I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND FRANCY SO WELL

Comments

week 3, tuesday

[disingenuous]

[ roxana is trying all her might to avoid people, but there are only so many places to go, and she refuses to hide like a coward. it's counterproductive to what she wants, but whatever.

there is no time for roxana to pivot when she sees wriothesley.

it's so damn windy. ]

THAT BODY TEXT IS SO OMINOUS, TAKE IT BACK

[frostfist]

[ why is it so fucking windy, they are indoors for crying out loud.

not when wriothesley only gets half a second to reorient himself after blown around just to realize that he's no longer in the airport but in another memory. great. cool. wonderful. it is, admittedly, not a memory he understands in its entirety, but the emotions that suffuse through every inch of it are familiar: exhaustion, resentment, anger.

but he keeps his feet planted against the gruond, a sober expression affixed to his face as he watches the whole thing play out. then: ]

Miss Roxana?

[ he can at least give her the grace of composing herself first. ]

no

[disingenuous]

[ when will he become someone's boyfriend PLEASE

this phantom wind needs to go, trapped outside and not inside any of these terminals. this is a memory that she can at least keep her composure about despite its contents. it'd be easy to just walk away or pretend nothing happened, but she's resigned by this point. ]

You can disregard anything you saw.

[ whether or not he understands anything. ]

[frostfist]

[ when essek also becomes someone's boyfriend, my needs are simple

while wriothesley would love to let bygones (invasions of memory privacy) be bygones, i need to wrangle at least one sliver of meaningfulness out of roxana. he studies her a moment, then gestures. ]

I hear talking about your troubles often helps. Though you don't strike me as the type of person to enjoy much talk.

[disingenuous]

[ why can't that be wrio? why can't.... both needs be met at the same time? wressek...?

WREK

PLEASE WREK IS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP

anyway, i'm going to report you to the mods for your ic/ooc divide. i, too, want them to have something meaningfully platonic. ]

There are many things I can talk about, but what would you like me to say? I was expecting to be a hostage.

[frostfist]

[ the way i saw wrek and thought you were about to make a shrek joke. i would do it for a shrek-themed ship name tbh. ]

Is that a situation you find yourself in frequently?

[disingenuous]

[ I BELIEVE......

she shakes her head. ]

I am not often in a situation where I can be taken so easily. This was a surprise in more than one way.

week 4, tuesday

[frostfist]

[ well that sure was something. T U E S D A Y, amirite? and the see-through funhouse is something else as well. he's staring at one of the x-rays that's labeled "12% tea by weight". huh. ]

That's oddly specific.

[ HOW DO THEY KNOW ]

[disingenuous]

[ it was a T U E S D A Y for a lot of you

roxana's says "50% poison by weight" no it doesn't it's probably more like 10%. ]

Specific, but not surprising?

[frostfist]

I feel like I should be more concerned by yours.

[ 10% IS A LOT? ]

[disingenuous]

As a daughter of one of the most powerful noble families, poison resistance was somewhat of a necessity.

[ what can you do about it ]

[frostfist]

That didn't seem to save you from kidnapping though.

[ he sidles to the left and gets hit with "hair color: #161311 (tea bag) and #B4AFA9 (laid back gray)". okay. ]

I didn't realize being a noble was so dangerous.

[disingenuous]

It depends on the kind of noble you and the kind of family you're born into.

[ she wasn't kidnapped because she was poisoned. not really. ]

These frames are truly trying to hint that you love tea.

w6 tuesday

[frostfist]

[ we're just setting this after the thots party now. they are in the very normal crofe where the pastries look vaguely like croissants instead of dicks and boobs. ]

All recovered from yesterday?

[disingenuous]

[ roxana will take any kind of pastry crossed with a croissant over the sex cruise ship any day. ]

I wasn't the one who carried someone away for a "tour." Did you all actually do that ritual?

[ since she left.... ]

[frostfist]

It was a very pleasant tour.

[ literally no one asked. ]

But yes, we did. [ he frowns. ] It worked surprisingly well for how ridicullous it was.

[disingenuous]

[ i didn't ask.

she didn't ask. ]

It's good to hear that all you needed was a majority.

[ because if they needed everyone, they were going to be stuck there forever. or until the plane came. ]

[frostfist]

You should have joined us. I'm sure it would have worked even faster had you been there.

[ even if he literally can't imagine roxana saying 'come hither thot' ]

[disingenuous]

I'd let you all rot.

[ is she joking? is she sincere? it's hard to say. ]

week 7, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ they did it. hooray. they can be in the wahoo lounge because my head is empty for locations. ]

How was the ending for you? Are you going to return to your underground fortress, Wriothesley?

[frostfist]

[ tags this before i lose it under the weight of my other tags ]

Work never ends. Honestly, after all the excitement here, paperwork sounds like heaven.

[ no tiny wizards, no angry horse emotions, no three headed geese.....tears up. ]

What about yourself?

[disingenuous]

[ this makes him sound like a white collar salary man. it's kind of amusing to her when he walks around carrying handcuffs. ]

You make yourself sound so old like that.

[ paperwork should never be heaven. at least think of your bed. ]

I'll be returning home to tie up some loose ends.

[frostfist]

And the grey hair doesn't?

[ is it actually grey hair.....did genshin just decide to make his hair that way.....who can say. ]

That sounds similar to many people I've talked to. I hope it's nothing too complicated.

[disingenuous]

It doesn't detract.

[ hyv would never give grey hair (aging) to a playable character like that unless they're meant to be notably old. it's grey hair (aesthetic). ]

Most of us were likely pulled from the middle of something. It's simpler now that it's the end of it.

[frostfist]

[ i will continue my delusions that it's because he's old(er) ]

I suppose that does make sense. The additional conflict would increase the production value. [ their televised drama...... ] And afterwards? Once you tie up your loose ends. Have you thought that far.
