week 0; monday

[fergalicious]

[ They're going to meet outside the simulation room sometime, somehow. Chance is funny that way. So is convenience.

She points at the room once she sees Aoi. ]

Show me what your game looks like.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods! she is very easy to boss around. ]

I can show you what it was going to be. It's been patched into this, though.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb does not understand what patched means in this case, but she doesn't care to ask for an explanation.

She gestures at the podium. ]

Do it now.

[gamerbrain]

[ sure! aoi obediently steps up to the podium and sets it to display a world she's more familiar with. what populates around them appears to be... a pretty regular high school rooftop! there's a fence, for safety. and you can see a sprawling, ordinary city stretching out into the horizon.

except oh god why is the sky like that ]

[fergalicious]

[ WHY IS THE SKY LIKE THAT COLA

Except Medb doesn't seem to be taken too aback by it. She does look up at with some kind of curiosity and interest, but her alarm is minimal. ]

Explain the sky.

[ (tsuru voice) explain the mouth ]

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi looks up at the sky for a moment. then touches the panel again.

and the sky is a nice ordinary blue sky! ]

It was lag.

week 1: friday

[gamerbrain]

[ hello sorry for the starter being like this, but kaz is dead so aoi is just staring vacantly into space outside of the tea room. it's? fine? ]

[fergalicious]

[ It's okay. Aoi is valid.

Medb can't tell if this is different from usual yet, so here she goes. ]

Did you see something, Aoi?

[gamerbrain]

See? Boop boop...

Nope.

[fergalicious]

[ ... ]

Did you like Kaz or Grell?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi didn't know Grell, but...

Kaz was Aoi's roommate and bestie.

[fergalicious]

[ Bestie... ]

Are you sad?

week 3: monday

[gamerbrain]

[ wherever medb is at, even if it's a strange place to be doing so, aoi is idling around... playing with her camera! she's not taking pictures, but she is holding it up and looking through it... pointing it around the room. looking down at her legs with it.

kicking her little legs out a bit. hm. hm hm hm.

... oh hello medb, now the camera is pointed at you! ]

Wanna take pictures?

[fergalicious]

[ She flashes a victory sign almost instinctively but pauses just as immediately. ]

What will you give me for portrait rights?

[ Feeling greed in this Chili's tonight. ]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi doesn't have anything to give you.

[ hmm... she thinks about it a little longer... and digs out the little bag of cookies she had at trial from her pocket? these cookies are pitch black. they are clearly inedible. ]

Aoi only has these.

[fergalicious]

[ This is terrible. ]

You need to throw those out and try again.

[ A beat. ]

Unless you want to poison someone.

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi gasps. she doesn't want to poison anyone!

so she

throws the bag as hard as she can across the room! goodbye cookies. ]

week 5; thursday

[fergalicious]

[ Well.

Two people are here when there should probably be more. She sighs. ]

Are you doing better, Aoi?

[ How much more healed is Aoi? ]

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi is also looking around like she? expects there to be more people in here? excuse me? sqx? endorsi???

but as for her injuries, they're better. she's still missing a chunk of hair, but her scalp is healed. and she has some bandages now with blood on them over her stab wounds, so they clearly aren't fully healed, but they're not actively bleeding right now.
how about medb. how is medb doing. ]

Aoi's all better. How are you?

[fergalicious]

[ gmail did not give me this notif but i was like MY COLA CR and checked my dw inbox

Yeah, that's a fucking mood, Aoi. Why aren't they here and why does it smell like something is baking? She hates the food theme. ]

You can stand to heal some more, and so can I.

[ Medb's injuries are 75% healed? Her ear is still regrowing and healing, but it's more there than it was. Aoi can't see it, but she can maybe make a guess, but the heart-shaped wound on her face is a scar now, but Medb is covering it with her hair. Her arm is still a bit fucked up. ]

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi hesitates, like she thinks medb is going to force her into the pods or something... don't make her go back in there it's boring... ]

Aoi will heal up more, later...

[fergalicious]

[ Nah, Medb also isn't going in either, and she isn't going to force Aoi to. Aoi can make her own decisions.... probably. ]

You know, the last time I was told that....

[ Douman died. It's fine? Hope Aoi isn't dead tomorrow. ]

Just make sure you do it sometime, okay?

week 7; wednesday

[fergalicious]

[ They're in the void or wherever Aoi is. Medb's just walking around, a bit restless. ]

Hey, Aoi. Have you already seen all the new rooms?

[gamerbrain]

[ probably just the common room or whatever, playing on her smartphone. ]

Not all of them.

[fergalicious]

[ it's fine. medb will just sit next to her. ]

Well, you have a little time left.

[ med has no idea how much time they have left. ]
