Weekend 0, Saturday

[sootprints]

[ in the xpress stuff 2 go, looking at the ASS clothing merch. kate's own dress is looking... pretty sooty. she's wearing a helmet. ]

These are all the clothes they have...?

[ despair. ]

[agleam]

Um... Maybe you could ask one of the hosts for something different?

[sympathetically.]

Week 0, Friday

[sootprints]

[ it's easy to find kate on a day like this; the little smoke plume coming from her head can be seen from across the building.

she's at the flight deck early in the day, watching the plane take off while smoke rises from her head. or, if rupert's not quite that early, she'll probably linger for some time, looking out into the distance. ]

[agleam]

[he is that early! and he frowns as he watches it go.]

Do you think that was...?

Week 0, Sunday

[sootprints]

[ after execution, kate is headed towards the relaxation area. as always, it can be hard to tell what she's feeling, but she does turn her head to acknowledge rupert. ]

... Was it like that for you, too? Before, that is.

[ in the other game. or one of the others, in his case. ]

[agleam]

[he shakes his head.]

No. In the school they were... strange, but strange in a different way. I wonder if this is what they were like where Roxana is from, though.

Week 1, Tuesday

[sootprints]

[ kate can be found in scawwy!

she's by the pyre in the village, looking at the posters on the noticeboard. ]

[agleam]

[glances at them as he heads her way!]

Friends of yours?

w1 thursday

[agleam]

[not the baby

he's looking around for her after a little while!! is she in the first aid room...]

[sootprints]

[ she's on a bed in the first aid centre! it looks like she's changed into something loose and cozy and is resting there now.

it's hard to tell if she's awake or not, since you can't see her eyes. ]

w2 monday

[agleam]

[in cloudtopia after taking the plane into homophonic!! kind of looking around at everything like o: personified.]

This is so cool...

[sootprints]

[ kate's just staring outward... but it's probably hard to tell what her expression is, so she turns to rupert and nods eagerly. ]

Like something from a storybook.

Week 3, Monday

[sootprints]

[ hi rupert, you can find kate in the escape room. the two of them run into each other in one of the dark halls of the mummy's tomb, and... woosh! a mysterious wind comes in, bringing a memory with it.

(quick notes about the translation! "emilyko" should be "emilico," and if you noticed the shadows speaking in third person... that is indeed a thing they do, and your character can notice that it's kinda weird!) ]

[agleam]

[memshare week once again... he's not that surprised by it on principle, but the memory does make him pause. after a long moment:]

...What does discarded mean?

Week 3, Friday

[sootprints]

[ kate can be seen wandering the terminals, her clothes sooty, but at least she seems somewhat calm and composed...

but when she sees rupert, she lifts her chin and goes over to join him. ]

Ah, Rupert...

[ considering the state he returned in yesterday, and the fact that someone he knew from before is gone, she decides to put her own thoughts aside for the moment. ]

... Your wounds are still recent, right? Do you need anything...

[agleam]

Ah... No, I'll be okay.

[they do look a little better today as he makes his way out of the clinic. they're definitely still present, but he can walk without looking like he's about to pass out. progress!!!]

Thank you, though. Are you alright...?

w4 monday

[agleam]

[in the casino... he glances around]

Have you seen anything like this before?

[sootprints]

[ she shakes her head. ]

It's all very flashy.

Week 4, Sunday

[sootprints]

[ looking for rupert after execution!!! did he go to first aid. is he still bleeding. ]

[agleam]

[while i wait for results he is currently in first aid and getting ready to use the defibrillator, hello.]

...Hi.

Week 5, Monday

[sootprints]

[ sometime after our deadmeows emerged, kate can be found at the grand library!

she's looking over the shelves with feelings of awe and joy that are clearly tangible and currently outshining the background noise of anxiety she otherwise feels. ]

There's so much... If only we had a place like this sooner.

[agleam]

[his vibes are similarly happy, since he is a nerd. as he glances over at her, some fondness mingles into that.]

Makes it hard to know where to start, huh? Found anything good yet?

w6 monday

[agleam]

[exploring... let's say they're around the hoverboard track, but more importantly, when he catches sight of her:]

...How are you holding up after yesterday?

[sootprints]

Yesterday was... difficult. But I'm okay.

Week 6, Sunday

[sootprints]

[ kate can be found pacing sootily in the halls while someone else is presumably visiting maya in the first aid centre. ]

[agleam]

[watching her pace]

...I know it's scary no matter what, but she'll be alright.

Week 7, Monday

[sootprints]

[ hanging around where we can see the actual outdoors... yay. ]

It's such a relief to see everyone back, isn't it?

[agleam]

[giving a nod]

Yeah. There were a few people I'd really missed... How about you?
