w4, tuesday

[toyska]

[I'M SETTING THIS ON TUESDAY just so I don't overload on Monday-set threads.

But anyway, let's saaaay they are just running into each other in the hall for now! How's sleep ol' Gojou looking, because Childe looks just fine. He's in a good mood this week. Chaos is everywhere. Beautiful.]

Morning, comrade!

[mukagen]

[ Perfect. ]

G'morning.

[ Gojou seems sleepy, but he greets Childe with his usual smile. Then yawns. ]

You're in a good mood?

[toyska]

I am. Things aren't so bad this time.

[Compared to losing his fight skills, and even to heightened indulgences last week--which wasn't too bad, but was still a lot. This week is easy for him, really.]

Are you alright? You look tired.

[mukagen]

Didn't get much sleep! But that's all right. I'm sure sleep debt will catch up to me and it'll count as Sloth indulgence, anyway.

[ The fortunate things, but... He'd prefer to be able to sleep peacefully. ]

Where were you headed?

[toyska]

[Ah. Well, there probably isn't anyone here who doesn't have nightmares or sleep poorly in some way, so that's not particularly surprising. Especially after the week Gojou had.

So he tilts his head in the direction of the elevator.]

Just to investigate a little more. Care to join me?

[mukagen]

[ That is correct. Gojou follows his line of sight and ah. Right. New floor. ]

I'd love to! Are you hoping we get something specific?

[ Mosey to the new floor they go. ]

[toyska]

[To the new floor!]

Well, I've already looked around a little. [It's generally the first thing he does on Mondays, but it takes time to be thorough.] I still like the simulation room and the library the best, as far as entertainment goes. This one has some interesting places though.

[mukagen]

I like those, too! But I also enjoy the dog park and airport.

[ Hmm, which room. Gojou instinctively peeks into all of them, but he lingers on the Life Support room for a bit.

Time to swerve. Other rooms! ]

There's a house! And a modern city, wow.

[toyska]

Those rooms from last week, right? I didn't spend much time in them.

[Because what the fuck is an airport and he doesn't hate dogs, but he doesn't love them enough to go roll around with them either.

And yeah Life Support is creepy as fuck and not exactly the best for a relaxing distraction, so. TO THE HOUSE IT IS.]

Envy was in here baking, yesterday.

[mukagen]

That's fair. You probably don't know the appeal of an airport.

[ Gojou says appeal, but really it's a lot of bad things. Anyway, to the house! ]

Yeah, I remember. I took some muffins. [ Hehe. ] But there's something strange about this room.

[toyska]

I can't say I saw it, no.

[He did not get it.

But he stops in front of a mirror, nodding. Where is the vague shadowy shape... ah! There it is.]

This whole place, really.

[mukagen]

Think we can catch it?

[ This isn't mean. He's just asking a question? ]

[toyska]

How?

[mukagen]

That's something we just have to figure out?

[toyska]

What do you suggest?

[mukagen]

Usually, at home, we lure curses with items that exhume an intense amount of cursed energy, but I don't think this little shadow wants power.

[ mmmmmmmmm. ]

Maybe we ask politely?

[ HE WANTS TO SAY CAUSE HAVOC. ]

[toyska]

[Hmmmm.

There's a long, thoughtful pause. Then he turns back to the mirror, tilting his head slightly.]

Hello?

[This definitely won't work but they can give it a shot.]

[mukagen]

[ Gojou also looks at the mirror and the little shadow wiggles? Before disappearing. Hm. ]

It seems like it'll continue to be shy.

[toyska]

[Keeping his eyes on the mirror, Childe tries to wave a hand in the general space the little shadow appears to be--but of course, there's nothing, and it vanishes quickly anyway.]

I'm not really sensing any malicious intent anyway. [Boring... he will abandon the mirror and go poke around in the spare bedrooms.] I wouldn't be surprised if these were simulations as well.

[mukagen]

Everything seems very real, but I suppose simulations are like that here.

[ He will also get the spare bedrooms, pressing his hands on the mattress. ]

It's all soft, too.

[ CLIMBS... ONTO THE BED... ]

[toyska]

[If Childe was like 10% more of a ham he might make a flirty comment, but fortunately for both of us he is not. (Also Gojou's probably still mourning his boyfriend, so.)

Instead, he just glances over before goes back to nosing around in drawers.]

Are you going to sleep?

[mukagen]

I really shouldn't, but there's something comfortable about this house room place.

[ Maybe because it's somewhat unsettling? He's already lying down on it, more plopped over like a dead rabbit. ]

[toyska]

You can, if you want.

[Here, he'll even snag a blanket, tossing it towards Gojou.]

[mukagen]

Aw, but I wanted to spend time with you! Even though I don't know much about you, I do like you, Childe.

[ me, retching, but it's the truth. Gojou stays dead here. ]

[toyska]

[Your suffering fuels me

But he laughs a little, taking a seat at the edge of the bed and looking a little amused.]

Don't you? I think I've been rather open. [Gojou knows he likes a good fight, and knows he loves his family. That's all that really matters, as far as Childe is concerned.] I'd say I don't mind answering your questions, but that wouldn't be very restful for you.
