[ jolyne is just munching on a bagel hungrily in the kitchenette with a tall beer next to her. ]

Hey.

[ kicking her feet ]

What'd you think of the show with all the masked people?

[selfimmolation]

[ oh i'm glad they are both alcoholics. he also has a beer ]

Show's not a bad word for it. If they're telling the truth, anyway.

week 1, monday

[selfimmolation]

[ i think they should be in the furniture store and i think they should be looking at the ugliest rugs known to mankind. for example, this ]

... Is this really how people decorate their houses...?

[ he has bad fashion taste but it's haunting to have a rug stare at you like this ]

[floridas]

[ this image is now burned into my retina. jolyne is deadass trying not to laugh but it's so hard. ]

These are so [ clown honk ] ugly. Why does a rug need eyes...

week 0, friday

[selfimmolation]

[ i wrote thursday at first when am i. anyway ace is somewhere with a copy of The Newspaper. fuck locations it's friday ]

Hey. Do you have any idea what happened?

[floridas]

[ it's gonna start feelin like that by w2. jolyne is heading here for some reason i have not made it up yet. she just looks a little pissed off. ]

Someone's f$%#&@* dead, yeah... overnight.

w0, saturday

[floridas]

[ this sucks. she's just sitting on some sidewalk near a dorm eating a konbini ice cream and slouched in a hoodie. ]

Stupid f$%&#*g cards...

[ she'll kind of wave some fingers a little when she sees ace. ]

Talk about a kangaroo-@$$ court.

[selfimmolation]

[ he's walking around a little bit on fire. he can't burn but. he is on fire anyway ]

This whole thing is a joke. We're not going to just sit here and watch them execute her.

w1, monday

[floridas]

[ crafts crafts crafts crafts!!!!!!

jolyne is currently sitting at the craft table with a whole slew of strings to make woven bracelets! she's got a few that are already finished in a few colors off to the side and she's just having a good time. when she sees ace though, she's quick to stick a hand up. ]

Hey, you.

[selfimmolation]

[ he'll raise a hand right back, coming over. he's got... a scarecrow? mods said there are some here. don't question me. ]

Hey. Doing the crafting task? [ peeeeers ] Lookin' good so far!

week 1, friday

[selfimmolation]

[ jolyne can find a bundle of rage punching a tree in the park? is this anything? it's the starter i got nothing else here he's not noticing anyone around ]

[floridas]

[ that's okay, because she sure feels a whole lot of Something. for a while, she watches, letting him throw his punches for a few more minutes before walking over and delivering a sharp kick to the other side of the tree.

it's been a long day already.

she might join him for a time in just beating up this poor tree honestly, it feels good, and she can just focus on this instead of having Emotions.





eventually tho she'll fuck up a kick and just eat shit and fall on her back and

give up. ]

Fuck...

week 1, sunday

[selfimmolation]

[ there is a lot of sad depressed stuff they could talk about. it has been a Weekend.

but ace decides to skip all that for: ]

Hey, so... what was with the triangle obsession?

[floridas]

[ she just Groans a little. ]

I was hoping people would forget about that shit...

w2, tuesday

[floridas]

[ IM THE WORST I FELL ASLEEP BEFORE I COULD WRITE THIS RUNS AT AND HEADBUTTS (no)

but also here we are at the mall and jolyne is just wearing a gaudy-ass cowboy hat while flipping through a magazine. when she sees him though, she will tip her lil hat. ]

Howdy.

[selfimmolation]

[ ace tips his own hat right back with a laugh!! ]

Nice hat!

[ i hate him ]

week 2, sunday

[selfimmolation]

[ All That Happened. ace is taking a break in the park by sprawling out next to the lake it looks like and he waves lazily in greeting to jolyne when he notes her

just hi yea hate this place ]

thank you :soup:

[floridas]

[ the park is really is the best place for this kind of thing. she will wave and beeline it over, just kind of flopping right down next to him. this place literally sucks. ]

Hey... [ with a tired sigh, wilting a little ] Another day at the circus, yeah?

w3, monday

[floridas]

[ NO BEACH!? /throws phone

jolyne is here roaming around downtown in general, staring at the bottles in the window display of the apothecary, but other than that she's just window shopping. why does the solution to all of her problems not exist here. ]

You think any one of these dumb things can give me my wings back?

[ knocks the glass with her hand gently. pleeeease. ugh. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ every week he wakes up and there's no beach :(

ace definitely is just walking around so he stops when jolyne talks, walking over ]

Give your wings back? [ :? ] Something happen to them?

w3, thursday :ratshake:

[floridas]

[ but not really. she's just gonna come find him wherever he might be and will beeline it over to just make sure he's gotten looked at after So Much Blood. boy where you at. ]

Welcome back to us, man.

[selfimmolation]

[ somewhere out there idk but he was dragged to the hospital so he is full of bandages. he's only got one arm, one leg and half his face free of them. he looks stupid. ]

I didn't go that far. I think. No idea where we were in the end.

w4, monday or tuesday (take your pick!)

[floridas]

[ the funniest option is truly to go to polar way and see what it's about, except when jolyne is staring at the actual posters for it advertising what it actually is all over the outside of the building... and... you can get a memory in a hot minute. ]

Well. That's not what I thought it was gonna be, but like.

[ hand to her chin ]

... I'm not mad about it.

[selfimmolation]

[ i'm picking monday because i don't trust the world here, and ace looks a little amused himself ]

Is this the closest this place gets to a red light district, you think? [ INAPPROPRIATE, YOUNG MAN, but also, ]

w4, friday

[floridas]

[ void void void noises jolyne is here with a plastic bag in her hand. she's absolutely done with today and is just carrying an opaque waterbottle while wandering around. she's got just absolutely furious vibes around her right now, the night is rank, but she's a girl on a mission and wherever she finds ace she's just gonna just bump gently into him somewhere he is ideally not as hurt.

she has like 0 words right now, she's just furious and she wants to make sure he's okay, albeit she's guessing that maybe he's feeling about as miserable. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ he is feeling as miserable! or at least that's what he looks like sitting down on the ground holding a knife and looking pathetically smad. she bumps him and he kind of flinches, a little, though it's clearly not from pain. he just looks at her and looks back away ]

... It's always two, huh.

w4, saturday

[floridas]

[ well... she is here, just kind of slinking towards wherever they're keeping him in solitary. she hates visiting, it brings back too many bad memories, but she does it because something is more precious to her than a bad dream. so she's going to just be here. ]

Look me in the eyes...

[ softly ] I read her note... I'm not... I can't be angry, Ace, I know what we have to do in this place...

[selfimmolation]

[ well, he'll look at her with a grimace. ]

... I don't actually know what she wrote on those. I gave her privacy.

w7, tuesday

[floridas]

[ let's go to the beach beach beach she's nyooming and ace is probably unprinnied by the time she gets there. she's just jogging her way over to him in the sand and immediately nudges him in the shoulder, turning her eyes out towards the water. ]

You really missed the wholeass ocean-part of Oceanside by a week. [ folding her arms. ] Sigrun said you guys were stuck inside the whole time...?

[selfimmolation]

[ ace is just sitting on the beach facing the ocean but there's just a burst of !! friend and then amused when she punches him. and then it turns a little sour ]

By a day. [ FIRST OF ALL. HORRID. speaking of horrid: ] And yeah. We couldn't even open the windows. I think if I'd have had to stay any longer, I'd have gone insane. At least jail didn't have me writing articles, you know?

w7, saturday

[floridas]

[ well i am assuming that he is at the beach again, which i think has remained... mostly undisturbed? maybe that's kind of for the best. she's mostly walking along the shoreline itself, kicking up some of the foam with a gleeful abandon. she swings an obnoxiously-colored water bottle in one hand while she gives ace a wave with the other. ]

Way to burn those pages, hot stuff.

[selfimmolation]

[ he is always beach, and he grins right back at her from his spot relaxing on it as he waves back ]

I'm pretty sure anyone could've done that job. [ a little amused ] You guys looked cool out there, though.
