w2, saturday, post trial

[supremity]

[ Thank Dianxia he's not finding you in the train station, given the number of times evidence has been there, but regardless. Here we are.

Hua Cheng steps out of the inn, into the plaza proper, but pauses when he notices Clementine - vibing, in the town square. Hello, small child that has realistic expectations of the cruel universe, what are you doing. ]

[stillnot]

[ she is literally just vibing ]

Hey. You managed not to disrupt things too bad without having to have your weird curse thing dispelled. Good job.

[supremity]

[ Wow! Children just drag him left and right here, even with backhanded compliments. ]

I think gege should have the credit in that, considering I had every intention of knocking his head off. [ Bad vibes @ Claude still 100% active, unfortunately. ] Although if it's a curse, I'd like to have a word with the person that cast it.

[stillnot]

[ she genuinely didn't mean for it to be backhanded. she's just naturally mean. oops. ]

Me too. Too bad I've got no idea who any of the people who can do that stuff are.

[supremity]

[ It's fine, honestly, because he thinks it's hilarious. ]

Only the leaders should technically have any abilities like that, since the Realm took anything we had from us. [ contemplative ] ... in theory, anyways.

[stillnot]

But I don't think they'd do it for just anyone who asked.

... Maybe you have to be good friends with them.

[supremity]

Pass. [ Hua Cheng please stop dunking on the leaders challenge. ]

Those items we were given have rather interesting powers, but at this point I'd just accept that he's an annoyance instead of thinking it was a stone, since the stones don't last that long.

[stillnot]

It is a pretty long time compared to the other special stuff we can do.

What is it about him that's been bothering you so much?

[supremity]

[ There's a disdainful look. ]

He's an obnoxious pissant, with his head so far up his own ass that I'm surprised he can still talk as much as he does.

[ This is so funny OOCly because they have so much in common. Someone please find the person responsible for this. ]

[stillnot]

I don't know him that well, so I hadn't noticed.

He seemed friendly but... I don't know.

[supremity]

Friendly enough, until you listen to him talk for more than five minutes.

[ Radiating annoyance - god, stop, Hua Cheng. ]

Regardless of whether it's real or a curse, he's lucky that gege was there - but that interruption shouldn't have happened. We have too much going on.

[stillnot]

So you're just not good with that type of person.

[ the sociable, talkative type. ]

... I think it'll be fine. Even if he still annoys you, this will wear off.

[supremity]

[ He inclines his head, some slight agreement there. But it's fine. She's right. ]

We'll see how it turns out. But best to keep the two of us as far from each other as possible, until we know if it does wear off.

week 4, monday

[stillnot]

[ clementine is still just exploring the new area for the week, but. a sheriff's office seems like a pretty cool place to check out. he will probably notice her habitual tap against the window, then a pause before she enters the building.

old habits die hard. and hm, there sure are bubbles floating around inside this building that she is - momentarily - side stepping. but she does not seem terribly concerned about them, either... ]

Find anything cool in here?

[supremity]

[ The tap gets his attention, and Hua Cheng glances, waits, watches as she enters. He can take a few guesses at why she does it, considering it seems to be a cautionary move, but he doesn't ask. Just taps his knuckles against the calendar. ]

I haven't checked the desk or upstairs, but we have some cells in the back and apparently a date.

[ Also, bubbles. He is also ignoring them. ]

[stillnot]

Kind of weird. I haven't had a date in a long time.

[ she does not think about how that? sounds like a different sentence? because he has the context IT'S FINE. but she mostly tells time in passing seasons and by the weather. ]

[supremity]

[ He pauses, because he does catch the out of context mishap that could be, but instead just snorts and flips through the calendar. ]

To be fair, I don't know what any of these - months? - might be. We have a similar twelve month system, but I don't think the dates match up as well.

[stillnot]

[ huh. guess that makes sense with different worlds and eras? ]

Huh. They're the months and days I'm used to, but... I usually don't get a calendar. I just go by seasons.
