Weekend 0, Saturday

[sootprints]

[ After we've gotten our clothes and items back, Kate can be found by the stream, changed into her regular clothes.

There's a white robe hanging from a nearby tree branch, apparently drying after being washed. While she waits, Kate sits on a rock by the stream and peers into the water. From behind, she probably looks like an ordinary girl. ]

It would be much easier if there weren't leeches in here, too...

[ and she's talking to herself. ]

[halved]

[she totally looks like an ordinary girl and asa ain't noticing shit, coming up from behind.]

Ah... You managed to wash your robes?

[sootprints]

[ a little hesitant at meeting someone new, but she nods. ]

Yes. At least now, I have the option of changing between two sets of clothes. I would certainly prefer more, though...

week zero, friday.

[halved]

[hi. asa is currently staring at the two posters on bulletin board, lowkey disassociating. happy friday!]

[sootprints]

[ hi. coming up beside her.

there is smoke pouring out of the top of kate's head as she faces the posters. ]

... Have you seen any sign of them?

[halved]

... We found a man we didn't recognize. He was in the church, inside the baptism pool.

[so. probably death.]

week one, monday.

[halved]

[happy monday! asa steps into the funky fashionista, takes in all the clothes, and heaves a sigh of relief.]

Finally.

[sootprints]

[ kate, who is normally pretty deadpan... enters the shop and collapses to the floor dramatically, like she's just reached an oasis in the desert. ]

Finally.

[halved]

[HELP... KATE... asa starts giggling, just a little. giddy with the euphoria of new clothes.]

It's such a relief, right?

week two, monday.

[halved]

[imagine being powerful enough to write a proper starter during memshare week. i was also going to put this down for tuesday but then i glanced at the mingly.................... ok.

anyway— shadows immediately seize them and pull them into darkness, where they will experience a memory. enjoy!]

[sootprints]

[ wow.

wow!

wowie! ]

Y, you were... possessed?

Week 2, Sunday

[sootprints]

[ hello asa! wow what a week it's been! it sure would be terrible if we ended up in a memory void immediately after all of this -- oh no.

they will see a memory! also if it looks like kate is speaking in the third person here... yes, she is. that is a thing she's doing and your character can find it weird. ]

[halved]

[there is so much drama happening here... but she has zero context to explain why the kids are talking like that, so it is very much like, wow. this is kind of coo-- wait why are you talking like that. huh.

she tilts her head, looking at kate curiously after the memory ends.]

Why were you talking like that...? You and that John kid?

Week 3, Monday

[sootprints]

[ happy monday!! kate is in yet another new dress (how many does she have?? lots.) and checking out the new academy.

also, she is shining. literally, somehow, shimmering, the light catching on her shadowy self as if it were polished onyx.

while exploring, she enters the room asa is in, and... bends over, hand over her chest, catching her breath. evidently, she's been running all around the corridors and up and down stairs. she takes a deep breath and lifts her head. ]

Isn't this place incredible? I've never seen so many books in my life!

[halved]

[HELP. KATE. that dress is so cute.]

It is, isn't it? [she is also excited, too. though not to the same levels as kate.] Are you okay? You're totally out of breath.

week four, monday.

[halved]

[we're at (throws dart) the boardwalk! asa is squinting at the horizon, watching as a giant ass shadow ripples just below the water's surface.]

... What the hell?

[sootprints]

Ah...

What was that? A monster?

Week 4, Wednesday

[sootprints]

[ some time later in the day, kate is sitting by the pyre! still wearing the dress and hat from the minievent.

she's quietly fretting over something, and thoughts of I don't know what to say... can be faintly made out. ]

[halved]

[very funny that kate should think that, considering that asa looks at her and thinks:

Should I say something...?]

Week 5, Wednesday

[sootprints]

[ some time after the minievent, or maybe even during but like, when it's time for a break, kate is sitting out by the waterfall at the grotto. she's still in her dress and flower crown, but she's removed her shoes to give her little feet a break. ]

It's nice to get a little fresh air.

[ is it fresh air? in here? probably not, but it is a refreshing little spot away from the crowd. ]

[halved]

[that fit is so cute... asa is still wearing her dress, though she's taken off her heels, holding them in her hand because her poor feet are about to die after all that dancing.

there is definitely no fresh air down here, but she will not point that out.]

Are you taking a break, Kate?

week five, friday.

[halved]

[h... hello?? she's rushing up to the veil as soon as she notices it, dread and surprise both coming through. and then, once she gets close enough to see who's inside, it's a sudden burst of shock and grief and horror all at once.]

Kate...?

[sootprints]

[ she's just sitting here in her bubble.

in tattered rags stained in red and black. horns out. wings neatly folded behind her. but otherwise, serene. she glances over. ]

Hello, Asa.

Week 6, Wednesday

[sootprints]

[ at some point, when they're away from the party crowd, this little faceless penguin approaches asa. ]

It's good to see you, Asa.

[halved]

Kate... It's really good to see you again.

[she is still so shocked, but slowly morphing into the embodiment of the 🥺 emoji over dead friends.]

Are you okay?
