Weekend 0, Saturday

[sootprints]

[ looking at one of the coffee shops. ]

... Why are there two of these?

[teenrebellion]

One for each area? That's pretty normal for airports, they're usually huge.

[sootprints]

I didn't know coffee was quite so common...

[teenrebellion]

Really? Coffee's everywhere back home, and people love it when they've got long flights and transfers and stuff. The caffeine helps you power through the jetlag, or something.

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 look at kazuki. ]

... Was it different for you? Before, I mean...

[ considering... the way he immediately tried to get the hell out of there. ]

[teenrebellion]

...A little. Erasures still happened, but we didn't have to be there for it if we didn't want to.

But it sounds like that isn't the norm around here.

[sootprints]

I see... Did you prefer not to attend?

Week 1, Monday

[sootprints]

[ at the murder museum... looking over the bizarre displays. she stops to look at a clown standee that looks like it's been taped back together after being cut in half. ]

... What is all of this?

[teenrebellion]

It's supposed to be like a history museum, right? But... kind of a weird one.

...Why are there always clowns.

[sootprints]

... Always?

w1 thursday

[teenrebellion]

[ where is the girl... ]

Kate. How're you feeling?

[sootprints]

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

it's hard to tell if she's awake or not, since you can't see her eyes... but she turns her head at the sound of his voice. ]

Better. A little bit.

[teenrebellion]

[ at least she's cozy. ]

Wish we could do more than just "a little bit." [ ... ] What about your memories?

w2 monday

[teenrebellion]

[ at the sportzzone! with some snacks! he's watching the olympics with fascination. ]

I didn't see much of the other teams...

[sootprints]

[ she's popped in to take a look around, and comes over to look at the screen. ]

Ah...

Could this be... what you mentioned before?

[teenrebellion]

This sure is it, yeah. And for the record, this definitely isn't what the real Olympics are like.

[ there is a basketball court in the middle of a racetrack. ]

Week 4, Monday

[sootprints]

[ at the second floor of the egg lover's paradise. ]

...

[ soot rises from her head as the egg mascot proudly lectures about the nutritional value of eggs. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ he's just looking around but pauses when he sees her sooting. ]

Not a fan of eggs, I take it.

[sootprints]

... He's coming on a little too strongly for comfort. About the eggs.

[ why is this mascot so big and loud. about eggs. ]

Week 5, Monday

[sootprints]

Oh, Kazuki, are you all right? I'm not sure what happened out there, but it must have taken you by surprise...

[ since he got drenched in soap and glitter and whatever else earlier... did he get a chance to clean up since then...

kate's still a bit confused after happening on that scene but it's probably fine. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ he did clean up! no more vegetables or soap, but you know how glitter clings. he's still a little sparkly. ]

Yeah, I don't know what I expected when I saw those items sold out, but corn at the car wash was not it.

[sootprints]

Yes... I was sure that the shop item was supposed to revive any "one" person from death...

And there was only one in the shop, wasn't there?

Week 6, Saturday

[sootprints]

[ after trial, kate can be found sitting in a chair in one of the terminal hallways, taking slow, shaky breaths to steady herself. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ well he will just limp on over to sink into a chair beside her quietly. ]

You gonna be alright? It was a lot, right?

[ he's a little shaken, too. ]

[sootprints]

... Yes. I just need a moment.

I didn't expect him to... and Yoru...

Even though it happened all the time before. I'm still not used to it...
