

[ Wherever Endorsi is. The void or otherwise, Medb looks at her with a frown. Three people may be dead, but... ]

Where were you last night?

[ Oh, Medb isn't fully healed yet. Just mostly. ]

[fisherwoman]

[Endorsi is also much more healed than Medb saw her last night! The scratches on her face are about 75% healed, and the two missing fingers are back, even though they are Outside Bones. She can even speak, though it sounds slow and awkward as she does.]

I didn't want to spend the night there. Too crowded. I was in the planetarium with a few friends.

w5, saturday.

[fisherwoman]

[When Medb finds her, she's in the spa, doing her nails. She looks up when the other woman comes in, but she doesn't say anything quite yet.]

[fergalicious]

[ She sits down next to her. ]

Do your feelings remain the same, or now that he's possibly Aoi's murderer....?

[ Does that change things for Endorsi? ]

w5, sunday

[fergalicious]

[ Medb's on one of the beds in the Medbay, her ankle propped up. She's touching it, as if testing how much it still hurts. She is 80% healed.

She looks up when Endorsi enters. ]

If he was going to live, I would have let the monster eat him.

[ Her feeling are. Well, she doesn't know what her feelings are really, but that's a true sentiment. ]

[fisherwoman]

[she laughs, even as she looks pretty concerned.]

Well, I'm glad you're feeling enough to say that. [...] What are you angry at him for?

w6, tuesday.

[fisherwoman]

Do you have time for an indulgence?

[fergalicious]

I always have time for you.♡

week 6, friday

[fergalicious]

[ Well, there are no shoes here but clown shoes in this closet, and as she looks at the death notification on her phone, there is a wave of emotions that Medb goes through.

It's annoyance, it's frustration, it's anger, it's exasperation. There's distaste, but there is no surprise. Who could be surprised, really? There is perhaps a small pinprick of resignation and sadness underneath all that. ]

No one is surprised, and no one is going to care too much, huh?

[ Medb unfortunately cares. ]

[fisherwoman]

[from her end, there's a wave of wariness as she reads the notification... and while there's a wave of deep anger and disappointment, there's no surprise, no. still, her voice is a little tight when she answers.]

...No, they probably aren't. But you and I do, huh?

[even if she doesn't think that she was as close with childe as medb was.]

w6, saturday.

[fisherwoman]

[when medb comes looking for her, she's beating up a punching bag in the gym! her emotional state is... mostly angry, but there's some growing fear there as well.

still, when she sees her, she'll stop kicking this poor bag and look towards her, trying to see what her emotional state is instead.]

[fergalicious]

[ Endorsi will feel concern for her, and that's about it.

Any of Medb's other emotions are coiled and unreadable. It's not blank, but it's like she's using the part of her that's a queen for this. ]

What are you angry at, Endorsi? What are you afraid of?

week 7; tuesday

[fergalicious]

Endorsi!

[ She links their arms together immediately when she sees her in the PC Cafe. ]

Have you had boba before?

[ What kind of food culture is there in her tower? Maybe Medb should ask more about it. ]

[fisherwoman]

[linking their arms easily, with a smile.]

Boba? No, I don't think so.

[i have no idea what's happening in tower of god foodwise]

What is it?

week 7; saturday

[fergalicious]

[ They did it! AHHHH. Well, half of the things have gone okay! Medb is bright. She's only optimistc when there's certainty, but she beelines it for Endorsi the moment she sees her.

It's almost a tackle. It's definitely a hug. ]

Nothing terrible happened when you were in that creature, right?

[ Medb is still in her fancy casino heist dress. ]

[fisherwoman]

[hugging right back! she's used to this now.]

Well... It did, but not to me, and they were fine just a few minutes later. And you?

[she doesn't look injured, so.]
