Week 0, Saturday, Post-Trial

[overlimit]

[hey tsuyukusa, whatcha doing? just kidding, it doesn't matter if he looks approachable right now or not, because rita's approaching him regardless.]

Hey. That guy said you're a spirit. Is that true?

[imagine having manners. rita would never.]

[branches]

[It's fine since he doesn't have manners either, and he's too tired to get agitated.]

Yeah. A tree spirit. Why?

[overlimit]

You look so humanlike, though...

[yeah she's just checking him out with a fascinated look.]

Week 1, Saturday

[overlimit]

[hey tsuyukusa. you in the dorm? cool, so is rita. she'll walk in, sink into a chair in the common room, and sigh.]

Ugh. That was such a mess.

[branches]

[He is, he's retrieved the bottle of sake he's been keeping in his locker, and is similarly slumped in a chair.]

No kidding. Not only is Manwol in danger now, but whoever it actually was is probably laughing at us now.

[overlimit]

[she leans back, staring up at the ceiling.]

I don't know... Looking at those suspects, how many of them seem like the maniacal-laughing sorts? The trial was a joke, but I don't think anyone thought it was funny.

week 2, friday

[branches]

[Hey Rita. You're mad. I'm mad. We live in the same dorm. How fortuitous.]

Hey. Do you wanna go throw rocks at stuff?
[Good venting activity.]

[overlimit]

[he just caught her walking between rooms, her head lowered like she doesn't want to face anyone... but she pauses.


and nods.

yeah, let's go fuck something up.]

[branches]

[Tsundere to tsundere communication. Tsuyukusa beckons her to follow him and they head outside!! He leads her to... Outside the SUB where there's??? Already a pile of rocks??? These are his throwing rocks I guess.]

You can either see how far you can throw, or just throw it at the side of the building. I think that's better for the softer ones because then sometimes they'll shatter.
[HOW OFTEN DOES HE THROW ROCKS?]

week 2, sunday

[branches]

[Bro we are just leaving Execution at the same time.]

I don't know why I even bother going to these things.
[TCH!!]

[overlimit]

[she groans in agreement.]

I was seriously considering skipping this one, but... you never know who's going to get roped into the fight.

[branches]

... Yeah.

[A horrible thought occurs to him.]
What if one time it's Mabel?

Week 3, Thursday

[overlimit]

[it's thursday, sometime before things will presumably go bad for many of us, and rita's here in the auditorium when she notices... tsuyukusa.]

... What are you doing?

[she bends down to get a look at his goblin ways.]

[branches]

[He pokes his head out from under the seat he's currently under. Looks around.]

... Burrowing, I guess?
[We all have our head empty moments, it seems.]

You wanna come?
[UNDER THE SEATS?]

[overlimit]

Wh... why would I do that?

[also]

Why are you doing that??

week 3 post trial

[branches]

[You know what Rita can find him just now coming out of the greenhouse, fresh dirt on his hands.]

Oh, Rita.

[overlimit]

Hey.

[she'll look at his hands?] What are you up to?

Week 4, Wednesday

[overlimit]

[rita catches tsuyukusa somewhere outside the dorm!]

Oh, hey. So did you still need a hand with that extra credit...?

[branches]

[!]

Oh! No, I figured I should just pick someone else who won't be too mad about it. So I think I'll just use Shinonome. He's in the kitchen a lot so that's a good place to do it, I think.

week 4, post trial

[branches]

[We are just heading back to the dorm in the wake of the group panic attack. Tsuyukusa glances at Rita and then just...

Goes over to a tree and starts to climb. He's had enough. he's returning to the wild.]

[overlimit]

[... yeah that's a mood, actually. rita's here just giving off feelings of exhaustion, grief, guilt, and some lingering terror.

she'll stop by the tree and not look directly at him.]

... Sorry. You trusted her, right?

week 5, friday

[branches]

[Tsuyukusa had just gotten back to the dorm when the message goes out. He looks down at his phone and just. Sort of very visibly shuts down.]

This can't....

[overlimit]

[rita checks hers too... and sighs. she sees tsuyukusa's face as she tucks it away...]

Hey. You all right?

week 5, post trial

[branches]

[Tsuyukusa is just sitting slumped at a desk when Rita comes in. He looks like he's been crying but he is not Right At This Moment.]

... Rita.

[overlimit]

Hey, idiot.

[rita's gotten her composure back since the trial, it seems. she walks over and takes a seat near him.]

... You snapped out of it, right? How're you feeling?
