weekend 0, saturday!

[flameguard]

[ now that things have been reappropriated correctly, rondo can be found sitting by the fire. he's dressed in his actual uniform now, hair back in its usual ponytail, looking decidedly more knightly than he did in the weird cult fit! it's actually not that different but that's besides the point. he also has a bigass sword strapped to his waist? it's fine

anyway he's sitting! by the fire!! and when he sees movement, he glances over, and then tilts his head...? was someone there...? that looked like one of cordelia's dresses. so... ]

... Miss, would you like to come warm up by the fire...?

[sootprints]

[ kate has changed into her regular clothes and she's mostly been wandering away from the main paths and landmarks. she seems surprised to be spoken to. ]

... If my presence would not bother you.

[ she steps closer to the fire, and as she does, the flames illuminate... absolutely no facial features whatsoever. there is just shadow. ]

Week 0, Monday

[sootprints]

[ kate can be encountered somewhere outdoors! she's in her regular clothes once again. she tries not to bring attention to it, but along one of her shins is a word in white lettering: FALSE. ]

... It seems we've all been assigned some kind of living arrangements. I hope yours isn't too disagreeable.

[flameguard]

[ she's sooo cute.... rondo is out doing morning training probably - kate can find him swinging his sword. when she addresses him though, he brightens, stopping what he's doing, and gives his usual bow in greeting. ]

Good morning, Miss Kate! [ sunshine... his gaze does flick down briefly to the ink, but it comes right back up to her face because he is a Good and Polite Young Man ] Mm - I'm in the cabin! I can't really complain.

What about you, Miss Kate? Where did you end up sleeping...?

Week 0, Friday

[sootprints]

[ Over by the pyre, there is a second, smaller, darker stream of smoke rising up into the air...

And beneath that, Kate can be found standing by the bulletin board, looking at these two posters. The smoke is coming, of course, from her head, as she gazes silently at them. ]

[flameguard]

[ rondo is also by the pyre today - or, rather, he keeps gravitating back to it. the light of the pyre reflecting back that eerie shade of blue is not eerie, but rather comforting, and it's bolstered his strength as he's made his rounds through checking on everyone. spotting that familiar, smaller stream of smoke gets his attention immediately.

and he hurries over, and calls out softly - ] Miss Kate...? Are you unharmed?

week 0, sat

[flameguard]

[ ourugh. WHAT A TUTORIAL

anyway long after the votes are dropped, rondo can still be found at the pyre. he's not so close to see or talk to boothill, but, his eyes are on the bright blue flame as they have been on and off all day today, and he's seated. he's more subdued than ever - across his chest, a black, inky spot reads it happening twice.

he glances up when he hears footsteps - and when he hears kate, he, despite it all, has a tiny smile for her, and he ducks his head in greeting. ]

Miss Kate. [ :( ] Would you like to sit for a little while...?

[sootprints]

[ she left for a while, but when she approaches again, her clothes are dirtied with soot. as always, it's hard to tell what kind of expression she's wearing.

... but then she lowers her head, lets out a breath, and nods. ]

Yes.

week 1, monday

[flameguard]

[ affectionate week is important but also wherever kate is hanging out today - ]

Miss Kate, Miss Kate! [ rondo is waving her down!!! he has a book under his arm and a big smile on his face. ]

[sootprints]

[ she's exploring the new area! but her shadowy visage probably sticks out way more on a cute tropical island than it does in a spooky foggy town, so she is very easy to spot. ]

Rondo? What is it?

[ in her usual calm voice. but then she sees the book under his arm. ]

Oh? Oh!

week 1, weds

[flameguard]

[ well that was fun and funky fresh huh

anyway it's later in the evening on wednesday and rondo's no longer at the island ceremony. he's sitting by the water at the beach, curled up - really only recognizable because his cloak's hood is pulled up over his head and the sacred flame symbol on the back stands out like a sore thumb.

it's a very solitary moment, an unusual one for someone who tends to be the center of most social gatherings of the group. he has his arms around his knees, and as you get closer, you might hear him... mumbling. ]

... it's just odder to hear you laugh. [ rondo's voice is soft and wet, vulnerable - there's a tiny laugh. whatever he's seeing disagrees, and he flinches. ] When you're saying - no sir. I know - yes, sir. I'm... sorry, sir. I know, sir.

[sootprints]

[ kate seems to have come out to the beach to get some fresh air, away from the festival site. she's walking along the shore and doesn't notice rondo until she's already come very close. ]

Oh--

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt... [ but she trails off as she looks for the second person, the person he was just talking to. surely she just walked in on someone else's pc? bad form, kate. ]

Week 1, Sunday

[sootprints]

[ after the execution ritual, kate comes to find rondo. ]

Oh... Rondo. I was wondering if I may take another look at that book of yours...?

[ and then she hesitates, aware of the horrors we've all just been through. ] ... if this isn't a bad time, that is...

[flameguard]

[ the Horrors....

no its okay rondo seems. mostly okay? he's not as peppy as usual, but. he as always has a smile for her. let him go fetch it! ]

Of course, Miss Kate. Would you like to borrow it for a little while?

Week 2, Monday

[sootprints]

[ hello rondo, it's a lovely day to be unceremoniously yanked into a memory-void!

they see a memory.

(note: the fan translation is not great. "emilyko" should be "emilico." however, if it looks like certain characters are speaking in the third person... that is correct. they are doing that. your character can notice and think it's weird.) ]

[flameguard]

[ this is FASCINATING. pazu this canon is wild. rondo watches all of this with rapt attention, looking occasionally between her and the memory itself, and when it finishes, he says in realization, eyes big and wide. ]

... The coffee?

Week 2, Thursday

[sootprints]

[ wherever rondo is, kate is coming to find him! ]

... Were you able to get your wounds treated...?

[ how does he look... ]

[flameguard]

[ rondo is somewhere resting like a nice boy! probably the cabin. and...they're matchy! kind of. he's back in his knight ardante uniform, so it's hard to tell the total state of his injuries, but kate can see through the opening in his collar that his throat is this blackened, dark color, crackled and burnt. occasionally, it glows a sort of eerie blue.

he's just kind of hanging out, so when he sees kate, she gets a smile - tired, but no less warm. ]

Mm. That swamp's got a few tricks, doesn't it...? I feel a lot better.

Week 2, Sunday

[sootprints]

[ after the execution and camille showing up late with starbucks, kate's just sitting out on a bench near the pyre. she might be easy to miss, wearing a black dress, but she's present and seemingly just trying to catch a breather after the weekend's rollercoaster.

if rondo comes near, she'll look up, seemingly not too lost in thought to see and speak to him. ]

Camille... I thought, when they took her away, that she'd...

[flameguard]

[ the shadowiest shadow...

rondo comes over!! he's also very much ??? considering. whatever just happened in the past few hours, and when he sees kate, he smiles, relieved if a little confused, and nods. ]

I was almost sure that it would be her there with Miss Robin, but... it wasn't. I'm still not exactly sure what happened...?

w3, monday

[flameguard]

[ BOOKS

anyway rondo and kate are standing at the entrance to the academy library. rondo is like. sparkling. ]

- See! See, I knew we'd find one! Look, look at them all!!

[sootprints]

[ if kate had eyes they would be sparkling. also, fit check. ]

We... we really found one! I've never seen so many books in one place...

week 3, thursday

[flameguard]

[ is this safe. ive been on a cyoa already. points gun at you

anyway rondo's in the library on this thursday, and he is.... asleep? just face first asleep in a book. the book appears to be some kind of history book?? i did not think about it that hard.

anyway yeah no he's knocked out and probably about one second from drooling on this book zzzz ]

[sootprints]

[ it's never safe. i could be britting and this is actually a skin-stealing monster again.

but probably not, because kate stops to look at him and... there's a soft, stifled laugh. ]

... You didn't stay here all night, did you?

week 3, sat

[flameguard]

[ actually this is good because a little while after trial, rondo's going to come find kate! he looks... tired. just really tired, after everything went down. ]

...Miss Kate... can I ask you a favor?

[sootprints]

[ she's gone and changed into clean, soot-free clothes but can be found around the town.

she pauses and faces him, and nods. ]

What is it?

wk 4, monday

[flameguard]

[ on monday, rondo is out by the library, shelving some of the books into the correct places. when he spots kate, he perks! ]

Woof! [ Again? ] Miss Kate! It turned out pretty well, didn't it?

[ Oh... that's right, it's a new week. ]

[sootprints]

Woof. [ softly. also, fit check. ]

It did. I think everyone will love it.

[ Oh... it is a new week. ]

wk 4, tues

[flameguard]

[ yay.....!!!!

rondo's out by the docks, after all of that, sitting by the lake. he's probably animal crossing emote-ing the despair clouds but that really kills the vibe. for the most part, once the conversation died out, he's kept his distance and allowed people to come see him if they wanted to, so this is no different.

his thoughts are even blissfully quiet for now, though he sits with his hair down around his shoulders, playing with something between his fingers. hello ]

[sootprints]

[ it's a while later that kate walks by and sees him. she's wearing this, but the edges of the hood have already been blackened with soot. she hesitates a few moments, then walks over to stand beside him, glancing down at what's in his hands. ]

Week 6, Tuesday

[sootprints]

[ kate is out exploring the gy locations! ]

It really does seem like it's better here... It feels a bit unfair.

[flameguard]

Haha... it really surprised me, too. Luckily, now it seems like we can send small gifts to the living, so hopefully we can make things a little brighter for those who remain.

[ maybe we can send them soap. they probably need it.

rondo gives kate a big smile when he sees her though, hand to his heart as he bows. ]

Have you visited many places yet, Miss Kate?

week 6, friday

[flameguard]

[ well!!!! rondo's in the scaresco, looking at big, comfy blankets and black clothes. when he spots kate, he smiles - it's a little more tired than usual, but still good! and then bows his head. ]

Miss Kate, good evening...

[sootprints]

Oh... hello.

[ a bit tired too. but it looks like she's cleaned up since the breakin return! and the cyoa return! haha! ]

Are you here looking for something?

w7, monday

[flameguard]

[ let me know if you want to memshare at all again BUT OTHERWISE

we're here! out and about exploring the new places. rondo's looking at the salon at the moment, one hand resting on the hilt of fisteralda, looking out for weird silent hill disturbances but otherwise. ]

...Less ominous than the other places we've found today...

[sootprints]

[ monday truly happened so much. goes back to simpler times...... earlier-monday. ]

It seems that way...

Is this a place for doing hair and makeup?

[ peering curiously as she sticks close to rondo. ]

week 7, friday

[flameguard]

[ it's friday!

today after all of that, kate can find rondo patrolling around through the fog. when he spots kate, there's a little !! that appears over his head before he hurries over to her. ]

Miss Kate! There appear to be a lot more monsters wandering about - are you heading somewhere? Do you need an escort?

[sootprints]

Rondo...

[ oh. she's realizing that maybe it is a bad idea for her to go out alone like this. she is touched by the offer, though. ]

There is something I wanted to do, but... I wonder if it's a bad idea after all.

Week 7, Saturday

[sootprints]

[ some time after the dust's settled, kate comes over to find rondo.

and she holds out a little envelope that says To Cordelia on it. ]

[flameguard]

[ CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

HE LIGHTS UP IMMEDIATELY ]

Miss Kate! [ AAA ] You remembered! Of course you did, I'm not surprised, but - thank you, thank you so much!

I wrote one for Miss Emilico, it's sitting in my room! I'll have to go grab it.
