w0 - saturday

[chevaleros]

[ Well, she's over by the... gym, because despite the dress and relative petiteness, Vira is still a jock. She doesn't look especially excited by the various equipment, mostly because she doesn't recognize it. ]

I don't suppose there are training weapons...?

[ She could learn to get swole using the weights and stuff, but it's still worth asking. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Medb works out when no one's watching. She has to craft a certain image, you know, but she's here because... well, if she's asked, she'll give a reason. ]

You could pick up boxing.

[ The gloves are as close to weapons as it gets right now. ]

Or you can take the weights off of the bar and use that.

[ Surprisingly helpful answers? Wow. ]

[chevaleros]

[ Vira of all people isn't going to judge a small girl by her cover. She laughs a little at the suggestions, apparently endeared by them. ]

Oh, so I could. Though I don't think anyone would like to risk getting hit by a metal pole.

w0 - friday

[chevaleros]

FROM: lord-commander
Hello, Medb. I was curious if you've received any strange messages as of late.

[ y'know, besides this one. ]

[fergalicious]

FROM: connaughty
What kind of strange? Do you mean the one about Tamaki?

[chevaleros]

Yes, that one. But also with regards to some sort of 'congratulations.'

[ she's not sure what exactly they've been rewarded for, but the strange task they had this week does stand out. ]

w0 - saturday again

[fergalicious]

[ Brooding in the planetarium isn't going to help, you know>

If Vira is sitting, Medb will sit down right next to her. If she's standing, Medb will just come up to her side. ]

How disappointed are you?

[chevaleros]

[ she's sitting, and yes, brooding a bit. she doesn't look wrought or deeply upset, but... she does narrow her eyes. ]

I'm disappointed that we've been made fools of. And that I didn't catch whatever it is that threatens us.

[fergalicious]

[ MY QUESTION MARK

She nods. ]

It'd be nice to confirm who the culprit is. Whatever "justice" awaits, if it's not up to anyone's standards, at least then, we could go from there.

w1 - wednesday

[fergalicious]

FROM: connaughty
Meet me in the tea room?

[ Tea Time when you're not playing a feetblem. ]

[chevaleros]

[ tea time is all the time. ]

All right. I'll head over shortly.

[ and true to her word, vira will not take long to get to the tea room, because she has manners. ]

w1 - thursday

[fergalicious]

[ Medb is going to wait until Vira's treated and clean. Hopefully, Vira is going to be out and about somewhere after she's cleaned herself up. If she isn't, then.... I'll change this!

Anyway, Medb approaches. ]

Vira, what happened? Should I ask if you're okay?

[ Because well, appearing in the kitchen covered in blood and viscera kind of indicates something one way or another. ]

[chevaleros]

[ no worries, she is in fact clean and patched up. she's chilling in one of the medbay beds, one of her arms in a splint. ]

Ah, Medb. [ ... ] No, I'm fine. Just sorry so many people will see me in such a state.

w1 - saturday

[chevaleros]

[ vira is going to be in her room for a bit, writing in a notebook whenever medb swings by. ]

Ah—you had mentioned you wanted to talk later, yes? [ not that today went great or anything. ] Come in and make yourself comfortable, please.

[fergalicious]

[ She is going to sit near Vira wherever she has herself situated. ]

It was going to be about one thing, but it's about something else now. Are you feeling disappointed?

[ She imagines everyone but the murderers are. ]

w1 - monday? 1/2

[fergalicious]

[ Whatever day you want honestly.

Medb is walking back from the biome garden to her room, a bouquet of flowers in her hands. Whenever and wherever she crosses paths with Vira, she smiles cheerfully. ]

Hey, Vira!

[ Flowers really do seem to make her mood her pick up a little. ]

Have you been to the ga—

[ But it's at that moment they're too close or have made too much eye contact. ]

PRETEND THAT SAYS W2 ABOVE time is fake

[fergalicious]

[ (from 5:01:33 - 5:03:49)

You are dying, wounded and injured beyond anything you'd normally allow to happen to you.

The Holy Grail could heal you if you wished for it, but you've already made your wish, haven't you? Once, twice, you've made a wish.

(—Very well, this is my wish: To make Cú Chulainn king. A wicked king, enough to rival even me.)

And he did turn out to be a wicked king equal to even you, didn't he? This man you hated, this man you couldn't forgive, this man you wanted to have more than anything else—

Is he everything you wanted? Is someone who is the least kingly king in the world who you wanted? Is someone who sealed away their joy once they became king someone you wanted?

You think, you love Cú Chulainn. You love him so much. You wanted him so much you made a wish for him. You love him you love him you love him—

But is it love? You're happy he praised you finally. After all this time, he finally praised you. He acknowledged you as someone by his side. He acknowledged you as queen, and you are happy.

Is this love? Do you know what love is?

All you know is in your final moments is that you wanted someone who could be by your side. Someone worthy to be by your side. Someone who wants to be by your side.

Someone who could love you for who you are, for everything that you are.

And you don't know if you've ever had that. For all the lovers you've ever had, have you ever had that? Have you ever been truly loved? Have you ever loved?

Isn't it funny? How much you don't know if you know love once you think about it.

Isn't it funny? That you're using something you once created to go after the man next to you in order to aid him? Isn't it? Isn't it funny?

(Even now, you know he isn't yours, but you're dying, so it's okay to say so, isn't it?)

Those that oppose you think so little of your ambitions, of how strong your desires are, of what made you queen.

This is your legend.

You'd go to any lengths just for you want, and even as you die, you say that you've been saved, but have you?

You're angry, humiliated, and vexed, but helping someone you (think you) love—

Is this what you wanted?

Your final wish on the grail could destroy everything in this era, if it succeeds. ]

No—

[ Medb sucks in a quick breath and watches Vira very carefully. ]

w2 - tuesday

[chevaleros]

[ The long stretch of window makes the airport terminal more picturesque than it should be, even if the rest of this place is metal and plastic. Vira can hear her heels click against the floor as she walks, though she stops to nod politely at Medb when she sees her. ]

Is there someplace you wish you could be?

[ At least an airport is not something totally unfathomable to her fantasy mind. ]

[fergalicious]

[ She smiles in greeting. The window displays the sunny beach of a tropical island. ]

I want to go back to the beach, but it's not something I'm yearning for more than anything else.

[ After all, she chose to be here, and even with all the murder, she still has a goal. ]

w4, sat

[chevaleros]

[ Vira is sitting in the gardens, playing an unfamiliar harp, its tune quiet as she plucks the strings. She pauses briefly when she sees Medb, though, her voice worn out. ]

Hello, your majesty.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb takes a seat next to her. ]

Vira. That's beautiful. How are you feeling?

[ Not too great, she assumes, but she wants to hear what Vira's willing to say. ]

w6 - monday or whenever tbh

[chevaleros]

[ early on monday, she'll knock on the door to medb's room. it's early enough that she hasn't really noticed what's going on, probably. ]

Medb—may I come in?

monday works!

[fergalicious]

[ The door opens easily. ]

Hey, Vira!

[ She waves her on into a very neat room. Medb doesn't leave a mess or anything strewn about. ]

Is something up?

[ Medb's default emotion is confidence. ]

week 7, wednesday

[fergalicious]

[ Time to get sticky!!

Medb likes the wildflowers at the shrine most. It's peaceful in its own way even if this week is all about tackling some uwu Furby. She waves when she sees Vira. ]

Hey, Vira! Getting some downtime before our daily meeting?

[ Because it's daily now. For good reason, but it's daily. ]

[chevaleros]

[ they can be mean during the meetings but pleasant now. she smiles in greeting, not as worn-out since emotion share is over, thank god. ]

Ah, yes... I thought I'd come and make a wish, though I know it's not the season for it.

[ it's not new years, but whatever. it's just a nice place to be. ]

How are you handling this week? [ even with the furby, it seems better than last week... ]
