week 0, monday

[disingenuous]

[ roxana is reclined in one of the massage chairs in the relaxation area. there's a book in her lap that's been abandoned, and it seems as if she's staring off somewhere, deep in her thoughts, but the moment jonas enters her proximity, her hand raises.

she crooks a finger before making a gesture for him to come closer. ]

[sixam]

[ he's about to turn around and head back out because she looks busy (no, she does not), but he also knows better than to just leave. so he will go ahead and approach... his lion has abandoned him in these trying times to go play near the water of the fountain. ]

Enjoying yourself, Roxana?

[disingenuous]

[ can she make friends with his lion if she decides to get up

she offers him a smile. ]

As much as anyone else is, I'm sure. I was wondering if you'd avoid me after our last conversation.

[sixam]

[ she can, this lion is very pro-people. jonas, meanwhile, has a seat on the arm of a nearby chair. ]

Oh? What gave you that impression? [ other than the fact he all but ran away. ]

w0, friday

[sixam]

[ good morning, he is just wandering back into the lounge. whether roxana is coming or going or already there, she will see he's being followed by his lion cub and he has a cup of coffee and he looks annoyed. but he does pause to acknowledge her. ]

So we know the doors must have unlocked last night. Do you think Essek left, or someone manages to come through and chase him out?

[ kids could you lighten up a bit. ]

[disingenuous]

[ good morning...

she can be already there, but she moves to see his lion cub. we all need a little animal therapy in these trying times. ]

I haven't talked to him enough to know one way or another, but if we were all made to to go to our lounges, it'd be too easy to find us if we stayed.

I wouldn't make it so easy.

[ no one is here to lighten them up. ]

[sixam]

[ we all need animal therapy... it's why simba immediately abandons jonas and trots over to where roxana is. ]

Yeah, it's really convenient when our names are on the door. [ ... ] Thinking about it, I think he might've left to make sure nobody else actually came in where the rest of us were. Without knowing who the other person is at first, it's possible he wanted to beat them to the punch and get a head start. I mean there's also another option, but... I don't really want to consider that.

[ he also isn't sure why one of their own teammates would kill essek, but he won't ignore that possibility either. ]

Should I take that to mean you know how to take care of yourself?

week 0, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ roxana is sitting on a bench in the flight deck. they all need some air after 9 hours inside the terminal. she is doing her best not be livid after what boothill said and failing, but she is succeeding in not looking it.

in fact, she looks calm and composed with her eyes halfway closed as if trying to feel a breeze. ]

Was that what you expected?

[sixam]

[ he'd originally come up here first of all to let simba out of their lounge to get some fresh air and also to continue giving himself lung cancer, apparently, since he's already lighting a cigarette by the time he steps outside. he stops a little behind her when she asks that though and he has to think about this. ]

I thought maybe I had a decent idea how this would go. Turns out there are still surprises that can happen for all of us. [ he has a feeling she might not actually answer him, but he asks anyway. ] You okay?

[ he cannot see that she's livid, but he does think anybody would feel a little weird in her position after what boothill said. ]

[disingenuous]

[ that's fine. he can also give her lung cancer. she'll turn to watch simba walk around. ]

Out of all the ways I thought a murder would be forced, I can't say I expected this one. Even after talking about recreation....

[ she thought she'd be safer being the only one from her game, but maybe it was because she was the only one? ]

It was a surprise.

[ just repeats his words. ]

w1, monday

[sixam]

[ good morning, we are starting at the mall because jonas is standing at a display window with his arms crossed and examining the mannequins like he's deciding if he likes the outfit or not. he is also unaware of the softly glowing bright red tattoo that seems to just say 06:00.

but he grins when he notices here and offers a little wave. ]

Hey. Better than nothing I guess, right? [ he's not exactly a fashion person but he has been getting tired of wearing the same shit, even if he hasn't removed his jacket, like, once for most of his stay here. ]

[disingenuous]

[ whoa username drop

roxana is a fashion person, and she is collecting clothes in a shopping basket. sorry for the amount of clothes that will be entering their lounge. her tattoo glows through her clothes on her back, which says caring. ]

It's better to diversify. You especially.

[sixam]

[ this is. an interesting tattoo, ma'am. what a strange fear... but he doesn't comment on it yet.



mostly because he's not sure if he should be offended suddenly or not. ]

What do you mean me especially?

week 1, sunday

[disingenuous]

[ they both have to be in their lounge at the same time eventually. jonas can find roxana fixing herself a simple but strong drink. ]

How are you faring, Jonas? Heaven seems to be quite unlucky this weekend.

[sixam]

[ hello roxana. jonas is on the couch and seems to be dangling some extra thread from their friendship-bracelet-party in front of simba to play with the lion, but the question nets an uneasy grin. ]

I will deeply appreciate when this week as a whole is over. [ heh. ] Holding up okay? Two-victim trials are always hard, and I can't think of a time an execution's ever actually fun to watch.

[disingenuous]

[ she lifts her glass, as if to say cheers to that (to the week being over). ]

It's been tiring, but I'm fine. Even outside of these games, I see much of the same thing.

w2 saturday

[sixam]

[ well.

he just wanders to the security room and over to the holding cell, a bag slung over his shoulder and a travel mug in his hand. he doesn't say anything immediately, but he does seem to gauge her to see how she seems to be. ]

[disingenuous]

[ roxana is seated on the bed, looking as placid as ever. she wouldn't break her composure if she were innocent or guilty. ]

Hello, Jonas.

[sixam]

Hey. Brought you something.

[ sets the travel mug on the floor by reaching through the bars and setting it down. he's also reaching into his bag and pulling out, like, a convenience store sandwich of some sort before also setting that down. also happy to announce he is no longer dressed like a clown, i feel like this is important to establish even if it wore off on thursday. ]

For later, if you want.

week 7, monday

[disingenuous]

[ it's easier to find jonas in the lounge again later. she'll wave for him to join her on one of the couches. ]

It's difficult to get as much as you want across in letters, don't you think? Tell me how you've been these past few weeks. There's only so much that can be seen on the screens.

[sixam]

[ truly. he will grab his drink off the counter and he doesn't hesitate to come join her, folding in his wings carefully so they aren't in her way when he settles down. he rests his glass on his knee and he's sitting a little sideways to face her, which means she can see the way he appears to be deciding what he wants to say. ]

My letter-writing skills aren't exactly the strongest because I either don't know what to say, or I'll say way too much and it still doesn't make sense. But right... all public spaces? Pretty sure it was that way at the healing center, too. [ there's a little sip. simba's busy leaping up to settle on the arm of the couch and he watches the lion for a moment. ]

I think I just need to go home for a while. It's been... a really, really long game. But that's everybody, right?

[disingenuous]

Mm. Only the public spaces, and it's not like I could catch you all every time. Usually when you were making a spectacle from being cursed.

[ she'll turn to face him more directly, too. ]

Even now, you're still deciding what you want to say, aren't you? Not too different from your messages.

[ that's said in a lightly teasing way. ]

That is everybody. Jacopo was worried about you when he arrived to the other side.

week 7, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ what if roxana wants some time with simba because she had to reject someone in public? she got extra poisoned.... why did this have to happen.....

anyway, she'll offer jonas a tired smile when she sees him. ]

How was all that for you? What you expected? Better, worse?

[sixam]

[ simba is useless and immediately curls up in roxana's lap. and jonas offers an equally tired smile. ]

I'll be honest, I still don't know how we pulled third. But... it's in Meowsandry's hands I guess. We did the best we could here. At least the horse seems okay.

[disingenuous]

[ simba is the best. simba would have roxana's vote for mayor. she idly pets him. ]

You and Tama must have done wonders. I don't know what nets bonus points, but it seems you managed it.

I am glad we managed to resolve things for the horse.
