hasteful | roxana for endgame!!!! (aspirational)

[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...

[ Once it gets too late in the night, Roxana will be so scarce from wildly swinging emotions, but for now, she can pretend she can't see eyes. ]

I think I overheard Meteion saying she had it before, but I don't know if that's the case now.

[ If that Santa jacket was left in Sunrise or if it got moved. ]

I hope Dreamer didn't cause the other three to refract, too, and that's our next surprise.

Mm, it should be in Sunrise. We can double-check with everyone tomorrow. One of us can retrieve it, just in case we might need it.

[it'll work out, he imagines. buzen is... calm but he's always calm once the initial rage fades away. there's enough people panicking now that he knows the role he has to play.

he will just text roxana later in the night once the refraction gets worse it's fine]

Being attached to their items could've protected them... maybe. We'll see. At the very least, we should try to reach Momo-san and them. We'll need all the help we can get.

[ Roxana is also calm and thoughtful even if she is full of spite still. She didn't murder despite not being refracted to end up refracted?

She nods. ]

I think those items will be important, and if there is a way to get the Residents back to normal...

The more of us that can stand against whatever Dreamer is trying to do with the prism, the better.

[roxana your spite......... she can gather all her weapons, buzen honestly just keeps his sword with him at all times, so he'll try to occupy himself with something else to do.]

Strength in numbers, right? We're all back on this side at least, so we can try to organize and rally as best we can.

[ . . . looking around her little deda house]

Want me to make you tea or something while you're preparing, Ro-san? [a beat, then softer:] Ro... -sama....?

[ She is doing her best to strategically accessorize. Or like, trying to find a purse or bag that best suits. Mobility is important to her, too. ]

You may drop the honorifics. I don't need the title to know how you view me.

[ But she's not going to fight it if he insists after this. ]

I'll take the tea.

[off to make tea he goes then.....

and thoughtfully, confusedly]

... Ro....?

[that's so informal wow]

If you don't like it, you can call me as before.

[ Whatever honorific he feels is best for their relationship. ]

It doesn't matter too much to me.

[he just laughs a little at that, even as he lets the water boil....]

I don't mind it. I'm not used to interacting with humans in general for this long, so I've never thought about changing how I address you...

Are there any names you like to be called?

[buzen just settled on 'ro' because he was scared of the x in her name]

[ he is afraid of the x in her name, but the nickname her family (the family she actually likes and cares for) calls her by is xana.

She shakes her head. ]

I'm not attached to my name.

[ Because her father named her.

But it has a nice meaning. ]

[yea that's scary he could never.... buzen can barely manage 'vax' because it's one syllable]

Ro it is then, unless you ever want something else.

Is there anything else you'd like me to take care of today? I was going to scout and regroup with some others until we got a better idea of how to tackle the problem...

[ every time he is a stupid himbo is a wrong dialogue choice, but he makes up for it other ways. ]

Go scout and talk to others. The gumball I received after coming back is colorful. It dispenses color after transformation, and it seems to be something that some other gumballs do, too.

I want to know if this is common from others this week or not, but that may be something we can find out when we can all meet.

[ even if dreamer is likely watching. those many, many eyes. ]

[he is constantly a stupid himbo so i can only imagine how often he has to make up for it,]

Ah - me too... Mine turns me into a big cat, and I can locate one thing that we're meant to find. [a beat] Uh, but I'll want to play for ten minutes first, so I should use it sooner rather than later.

[THE WAY THAT THIS IS SUCH A STRANGELY FITTING GUMBALL FOR BUZEN]

Suki and Kiyo-san got similar, so I think that's pretty common this week.

[ She hates this addendum. She closes her eyes. This may as well happen. ]

It suits you.

[ (derogatory) (fond) ]

The prism wants us all to be colorful animals.

[ Or whatever controls the gumball machine does (mods). ]

That’s mean, Ro.

[HE CAN HEAR THE DEROGATORY but he’s at least amused about it]

Apparently… But the bursts of color might be good, right? I was thinking that Dreamer-san might’ve gotten this powerful just because they kept getting a lot of color from us…

Or at least part of it. The journal is probably important too.

I am mean.

[ She fully acknowledges it. His master is a bitch. ]

I'm only worried if he can take that color somehow, too, but it'd be counterproductive if we were given things that wouldn't help us.

[ She nods. ]

We may have to take the journal from him, if he hasn't already used it to its full extent.
