[ good monday! on this fine monday morning, iwatooshi can find rondo out being a jock. by which i mean, he's hard at work swinging his sword! if he doesn't see him right away, well... he'll definitely hear him. ]

Haaah! Hraaaah!

[ loud. but, since iwatooshi is a sword, he can see - clearly, rondo does in fact have a lot of skill with this blade! he can also probably tell with his special sword eyes that he looks like he's compensating for the blade itself. it's like he's not quite used to the shape of this particular weapon just yet, as he will occasionally mess up a stance, then pause, stop, readjust his stance and try again, correcting his own mistakes. ]

[ wow a murdergame... with a murder....

it's friday! and as of friday, rondo is out with his sword. you can probably hear him, honestly - just like earlier in the week, his noises are loud, but they're fiercer than before, sharper than before. frustrated.

across his back, the inky tattoos of the week have multiplied - the shadows and ink coalescing in more than one spot, spattering a perfectly white cloak. not being strong enough to protect the people you care for. not being strong enough to protect the people you care for. not being strong enough to protect the people you care for. not being strong enough to protect the people you care for. ]

[ assuming this is after !! MORNING SWORD SPARS !! and also picking up the cabin mail. but welcome to the island!! rondo is at the barn, sitting on the ground with one of the barn cats he seems to have befriended! he's scritching it behind the ears when he notices he has company, and he looks up and grins. ]

Good morning, Sir Iwatooshi! This is a nice change of pace, isn't it?

[ 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.

[ WANDERING THE VILLAGE RESTLESSLY wow what a day. occasionally he shoots a glance over toward the pyre where erin awaits execution, but rondo is a suitable distraction. he heads right over when he sees him. ]

Rondo-dono. You did well today.

[ protecting the others, keeping erin's attention off the rest. that's probably the best they could hope for, under the circumstances. ]

[ well we love being swallowed up by shadows and thrown face first into a memory, right!!! right!!!!

here you go! iwatooshi is treated to a moment from rondo's life, first.

when the memory itself completes, rondo's hand rests on his heart, and he's looking upwards. ]

[ PRESUMABLY AFTER SWAMP HEALS... iwatooshi's going to keep an eye on the cabin kids tonight, if he can. ]

Feeling any better, Rondo-dono?

[ well!!! it's!!! fine. it's not fine. rondo's outside somewhere! he doesn't have his sword so he's just. here? looking like he just wants to jitter out of his fucking skin, giving off bad animal crossing emotions of storm clouds. his daan! his karlach! his everything! everything is so bad!!!

he looks like he's going to vibrate out of his skin, honestly. he's just - practicing his sword forms? silently, for once, like he has a weapon even though he doesn't. Again. swing. Again. swing. Again. swing. Againagainagainagain ]

[ OUR DOJO!! throws them in here immediately where iwatooshi is absolutely radiating delight. he's so happy. this is his new home. ]

I've been waiting for this to show up for weeks, gahahahaha! Rondo-dono!

[ he falls into a ready stance with a sharp grin. ]

Fight me!

[ wow he's alive for this friday! it's kind of a weird feeling, honestly. rondo can be found after all of that is over in the apartments! his door is wide open, and he's sitting at a desk, writing something. his emotional vibe can be felt from here - a little sad, a lot worried, but mostly okay.

does iwatooshi want to come by? ♥ ]

[ did you think i was joking it's tank behavior day let's fucking goooooo

not yet though we'll get to that. for now they can just Wander the new areas until they run into big daddy, starting at the medical place with a frown as he watches the tv commercials glitch into surgeries. ]

Is it a torture chamber?

[ SURE FUCKING SEEMS THAT WAY. ]

[ weh!!!!!!

well, rondo's coming to visit iwatooshi as soon as he's healed up and settled. he's been playing with the stupid keychain that bonked him in the nose anxiously ever since, but he tucks it in his pocket and comes to knock on his apartment door. you better be resting. ]

... Sir Iwatooshi...?

[ HE'S SO FUCKING SAD!!!! ]

I really thought they'd have a plan for her.

[ why did ashlyn have to bleed out "cola wanted it" WHY ]

[ when he sees rondo he's just going to come up and pick up him in a big bear hug, radiating happiness!! like off the ground. you weigh nothing to him.

the way i started this before the curse free for all and forgot what else he was gonna say this is what you get

hm. well, actually, ] Rondo! If you were to give someone you love a gift, what should it be?

[ iwatooshi can find rondo after the annoucement and the disappearing of the living out on patrol - more specifically, out fighting with a monster! thankfully, the faceless things are not Too Wild (this is not a pyramid head situation), and with a few well placed sword strikes, he manages to dispatch and vanquish the creature with relative ease, stepping back as it departicles or whatever monsters do in fucked up silent hill.

he exhales out, after - and then upon spotting iwatooshi, lights up a little. ]

Sir Iwatooshi...! [ trotting over!! despite the grimness of the moment, there's still a little emotional !! of happiness upon sight. ] So, it's really starting...

[ wow, it's over...

rondo can be found hanging out in the graveyard somewhere, just kind of resting after a tough battle - he's got a concoction from alfyn in one hand, and sheepzantos is here also, cranky but ineffectually just kind of chewing on rondo's cloak.

when he spots iwatooshi, he beams at him and waves. ]

Sir Iwatooshi...! Can you believe it's over...?
