Week 3, Thursday

[overlimit]

[hi manwol, you find rita hanging around SUB, looking over at the bowling alley with a contemplative expression. she glances up when she sees her nearby, and says, uncertainly:]

Hey... weird question, but have you ever tried bowling before?

[lifeless]

[look it's apt since they're at a bowling alley]

Not really. Bowling would ruin my nails.

[she flashes rita her bright red manicure, im in tears]

[overlimit]

[giving those nails a look...]

I have to do a round with someone for extra credit. Would you mind? I'll make it up to you later.

[lifeless]

[nothing perks manwol up more than exchanges,]

Sure. It's a deal then.

[she'll head on over to the lane next to Rita's,]

Do you know how to play?

[overlimit]

Not really. I mean, you roll the ball down the lane? It probably can't be that hard.

[she picks up a bowling ball... and is thrown slightly off-balance, it's clear that she didn't expect it to be that heavy.]

[lifeless]

[rita... Manwol grins at this, because she's a gremlin.]

That's pretty much it, honestly. See the pins at the end? If you knock them all out, then you get a strike. Whoever gets the most strikes ends up winning.

[she hefts up her ball... it's hard because of her nails, but it's fine.]

But if winning's not the point, then you can just roll the ball.

[does rita HAVE to win]

[overlimit]

Hmm.

[she tries to throw the ball!

but her grip is absolute garbage. it slips out of her grasp a little early, thunks heavily against the floor, and deposits itself straight into the gutter.]

This game sucks.

week 4, friday

[lifeless]

[WHERE IS RITA PAZU!!!!!!

Manwol's going to be around... maybe not the bowling alley, probably the cafeteria. She's looking at the menu, but she's probably holding up the line for all these npc students that eat here. hmmm.... this requires great Thought,

her emotions are all focused, so maybe she really is trying to decide between asparagus and celery]

[overlimit]

[rita is never going back to the bowling alley, i hope you know. the cafeteria works!

rita's emotional state today is... a bit of a jumbled mess! but even with everything on her mind, she'll have time to notice she's getting delayed from getting her food.]

Hey, if you haven't decided yet, can I go in front of you?

[lifeless]

[our bowling alley serenades...

Manwol blinks, and then she shifts to the side to let Rita pass.]

...If you're getting dessert, then can you tell me how it is? I can't decide.

[OBVIOUSLY!! because she's been looking at SALAD OPTIONS!!]

[overlimit]

[squints...

and rita chooses her meal in like two seconds because she doesn't even care what she eats! but hell yeah she'll get a dessert. it's like, a slice of cheesecake.]

You all right there?

[lifeless]

[rita why do u not care about what you EAT what would yuri, the chef, say]

...Sorry. My ribs are killing me. The pain is terrible.

[she looks at the cheesecake on Rita's tray, she's intrigued despite being depressed... she'll get one of those too. it's like half a cake.]

[overlimit]

[look yuri's not here to give her non-garbage to eat!!]

Still? I think some of the dorms have painkillers stocked... We ended up using a ton of ours last night, though. [literally the majority of the dorm injured!! hate it!

that said, both her face and her emotions are radiating doubt.]

week 5, friday

[overlimit]

[investigations finish, but rita's still poking around here and there. she's hanging around by the kitchen when she spots manwol. her mood is... pretty resigned, for the most part.]

... Hey. Seen anything this morning?

[lifeless]

[Manwol's looking at different pots and pans like she's thinking about something, but she'll turn when Rita calls out to her.]

Two sleepers. Tsuyukusa in the cafeteria, and Yamato in the gymnasium.

[overlimit]

Those two...!?

[rita's eyes widen in immediate alarm.]

Were they all right?

[lifeless]

[rita ur concern... Manwol nods,]

Both of them are fine. Thankfully, neither of them were floating in a river this time.

[overlimit]

[she lets out a breath.]

Okay... good. [yeah she can't even be tsun right now, she's just very obviously relieved.]

Anything else of note?

[lifeless]

[manwol would think this is cute if there weren't two bodies... actually she probably thinks it is cute but not like in an insulting way]

...There were teacups in the cafeteria. I'm not sure if that has to do with Leo or Otome, but.

[it's happened before!! haha!!]

week 6, monday

[overlimit]

Can I ask you for help with something?

Just, if you promise not to tell anyone.

[lifeless]

Sure.

Do you need to drop something else on me?

[overlimit]

[just. closing her eyes wherever she is.]

no
nothing like that!!

Look, you're good with stuff like hair and fashion, right?

[lifeless]

[hehehe

oh but this is interesting!!!]

That's right. I'm excellent at hair, make-up, style and color coordination... Pretty much everything that has to do with appearances. What do you need?

[overlimit]

I don't want to call it a "makeover" or anything but like
some tips?

[lifeless]

Let's meet in person then. That way I can give you the tips you need.
