Week 2, post-trial

[aono]

[Rin is around the city! He's actually at the gardens right now, getting a few vegetables so he can make a meal. It's easy to pull him away from the work though, as he's just looking for something to do.]

[uncoincidental]

[she is here to try and find some peace and quiet!


well, no, she's here to be alone. because she doesn't want anyone to see her yell in frustration and kick a rock.]

Ugh, what are we going to do about the other two...?!

[aura, in jupiter djinni form, spots rin first and flies up to press herself against her mouth and quiet sheba, whose eyes widen.]

...oh. Um.

[aono]

[He definitely heard that other part, but he can guess that it's about the other two killers, and it's probably just her venting frustrations. So he smiles and holds up a hand in a wave.]

Hey! Didn't see you walk in. What's up?

[Yep, he's acting like he didn't hear a thing.]

[uncoincidental]

[


rin just shot up several places on her list. she smiles and waves back.]

...I wanted some fresh air after all of that! It was a lot. [looking... at the vegetables...] What are you up to?

Week 3, Tuesday

[aono]

[Rin is being a doof and climbing around on the skull near the oasis. He's trying to get to a vantage point to see what's further away, but he can't climb very far up before his arms get too tired. Man, he misses his super-strength!

But while he's hanging out on a lower ledge of the skull, about ten feet up, he sees Sheba nearby. Hmm...what is she up to? Rin decides to go say hi to her.

By jumping down from his perch wordlessly and landing right next to her.]

Hey! What's up?

1/2

[uncoincidental]

[hELLO.

this is, like, the kind of thing that would happen right before a random encounter in a dungeon or on the overworld? which is to say - sheba, whose reflexes are honed from a whole game's worth of surviving random battles, immediately moves, leaping back a few steps, crouching down slightly, and readying her staff. her expression is serious.]

2/2

[uncoincidental]

[and then she recognizes him and relaxes immediately. straightens up and shifts her staff back so she's not holding it for combat, then smiles a little sheepishly.]

Oh, Rin! You startled me...

[aono]

[ooooo those moves. Rin looks impressed by them!]

You were totally ready to fight me, weren't you?

[uncoincidental]

...hee hee! Maybe just a little?

w3, saturday

[uncoincidental]

[sheba is coming to see rin in jail because of course she is.

anyway! hello. she doesn't seem to know what to say, but -]

...I'm sorry. I wasn't able to find out what happened with Rex and Susato...

[she really wanted to find someone to vote for other than him :/ ]

[aono]

It's alright. We tried.

[He's been saying it so much tonight. Maybe he's saying it so he can believe it too.]

It's not your burden to carry, you know? It's not your fault.

[uncoincidental]

...but the thing I tried to use didn't even help.

[arguably, it might have made things worse.]

I just... I wish there was some way to help you now, Rin.

[tomorrow is going to be bad.]

[aono]

Help me by helping Yukio, yeah? I wasn't kidding when I said we're all the other has left. Our Mom died when we were born, and our Dad died last spring. We don't got grandparents or uncles or aunts either, so he's gonna be really lonely. Don't let him get lost in it.

w3, sunday

[uncoincidental]

[well this is



not the okumura twin sheba thought she would be talking to today. but. she's here anyway, having bullied her way into house 1 somehow (we're not going to think too hard about that), peeking in to check on him.]

Rin...?

[aono]

[Honestly he would have let her in anyway, so.

Rin is wrapped up in a blanket and he has tea and soup in front of him! House 1 is doing a good job of keeping him hydrated, yep. He'll look up to Sheba and nod in a greeting.

Hey girl, what's up?]

[uncoincidental]

[mm. awkward.

she seems to be trying to find her words for a few moments, but then gives up and just asks plainly - ]

...has anyone seen to your injuries from... that...?

[aono]

....injuries? Is that why I keep tasting blood in my mouth?

[He.

Completely forgot he got punched so many times whoops.]

w4, wednesday

[uncoincidental]

[hello, rin! it's wednesday. sheba, who did not sleep at all in the 24 hours the ghosts were around, looks tired; she's sipping an iced caffeinated beverage as she wanders around.

when she spots him, she waves.]

Hey... did you have fun yesterday?

[aono]

[Rin also did not sleep those 24 hours, and he looks like he could use a nap. But he's up and wandering around instead, because there's things to do.

But he sees Sheba and he'll stop to talk to her.]

Yeah, it was pretty fun.

...where'd you get that drink?

[He needs caffeine too.]

[uncoincidental]

[she gestures at one of the npc shops!]

It's pretty good... want to try it?

[offers it to him!]

[aono]

[he'll try it sure. Is it a frappuchino or is it a soda?]

Week 7, Friday

[aono]

[Sheba is. Absolutely getting tackled if Rin can catch her. Because wow he missed her a lot.]

SHEBA!

[uncoincidental]

Rin!!

[well



she was absolutely running at him to tackle him too so

they've probably both been knocked over and are hugging on the ground]

[aono]

[Honestly? This is fine. Sheba is someone he's been missing a lot, and he'll scoop her right up and laugh as they fall down with the hug. He's only got minor injuries so there's a light 'ow!' followed by laughter.]

Long time no see!

[uncoincidental]

[she is a very chilly ghostie! i keep forgetting they're all extremely cold to the touch, but it's fine.

she gives a little "oof" as they hit the ground, but giggles.]

I missed you...!
