day 8 whenever it makes sense

[fallingleaf]

[ what if, he was meditating somewhere instead of wandering-- because that is what he is doing, rather than trying to keep distracting himself ]

Re: day 8 whenever it makes sense

[fujimaru]

[ She's headed back from dinner, because let's just assume that she actually did the responsible thing and got someone to go with her. When she sees him, though, her pace picks up. ]

Kazuha-kun! Hey!

day 13 sometime

[virtualsystem]

[not find her attractive, will you, Ritsuka. This cannot stand. She refuses.

Which is why Ritsuka's phone is ringing and there is a somewhat nsfw selfie being sent to it.]

What do you think?
Incredible, right?

Re: day 13 sometime

[fujimaru]

Uhhhhh, I think you sent this to the wrong person?
You should be more careful with that
Just because this is a horny hotel doesn't mean there aren't weirdos here

Day 12, night, literally while asleep,

[lifeban]

[It's cold and dark.

Does it hurt? It's hard to say. That might just be the cold and the dark getting to her.

This cell doesn't have the luxury of being able to hear others. This cell is in utter isolation. She is left to the stone of the Shackling Prison, the (Dracocatena Nails staked through her body? no.) corallium chains (holding her suspended? no. wrong her.) around her wrists and ankles, and the comforting, mind-numbing awareness of the water in the pipes through the building, so close but unreachable.

She knows the only available light is available at the flick of a switch, but that switch is outside her cell. So for now, it is cold and dark.]

Re: Day 12, night, literally while asleep,

[fujimaru]

...?

[ Something about this is familiar.

Not this, exactly--not the chains, not the setting, but this sort of disorienting shift, when she isn't herself, but also remembers her self. But it's been a long time since anything like this--

...ah. Wait.

For now, she tries to tug at her arms, testing just how much room she even has to move, in this position. ]

Day 15, early evening

[cultfavorite]

[Hey there Ritsuka, how's your day going? Surely nothing bad has happened today to you! It is a completely normal time to be getting an unknowing text from Saturn:]

I haven't been texting you every day to tell you you're lovely, have I? How remiss of me.

[fujimaru]

[ SURELY NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED AT ALL,

This is definitely a time period where he would know she should be up and about and active, but it's a good solid like fifteen minutes before she answers, and what he gets is: ]

OK

[ And then another minute before: ]

Sorry
Tired
You can come over if you want

day 13 probably later afternoon?

[constellationprize]

Hello, Ritsuka!
This is Aradia.
Would it be OK for us to talk for a little while?
Whether it's over the phone or in-person, I don't mind.
And if you're busy right now, instead, then you don't need to worry about this, OK?

Re: day 13 probably later afternoon?

[fujimaru]

It's fine! ヾ(•ω•`)o
I'm just in my room right now, did you want me to meet you somewhere?

Day 16 idk when exactly

[endtheirworld]

[ appearing suddenly draped over Ritsuka from behind is basically just how Sirin is greeting her from now on

which is to say that's what's happening. ]

Ritsuka Fujimaru. I demand an explanation.

Re: Day 16 idk when exactly

[fujimaru]

...??

[ well she doesn't drop her ice cream but it's a near thing, so you know. safe. ]

Abouuuuut what?

day 16

[starcinoma]

[ knock knock motherfucker guess who's at your door ]

[fujimaru]

[ This is better than when Sirin showed up and nearly made her drop her ice cream. Ritsuka opens the door, dressed in about the frumpiest hoodie and sweatpants known to man. ]

Hi.

after the groupchat

[virtualsystem]

[sorry ritsuka

AIOS is going to materialize out of your phone and immediately try to get between Ritsuka and any windows.]

Don't even think about it!

[fujimaru]

[ What she had actually done was gone to get an ice cream bar from the vending machine, so she yelps and almost drops the phone. ]

Wha--?!

After day 16 sea monsters

[markofkaine]

you alive?

Re: After day 16 sea monsters

[fujimaru]

[ in response, she sends him a selfie: she's at one of the vending machines, holding up a pocari sweat ]

Yeah
Glad you are too

Day 16, sometime afternoonish

[mykingdomfor]

[ She broke the promise. She didn't expect otherwise. She expected to break it from the beginning. But she broke the promise made to somebody who cares about her. ]

Would you still like to eat together?

Re: Day 16, sometime afternoonish

[fujimaru]

[ What Ritsuka doesn't know (yet) won't upset anyone. ]

I would! ♪(^∇^*)
After all that earlier I could definitely use some food
Maybe downstairs, though, instead of the Margaritaville

Day 17

[burneracct110]

Hey nerd
Ur Stelle and AIOS' "master" or whatever right
Give location
I just want 2 talk

Re: Day 17

[fujimaru]

Yes?
Uh, who is this??

day 17ish

[avestan]

so idk why im bothering to bring this up
its really not any concern of mine
but have you considered that bringing aios back with you might be kinda problematic

Re: day 17ish

[fujimaru]

[ IMMEDIATELY: ]

I have yes
Until like yesterday I didn't think anyone but Dan Heng was coming with us

Day 18, morning

[cultfavorite]

[He knew who left him that care package! It had Ritsuka written all over it! Figuratively. In any case, in exactly the same manner, a care package is being left at her door:

- a bottle of lavender and vanilla bubble bath
- a fragrant bouquet of pink and orange and peachy roses
- a small, rich, fancy chocolate cake for one

He does not sign the note, but he does leave one:]

Treat yourself kindly.

[fujimaru]

[ What does she do about this! Avenger had asked her has anyone done this for you? and she'd told him no with every confidence it wouldn't happen. People generally don't pay much attention to Ritsuka unless she's either an obstacle to their goals or useful in obtaining something they want. Or they're her Servants.

More than anything, though, it's the flowers that have her sitting on the floor of her room for a solid five minutes, just holding them and looking at them, occasionally burying her face in them because she's not actually sure they're real? But apparently they are??

It's not too difficult to determine who gave her these, either. Not with that note. So maybe about half an hour later, there's a text response: ]

Thank you

Morning, Day 19

[mykingdomfor]

[ A belatedly knock
and dash of retribution! Left at Ritsuka's door is a care package containing:

- An assortment of sugary, energy boosting snacks, mostly candy.
- Lightly scented body moisturizer
- Bags of rose flavored tea. ]

Re: Morning, Day 19

[fujimaru]

[ HOW COULD IT BE THAT ANYONE WOULD RETALIATE AGINST HER LIKE THIS? ]

Sayo-sannnnnnnnn (┬┬﹏┬┬)
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu

Day 21

[endyourstory]

Hiiiii give me your location

Re: Day 21

[fujimaru]

?????????
Why?

day 25

[virtualsystem]

[There's no fanfare or even anything to show her arrival this time.

Just that, the next time Ritsuka tries to use her phone, the phone screen is locked... Because AIOS is visible behind the lock screen, clearly sulking.

She's not going through the phone or anything, she's just sitting there, legs to her chest.]

[fujimaru]

...

[ She considers this for a moment, then taps a finger gently against the screen. ]

Hey. What's up?
