week zero, sunday

[survivaltricks]

[somewhere closer to evening, Steph will find herself SUDDENLY ACCOSTED while she is hanging out around cabin ant. it's fine, someone is just grabbing the back of her shirt and yanking her behind the building]

[SECRECY]

[it's just Akira]

Hi.

Do you have a moment?

[vigilantics]

Eeeeee-- oh.

[ it's just akira

she straightens up. ]

Sure, what's up?

[ as if that didn't just happen ]

[survivaltricks]

[WAY TO BE COOL STEPH]

First off--

. . . why do you have a prosthetic leg?

[someone was reading boarding passes earlier]

1/2

[vigilantics]

I...




Like legs?

[vigilantics]

Okay, no, never mind.

I needed one at the castle.

1/2

[survivaltricks]

Oh.

I like legs, too.

[said COMPLETELY SERIOUSLY]

[survivaltricks]

. . . just kidding.

I asked because I needed one back at the mansion, too.

[he has two now, but! he holds out his right leg a bit, as though showing off a prosthetic that he isn't wearing]

week three, tuesday

[survivaltricks]

[who likes rain?? Akira doesn't like rain!! it's a good excuse to hang out in the portal, but today he is returning to cabin de chipmunk for whatever reason. now that Steph has moved in, it's not much of a surprise for him to see her there, too]

Yo, Steph.

You haven't noticed any leaks, have you?

[vigilantics]

I want to be freed from this chore hell.

[ that is enough of an answer, really. ]

[survivaltricks]

No rest for the weary, according to Shadows.

[tilts his head up to squint?? at the ceiling??]

[vigilantics]

Like, it definitely can't be a coincidence that it's every cabin at the same time, right?

[ RIGHT ]

[survivaltricks]

Kind of like it probably wasn't a coincidence that the kitchen kept getting really messy.

[or the animals were especially hungry, or the gardens kept growing too fast. . . Shadows what kind of weird chore powers do u have]

week three, friday

[survivaltricks]

[at some point after being nosy and refilling his slushie at the slushie machine, Akira heads back to chipmunks. . . and isn't at all surprised to see Steph there, too. it's good luck; he had wanted to speak with her without the chaos of confirming curfew effects and fighting Sanji for slushie rights]

Hey. . . Steph?

[vigilantics]

[ she also has a slushie. i hate this.

but when he calls out to her, she looks over. ]

Hi, Akira.

[survivaltricks]

[every pc, a slushie]

Hey.

. . . I'd ask if you're okay, but-- [he gives a helpless shrug. stupid question]

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

It's pretty shitty, yeah.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah.

[he says quietly, voice barely above a whisper]

. . . I'm sorry.

[Hikage last week and Jason this week?? what a mess]

week four, thursday

[survivaltricks]

[I was too busy playing vidya yesterday to react to break ins, but! Akira saw them, and he seeks Steph out once she's had some time to get clean and decompress from. . . whatever happened]

[he finds her in the cabin, which isn't too much of a surprise, and he greets her with a wave of his hand as he rests his shoulder against the doorframe]

Sooooounds like you had a bit of a. . . day.

[vigilantics]

[ she is sitting on her bunk, and just. waves. back. ]

Eh. Another day that ends in Y.

[survivaltricks]

Like all of the other days that end in Y.

[a soft snort]

Doooo you want to talk about what you found?

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

Well, first we found all of the sleeping people. They're all safe, we checked every single one of them. Even hosts are there-- uh. But I don't think that Blue person you guys said was in charge is there? We didn't see anyone that could be them, but those three girls were there.

... and Yu's asleep there, too.

week five, monday

[survivaltricks]

[hi I got distracted by errands and chores. anyway on Monday, after eating breakfast, Akira can be found in his top bunk (????) with his wounded leg wrapped with sheets and towels. he is trying not to bleed all over his mattress]

[it may or may not be working!!]

[vigilantics]

[ steph has had a very busy morning, running around and forcing people to strip, so she will hop back to the cabin and just

fall over

to live on the floor ]

Akira, you good?

[survivaltricks]

[that's]

[valid]

I'm fiiiiiine, don't worry about me.

[a beat]

. . . you good?

[vigilantics]

I'm good.

I got used to having legs again. A mistake.
