[ Vira is just carrying like, towels and soap from the rooms, because this place is a hellscape and doesn't have cleaning supplies of its own. While she walks, there seems to be a gentle chiming from somewhere. She turns her head to look at the source of the noise—
And runs into Sheila, or at least bounces off of her. ]
[It's fine. They can both be guilty of walking crimes because Sheila was looking at her phone while moving. It falls out of her hands and slides across the floor. Goodbye, phone. She won't eat shit herself, but will absolutely cringe if Vira does.]
[ Goodbye, phone! Vira doesn't land on her face, but she does take a bit of a tumble and land on her butt. Very graceful. She grimaces for a moment, looking up at Sheila. ]
Oh, I'm sorry—I was careless. [ There's another chiming noise. ]
[ vira isn't really going to the kitchen, but she does pass by inevitably eventually. her steps slow when she sees who it is—they hadn't really spoken much once they'd gotten back, besides attacking a stationary pod together, but. she finds herself wanting to see how they're holding up. ]
[ she offers her a sympathetic, but short-lived smile. ]
I'm getting by, I think. [ rather than serious, she sounds a little drained. it's fine. at least around these other three, she doesn't have to hide anything. ] ...Have you been locked out?
[ so they're in the void until it's convenient for them to be somewhere else. vira looks tired, but not in a terrible mood—hers is a strange mix of sins this week. she yawns, looking a little annoyed at herself about it. ]
[There, there, Vira. Wherever they are, it's likely somewhere they can get nice and comfy while gushing over the other ladies. "What about the men?" No.]
Shi? Total sweetheart! I don't care for drinking at all, but when I drink with her? It's not about the alcohol. That's not why I'm there. It's about the Shi Qingxuan experience. I highly recommend it.
Not great! But I can at least definitely say Wrath was talking about this place, and not a person. The avatars apparently can't talk about it unless we find the info ourselves and bring it to them, though. So that's a thing.
[ time for beach ep! vira is just out chilling by the water, wearing a white sundress that suits the beach better. it's pretty nice here, honestly, though thanks to the sand and the crash of the waves she hasn't noticed sheila yet. ]
[ sheila's emotions are so... vibrant? so honest to how she's already treated them all so far. vira feels the expected surprise as she turns to look over at her, and after that is a sort of pleasant contentedness at seeing sheila.
but it's pretty quickly buried under something cautious, guilty. she keeps her voice light, though. ]
It is. First a spa, then a beach? I'd almost say we're being spoiled. [ her emotions are saying something more like actually this place is the worst, but you know. ]
[ She's got a small basket hanging off one arm as she passes by, only really catching sight of Sheila by chance because she lives towards the end of the sleeping bay. Because... she's not really anticipating anyone in the laundry room today.

Ah, excuse me... I'm terribly absent-minded today.
[ it's not that she's bored of sheila's company, she's just got sleepy bitch disease this week. ]
Now, who were we on— [ scrolling through profiles on her phone ] Shi Qingxuan? Do you have an impression of her?
no subject
Shi? Total sweetheart! I don't care for drinking at all, but when I drink with her? It's not about the alcohol. That's not why I'm there. It's about the Shi Qingxuan experience. I highly recommend it.
