week 3, the week 2 continuation..........

[ i'm not sure why i made a blank top-level to begin with but past me was onto something i guess.

anyway.

Everyone's getting a message through their compact to meet up in the manor's foyer for something IMPORTANT! And by important it's just Elysium holding up his fuckin socks from Bostco. That he himself did not get because he was distracted with getting limited edition L*bubus——but no one needs to know that. ]

You guys didn't think I'd forget, did you? Surprise!

[ The mods have given me the following effects to play with when the socks are worn:

- Tell one truth about themselves every hour.
- Make them begin spreading wild conspiracy theories.
- Give them the urge to dance.
- Grow a pair of bunny ears and a bunny tail.
- Make them want to dote on the first person they see.
- Believe the world will end if three people aren't all holding hands.

Elysium himself does not know anything about them… he is an innocent. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY. The way that they were just attacking Tokinaga about it but he's still delighted to see that they have enough socks for all of them now, like a little team uniform.]

Wow, wow! You actually got some!

[transmit]

Did you think I wouldn't? We had to make it up to the good Señor! Then I thought——there's no reason why any of us should be left out.

[ THEY CAN JUST TAKE WHATEVER THEY WANT. WHAT'S MONEY. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[WHAT'S MONEY!!! Returning to society is going to be so rough.]

That's true, that's true! I like it this way, too. We can all match!

[transmit]

[ does scien even believe in money ]

Right? Right? Don't we all feel like a team like this, too? Should we come up with a name?

[artificialsweetener]

[He does in that he pays his workers well... sometimes i think about how every researcher at the institute gets free housing.]

Ooh, what a great idea! Yes, yes, let's! What should we be?!

[transmit]

[ money may as well just be a concept to them, too…… ]

Yeah? What's something all of us have in common? Other than being taller than you, that is.

[artificialsweetener]

[IT'S TRUE...]

Uwah, monsieur, how cruel... That would leave me out, anyway!

[transmit]

Hm? It'd include you in the name. "The Taller than Dahut Club"!

[artificialsweetener]

Why are you bullying me again?!

[WHAPPYPAWS HIS ARM.]

[transmit]

[ Heheh… ]

It wouldn't be super exclusive, though… is the problem. [ Completely ignores this whappypawing. ] Just about everyone here would be eligible. You wouldn't have any other ideas, would you?

[artificialsweetener]

My height only adds to my cuteness, you know!

[HUFFS AND PUFFS though he is not actually offended. Being small has its benefits... You can just escape through the vents when Bourreau appears.]

In any case, you came up with the bullying name, so you can come up with the nice one, too! That's your responsibility now.

[transmit]

[ you know who else escapes from vents? amogus… he shouldn't be too proud of that… ]

Easier said than done when we make quite the eclectic combination. If we think about it in terms of letters, we have 'E', 'D', 'T', and 'Y'. … There's nothing we can make!

[aerodynamic]

[ he was like 90% passed out for this sock conversation so this is a little surprising, but sure. team socks. ]

I'll admit, I'll admire your ability to commit to the bit.

[transmit]

[ TEAM SOCKS!!!! ]

Yeah? Then take that admiration and make your pick!

[aerodynamic]

[ he will wear these socks because elysium gave them to him and then probably be mad later when he sees what happens to them. ]

Okay, okay! Twist my arm about it why don't you... they've just gotta look good with sneakers.

[transmit]

[ once again repeats that he is an innocent. yoyo… ]

If you wear the ones with ears poking out of them, girls will see and comment on how cute they are. Trust.

[aerodynamic]

[ :meowno:

also he has since looped around to being girl-focused so hard he actually takes this at face value. ]

... if you say so. [ slaps him with hideous socks and hopes for the best. ]

[transmit]

Why don't you sound like you believe me? Whimsy gets you far in life! Makes recoveries super easy even when you fall short. —Not that you will.

[ surely

one of the six women will validate this perspective ]

More importantly. Seeing as that won you over so quickly, was there actually someone you had an eye on?

[aerodynamic]

I appreciate your confidence in me. [ wry. ] But sure, whimsy will get us through the horrors, whatever. And they're just socks, this is kind of easy.

[ DON'T. CALL HIM OUT THOUGH??? ]

It has nothing to do with that! It was just in general! [ a ]

[transmit]

[ starts counting off his fingers while pausing between each name ]

Cardinal Lemuen, Mafuyu, Reirin, Miss Medea, Miss Fiammetta, Miss Melinoë——

[ are there any reactions ]

[aerodynamic]

[ there's a brief ping of thoughtfulness about mafuyu and worry about reirin and gratitude to meli and lemuen and a little bolt of respect-fear for medea and fia but those are probably not what ely is looking for. ]

That's... pretty much all of 'em, right?

[transmit]

Mm. So it's someone back at home? Now that'd be a talking point——having socks sourced directly from Purgatory.

[aerodynamic]

Nah. [ he's picking up something like these things in ugly holiday colors and probably a santa hat. ]

You think we'd actually be able to take stuff back with us?

[transmit]

[ cute… remember to thank him when they keep him warm. ]

Your guess is as good as mine. But it'd be a shame to leave empty-handed, wouldn't it? A souvenir, even a small one, to say we were here and that we didn't just pass each other like ghosts would be nice.
