Honor Society + Whatever-The-Hell-Nier-Is Picnic

[overlimit]

[Sometime on Monday, Nier will get a text informing him that they're having a picnic, as well as the time and place.

When they do get together, somewhere on the campus grounds, there's a large picnic blanket spread out over the grass. There's also a pitcher of iced tea and some cups. Kon and Yamato have been encouraged to bring food.]

Good; everyone's here. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get started.

[tagging is free-for-all, feel free to just make toplevels for different topics or whatever!]

[ THEy'RE JUST IN THE WOODS. ]

Unless Riku is lying to me, yeah. Denji doesn't suspect anything at all, right?

[refate]

[ this is like a cult meeting if it's in the woods i'm in tears

kon, meanwhile, looks exhausted. ]

No. Denji shouldn't know anything.

[amain]

Then we just need to keep it that way.

[ laughs at iki ]

[refate]

[ laughs at him also ]

I'm... I'm not going to go talk to him tonight. Just in case - I can keep my mind pretty blank, but I don't want to risk anything.

[amain]

... Yeah, that's fair. You've also gone through a lot this past week.

[ laughs in field trip ]

[refate]

[ how did my tag get to where it did i'm whehezing ]

... mm, yeah. [ quiet, kind of looking at nier for a moment. ] What was her name? The girl in the shipwreck, at Seafront.

[amain]

[ He's thinking... If he has ever heard the Shades' name, or at least if it was given one. ]

I don't know. We never got close to her like your group did. [ ... ] The postman that took care of her wanted to forget it all.

[refate]

[ nodding in return, fiddling a bit with the charm on his wrist, thinking. ]

... I don't know if Claude named her, or if that was her name by some twist of fate. But when you go back, she answered to Claudia, when we met her. If you find yourself in Seafront, or thinking of her.

[ clear fall bias, but: ]

Riku wouldn't. So now we just... wait, and hope whoever is picked tomorrow doesn't try to sacrifice themselves for him?

[ for once the compulsion might fucking help ]

[amain]

[ It's okay. Nier also loves Riku. ]

... It'd be ideal if one of ours was picked to ensure that, but.

[ This place is awful. He sighs. ]

[ghoststrums]

... Yeah it is. But if all goes well, it'd be a little less awful tomorrow, thanks to you. [ pats his shoulder ]

[amain]

[ Closes his eyes... ]

I hope this is all over soon.

[ghoststrums]

... It should be our last week, at least.
