[ datz is wandering around the arcade and checking out the games!! which is a pretty fun and novel experience because they don't have a big selection of these where he's from.

he waves enthusiastically at ryuki when he sees him and shouts across the room. ]

Hey, Ruty! Ya don't see that chicken game anywhere, do ya?

[unsync]

It's Ryuki!

And no, I don't.

[ He wanders over closer, thinking it does look a little funny to see someone like Datz walking around in an arcade. Not a bad thing, he just doesn't see it very often. ]

I'm guessing you're not having luck either...

[doghouse]

That's your last name! Your first name's Kuruto, right? So, Ruty!

[ if he can get yuty out of nahyuta he can get ruty out of kuruto ]

Nope, but I also have no idea what I'm lookin' for!

wk1, monday;

[unsync]

[ Horse Sleep is becoming more real as the days go on. Hi Datz, you can just witness Ryuki staring real hard into a bowl of soup in the Mouse Dorm room from early in the day. Like, barely dawn level of early. The common room smells like soup.

That's I guess my entire tag. ]

[doghouse]

[ help i guess this is just what greets him when he returns from prison in the morning, still in the orange jumpsuit that he just claimed as his and not the property of the government. fuck 'em.

also he really needs to shave, this is more than a two-day prison beard should be. ]

...Hangin' in there, bud?

[ sniffs... ]

Ooh, breakfast soup.

[unsync]

[ SCREAMS LIKE A GIRL AT THIS STRANGE MAN ENTERING THEIR DORM ]

wk1, saturday;

[unsync]

[ Well, he's just kind of here in the courtroom as Argalia gets herded out. This fucking sucks. ]

So he really did it...

[doghouse]

Yep. It was a solid theory.

[ puts a hand on his shoulder and gives a little squeeze. you did good, kid. ]

Guy gave me bad vibes after the trial last weekend anyway. Seemed way too amused by the whole thing while M&M and so many others were in pain. Makes me mad as hell that he did it, but I'm not gonna pretend I'm sorry he's the one to go.

[unsync]

[ Tips over just slightly when the hand comes out. He is not doing too hot, it's like wet lettuce. ]

But I don't know that he deserves to die for it.

Not even just die for it, but get executed. Potentially by someone who isn't interested in making it easy.

[ HANAKO. And honestly maybe Datz, he doesn't know, but he won't say this to his face. ]

w2, post-trial

[doghouse]

[ back at mouse at some point that evening ]

Hey.

[ ...takes a deep breath and sighs. ]

Sorry. I really blew it.

[unsync]

[ At least we have broken our Mouse loss. ]

W-what? No you didn't.

[doghouse]

[ thank fucking god for that at least ]

Yeah, I did. I told ya we'd figure it out and we didn't. And I still voted for double H after I had real good reason to think it wasn't him anymore.

wk3, pre-mini event;

[unsync]

[ He's in the dorm. This is for eye crimes before event chaos. How are you? ]

So if powers are all swapping around...

[doghouse]

Well, about that—

Didja hear about that fire at the Tarkea yesterday?

[ looks at calendar i'm just assigning this tuesday ]

[unsync]

Yeah...?

[ It was probably all over local news and stuff and also people freaking out on social media and Tarkea stocks crashing. Rip. It's an international furniture giant though it'll survive. ]

wk3, post-mini event;

[unsync]

[ Datz... :face_holding_back_tears:

Is he taking him back to Mouse dorm, where we going. ]

[doghouse]

[ yeah we're going home to mouse, datz will walk next to him and keep an arm around his shoulders on the way back to make sure he doesn't just collapse along the way!! (along with schrödinger's tama probably, but. pc life.)

i have no idea how far d*nny's is from mouse dorm and i'm just not going to think about it. anyway, wherever they started, they're close now. the trip conversation until now has probably been datz just talking about random little things in an attempt to try to keep ryuki from getting too lost in his own thoughts. ]

...Haven't been sleeping too good, huh?

wk3, sunday;

[unsync]

[ THIS CAN BE pre- or post-execution whichever ends up working with you, I'm just putting it out early b4 I sleep. He did not come back Saturday after taking Hanako to the hospital, he spent the rest of yesterday getting totally hammered because he really just can Not anymore.

He'll probably eventually make his way back sometime on Sunday though, looking awful. ]

[doghouse]

[ belatedly making this post-execution... and whoof, that's. more than a little concerning. ]

...Ruty, buddy, you look like crap.

[ not judgmental in tone, just... stating a fact. ]

Where've you even been since last night?

w4, tuesday;

[unsync]

[ I hope Tuesday is ok instead!! Anyway, Ryuki has like. Weird, strobing hair. Silver with just lights that almost look like he's got RGB strands embedded right in there, kind of like Aiba or Tama's orange strands, but in all colours. It's very much 'he's got a disco ball for hair' energy.

Which is why he's just very slowly shuffling through the dorm just completely burrowed in a blanket. Please, just let the world eat him. ]

[doghouse]

[ every day is ok but especially disco ball hair day, holy shit

he sees a bit of that hair peek out of the blanket at some point and immediately comes closer for a better look ]

Whoa!!! What is— is that your hair?!

wk4, friday;

[unsync]

[ Post-investigation... he does have to check in with Datz especially when he learns you've been on investigation, buddy.

He's looking at him like he's just Terminator analysing his ass. IS HE WALKING FINE? DOES HE LOOK PALE? ETC. It doesn't matter that Ryuki is drinking, he's got attention on Datz. ]

[doghouse]

[ RYUKI PLEASE

he's walking fine, though his right arm is still in a sling (his awkward one-armed body lifting help). he's got a new scar above his left eye through the eyebrow but the eye itself is fine! otherwise he looks mostly fine aside from a few shallow cuts and bruises, but also, like, most of what he had was torso wounds so you can't see them through his clothes anyway!!

anyway, he raises his good hand in a little wave when he sees ryuki. ]

Hey. Sorry for worrying ya.

w6 sunday

[doghouse]

[ after that team meeting... lord. datz is just flopping down on whichever bunk is his and groaning into a pillow. WHY IS THEIR TEAM LIKE THIS. HE'S THE MOST CHAOTIC CHARACTER IN AN AA GAME, WHY IS HE A VOICE OF REASON NOW. HE'S SO TIRED. ]

[unsync]

[ I still think it's so funny we lost 2/5 members and yet they decided to just stay rooming and let Hanako have his own room. This is why he turbo-killed, he didn't have supervision.

Ryuki is just lamely cleaning up his own bed. There's very little to organise about it and yet. It is busywork. ]

Um... Mr. Datz...

Did you also...

[ Please don't tell him he's the only one. Or do, it'd be funny. ]
