Week 4
[After everything that this case was, you probably don't want to deal with anything else. But you wake up on Sunday, just like before, with some new memories, and some new stores to check out.
Let's see what this week brings.]
Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday
(( Don't forget to check in, and check your memory regains! You can also stop by the gacha machine and Xander's office hours. ))

[What kind of flower would suit Junpei from what she remembers from memories and now?]
The frangipani, or plumeria, might suit you best. The main meaning I'm going with is for the strength to withstand tough challenges. Even if your show of personal strength is through introspection and holing yourself up until you feel well enough to be around others. That's far from a weakness, and no one can get mad at you for that.
no subject
[Not today, not yesterday. Maybe never again. He's made so many promises, and...]
What's a fringeyfrangey look like? Before I agree to something pink.
no subject
It did feel nice to be called Ducky again.]
Right... [Would a pink flower really be that bad?] The beauty of frangipani is that naturally they are white and yellow. When you see Hawaiian leis, and there's those different colors? That's all careful dyeing. They could be any color you want. They kind of look like a star with five oval petals. Very simple.
no subject
...A star...
[Five petals. Five. A simple flower. He closes his eyes and tries to remember what the sun feels like, thinking of Hawaii, of sand on the American West.]
Sure. That sounds fine. ...My favorite colors are red and blue, but I'm not picky about that kind of thing.
[Simple colors. Hero colors.]
no subject
Red and blue...]
Good colors. Pretty sure that there's people back where I'm from that have bred them to bloom in those colors. Fuck if I know how they do it, I'm more into botany than horticulture. [She taps her chin a few times.] I think I should visit the flower store before I go to bed later.
[She's refusing to call it by its name. Blossom was her nickname for Yuuri. It's too painful to say right now...]
no subject
[It's too painful to say any of her names right now.]
What's the difference between botany and horticulture, anyway?
no subject
Claire I am going to kill you]Horticulture is a science and art. Things like plant conservation, landscape restoration, and all that goes into landscaping and arboriculture. Botany on the other hand is just a scientific study of plants, like what makes them up, distribution, their classification, and economic value. I couldn't care less about making a pretty garden. I care far more about how each plant interacts with each other, and what might kill another plant if they are in the same area and such.

[After a while, Junpei turns off the water. Easier to talk that way. His voice softens in the ensuing silence.]
Nari, I'll level with you. I know... I know what I do is important to everyone, but I don't think I can take this much longer.
cw: suicide talk
[Oh? The water turning off is a little worrying...]
... To be honest, I don't know either. [This is all too hard.] I'll tell you my thoughts on this, in case you want to let go: I won't stop you. You're an adult. It's your decision what to do with your life or when you choose to do something to end it. If you're in so much pain that you feel like you can't go on, and don't want to go on... Yes, I would miss you, a lot. But your life is yours, not mine, to do with what you want. All I ask is that if you decide to go through with it that you try not to take someone with you. Not unless it's consensual, of course. You're not the only one here with the possible inclination for such actions.
[This is a little rough, but at least it's honest.] If you decide to stick around, you know you can come to me for anything. Hell, if you need to sleep around people, I don't think Fukawa would mind an impromptu sleepover if it's to comfort someone.
cw: suicide talk
[Wait, what is he objecting to--]
You and Fukawa are girls.
[Ah. There's more to it, but Junpei's holding that close to his chest right now, arms literally wrapped around himself even though his stall's still warm and steamy.]
And I'm not... it's not like that. I just... I don't know how much longer I'm going to be helpful, that's all. Last time, I was coming up from rock bottom. I got better in there, Nari. But this time...
...I just want you to know. That, the way things are going, I think the next memories we get back may knock me out as your Gibbs.
no subject
[.....
Junpei, hope you don't mind her suddenly peeking her head into your stall.]
Nope. Doubt it. You are stuck with that. Even Gibbs had moments like this in the show, and even tried to leave the team for almost half a season before he came back because he realized that deep down, no matter how much that one case fucked him up, people wanted him around because they love and care for him. You can be Gibbs even if you don't investigate, or need to go hide away. I don't mind doing all the work if I have to.
no subject
NARI WHAT THE HELL I'M NAKED!!!
[THROWS A WASHCLOTH AT HER!!!!!!!!]
no subject
Nari does duck out and all Junpei will hear is just laughter.
For quite some time.
Which doesn't end until she's on the ground gurgling.]
..... I forgot laughing too hard can make you sick. Holy fuck. Thank you.

[SppppSPPSHHHHHHH, says the showerhead as it turns back on.]

Oh my god, Tenmeowji, are you really that scandalized by being seen naked?
no subject
I'm not European!
no subject
[Not like Yuuri is around to answer that anymore.]
no subject
[screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]
no subject
[Time to get up.]
You're stuck as my Gibbs, even if you think you'll be useless. Got it? Make sure you eat something other than junk food, and there's a laundromat here now if you need to wash clothes.
no subject
...Anything else of interest?
no subject
[WAIT FOR IT]
They gave us console video games.... sadly, the TV's in there don't receive any outside signals, but hey, I can play Fallout again!
no subject
...Maybe... I'll hang out sometime tomorrow. See what they've got multiplayer.
