Week 4

[airlockedmods]

[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. ))

cw: suicide talk

[everylittlesecret]

Science is safe and it gives me answers people can't. Everyone has a creature comfort and that's mine.

[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

[misanthropicprinciple]

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa, I'm not gonna--no.

[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.

[everylittlesecret]

Yes, but I'm also European and more than fine with people walking around nude, so what's your point?

[.....

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.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Okay but Junpei hears none of that because he's SHRIEKING LIKE A BANSHEE.]

NARI WHAT THE HELL I'M NAKED!!!

[THROWS A WASHCLOTH AT HER!!!!!!!!]

[everylittlesecret]

[Look washcloths can be dodged.

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.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I'm never leaving this shower again.

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

[everylittlesecret]

[Thanks. Now she's laughing again.]

Oh my god, Tenmeowji, are you really that scandalized by being seen naked?

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He peeks out, well-shielded, dripping, and utterly red in the face.]

I'm not European!

[everylittlesecret]

True. This makes me totally wonder if you're a "lights off" kinda guy when you get it on with someone now.

[Not like Yuuri is around to answer that anymore.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

How is this an appropriate conversation to be having with a guy in the shower?!

[screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

[everylittlesecret]

It's not, but hey, you're literally the only person here I can have these convos with.

[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.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He goes thoughtful at that.]

...Anything else of interest?

[everylittlesecret]

There's an art store with very fancy paintings on display. A store based on a comedy sketch called soup, and it has a random rack of clothes amidst all the soup, and so we have access to another kitchen. Sugar Corner is like chocoLit, but it has all kinds of candies, even from our worlds. Stronk is a gym, and totally a meme name. But there is one store that is more amazing than anything else here.

[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!

[misanthropicprinciple]

[IT'S MOTHERFUCKING CHRISTMAS]

...Maybe... I'll hang out sometime tomorrow. See what they've got multiplayer.

[everylittlesecret]

They got a lot of multiplayer. You missed our Mario Kart meeting earlier. Didn't play myself because I have no patience and would probably have punched someone, but it was fun watching the others.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Wow. [He finally ducks back into the shower, though he keeps talking.] Whose idea was that? Were they trying to instigate a murder?

[everylittlesecret]

I don't think Nyactis realized just what kind of game this was, and clearly doesn't come from a world that has it.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[After a pause (pawse), he sticks his head out again.]

Tenmeowji and Nyactis. Should I be jealous someone else is moving in on my cat status? ...My cattus?

[everylittlesecret]

His full name is Nyactis Mewcis Claweum. Would you want a full cattified name like him?

[misanthropicprinciple]

I'm frankly offended I don't have one already, Nyari.

[everylittlesecret]

I am sorry to have offended you, Mewnpei Tenmeowji!

[misanthropicprinciple]

All is furrgiven, Nyari Prrrre!-no Nishitabby.

[A guy with a voice that deep probably shouldn't be able to imitate a cat chirp that well.]

[everylittlesecret]

[THAT

WAS

ADORABLE]

You sure you're not a cat disguised as a human?

[misanthropicprinciple]

You found me out. I'm actually a fluffball piloting the human known as Junpei Tenmyouji from several timelines away through my psychic... paw-ers.

[everylittlesecret]

Oho? Well then, I would say that's impawssible, but we're in space.
