w0 - monday

[chevaleros]

[ Considering how many people are at the base, and how much of it is made of common areas, the occasion retreat to their private room is a needed blessing. It seems Vira isn't the only one to think so, because when she comes back with some fresh laundry, Primrose is already there.

She quickly summons up a smile to greet her. ]

Hello, Primrose. I hope I'm not interrupting your rest.

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose responds with an equally amiable smile from where she sits, sheathed dagger in her lap. She was apparently just finishing with polishing it. ]

You needn't worry, your company disrupts nothing. Even with two of us, it's still a rather calming quiet.

[chevaleros]

Oh, I'm glad you think so.

[ She sets down her bundled clothes to get to folding them, so they get to enjoy a mostly domestic moment of peace. (Primrose is armed?) Domestic peace. ]

Though I hope that knife of yours isn't cursed as well. [ kidding, hopefully. ]

[femmefinale]

[ No man will burst in to kill them, not with Primrose on the job.

She has to chuckle though, shaking her head. ]

Not at all. It's merely a keepsake with no magical abilities. I'm afraid in comparison to the both of you and your companions, I'm rather unexciting.

Week 0, Sunday

[femmefinale]

[ Wow. That sure happened.

And Primrose is most certainly tired, turning to Vira as they exit the room and she tries not to remember the sound of Beau's agonized screaming. ]

Spirit of choice?

[chevaleros]

[ yeah. that sure was a thing. vira looks dour as they go to find the bar, her brows furrowed briefly before they smooth over into something more wearied. ]

Something smooth, I suppose.

[ usually she's more of a wine person, but it doesn't suit the occasion. she considers asking after primrose's tastes as well, though what comes out instead is: ]

Are you well, after that?

[femmefinale]

... As well as can be expected. [ She's not as shaken and upset as some of them had been, but it hadn't sat well with her and it shows in the way she tries not to let it show at all. ]

And you, Vira?

w2 - monday

[chevaleros]

[ after the events of the day, vira decides that maybe living in their room forever is not such a bad idea, actually? but the base isn't so big that they can all avoid each other forever, especially not their roommates.

and besides, she can't help but greet prim as she returns. the polite nod quickly turns into something else, though. (from 2:08 to 6:45 i'm sorry it's long cries in visual novel style games)

at least a relatively innocent one, though a little embarrassing—vira shrugs sheepishly. ]

Ah, I wasn't myself that week...

[femmefinale]

[ ... She has so many questions, but what really emerges is-- ]

I feel as though your heart was a bit swayed, somehow.

[chevaleros]

[ she considers that, expression dropping a little. ]

...That is one way to put it. I fear that it's starting to drift.

w2 - friday

[chevaleros]

lord-commander

Primrose—it's Vira. Are you all right? [ not just because of her injuries, but all those deaths... she's not sure how people are doing after three of them. ]

[femmefinale]

[ Yeah, this isn't great. ]

As well as anyone else, I would imagine. Are you near the room?

[chevaleros]

Yes, I took a quick look around but I'll be staying in the room the rest of the day.

Do you need help getting back?

Week 3, Monday

[femmefinale]

[ The library sure is popular... though Primrose doesn't even look surprised to see her roommate there. ]

A place like this seems to suit you, I would say.

[chevaleros]

[ she looks up from one of the thick library tomes at primrose, looking pleased if a little subdued about her presence. ]

I can't deny that I've spent much of my life in studies like this. It reminds me of my old offices.

[ though this book is kind of putting her to sleep, thanks sloth week. so the company is a nice pick-me-up. ]

What of you, Primrose? Looking for a book for research, or pleasure?

[femmefinale]

Perhaps both, eventually. But I would like to learn more while I can.

[ She pauses though, looking Vira over a tad curiously. ]

Perhaps not what you've been reading, however. You look rather drowsy.

w4, saturday

[chevaleros]

[ she wanders back to their room eventually, looking a little haggard as she does, luminiera tagging by her closely. she gives her an absent pat on the head before she sees primrose. ]

Primrose... [ it takes her a moment to know what to say ] I hope I didn't alarm you during trial.

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose is not as haggard-looking, but she does have to close her eyes briefly, her features drawn tight with... worry? Maybe?? ]

Shall we just say I'm glad you did not have to take responsibility, Vira?

[chevaleros]

[ she sits down with a nod, eyes downcast. ]

I don't draw any great joy from voting 'correctly.' But it was better than picking someone innocent and having to deal with the consequences.

[ that's the choice they have to make every week. ]

Week 6, Monday

[femmefinale]

[ She's heading back to their room-- and pausing when she sees Vira already there, before her shoulders slump a bit in defeat. ]

I see we likely had the same idea.

[chevaleros]

[ vira blinks over instinctively, and there's nothing to really be done about what comes next. once her mild surprise passes, her emotions are... conflicted. more than her expression allows. she is happy to see primrose, perhaps, but then that joy is very carefully bottled away and replaced with politeness. ]

I think a number of us are in hiding this week.

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose blinks, a little surprised but not too shocked by the emotions that greet her. Vira has always struck her as someone who remains respectful and polite at all times, regardless of how she actually feels.

In response, her own fondness is muted with a sense of caution, even though she's aware Vira likely knows as much. ]

I can't say I blame them.

Week 7, Wednesday

[femmefinale]

[ You know, after realizing what's happening, she's done her best to be careful.

But.

She makes it back to her room in all due haste and in said haste, she... stumbles. Sure hope no one is nearby! ]

[chevaleros]

[ Fortunately, Vira is here to help steady her! Unfortunately, this now means they're stuck together, with Vira's hand on her shoulder. ]

Ah...

[femmefinale]

... Ah.

[ She sounds bleak. ]

This was my fault.
