[disingenuous]

[ she's seated outside the cafe, but she's not drinking any coffee. she'll call out to him whenever scaramouche walks by: ]

I didn't think you'd put effort in avoiding property damage.

[nascens]

[He'll pause on his way to wherever the hell it is Scaramouches go when she calls out.]

If they plan on jailing people for property damage here, too, I want no part in it.

[Hell prepared him for this...]

[disingenuous]

Hell cares about property damage and incarcerates you for it?

[ she thinks that's funny, but at least it doesn't show on her face. ]

How unexpected. You should have made someone test it out for you.

w0 fri!

[nascens]

[They can be in the outside area flight deck thingy because he needs to get as much fake fresh air as possible before they're all shoved into another sardines can room for nine hours tomorrow.]

Wouldn't have put my bets on him, to be honest.

[disingenuous]

[ they need to fake photosynthesize like plants. so real, so true. she is sitting on some random bench by the flowers and planters. ]

No? Who were you expecting it to be? He could have been killed by a teenager again.

[nascens]

[THEY DO. THEIR SUN. THE FRESH AIR. THEY HAVE TO TOUCH GRASS. Roxana is so beautiful surrounded by flowers and planters but im playing an idiot who wouldn't notice or care. What good is this fuck.]

Is that what happened the first time? [AMUSED.] There are simply people who seem easier to kill and are much more obnoxious.

week 0, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ roxana is sitting on a bench in the flight area. 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?

[nascens]

[BOTH OF THEM JUST RUNNING TO THE ROOFTOP FOR FRESH AIR please not the nine hours of being cooped up. They need sunlight... They must touch grass but there is no grass to touch...

Roxana is so valid, though. At least she's good at keeping her fury from being obvious, unlike Scaramouche, who has not succeeded a day in his life at keeping how annoyed he is hidden.]

About the same level of idiocy, at least. Same progression from fooling around to increasingly frenetic desperation, too. Same self-sacrificial nonsense from people, same last-minute emotional outbursts. [A little, sloping shrug.]

Didn't expect him to be looking at you like he was expecting answers, though.

[disingenuous]

[ why have your 500 years not taught you emotional regulation scaramouche? the prism would have destroyed him.

she lifts a hand in acknowledgment. it was more or less what she was thinking and expecting, too. ]

It was a twist I didn't expect either, for the culprit to be affected that way. He shouldn't have known anything about the Prism.

w1 mon!

[nascens]

[Perusing around through the new locations... it can be the murder museum. He is looking at the pair of clown shoes with disdain.]

Fitting.

[disingenuous]

For you?

[ she's kidding but also not. her tone is only slightly teasing. ]

week 1, sunday

[disingenuous]

[ throws them into the simulation room. scaramouche will have no idea what it is or where it is, but roxana is sitting at a riverside. it's the han river.

she lifts a hand when she notices him. ]

Did you see the new achievements?

[nascens]

[THE HAN RIVER. He may not know what it is but he likes nature so this works... He'll give a little nod of greeting as he makes his way over.]

I did. They seem very passionate about guns.

[Wizard guns...]

w2 mon!

[nascens]

[ROXANA!!!! Whenever she meanders through the butterfly habitat, she will find a person crouched down just off the side of the path. This person is dressed ornately and has long and loose hair because hyv can't stop my ass. Actually, like this, maybe this person looks a little familiar to her?

They're just crouched in front of a flower though, watching as a big butterfly just kind of sits there, opening and closing its wings. They have a piece of banana in one hand, and seem to be waiting patiently for it to travel from the flower to them.]

[disingenuous]

[ maybe a little like an npc she once knew....? maybe..... she won't make the connection right away since she never learned ei was from teyvat, but it's fine.

she won't disturb this interaction yet.... she respects butterflies. she walks towards another planter, takes out her phone, and starts to snap a couple photos. ]

w2 sat!

[nascens]

[WELL. He'll meander in at some point, probably later in the evening, and make his way into the room with the lil jail. What's the state of it all... He's expecting her to be as put-together as ever.]

Was it actually you, or is that something you'll take to the pea side?

[disingenuous]

[ his expectations are met. she is seated on the bed, looking unruffled. ]

Pea side? Were you sent peas? [ she seems faintly amused. ] If none of you are sure, you may stay uncertain.

w4 sat!

[nascens]

[He's at the ranch, just hanging out outside on one of the storage crates, propping his weight up on the heels of his palms and just kind of staring skyward. He'll nod whenever he spots her, though.]

Caught the end of it. Looked like a mess.

[disingenuous]

[ THE RANCH

she'll sit down on a crate, too, a good distance away. ]

They caught one of them, at least. They missed everyone else. Or they pretended to. Are you going to tell anyone what happened?

w5 mon!

[nascens]

[THEY CAN BE AT THE AVIARY. IT'S A CAGE. He's taken his shoes off and is just kind of peering around inside of it, hands on his hips. The vibes are faintly curious with a ceaseless backdrop of ennui that never goes away.]

Strange place.

[mi mems, lmk if you have a list!! i'm also just down for u to throw whatever, i have no cws and i'm good with spoilers!]

[disingenuous]

[ can't believe they're going to be caged like some otome game.

i don't have a list i'm just going to sling one at you eventually. give me i, iv, or viii

roxana settles into one of the large pillows. ]

I could do without the cage, but everything else is fine.

w6 tues!

[nascens]

[HE JUST FUCKED OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PLANE GOT BACK AND WANDERED AWAY TO BE ALONE FOR A WHILE HE HATES PEOPLE SO DAMN BAD

But now he's just chilling in TREES, hanging out with NATURE, touching GRASS. He's just perched on a low branch on one of the trees in a snowy, winter-y forest, though he'll nod when he spots Roxana.]

Find anything tolerable for you yet?

[disingenuous]

[ so valid short king

this is the kind of scenery she's used to being from a northern territory, if her extreme paleness (whiteness) and blond hair don't give it away. she looks up into the tree he's in. ]

This week has a few more tolerable places than usual. [ outside the bad dragon store. ] The cafes aren't nearly as ridiculous.

Feeling better after ysterday?

w7 sat!

[nascens]

[IDK WHERE THEY ARE. VOID.]

That was about as idiotic as I felt it might be.

[disingenuous]

[ me also saying i'm not thinking about locations on the last day in all my starters ]

It could have been much worse. The horse was more agreeable than I thought.
