week 0, sunday

[hasteful]

[profiles time!!!! or literally anything else there's so much going on

either way he's going to start jogging toward roxana once he sees her]

Ro-san!! They really threw a lot at us all at once, didn't they?!

[disingenuous]

[ There really is so much going on. Roxana has removed all her hair accessories and is sporting the new flower crown for a change of pace.

She is fiddling with her new phone and looks up when she hears him. ]

Hello, Buzen. It's quite the welcome for people who didn't know to expect us.

week 0, thursday

[hasteful]

[what floor are the metallics on it's really up there right - well that doesn't seem to matter because there's going to be a knocknock coming from the staircase!!!!!]

Buzen Gou, requesting entry!!

[at least there's not much time to wonder who's visiting!]

[disingenuous]

[ It doesn't take her long to open the door and let him in. He's getting his legwork in since the metallics are on the ninth floor. ]

Request granted. Have you been doing this to everyone?

week 0, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ they could be anywhere.

She motions for him to come over to her the moment she sees him. ]

How are you feeling?

[hasteful]

[he's probably already running around, a little too fast - given the way that he overshoots and runs right past her and has to double-back sheepishly]

Ro-san...

[he pauses, laughs]

Been better. You?

week 1, monday

[disingenuous]

[ The moment Roxana catches sight of Buzen in or near the infinity closet, she hails him down. ]

Buzen, I need you.

[ His arms, more specifically. She wants him to carry all her figurative shopping bags. Until she tells a sad story. ]

[hasteful]

Ro-san!

[he - well he tries to run over, but after a little wobble he... slows his pace with a pout. he can't go fast....]

... sorry for the delay... What is it?

week 1, friday

[hasteful]

[well that happened didn't it! buzen is investigating - somewhere. anywhere. like he can have any hope for answers, yet even as he does so there's something so distinctly tense in his shoulders. his gaze is sharp and so little of him holds that same near perpetual friendliness that he carries with him.

it eases only slightly when he sees roxana]

Ro-san - are you okay? Are you hurt?

[disingenuous]

[ It certainly did happen.

There is always a sharpness to Roxana, so she isn't too different than usual. ]

I'm fine. I'm not hurt. I only wish we didn't have to wake up to this news.

week 1, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ Wherever Buzen is, he is going to find Roxana leaning against a wall, her arm propped against it as if she's holding herself up. The moment she senses his presence, she stands tall and smiles at him like nothing's wrong. ]

Shall we go on another walk?

[hasteful]

[ . . . he huffs out a breath and tilts his head]

You don’t trust me to carry you? I don’t know if you should be on your feet, Ro-san.

[gently - because girl you alright there]

backdated week 2, thursday

[hasteful]

[i'm so scared ara

anyway buzen is going to just be. anywhere? anywhere. he perks up whenever he sees roxana, regardless. he automatically holds his hand out to her, probably because it's touch week]

Yo, Ro-san. Is it me or is today kinda busy?

[get busy living or get busy dying, you know?]

[disingenuous]

[ what is there to be scared of you are so lucky you're dead?

She looks at his hand and takes it gently in hers because it's touch week. ]

There seems to be few new additions here and there. The flower in the cemetery is quaint.

[hasteful]

[sometime after trial, a text will come through! it will be dated to just a few minutes after curfew on thursday from username @ usernotfound. however characters will not find they do not have the option to reply.]

AWAKE
I’LL TRY TO WIN BUT
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS

RAISE HELL
I’LL MEET YOU IN THE FLAMES
AND STILL HOPE THAT ONE DAY YOU FIND PEACE
I DON’T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU TO BELIEVE IN YOU
I TREASURE ALL YOU GAVE ME
IF I COULD HAVE CHOSEN MY OWN MASTER
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOU

week 5?????? what weEK IS IT, sunday

[hasteful]

[a secret.

just enough that he's not sure if he'd like to admit it - but he'd promised to keep her secrets, and he hopes that she'll still keep his.]

... I'd wanted for you to win.

[and that's about as selfish as he ever gets.]

[disingenuous]

[ Oh.

She curls into him more. She knows enough of the alive think she was refracted, and she didn't do much to dissuade them, but that doesn't mean she didn't want to win.

It doesn't mean her desire to survive couldn't be acknowledged even if the logic is the refracted should die. ]

... So much I do is to win, to live. It made me feel like... everything I've done was being erased.

[ If someone remembers you, you exist.

If she doesn't survive, does she exist? It may be as selfish as he gets, but it's the selfishness that she holds closest. ]

week 6, monday

[disingenuous]

[ It shouldn't be a new or unfamiliar sight to anyone anymore to find Roxana fallen to her knees, bent over and coughing. At least this time it's not blood?

It's not red that speckles her surroundings.

Lilac petals slip around her fingers. She watches them fall to the ground with a cold expression. ]

[hasteful]

[please make this stop

buzen is immediately rushing over to her and he truly doesn't even know what the weekly effect is but it won't stop him from automatically kneeling next to her. he reaches an arm out in case she may need it for stability]

Ro-san...?! Are you not feeling well again? Should I get Chang-san...?

[doctor? DOCTOR?]

week 6, post-trial

[hasteful]

[the fact that garou really signs himself up to endure the worst of buzen whenever he's angry is so funny.

but it's honestly a good solution for him. he'll still drop by roxana's room before he retires for the night, knocking on the door]

Ro-san. It's Buzen. Permission to enter?

[disingenuous]

[ buzen and garou becoming fight besties is the cutest. (they are beating each other up really bad) the cutest. ]

You can come in.

[ roxana is just here, nursing minibar wine for the fun of it. ]

Did you get your energy out with Garou?

week 7, post-party games....

[hasteful]

[buzen will do as promised and as things wind down he'll go to find roxana, offering his arm out to her]

Had fun?

[disingenuous]

[ She places her hand on his arm, as usual. ]

It's rowdier with everyone back together, but it was nice to watch.

week 7, friday

[disingenuous]

[ It'd be really funny if after she agreed to be his master she didn't call for him after something major happened.

He gets a text from her, telling him to come to her deda house. She's picking up all the weaponized accessories people made for her whenever he arrives. ]

I don't know if it'll be a straightforward fight when we find him, but we may as well prepare.

[hasteful]

[that'd be so funny - but buzen will be running in shortly after the text is sent. his sleeves are rolled down today, like that'd be enough to get him to not want to stab his own arms where the eye tattoos keep appearing.]

Yeah. We have all the items that are attached to Momo-san and the others, right? I think we were just looking for the... Santa one...? So if we can bring all of that over when we gather tomorrow...

last night pc

[hasteful]

[at some point, he'll go to find her!

off to the café it is - and he actually looks around, marveling for a bit since this only appeared after he died - but then he'll approach her table with a smile]

Permission to join you?

[disingenuous]

[ The cafe is very cute spot for Roxana that she likes to vibe and have boba in. She has boba now because if they get to go home tomorrow, she won't get to have it anymore.

She returns his smile. ]

Permission granted. I don't think tomorrow will be disappointing.

[ If the Prism shoots down her one time being optimistic, it will be funny. ]
