[ i rng'd and got the sirius theatre, so i guess she is just... squinting at the pamphlets on display, proudly showing off all the upcoming shows and new merch available to purchase for all the different shows. ]
I have no idea what any of these are, but the hoodies look kinda cosy.
[ she can probably tell from this response that he Does Not See, because what are concert hoodies. ??? it is an alien concept and i need him to go to fontaine asap ]
But why would anyone want to do that? Doesn't it play for a long time?
[ no such thing as a one night only performance..... ]
[ it is definitely for her, considering that albedo made it out of dark grey metal chain and a bright red plastic gem as a highlight of the charm. very colour appropriate. ]
You're welcome. I figured I would make them for our team, at least, since there was enough materials to make them.
tama is just in the window and i hope albedo is just living his best life inside this place and has to deal with tama just appearing like 🧍looking in. hi.
she looks like she’s pretty enthralled with the whole place though, wow. she will actually come inside after an awkward moment. ]
[ ok no maybe he lives here like 70% of the time, given that there is now a tiny art studio in the goat dorm, but when he hears tama's voice he'll poke his head out from where he's looking at various canvases and paints. ]
Yes. I'm surprised, it looks much bigger on the inside.
[ sets up a little bed for him in the corner. his holiday home. ]
Like that phone box from that sci-fi show.
[ modern references for a fantasy boy. she’ll wander in and have a little look at what he’s been examining. ] Not really, I was just doing the usual rounds. The whole “new week, new stuff” check — it keeps me from dwelling to hard on the past weekend at least.
[ because, boy howdy.
also that glitter is going right in the dorm. i don’t make the rules. ]
[ this is a very lazy starter, but tama is somewhere out and about with a cup of takeaway hot beverage, squinting at this particular memory with a suspicious, annoyed look on her face. ]
...
Sometimes, you really need to be worried about the people running big organisations like this one. She really was nothing but a weird cult leader...
[ alas, tama is in a regular body. she will need to pass out eventually.
she will wave back when she spots him. ] Hey. I think we can go into the common area, or we could sit out here for a bit. It's... a surprisingly nice evening, despite everything.
[ haha jk this isn't really a conversation but when tama returns to emerald goat dorms there is a letter placed in the living room of goat dorm addressed to her. she can probably recognise albedo's handwriting instantly. ]
Tama,
Forgive me, for I'm about to walk to my death. But this is a choice I would make again, if it came down to it. We had this conversation, didn't we? With Ace, last week.
If the rumours and the newspaper is what it claims to be, then I ask that you do not mourn me for too long. I realise it would be unfair of me to ask you to stay strong when you are the last one of our team left, but I pray to whatever Archon will hear that eventually we will all be reunited.
Thank you for looking out for me.
Faithfully yours Albedo
[ enclosed in the letter is his small trading card collection (tokki, afterlife, zephyr, jojo, sigreat, super cutie deluxe, blue reverberation) and the blank black dragon usb from a wonderball. it's hers now. use it for good ♡ ]
Most of it. There was a domain with a lake inside, but that was enclosed too so the air wasn't quite as fresh. And besides, I like the outdoors.
[ a pause. ]
And Jolyne, actually, before. They were quite apologetic about it, actually.
They were in the same situation that Ace was. It was either me or you, and with Ryuki being... [ there is a pause here where it's clear that he doesn't want to say ticking time bomb but actually is implying it anyway-- ]
I was the safer option.
[ not that he likes it, but he can't... really argue with that logic. ]
I think I would’ve been safer in the long run. But— [ she sighs ] It can’t have been an easy choice. As awful as the situation was, Ace took a lot of pressure off our shoulders, acting as he did.
w0, monday
I have no idea what any of these are, but the hoodies look kinda cosy.
a+ shitpost choice tbh
That makes the two of us. I think the opera back home is playing different kinds of shows.
[ he is picking up a random pamphlet and flipping through it ]
It does look very warm. And it's in a nice colour too.
[ spins a wheel. it says the hoodie is maroon. ]
it make me laugh for an unreasonably long time
[ not that she’s judging a whole musical genre with no real basis or anything. ]
It’s probably like going to a concert. You buy a hoodie of the band you’re seeing, so you can show off you went to see them. Only it’s opera.

Depends? Sometimes shows are a permanent fixture, but sometimes they rotate. So, if you dithered you wouldn't get anything from your favourite show!
no subject
[ picks out a hoodie from the stash since tama oh so conveniently mentioned it. it is a bit too oversized on albedo. ]
How does it look?
no subject
[ hehe. ]
Cosy. You should grab one -- ideal for movie nights.
no subject
[ brief pause as he digs around in his pocket for some coins that he can just
slapplace onto the unmanned counter because stealing is bad ]If I could bring this home that would be nice. It's quite warm.
no subject
[ even if they've barely used it yet. ]
You should! It's not like we have to worry too much about money while we're here-- and we definitely need more outfits.
w1, thursday
Sorry to interrupt. Are you busy?
no subject
Nope, free as a bird for now. Everything okay?
no subject
[ hold out your hand, tama! when she does so he'll drop a small charm bracelet into it. ]
no subject
This is for me?
no subject
Yes. Goat said we had to make something at the craft shop, right?
no subject
[ she's not mad about it, which is probably clear from the fact she is holding this bracelet like "this is mine" ]
So, thank you.
no subject
You're welcome. I figured I would make them for our team, at least, since there was enough materials to make them.
[ ... ]
I'm glad you like it.

[ sometimes... you have never done art. ]
Of course I do.

Wow, there’s a whole store for this stuff.

[ there's an inside joke here somewhere. ]
Looking for something in particular?
[ there is a shelf of glitter somewhere maybe ]

Re: w4, monday
[ there's something about this memory that makes albedo frown, though. ]
... Your world is fake?
[ of all the things to pick up from that memory, though? ]
no subject
What?
Oh. No. [ she shakes her head. ] It’s real. That cult just has… interesting opinions on things. [ wrong and incorrect ones too. ]
week 4 post trial
You alright?
Are you going to see Ace later?
no subject
... probably soon. ryuki's still passed out, and i don't want him to wake up alone, not knowing what happened.
no subject
[ introvert. ]
Want some company while you wait for Ryuki to wake up?
no subject
it probably will be quieter later on, yeah. people have to sleep, after all.
… sure, i’d like that. i’m at mouse dorms, i can come outside and meet you there?
no subject
got it. see you.
[ and here he is! he's just outside the main lobby, and he'll wave at tama when she approaches ]

Let's get these then. How about something more orange to balance these out?

Sorry, got trapped in the newspaper building for a bit.
no subject
So I hear. Sounds like it was kinda cramped in there.
no subject
Very. I'm glad we got out when we did. There's just something about fresh air that doesn't smell like ink.
... Also, sorry for leaving you alone there for the last one and a half weeks.
[ he doesn't regret like, you know, dying, but he does regret that ]
