w0, SUNDAY

[sharkgirl]

[there is a pink girl sprawled out on top of the vending machines, arm dangling off the side...

she's staring at her phone! wow. fascinating. she's kind of reminiscent of that one armadillo, maybe, but that'd be silly, right.]

[floridas]

[ that's be super duper silly right?

like how there's a flutter flutter and suddenly jolyne is just kinda hovering curiously with some wings. ]

How's the view?

[sharkgirl]

[whoa WINGS

she startles slightly, blinking.]

Huh? Oh. Uhhh, it's great. [...] Did you always have those?

[floridas]

[ she winks and gives a little twirl in the air. i am living my sky dancer dreams. ]

No, but I figured why not at least give these weird powers a try. It's different from the ability I had back home, but... I think I like it!

w0, MONDAY

[sharkgirl]

hey you
come try stuff from the vending machine with me again
there's one with potatoes
and energy drinks

[floridas]

hey you
that sounds dope as 🤡🤡🤡🤡!!!!
i'll be there in a min

[ girl's nyoomin', she even uses her wings to get there and just zooms straight through the door at mach fuck. ]

Wahoo!!!!

[ the communal lobby newspapers just go. flying. everywhere. but she'll touch down wherever nimona is and give a wave. ] Hey, there.

[sharkgirl]

[she cackles when she watches jolyne zoom through the lobby. yeah, her too, she feels it.]

Sup. [a little salute.] The clowns got you too, huh.

[floridas]

Yeah and it [ clown honk ] sucks. I'm like ten horn honks away from going postal.

What've you been up to?

w0, FRIDAY 2

[sharkgirl]

[there is a cat in the konbini, knocking literally everything off the shelves, bit by bit.]

[floridas]

[ jolyne is just drinking an energy drink unhappily, and watching the cat just knock things off the shelf. ]

Yeahhhh get 'em. F&#k this s#&t.

[ she will not stop this naughtiness and instead just cracks open a snack cake packet. ]

[sharkgirl]

[she doesn't answer, she just keeps moving.]

[floridas]

This place blows, I get it.

[ with a sigh she just kinda lifts up off the edge of wherever she's leaning and reaches up to a shelf full of cereal, pushing them down like a stack of dumb, big dominos.

rocket's dead, man. zetsu did this. ]

w0, SATURDAY

[sharkgirl]

[i am sorry in advance but she is Not in the talking mood

she can be found outside, but she doesn't look at jolyne when she approaches, and her mouth is all bunched and pursed like she might cry.]

[floridas]

[ it is what it is.

she's too angry after all of that and just lays down wherever there's grass. there's not really anything you can say after something like that so she just thunks her head on the ground and stares up. ]

[sharkgirl]

[she doesn't say anything, just watching the sky.

she's not even angry. she's just tired. there's a very, very old sort of tiredness that comes from her in waves. like she's not really seventeen, but a thousand.]

w1, monday

[floridas]

[ thank god for the gym. jolyne is just lazily meandering today by the park with a dumb hat on her head and a bag over her shoulder, but she'll give nimona a wave ]

Yo— [ a beat ] You wanna go check out the gym and punch some stuff with me?

[sharkgirl]

[hat...

she is outside stretching, but she will wave back! a pause.]

Uhhhh yeah! I'm so good at punching. [this is a lie but she's got the spirit.] What's up?

[floridas]

[ sometimes you see if you can become a hat girlie (no) ]

Not much—makin' the rounds mostly. I'm just glad you guys are all outta there. Jail fuckin' blows.

[ she tosses her an easy smile ]

Nothin' like being a free bird.

[sharkgirl]

Yeah, it wasn't great! I've never been in one for more than a day before. Or like, fifteen minutes. [makes a face...]

w2, monday

[floridas]

[ well jolyne is here at the pet store where there are a bajillion and one animals. she's wearing some sunglasses shaped like green stars and is just vibing with some lizards it looks like? somes lizards are hanging out on her shoulders while others are sunning themselves under a red lamp. ]

Man, you've got some real funky scales there, my guy.

[ there is a little chameleon that just stretches out it's lil-guy hand when nimona passes by though, and jolyne turns. ]

Hey there.

[sharkgirl]

[those glasses are rad, hello]

Hey. [she's wandering through with like three cats in her arms, but she'll stop when the little chameleon reaches out! she grins, and leans forward to boop her nose against the chameleon's little dude hand.]

You like this place too, huh.

[floridas]

[ i want a pair, personally.

lil chameleon friend boops her nose and reaches over very slowly he would like to cross to climb onto her hair if she will allow! jolyne just stays very steady, letting him move. ]

Yeah, I wanted to keep 'em company and give them some love. [ she nods at the cats, hello fellas. ] Looks like you've got your arms full too—just hangin' out or are you on a mission? [ a cat mission. ]

w4, MONDAY

[sharkgirl]

[there is a scroll, sitting on a table... somewhere. wherever you want. do you touch it...]

[floridas]

Huh...

[ it's funny, she always touches things she shouldn't. it's probably early enough in her day that she doesn't really quite realize the connection to what she's touching as she gently nudges the body of it with her fingertips.

let's see. ]

[sharkgirl]

[the scroll sparkles pink, and then - like the pages of a story book, a flash of memories come up and plays.]
