W0 - Post Trial

[applechemist]

[ Escha wanders into the kitchen to stress bake, only to find that Taako is... Already stress baking.

But she knows how he is, so even with a shared hobby, she doesn't want to try and push her way in and make it a joint effort, so she just finds a section of counter that he isn't using and hops up to sit on it. ]

I should have expected you to be in here.

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako pauses in grating butter to laugh a bit, though, it's not particularly like. Relaxed.]

Am I that predictable by now?

[applechemist]

Only because we have limited options.

[ She's sure she wouldn't know where to expect him if there were more than like ten places to be. ]

W1 - Post Trial

[applechemist]

[ A good hour and a half or so after the announcement, Escha is just. Laying on her bed in the cabin, staring up at the bottom of the top bunk above her. Today was bad.

But she still pulls herself to sit up when Taako comes in. ]

Hey.

[chaoticlootral]

[She'll get a scone shoved at her. Eat something, binch.]

Hey.

[applechemist]

... Thank you.

[ She takes it gratefully, but isn't sure what to say so. She just sits here munching... ]

Week 2, Monday

[applechemist]

[ Hi, wherever Taako is sometime when he is alone, Escha is approaching...! ]

Hello.

[ You're welcome for the amazing starter. ]

[chaoticlootral]

[I made one for siz this morning that was literally just the word "sup" so you've already got two letters on me.

Taako is busying himself in the kitchen, mixin up ingredients. Other stuff. Whatever you do for cooking.]

. . . Hey. How's it going?

[applechemist]

[ Nice, nice, nice. She comes to peeeer over his shoulder. ]

Good. What are you making?

Week 2, Saturday

[applechemist]

[ Escha is just. Flopping down face-first onto her bed. ]

Is it going to be like this every week?

[chaoticlootral]

[Placing a slice of lemon tart directly on her head?]

Honestly? Probably.

[applechemist]

[ She reaches up to grab the tart. And pulls it in front of her, lifting up just enough to eat it without getting up. Amazing. ]

At least sound a little unsure.

WEEK 3 - FRIDAY

[chaoticlootral]

[HEY ESCHA . . . dancin' on up. His hips continue to emulate Shakira. Every time I type this, a part of my souls fades away into death.]

Hey-- You alright?

[applechemist]

[ Escha is trying to keep her hip movements to a minimum, but it is. Not working out. Regretti. ]

I'm - fine. A little tired.

[ this is actually a lot of exercise??? ]

... I can't believe it was so many people.

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah, no kidding, this is frigging exhausting?

[Rolllllll to the right. Roooooooll to the left.]

The dancing and the murders.

Week 3 - Saturday

[applechemist]

[ Welp. They have the cabin to themselves now I guess!!!!! No more worrying about people walking in on secret conversations? ]

... Getting it right doesn't feel that much better than getting it wrong. I know that it's better, but...

[chaoticlootral]

[A bit of a laugh, but it's very dry.]

I-- yeah. I mean, even the joy of getting to change bunks is totally robbed. What the fuck!

WEEK 3 - SUN POST-EXECUTION

[chaoticlootral]

[Heeeeeeeey. Well, Taako's in the cabin for at least the rest of the day, and there's not many other people in here anymore. What up.]

[applechemist]

[ This time it's Escha's turn to bring him food! I'm too lazy to think of what it is but it has apples in it. Naturally. ]

How's your leg?

WEEK 4 - FRIDAY

[chaoticlootral]

[Hey cabin pal. Taako’s here, curled up on his bunk with a bottle of wine. Or. Whine. Whichever.]

This one sucks.

[applechemist]

I'd rather have verbal curfew effects than physical ones...

[ well, she has no curfew effects though because Guess Who Forgot To Submit A Curfew ]

... Sorry again for picking on you.

WEEK 4 - POST-TRIAL

[chaoticlootral]

[He’s holed up in the cabin by this point, curled on his side in his bed— but he’ll roll over if Escha comes in.]

Jeez. You’re the lynchpin in everyone plans, huh? Guess you’re the most trustworthy person in this place.

[applechemist]

[ She comes over to the bed! is he on the top bunk or bottom? ]

I wouldn't say that. I just happen to have something useful to them, that's all.

WEEK 6 - POST WHATEVER THAT WAS

[chaoticlootral]

Was that. Real?

[applechemist]

I have no idea, at this point.
