w4, sunday

[doghouse]

[ sometime after execution on sunday, datz and temenos are grabbing danny for a little meeting. ]

Yo, DF. Let's go talk a little.

[ ...honestly the fucking tarkea garden section is probably as private and unmonitored as anything, so maybe we'll just. go back there. hide among the ficuses. ]

[inquired]

[ it's a temenos! he's smiling placidly calm as ever, dressed in a cute sweater and slacks now that he's no longer (genshin voice) wet. i have to take every opportunity for this when i have it.

anyway off to the tarkea garden ]

Yes - thank you for your time.

[foreverphantom]

[ danny eyes temenos warily as he meets with them and then follows towards tarkea ]

...right. Uh, sure thing.

w5, monday

[foreverphantom]

[ maybe a lil later in the day once we figure out collectively what the week's effect is ]

OUR THOUGHTS???
OUR THOUGHTS ARE GETTING BROADCAST ALL OVER THE PLACE?
WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS!!!!
AM I SUPPOSED TO JUST HIDE OUT ALL WEEK?

[inquired]

Stop thinking.

[ BE FUCKING FOR REAL ]

[foreverphantom]

oh shut up
everyone is always thinking SOMETHING

[doghouse]

jeez this was really rotten timing, they probably did it on purpose

uh honestly wouldnt be a bad idea to at least to try limit how much youre talking to people in person? you can also ask one of us to hang out whenever if you want to be seen being normal and social in public but dont want to risk it with someone else

and like tm said i guess just focus on the conversation or have a backup subject to think about

unless the conversation is about last weekend and then maybe you just want to think about how bad you have to pee or something so you can try to duck out of that fast 😬

[ and then a few minutes later ]

CRAP I JUST REALIZED IM GOING TO HAVE TO FAKE THIS TOO

[foreverphantom]

OH CRAP WE'RE ALL SCREWED

w5, wednesday

[foreverphantom]

WHICH ONE OF YOU SARDINED ME

[doghouse]

what??

[foreverphantom]

the can of sardines in my room!
that makes me think about sardine facts nonstop
i mean it's a good tactic to keep me from thinking anything incriminating but
give a guy some warning

w5 friday

[doghouse]

[ after that newspaper edition comes out... ]

yo, lets meet up in the usual place. i think it's probably time to reevaluate some stuff.

[ and he will be waiting in the tarkea garden section!!! ]

[foreverphantom]

[ he doesn't respond, but the message will show as having been read by Danny

so here he is in the tarkea garden section i guess, why is this our usual place help, looking mildly concerned by whatever this reevaluation is about ]

[inquired]

[ oh boy oh boy! temenos is there a little early - he's got a pen in his hand and is poring over the letter to the editor, making marks occasionally on it even while he's walking.

once he makes it, he gives danny a little smile, and hums. ]

Gemini. Congratulations on surviving the week, mm?

w5, sun

[inquired]

Well. What an interesting evening we've had.
Danny. Let's meet in our spot and touch base, shall we?
I'll see the both of you there in ten minutes.

[doghouse]

👍

[ and he will be there, and just. immediately look at danny. ]

[foreverphantom]

fine

[ he is already there, curled up in a lil ball with his head tucked into his folded arms and knees, nestled amongst the ficuses. fici? ]

[doghouse]

[ ficuses. i googled this for a previous thread lmfao. ]

Buddy, you gotta tell her now.

w5, sunday

[foreverphantom]

[ late that night: ]

there i did it
now we're all miserable
satisfied?

[doghouse]

well its done and youre not dead so yeah
what did she say?

[foreverphantom]

she spit at me and said that being alive and alone is a better punishment than death

[inquired]

[ his response comes very late ]

She's with me, now. It will be alright, in time.
It is for the better, even though it doesn't feel that way.

[foreverphantom]

[ i hope he's still cursed and typing this with tiny AC paws ]

better for who, exactly?

w7, tuesday night

[doghouse]

[ at some point the dads have grabbed their son and we're back in our old place. hello again, ficuses.

for datz's part, there's just a mix of guilt and relief that's kind of sad and happy at the same time? the past few days have been a mess, man. anyway, he's putting a hand on danny's shoulder. ]

Maybe you got the note I sent over there already, but... man. Really sorry we weren't able to do more to prevent that.

[foreverphantom]

[ hello ficuses my old friend... ]

I saw. Not like you could stop literally everyone from coming after me. I should've known it'd be Hanako to try, it was foolish of me to think he wouldn't.

[ a little bitter at that--and a little disappointed with himself ]
