W0 - Sunday

[applechemist]

[ Buns!! I was tempted to just leave the starter at that. Anyway, Escha has wandered into the waiting room in her exploration. She hovers by he doorway for a moment, just observing Magnus and. Processing that there are bunnies in here? Alright. Okay, cool.

Then she comes over to crouch down and try to pet one of them, and gives Magnus a smile. ]

They're so cute.

[ruffboi]

Hey!

[Grinning at her from where he's rubbing one of the bunnies against his beard.]

They are, huh? Escha, right?

[applechemist]

[ Ehehehehe bunnies are so soft. She kind of wants to rub one against her face, too... But she'll hold back when there's a Witness. Even if that Witness is already doing it. ]

That's right. And you're Taako's friend, Magnus!

w1; tuesday

[ruffboi]

[So, sometime in the evening, if he happens to run into Escha out and about, he'll try to start a conversation.]

Hey!

[applechemist]

[ This is how most of Escha's conversations start. She's like an NPC standing around town, waiting for someone to talk to her. ]

Hi, Magnus.

[ruffboi]

[Waits for Escha to give some flavor text. 'It hasn't been the same around here lately . . . Does it have something to do with that pink snake?'

But she doesn't so he continues the chat.]

How're you feeling? Today was pretty rough.

w1; friday

[applechemist]

[ Sometime after everyone has dispersed, Escha can be found sitting outside, pretty close to the ram cabin. Just. Sitting out here, I guess. She has a stick and there are some lines in the dirt in front of her like she started to draw, but stopped. It isn't a coherent picture or words or anything.

And after a moment, she notices Magnus approaching, and waves. ]

... Getting it wrong feels awful.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

[He's looking for her, coming up nearby and crouching down next to her to see what she's drawing.]

Did you guys ever fuck up? We got it wrong a few times when there were multiple killers, but. . .

[applechemist]

We didn't get it right when I was on trial.

At least this time I was able to speak my mind, but... It still feels bad to be a suspect. When we don't have enough evidence to clear things up...

w2, wednesday

[ruffboi]

[Coming to find Escha sometime on Wednesday! Bringing her a finished carving of her lil Mini-Slag friend.]

[applechemist]

[ !!! Oh my goshhh ]

It's so cute!

W2 saturday

[applechemist]

[ Hi, Magnus. Escha is coming over to stand beside him by the lake! ]

Did you hear that the lake monster has a name, now? It's Noodle.

[ ... Despite the fun trivia, she definitely sounds. Distraught about what just happened. ]

[ruffboi]

Hah. Hey, Noodle.

[Smiling a little, looking down into the lake, but his knuckles are kind of busted from punching something.]

w3; friday

[ruffboi]

[Sometime after waking up, shaking his hips over in Escha's direction!. Hmm.]

[applechemist]

[ why is that so ominous

but she's here. shaking her own hips. i hate this. ]

... Hey, Magnus.

w3; saturday

[ruffboi]

[After trial, NHS has gotten him all riled up. Walking Evan out towards the lake in the snow.]

[applechemist]

[ Escha spots him from a short ways away and jogs over to walk with him - holding a transparent umbrella over them to keep off some of the snow.

Hm. With the height difference, that's actually kind of difficult. ]

w4, Friday

[applechemist]

[ Hey, Magnus. ]

Did something happen with Beau?

[ruffboi]

With Beau. . . ?

[He actually doesn't know what she means.]

week 4; saturday

[ruffboi]

[Phew. Sitting by the bonfire, petting Evan after trial. Having a drink. When he sees Escha, he'll - he won't smile, actually. He just nods.]

[applechemist]

[ Escha just comes over and hugs him, if he'll let her? ]

w5, tuesday

[ruffboi]

[Tuesday evening, Magnus will wave at Escha. He's moving pretty stiffly, so it's not too easy to wave.]

Hey. How you doing?

[applechemist]

[ You know, it's hard to get too down when everyone is so beat the fuck up. ]

I'm... Better than some.

[ Most? She's not sure. ]

What about you? It seems like you went through a lot.

w6; saturday

[ruffboi]

[God, he's tired. What a thing just happened. How you doin', Escha?

He's going back to the entertainment cabin, but maybe they'll run into each other along the way.]

Enjoy the party?

[applechemist]

[ She's exhausted but also just - jittery and restless. Hard to calm down after all that. So she's just been pacing around camp grounds... ]

It couldn't compete with Thursday's party.
