[ what's up, jiji

shinobu is in the giftshop, checking out all the things that can be sold. she is five seconds away from dropping the snowglobe in her hands on her feet because her fingers are going numb.

or they were already numb but she can only fight the numbness for so long. ]

[unsaid]

[shinobu why




mikazuki, utterly betraying everything he's said about being an old man, quickly crosses the distance to catch the snowglobe just before it falls]

Stunned by its beauty?

[he asks, but there is a clear concern in his gaze when he looks to her]

weekend 0, sunday

[unsaid]

[literally like

an hour after rooms open jiji is finally paying visits. he will knock on shinobu's door, dressed far more regally.]

Shinobu Kocho, might you be in?

[wisterin]

[ did it take him an hour to change or an hour to find someone to help him change

she opens her door. she's dressed in a kimono but everything butterfly-themed is gone. ]

My, you look even more resplendent, Mikazuki-san. Would you like to come in?

week 0, monday

[ 16. You open the door and find yourself inside a confessional booth - one of you in the position to confess, one in the position to listen to the confession. The door will not open to let you out no matter how hard you try. You must confess at least one sin - and honestly, at that - in order to be let out. Once you do, you will find yourself back out in the hallway. No matter how long it took you to confess your sin, only four minutes will have passed.

this seemed neat

mikazuki will find himself at the confessional booth along with shinobu - i have no preference on who gives a confession i've decided they must both confess before they are set free.

but he laughs faintly,]

Ha ha ha. These rooms truly twist to any matter of the imagination, don't they...

[wisterin]

[ they must both confess is good.

has shinobu ever been inside a western church? has jiji? she is frowning in confusion except maybe it's a little hard to see because of the confessional booth screen. ]

I'm not sure I understand this imagination.

week 0, friday

[unsaid]

[our cursed elevator.

mikazuki is sitting somewhere, anywhere. he has a drink in a to-go cup. he nods in greeting when he sees shinobu.]

What are your thoughts, Shinobu Kocho?

[wisterin]

[ she will seat herself next to him. ]

Expected, as much as it pains me. It hurts more because it is Flayn.

week 0, saturday

[wisterin]

[ having tea after trial is a mood. demon slayers probably drink tea after getting all cut up, so she can't scold him for this, but she can look at his cheek in concern.

she had no doubt he can handle himself in a fight, but... ]

Mikazuki-san, are you alright?

[unsaid]

[yea!! honestly shinobu is one of the few people that jiji would openly request medical help from

despite this,]

Ha ha ha.

Is there a reason why I would not be?

week 1, saturday

[wisterin]

[ hello, unburied grandpa.

wherever they happen to be together, shinobu is carrying a to-go cup of tea and dropping flower petals behind her. ]

This is a little tiring.

[unsaid]

[mikazuki's gaze follows to the petals and he beckons her closer]

I would like to hear your thoughts.

[same as trial, he speaks softly - there's a slight rasp quality to his voice. it's fine]

week 2, thursday

[wisterin]

[ how dare he be in the courtyard by the wisteria

shinobu doesn't think to look for him here first so she's running around until she catches sight of him and sprints over to him. ]

Mikazuki-san!

[ she is so!!! worried!! and concerned!! this is two weeks in a row i have to find out through dm someone shinobu cares too much for is in a cyoa. ]

[unsaid]

[oh.

honestly? shinobu is like - the one person that mikazuki will slow down for... he's been changed, but also.]

Shinobu Kocho.

Might I seek your medical advice?

[so like. he's willing to acknowledge his injuries do, in fact, exist - even though even his simpler kimono now covers his hands and his legs enough that it's almost hard to tell that he was on a cyoa when he's standing still and silent

but the raspy quality to his voice persists]

week 3, monday

[wisterin]

[ shinobu is bringing mikazuki a cup of tea wherever he is. ]

Mikazuki-san! Did you get healed?

[ she's coming to check up on him. either the stardust will aid him in answering this question or not, but now all they are is stardust forever (cw: blood, mentions of vore).

she's going to drop this cup of tea. ]

[1/2]

[unsaid]

[he has been healed - and that's the only reason why he can reach out to steady both her and the tea before it falls. it might still be full of stardust.]

Shinobu Kocho—

[no it's memory time]

week 4, monday

[unsaid]

[i guess we can do a door? either way mikazuki will be wandering about and when he sees shinobu - ]

Ah, Shinobu Kocho.

[he holds his hand out to her... this is any other week...... hilarious]

[wisterin]

[ door it is!

yeah, there is no change here. she takes his hand easily. ]

Are you exploring?

week 4, thursday

[unsaid]

[where is the GIRL after putting futaba down somewhere he's going to check on her

he carries two cups]

[wisterin]

[ she is probably in her room with the door propped open to let anyone come and go today.

she's resting on her bed like a good girl. ]

Oh, Mikazuki-san. Hello.

week 4, friday

[unsaid]

[this is surely fine

mikazuki will be look up at the wisteria tree today, and turning his head when he hears someone approaching. he nods at shinobu in acknowledgement]

Shinobu Kocho.

How is your heart today?

[wisterin]

[ she holds out her right hand to him without a second thought. ]

It's grieving. How is yours?

week 4, post-trial

[unsaid]

[me dying from my tag mountain this is fine

but he'll be in the courtyard after that, taking tea. when shinobu comes by, he will just beckon her to sit with him]

[wisterin]

[ is he sitting a table? either way, she will sit with him and get her own tea. ]

How is your heart tonight?

week 5, friday

[wisterin]

[ are they ever away from the wisteria in the courtyard? would he still be here even after finding sylvain somewhere around here?

shinobu is as angry as she is saddened, as she usually is, but it's more so this week. ]

What do you think, Mikazuki-san?

[unsaid]

[yes, actually. he's still very much in the courtyard, even though his gaze will occasionally roam to a certain patch of flowers in thought.]

... I think that it would be best, if someone did not think they were accomplishing a heroic deed by choosing to act this week.

And so I will hope to avoid such folly.

[but they'll find out in trial, one way or another]

week 5, post-trial

[unsaid]

[yea

he's going to go find her.]

[wisterin]

[ she is all the way up in a wisteria tree. she climbed up with her fractured arm.

she is leaning against the trunk but hiding her face in her haori. ]

week 6, monday

[unsaid]

[he's still wearing his lune robes yadda yadda yadda

but at some point he will guide shinobu over to the sakura tree, smiling up at it as the petals float gently downward]

... if the wisteria is your favored tree, I believe this mine.

There is one just like it, in our citadel.

[wisterin]

Cherry blossoms are lovely. They remind me of a dear friend.

[ she holds out a hand to catch a petal. ]

You could have asked to grow these as well, in the courtyard.

week 6, thursday

[unsaid]

[WELL

WHERE IS SHE

this can be set after pre-curfew but still before curfew ig just for timelines,]

[wisterin]

[ she's in her room! she has a fractured leg, so she's trying not to move from her spot on her bed.

she's just reading a medical textbook in bed, very solemn, very somber. at least she's no longer crying her eyes out. ]

week 6, saturday

[wisterin]

[ are they ever anywhere that isn't the courtyard when someone isn't injured?

anyway, she is looking for him even if he isn't at the courtyard for once. ]

Mikazuki-san?

[unsaid]

[so he's in his room actually

and he answers the door disheveled, pale, the top half of his kimono removed because there are instead white strips of cloth covering his torso

where it's clearly already soaked in blood]

Shinobu Kocho. [his breathing is. a little labored.] If you could - come in, dear.

week 7, friday

[unsaid]

[silly old man hours

which is basically that he's going through the hotel curiously, shifting things around seemingly at random. he lifts up objects and vases to see what's underneath. he peers through bushes. he peeks around pillars....

sometimes you are trying to search for something but are clearly no good at it]

[wisterin]

[


she watches him for a while. every time she tries to reconcile how competent versus how incompetent mikazuki is, she's at a loss. ]

My, what did you lose? Or who?

week 7, saturday

[wisterin]

[ lobby obby obby

still includes the courtyard and the wisteria trees. this is perhaps one of the very few things she'll miss, these trees that are a sign of mikazuki's care for her. ]

Are you still in the mood to cut down typewriters, Mikazuki-san?

[unsaid]

[always with their trees

mikazuki just laughs at that]

Perhaps I just need to grow better at riddles....
