week 0, mon

[flameguard]

[ hello erin!! on this fine (?) culty monday, she can find rondo outside of the cabin area! he's sitting plopped on the ground with a big old sword in his lap, and he's cutting up - what looks like the remains of one of those white robes, into strips.

he looks up! and when he sees erin, he immediately smiles and waves. ]

Good morning, Miss Erin! Did you sleep alright?

[ there's a little ink patch on the front patch of his cloak, that casually spells out the words - Not realizing sooner. ]

[underinworld]

I'm sleeping in the theater, with a big clown banner hanging above, and with little to no cushioning.

[Erin is silent for a moment, and she adds:]

I have had worse nights.

[So overall...yeah, she calls this average. Seeing Rondo shredding that into strips reminds her of Alfyn, though!]

Bandages?

[On Erin's arm, she not too worried about it even though it shows through her jacket, it says: 'Still bitter about people forgetting she existed']

[flameguard]

[ help. he laughs a little at that remark, because, relatable. ]

Yes...! I was remarking to the others, the cabin is a bit creaky, but it certainly smells better than the barracks do.

[ oh to be a soldier. as he's cutting the fabric, though, erin gets it right - he nods! ]

You're right! Alfyn mentioned he needed some, so I thought I might help him out. It is in everyone's best interest for an apothecary to have a full medical kit, isn't it?

week 1, mon

[flameguard]

[ if erin in her exploring happens to come by the barn today, she might see rondo there! he's currently standing with the pretty horse, and has a brush in his hand as he brushes out its coat. the horse seems to vibe with this.

when he realizes he has company, he pauses briefly in his motions and waves with his free hand. ]

Good morning, Miss Erin.

[underinworld]

You look like you're right at home, Rondo.

[People generally don't brush horses just for the fun of it. This must be something Rondo must be familiar with already, Erin is sure. She looks around in the fields, smiling a bit nostalgic]

This island is far better than the village. Reminds me of nice things.

[flameguard]

Actually, would you believe me if I said this was the first time I've been to a farm for real? But this is familiar.

[ he gives the horse a pat. ] We do a lot of our traveling by horseback, when we have to go really long distances.

[ probably. i am making this up but it makes sense to me. anyway. ]

What nice things? I think here, we can use as many of those as possible.

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 here 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. ] Yes, sir. I... no, I can - I can...

[underinworld]

[The tea and its effects got Erin distant, she trying to shove down everything because, well, she refuses to have weaknesses in public, and things were too public around the may pole. She wandered towards the beach, finding once another overwhelmed person.

This day is starting to turn into a time...]

Rondo, knock knock.

[She taps him on the shoulder, unsure. She has never been prepared to deal with any of this]

[flameguard]

[ oh -

well. when he's tapped on the shoulder, rondo startles and lifts his head... and erin see his eyes are wet with unshed tears. he was looking past her, but his vision refocuses and, after a moment, he manages a shaky smile and rubs at his eyes. ]

.... oh. Miss Erin... hi. [ softly; ] Um... sorry.

[ though his gaze flicks past her briefly, it comes back. ]

week 1, friday

[flameguard]

[ i hate to drop another sad rondo tag on you but that's what this is

rondo is at the pyre again after the posters appear. he's got a wet cloth pressed his cheek, and is pretty much just staring into the blue fire, mouth pulled into a tight line, shoulders stiff, though his expression is like - clearly, obviously upset, his brows knit together.

it's fine. everything is fine! nothing is fine. ]

[underinworld]

[Erin is kind of feverishly drying her hands with a towel, really. Scrubbing over and over. Wandering around aimlessly, she ends up at the blue pyre, seeing Rondo]

...what happened to you?

[You have a wet cloth on your face. Something wrong, Rondo?]

[flameguard]

[ ue... he startles a little when he's referred to, and then looks up at erin, watching her for a moment before he shakes his head. ]

... Um... bees. It's - fine, I'm okay. It doesn't really hurt...

week 1, saturday

[flameguard]

[ BEATS YOU UP WITH MY BABY FISTS

rondo's...here! he actually probably hasn't left the pyre much, just kind of. sitting here, vibrating a little bit, and once people have cleared out, he comes up to the edge of the barrier and says - ]

...Miss Erin... I'm so sorry.

[underinworld]

[Erin, still very fishy and all despite what the icon shows, sighs like she can't believe that's what Rondo says right after arriving]

If it's because of the stab I have a hard time figuring what you're sorry for. Are you sorry you stabbed me or that it didn't kill me?

[Rude question to ask]

[flameguard]

[ i dont know what to tell you this is rondo protagonist behavior

but, immediately and emphatically: ] I'm sorry this had to happen at all.

w4 sun!!!

[flameguard]

[ jk we can change this now to sunday!!

on sunday, rondo seems to be doing much better than he was yesterday. he's puffy eyed and tired, but he's sitting in the gacha store, spinning the little wheel... and eventually taking out a little capsule! it's.... a geto!

and then... again!

and it's... a rondo! ]

...Oh. [ oh! ]

[underinworld]

Oh, right, the lucky thing.

[Hey, Rondo, looks like you're finding out the wonders of gacha!]

Ever saw anything like this before? Leaving aside it gives you trinkets with your face on it.

[flameguard]

[ the comedy is that he's from a gacha game.

he shakes his head, slightly wondrous. ]

No... nothing. This place is overwhelming, but... many of the places we've been are. These are cute, though...! It's a nice way to think of everyone.

Week 4 --- Tuesday

[underinworld]

So this is it? No hidden tricks nor anything bad in this place?

[She is exploring Costco! She had gone there, wary of what put the 'scare' in Scareco, but so far...? Nothing terrible has happened yet. There she is, staring at a slice of pizza, looking at it like she expects it to be devious and dangerous]

Rondo, have you noticed anything off about this place?

[flameguard]

[ help. rondo is halfway through a giant churro already, pausing with his mouth full like a squirrel. ]

Huh?

[ clearly.... clearly he has not noticed anything off..... ]

[underinworld]

You didn't think about it, did you.

[She stares at Rondo like she expects him to suddenly start meowing like a cat because the churrors are bewitched or something]

week 5, sat

[flameguard]

[ what a day. erin can catch rondo outside of the dojo, after all is said and done! he's sitting down outside, stretching, sans his cloak and with his uniform collar open. he's still a little injured, but he seems relatively okay?

his emotional vibe is like. tangled up and messy, sad and tired, but... he's ok, all things considered. he looks up when he sees erin, though, and gives her a little smile and a nod of his head. ]

Miss Erin... hi.

[underinworld]

[Erin stops when she encounters Rondo, giving him a look-over]

...it takes one look at you to see you're exhausted. Maybe you should go rest already.

[And she doesn't mean exhausted physically, that's for sure. Emotionshare doesn't lie! Erin is still all resigned, which is better than feeling sad, she'd say. No time for moping]

week 6, monday

[flameguard]

[ we're in delululemon today! and rondo is looking at one of the mirrors. he's a jock, so looking at athletic clothes is normal for him, but... in the mirror, his alternate self looks like

this!



he's wearing a little fancy rich boy outfit, with ruffled sleeves poking through a very expensive looking coat, and a cravat, standing tall and proud. rondo himself, who is currently in his knight ardante uniform, raises and lifts his own arm as the him in the mirror also raises and lifts his own arm. what. ]

[underinworld]

[Rondo, golly...]

...what do you think of what you see, Rondo?

[Erin isn't entirely sure what to think of Rondo's reflection there]
