week one, monday.

[siblingless]

[WELL... I GUESS MONDAY WILL BE A SURPRISE. The whole ass room layout has changed on top of the roomie swap, so that's the first thing she's going to notice as she crawls out of the pod.]

H-Huh? [HER ROOM? HER ROOM??? Nani, the fuck.] Where...?

[yamantaka]

[ this is probably not the worst surprise, at least for shimas once he finds out, but definitely waking up and seeing the pod is a shock. ]

--Did everything change?!

[siblingless]

[Oh. That's not Hua Cheng's voice. She immediately spins around to face him, her eyes widening as she takes a step back.]

W-W-What... Shima-san? Why are you in my room?!

[yamantaka]

Huh? This is my room!

[ he. is considering his options and perhaps staying in his bed is probably the safest option for now until they figure things out?? ]

[siblingless]

Your room?!

[Can't believe Shima is now forced to social distance in his own pod. Unfortunate.]

No way... I'm sure I went back to my room last night.

[yamantaka]

And same here!

[ it's for his own good ]

Did... something happen when they changed how the rooms look?

[siblingless]

I...

[Goodbye forever, Shima.]

I don't know. Should we ask a leader? I'm sure there must have been a mistake.

[yamantaka]

We probably could.

[ a beat ]

I don't mind the change, but it'll be weird if this keeps happening every week.

[siblingless]

... I think it would be too disorientating for me if that were the case.

[Oh, god. Realm, her anxiety.]

Furthermore, are all our belongings here?

[yamantaka]

It'll be something if that's the case.

[ does she want a massage? does that help? ]

I... maybe?

[ ok time to dig through his stuff ]

...I don't remember my clothes looking like this.

[siblingless]

[????

She will step closer to look at whatever it is he's doing.]

What do you mean?

[yamantaka]

[ pulls out and shows off his new galaxy print pants ]

They're... well, they're like this.

week one; post execution

[yamantaka]

[ WELL.

WELL.

whenever sumi gets back shima is just going to be pacing a lot in their room. he's just quietly cursing under his breath. ]

[siblingless]

[Oh.

This sure is a thing to return to.]

Shima-san...?

[yamantaka]

[ when she walks in, he jumps slightly, not paying attention ]

Oh, Kasumi-chan! Welcome back!

[siblingless]

[SLOWLY... BLINKS...]

Were they... not like this before?

[siblingless]

[SIR...

She frowns a little.]

... Yoshizawa, please. [Does she not like getting first named? A mystery.] Are you alright?

[yamantaka]

Not at all!

[yamantaka]

Hmm, just a bit rattled [ handwave ] by everything.

The past two days have been more unexpected than I would have liked.

week two, saturday.

[siblingless]

[... WELL, WELL. FORMER ROOMIE. This sure is awkward. For the record, Yoshizawa will leave some food and drinks with the NPCs for him. But before he gets his murdering little hands on that, she will come visit him in the employee lounge.]

Shima-san... [Sounding pretty sad? This sucks.] Were you ordered to kill by one of the leaders?

[yamantaka]

Ah, that was a direct question, wasn't it?

[siblingless]

It was. Please, will you answer it?

[yamantaka]

I certainly was.

[siblingless]

... Then, it's just like what happened with Ichinose-san and Cater-san. [Ah, that's depressing.] May I ask who your leader is? Or, the one who ordered this? I promise, I don't intend to tell anyone else, or give them a hard time. I would just like to speak with them, and... make sure they're okay.

[yamantaka]

... It was Fox.
