Comments

W1, Thursday

[mustbepurged]

[There's a knock on Emet-Selch's door.]

I'm sorry to disturb you when you're resting... [Was he resting? (shrugs)] I'd like to treat your wounds, if you'll allow me.

[ktiseos]

...very well.

[he still seems kind of out of it? looks a little ill, too, paler than normal. but he's cleaned up-- his hair is still wet from it, with a fresh set of robes on, when he opens the door.]

It is not extensive.

w1 sunday

[ktiseos]

[hewwo estelle. emet-selch hasn't been around for a bit, post-execution, but he is now; he's just vibing somewhere in the courtyard.]

Estelle.

[he says, with a little nod of acknowledgment.]

...your assistance has been appreciated. If there is aught I may do to return it, do inform me.

[mustbepurged]

[She was looking a little glum after the events of the day, but hearing that brings a smile to Estelle's face.]

It's my pleasure. I'm powerless here, so... I'm just glad I could do something to help.

Week 2, Wednesday

[mustbepurged]

[It's late in the evening and the party seems to be winding down! Estelle's looking around at the mess they've left; probably lots of empty or abandoned drinks.]

Wow... everyone really went all-out. I've never been to a party like this before...

[ktiseos]

Never? This occurred in the Prism, as well.

[he glances down to her curiously, mood somewhat improved from the usual. partly thanks to the flowers, partly the alcohol, probably.]

What do you make of such events, then?

Week 2, Thursday

[mustbepurged]

[On Thursday morning, after Emet probably had to spend the night somewhere else, there is an envelope in front of his room, with the name Emet-Selch on it.

Inside is his room key.]

Week 2, Friday

[mustbepurged]

[Friday afternoon, Estelle is in the library. While she's usually seen here with a book in her hand, it doesn't look like she's managed to tear her focus away from the morning announcement just yet. When she notices Emet-Selch nearby, she turns to greet him with a polite nod of her head. There's a weak attempt at a smile.]

I suppose it's too much to hope for anything else... But I still wish it didn't have to be like this.

[ktiseos]

...as do we all. 'Tis no less unpleasant each time, is it.

[she gets a nod of his head in turn, there, wings folded in as usual to keep them from knocking against bookshelves and furniture.]

Are you physically well, at the least?

Week 2, Sunday

[mustbepurged]

[Sunday, after the execution, Estelle can be found in the library. She has a book in her hands, but her bunny ears twitch when she realizes Emet-Selch is nearby, and she looks up.]

Oh! Good afternoon.

[ktiseos]

[god bunny estelle is so cute. he gives her a little nod, when she looks up, glancing down to see what she's reading.]

Estelle. Are you well enough, after the weekend?

[saturday Sucked tbh]

Week 3, Monday

[mustbepurged]

This is... the school! We're really here...

[Estelle can be found on the grounds of Wiwaldi, looking excitedly at the new sights.]

Are you here to explore too, Emet-Selch? Maybe we can find--

[Oops nevermind, there's a shower of stardust and a memory for them to experience.]

[ktiseos]

[he nods to her in greeting, with a slight quirk of a smile at her excitement, but before he can say anything in turn--

...there's that memory, a jarring thing contrasted with what he's seen of her so far. sure, there's that offhanded line in her profile that seems odd, but she's never seemed to be hiding a different nature.

he still doesn't think she is. not hearing her pleading to be killed like that.

he takes a moment to reorient, to catch his breath, before glancing down to her in concern.]

Estelle? What in the world-

Week 3, Saturday

[mustbepurged]

[At the Wiwaldi campus, Estelle's out on the grounds, staring out at the moat by the dorms. Her face is a little pale, and her eyes are reddish -- likely from crying. It seems that she's calm now, though.

It takes several moments for her to notice Emet-Selch. When she does, she turns and lowers her head in a short bow.]

Oh, um... thank you for your hard work today.

I really wish we'd found... something else, though...

[ktiseos]

... it is unfortunate.

[unfortunate, but he can't quite tell her he's sorry for it, despite pointing her at kazu in the first place.]

But we know what happened to one, at least.

w4, monday

[ktiseos]

[hi estelle...

wherever he finds her in the hotel, she just gets

an immediate pat on the head.

then his brow furrows as he pulls his hand back, quickly.]

-good morning.

[mustbepurged]

[She looks up with a grin, apparently totally fine with that.]

Good morning. Have you looked at the new areas, yet?

Week 4, Thursday

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle's in the courtyard, but rather than relaxing, she's looking at the flowers closely, studying them with interest.

When she notices Emet-Selch, she turns to face him with a cheerful smile.]

Oh, Emet-Selch! Hello. How has your week been?

[ktiseos]

It has been... acceptable, I suppose.

[this is as far as increased positivity gets us...

he glances at the flowers, though.]

Spending time with the plants, I see.

Week 4, Friday

[mustbepurged]

[After the announcement, Estelle went straight to her room and has been there since.

Does he knock...?]

[ktiseos]

[he does!

it sounds a little weird, however. just something sort of thudding against the door.]

w4, saturday

[ktiseos]

[BOY. THAT SUCKED.

emet-selch showers, first, before he makes his way to her room, knocking first.]

...Estelle?

[mustbepurged]

[The first thing Estelle did was take a bath, herself. She's changed her clothes too (minus accessories because who's got time for that). She opens the door.]

Emet-Selch...

[She looks tired, but she manages a weak smile.]

Were you worried about me? I'm sorry...

w5, monday

[ktiseos]

[hewwo estelle. he's hanging out in the library today! there are a couple books on flowers that he has with him, both flower meanings and identification.]

Ah- good morning.

[mustbepurged]

Good morning!

[Estelle seems to be more or less recovered from the weekend. She wanders right over to peek at what he's got.]

You're reading about flowers?

week 5 tuesday

[ktiseos]

[hello estelle! he'll come to find her, at some point, and invite her to come to his room this time. the furniture is very tall, but it's not impossible to climb onto the bed or chair if she'd like to sit.]

I wished to speak with you of something. Have you heard anything new since we last discussed those pages we found?

[mustbepurged]

[She does climb up onto a chair. Her legs dangle comically high above the floor.]

Only a little...

Oh, but I found out I got lots of letters!

w5 thursday

[ktiseos]

[goddd our ESTELLE.

after she's been healed and seen to, he'll come find her to check in.]

-Estelle. Are you well?

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle's sitting on a sofa in the lobby. She's still wearing a red robe that covers her entire body, though the hood is pulled back. She looks up.]

I... I'm better now, thank you.

w5 curfew

[ktiseos]

[we don't need a new post so slaps this here!

he's decided to stay in the simulations room, tonight. once it seems that they're the only ones here... well, he promised earlier in the week that he would do this, so when he changes the simulation-

it's to a view of amaurot, impossibly tall buildings springing up all around them. stars glitter in the sky, warm glows lighting up the night from the windows of the nearby buildings. they're in a plaza, currently, elegant trees growing along its edges.]

[mustbepurged]

[Hooray for simulations! Estelle has changed into a comfier outfit that is TBA, goodbye cult robes, no more matchies with Emet. He might have noticed her looking apprehensive when the doors locked, but now, surrounded by the sights of Amaurot, she's looking a little calmer as she stares up at the towering buildings.]

This is your home...?

endgaaaame

[ktiseos]

[emet-selch is hanging out in the courtyard again! he's just settled on the grass, quietly enjoying-- well. being here.]

-Estelle. I suppose we've time to rest, now.

[mustbepurged]

[She'll come over to stand beside him.]

We do...

... Have you been well? It looked like people were getting hurt a lot on that side...
