intro weekend, sunday

[doghouse]

[ after the npc meet and greet, datz is just hanging out in the lobby, eating some funyuns as he tries out some of the games on his phone. he waves when he sees rita. ]

Hey! [ said with a mouthful of funyun, though he thankfully swallows before saying anything else. ] Ox, right?

[rizomata]

[goes to google what the heck funyuns are and comes back. hi.

she glances over her shoulder.]

My team? Yeah. And you're with the mouse.

[doghouse]

[ i'm pretty sure he never saw a funyun before these vending machines either, it's fine. ]

Yep!

[ the mouse seems chaotic as hell and he's here for it. ]

Kinda feel like that whole thing raised just as many questions as it answered, but at least it's more than we had yesterday.

[rizomata]

Yeah...

[an exasperated sigh.]

And it's real annoying that they took off right away again, after showing up late in the first place! Like, what the heck is so important that they can't stick around to explain things properly?

week 0, friday

[doghouse]

[ just out somewhere after investigations... he gets a little bit of an "oof" look upon seeing someone from the cobalt ox team after this. that team's sure had a week. ]

Heard about your teammate. Sorry.

[rizomata]

Don't be. We weren't, like... close or anything.

[doghouse]

[ shrugs. ]

Still always sucks to lose a comrade unexpectedly, even if ya weren't super close to them in particular.

w1, post-trial

[doghouse]

[ giving a tired wave and wandering over when he catches her outside the library ]

That was pretty rough, huh? Least we nailed the guy.

[rizomata]

[rita looks pretty tired, and honestly, a little upset. but she nods.]

Yeah. I'd be pissed if he got away with it, especially after all that crap he was spouting at the end.

[doghouse]

Ugh, tell me about it. What a raging jerk.

[ sighs... ]

...Sorry we didn't get a better answer about Norma.

w2, monday

[doghouse]

[ checking out appliances and stuff in the kitchen store even though he doesn't need any of them! ]

Yo, RM. Lots of new stuff this week, huh?

[rizomata]

[without missing a beat:] Don't call me that.

There's a lot more of interest than previous weeks, that's for sure.

[peering at various contraptions for slicing, dicing, and mutilating vegetables.]

[doghouse]

Well, whaddya like better? Mordy?

[ her name does not offer a lot of cute nickname options, actually...

squints at some kind of vegetable cutter thing that looks like it could be a torture device. ]

Hope Koko doesn't get any bright ideas from any of these things.

Week 2, Saturday

[rizomata]

[Rita's outside the dorms, where she's still fuming after the day's events. Datz can come by just as she kicks a trash can, just to let out some frustration on something.

Then she notices him and whirls around sharply to face him.]

What do you want?

[doghouse]

[ holds up his hands ]

Sorry, sorry. Just checkin' in, y'know.

[ ... ]

Kinda feel like kicking some crap around myself, honestly.

[rizomata]

[ ... well, now that she's got that kneejerk response out of her system, she'll talk a little. ]

Yeah. I just can't stand this...

I'm not sorry that we voted for the wrong guy, but I'm not happy about it, either.

Week 3, Saturday

[rizomata]

[ After the trial, Rita can be found out in the park, just sitting on the grass somewhere away from the paths and the people, in a spot that has a little bit of light.

She looks pretty much deflated, sitting with her notebook closed beside her. ]

... I'm such an idiot.

[doghouse]

I trusted him too. I think a lot of us did.

[ ... ]

Koko did, which is what pisses me off the most.

[rizomata]

... Yeah.

But I shouldn't have... -- I know better than to trust people that easily. It was stupid.

w4, tuesday

[doghouse]

[ welp he's at the library for gardening books when a memory (22:59 - 23:50) pops up and a librarian comes over to shush him. at least this one's short. ]

[rizomata]

... Sheesh. Do you usually greet your would-be allies like that?

[doghouse]

[ the librarian gives him a YOU'RE ON THIN ICE, MISTER glare and turns away ]

...Well, technically my greeting was punching his lights out in a sewer tunnel. That was 'cause I thought he was a cop, though.

Week 6, Friday

[rizomata]

[ after investigations, rita's just sitting on the edge of the dock, her legs dangling over the water, with the newspaper in hand. it doesn't look like she went far after checking out the laser tag building. ]

[doghouse]

[ just immediately hearing this reading this tag

he'll come sit down nearby. ]

Stinks that we always get thrown right back into this crap so soon after getting back from those trips, huh?

[rizomata]

... Yeah.

[ distantly. ]

Your wounds... you got treated, right?

[ she really didn't see much of what happened around her when they got back. ]
