week 1, thursday

[lecarre]

[The initial swarming Ange stayed away from--she didn't feel like she could really assist very well at all.

But!

She goes to find Sora after, when she thinks he won't be quite so covered in rightfully concerned people.]

Um... Sora? Are you there?

[reconnective]

[on the bright side, sora has squirreled himself away in his room for the time being. on the downside, ange's call seems to go unanswered. it's almost as if he can't hear her...?

but it isn't long before the door opens and it seems like he has all the intention in the world to go somewhere else before he stops and sees her.]

Ange. [he seems surprised...? but he greets her with a smile anyway.] Hey. Everything okay?

[he is the last person who should be asking this given he's still covered in burns, but sure, okay.]

[lecarre]

[Er, yeah. She tilts her head when the door opens suddenly, jumping a little.]

... Sora... [:(] That is what I should be asking you! You are the one who went through so much...!

[reconnective]

[they can be surprised together.]

Well...[he can't really deny it is the thing and he settles for rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.] It wasn't as bad as it could've been, I guess. We made it out okay. [he also says this but he's still not really moving his right arm thanks to the bigger burn on it, so maybe he cannot be trusted here.]

[lecarre]

[....... She will let him have that, but without deigning to believe it.]

I see... well, I am very glad that you made it out.

Um... should you be moving around so much? Do you need anything?

[reconnective]

I think I'm okay for now. I was just...[...well. he wasn't sure where he was going, so he kind of settles for fumbling for an excuse before he steps to the side a bit.] Wanna come in for a bit? Elsa's not here right now.

[he doesn't mind her company at all, and he's more likely to be honest about things in the safety of his own room. pod. thing.]

[lecarre]

[She nods very quickly.]

Yes, of course. If you do not mind, I'd be happy to.

I was hoping to spend some time with you properly.

[reconnective]

I don't mind at all. [come in!! also don't mind the sword that's just propped up against a wall? surely that's fine.] We're friends, right? I'm always happy to spend time with you whenever you want.

[even if he's half-dead right now.]

[lecarre]

[... sometimes you need a sword?? She does stare at it for a moment, before she looks back at him with her lips pursed.]

... Sora... yes of course we are friends. And I am very grateful to hear that, truly, it's just...!

Right now, I am worried about you. You look terrible... what happened to you?

week 2, saturday

[lecarre]

[Hey Sora. It's quiet, and Ange only quietly comes up to sit next to him, settling herself next to him at the docks--not too close, but close enough.

She dangles her legs over the edge and just feels absolutely exhausted.

She'll just stay quiet for the moment, though!]

[reconnective]

[they can hang out quietly because even when she settles, it's a brief flicker of worry but also...calm? ange is always nice company and he gives her a light smile despite the part where he doesn't look away from the water.

after a moment though, he chooses to speak.]

...doing okay? Things got kind of intense back there.

[lecarre]

... Yes. Miss Dorothy is all right... so I am too.

[But it was awfully close.

A deep breath.]

What about you, Sora?

[reconnective]

[it was way too close for comfort, really.]

I'm okay. We...solved one of them, at least. We did better than last week. So we should be happy, right?

[lecarre]

... I don't know if there is a "should" or "should not" in cases like this.

I am just grateful we did not let another innocent person die.

[reconnective]

...me too. I wish we didn't have to lose two people this week, but if we can get justice for one of them then...I guess it's better than losing someone unrelated.

That's the problem with something like this, huh? We can't even trust all of our evidence anymore.

[lecarre]

... I know. That is so frightening to think about, isn't it? That if we choose to sleep somewhere for curfew...we might be implicated if something happens.

[WAS IT NOT BAD ENOUGH TO JUST FEAR DEATH]

[reconnective]

Only if it's on the other side of the bridge at least, but...even last week everybody got hurt for sleeping outside in the plaza. If we're out there and defenseless, we don't know what could happen.

[this sucks!] We just have to really watch out for everybody now. It's the only way.

w6 sunday

[reconnective]

[...admittedly, it takes him a little while to come to terms with what he just witnessed, but after some time he goes to seek out ange, looking high and low throughout the town. "high" seems to be relevant though, and he spots her up on a roof from his place below.

it doesn't take too terribly long for him to climb up there still in his beachwear and with sand falling out of his hair, but as he approaches he keeps his hands in his pockets.]

...mind some company?

[lecarre]

[Sup, Sora. Ange glances at him, and then shakes her head.]

I don't.

What is it?

[reconnective]

[he has a sit.]

Mostly wanted to see how you were. [a beat.] ...even with the order to do what needed to be done, that doesn't really make things better.

[lecarre]

I'm fine.

[That's said... maybe a little too fast.

Ange clears her throat.]

On the Black Lizard planet where I am from, executions such as that are commonplace. They don't impact me any longer.

[ty she's lying she's a fucking liar and she is always lying]

[reconnective]

[the worst is that he would believe this almost immediately except. hm. so there's like a half-second he goes "planet???" before he brushes it off.]

Ange. [flatly.] First of all, you don't look anything like a lizard. And second of all...even if people are used to these kinds of things I don't think any of us are no longer affected.

[lecarre]

[.........

She just closes her eye.]

This is what Dorothy wanted.

[reconnective]

...is that what she said? [he just kind of sounds sad, but...well. fair.]

[lecarre]

We discussed it.

[He can infer from there.]

... Sora, we were not good people. Dorothy did kill someone, and a murder is a murder. This was always a possibility.
