week 0, tuesday morning

[cranelike]

(It's just an ordinary morning out in the city! Everything is fine, everything is normal, it's a good morning when a



Tsurumaru just jumps out from around a corner or something to surprise Yuri,)

Boo!

[senjinrouha]

[ he just immediately punches.



like there’s no fanfare, it’s entirely a reflex. ]

[cranelike]

Uoh!

(And he just stumbles back and holds his face?? The force definitely sent the magpie on his shoulder flying off him. It flaps in the air and twitters aggressively, swooping at Yuri at least once in retaliation. RUDE? VERY RUDE???)

What was that for?!

(He's genuinely surprised???)

[senjinrouha]

[ yuri ducks. at his side, the wolf turns into a lioness and makes a swatting motion at the magpie with her paw. WHO IS THE RUDE ONE HERE?? ]

What was that for??

Week 0, Saturday (post-trial)

[cranelike]

(AT SOME POINT HE'S GOING TO TRACK DOWN YURI AND JUST HOLD OUT HIS HAND.)

Return him.

[senjinrouha]

[ what ]

“Him”…?

[cranelike]

Hachimaru. Return him to me!

[senjinrouha]

[ hachiwhoru.

hachi—-


oh. ]

The keychain?

[ i mean. sure, dude, go wild. yuri will get it out of his pocket and just toss it back to him. sometimes you steal a guy’s magic 8ball and suddenly you find out there’s cannibals around and no one cares about the 8ball anymore. ]

w2, tuesday

[senjinrouha]

[ ROARS IT'S MEMSHARE TIME.

anyway, yuri is over by the garden, rifling through the overgrown herbs like he's on a mission. maybe he is? after so long of not having anything, he's almost desperate to find something in here he can use in the non-perishable food here... or maybe package and take with them? ]

[cranelike]

(Kiku lands a safe distance away from Yuri, perched on the edge of one of the weed infested flower-herb-boxes. Both Tsurumaru and Kiku tilt their heads at Yuri in that same, curious, bird-like manner.)

Are you looking for weeds to eat?

[senjinrouha]

[ hello kiku. hello tsuru. ]

Not weeds, exactly. Herbs.

[cranelike]

(Kiku begins to peck at the weeds! Surely, something as small and delicate as her would be better than Yuri...

Or one would think. She pecks at something in the dirt and curious, Tsurumaru reaches to see what it is which triggers a memory--)

Darkness covers you like a cold, heavy blanket. You don't know how long you've been resting but you think that after all of this time, you can finally sleep once and for all. You are in a tomb, buried with treasures like silk, embroidered balls, and other decorated blades. You linger close to the marker for your master, one center with the main family but smaller than the rest.

Something catches your attention and you look around, alert for the first time in what feels like an eternity. Suddenly, there is moonlight where there had only been darkness. A small group of men enters and begin to rummage through the boxes and urns, taking whatever strikes their fancy.

But one man cuts directly towards you, his decision already made. You are filled with anxiety and desperation as you realize what is happening. You recognize the crest he bears as the same one that put your family in this grave. Even in death, they can't be left in peace. He grabs you firmly, makes his claim, and takes you from your grave. Your spirit cries, you yearn to return to the one you were meant to be with, and you feel like a piece of you list left behind and lost in the earth.

(





... The music probably kills the overall vibe, though.

In the present, Tsurumaru holds the piece of glass Kiku unearthed, fully aware of what has happened.)

Week 2, Saturday (post-trial)

[cranelike]

(Tsurumaru is going to track Yuri down and



slide him one plain rice ball. It's nothing special! Just lightly salted and perfectly shaped with that looks like some sesame on top? It's very simple. )

[senjinrouha]

[ sir?




are you okay? ]

… Thank you? [ i mean it’s free food he’s gonna eat it. ]

[cranelike]

I would ask Nero-kun to make something but he needs to rest still.

(So he made this himself.)

And you? You've had quite the week too.

[senjinrouha]

Yeah, no. Don't bother him. I can cook for myself if needed, but I've already had someone heavily imply they'd be mad if I tried that.

[ snack! ]

... No kidding. Couldn't really predict what would happen with half of it, but here we are.

w3, monday

[senjinrouha]

[ hi eski we're having a pc now.

yuri is near the hookah bar, looking at it with a little bit of a frown. what the heck is this. ]

It looks like a bar, but I have no idea what those things with the pipes are.

[cranelike]

Hm?

(He looks inside. He is a ye olde who has literally never left Japan so?)

The only way to find out is to see for yourself.

[senjinrouha]

True. You coming?

[ he’s heading iiinnnn. ]

Week 3, Thursday

[cranelike]

(After the first group of adventurers arrive, everyone is scrambling to get them taken care of. But there's such thing as too many helpers and when that happens, it's best to find help in other ways.

This is now a med-supply run with Yuri before the second group arrives,)

The first group was bad enough...

[senjinrouha]

Yeah. Two people I knew were missing are still missing.

[ … ]

If Yoo Joonghyuk shows up dead tomorrow, it was probably Kim Dokja and honestly at this point I’d let him get away with it.

He was worried about him. [ what the fuck even is their marriage ]

[cranelike]

Ah, it's the same for me... though, I noticed one other hadn't greeted those that arrived.

... Yoo Joonghyuk isn't the type to die easily.

w7, ??? friday is it i guess

[senjinrouha]

[ man. i guess he’s semi exploring? there’s a little fortune paper in his hands, and he’s just. looking around. what is this place.

at least it looks like they’re rebuilding? maybe? good for them. ]

honestly i dont know what day it is anymore

[cranelike]

(Tosses a peanut at Yuri from?? One of the roofs???)

what year is it?

[senjinrouha]

[ oh.

well he immediately drops dead because he’s injured— no. he looks up. ]

Good view from up there?
