weekend 0: saturday

[camena]

[ well it's been a day here in. wherever we are. ]

Soooo. Figured out a team yet? Like, there's still time, obviously, but.

[honkinbigteeth]

Well, I know I'm teaming up with Gerard. He needs supervision.

week 0: friday

[camena]

[ hello welcome to Bad Vibes City ]

... Did you talk to him at all? Before... [ before he got erased. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[oh, yes. these are some on edge vibes. not scared, just tense.]

A little. He seemed like someone who would be intimidating to talk to, but he wasn't. He let me tease him a little and showed me how to use a sticker on my phone.

week 0; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[after trial, ylfa can be found wandering back to the warehouse district with some ikea meatballs. she'll stop for alex, though.]

How are you doing?

[camena]

[ alex is just very slowly pacing. "pacing where" everywhere. so she stops as well. ]

How you'd expect, I guess. [ like that could have gone worse, somehow, but barely? ] You?

week 1; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[let's check out the museum. ylfa is wandering around sort of bored, and also slightly splattered in blood.]

Hi, Alex. Do you know where those bones are supposed to be.

[camena]

I haven't seen any bones yet, so beats me.

[ help. ]

Who's blood is that?

week 1: friday

[camena]

Sorry

You okay?

[honkinbigteeth]

[it's probably a couple hours before she answers this honestly.]

hi alex
im not so good at this part

week 1: saturday

[camena]

[ well. ]

That... felt like a lot of guessing in circles. But somehow got us there, I guess.

[honkinbigteeth]

[after trial she has the same vibe as alex's icon, like she's been awake for 72 hours.]

What happened...

week 2; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

[where's alex? she's around after the announcement anywhere. just very, very sad.]

[camena]

[ a little while after - long enough to shower and change after canal-swimming - alex is at the park. sitting on a swing and just idly rocking back and forth. a classic teen sulking spot.

the emotions are Bad but she's trying to keep a lid on them for ylfa's sake. though she isn't very good at it. ]

Hey, Ylfa.

week 2; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[where's alex after trial? swings again? ylfa can be around anywhere. her emotional state is tired and exhausted.]

I thought being on an all drift aura team might be bad but actually it might be good...

[camena]

[ yeah, she's swingin'... ]

It... definitely keeps us under the radar. But it also means we can't do as much to help when theories need to be tested.

week 2; sunday

[honkinbigteeth]

[the vibes are bad. she's mostly in her warehouse, but she's sitting outside it for a little while, so alex can find her or come upon her. emotionally, she feels a little in shock, but there's also a great amount of grief and guilt, too.]

[camena]

[ alex is just pacing back and forth outside the warehouses, honestly. sometimes you just need to get the anxious energy out somehow. but she'll meander over to ylfa.

and wordlessly offer a hug? ]

week 3; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[im just going to make this easier, ylfa is standing in the middle of the city! she has her hood pulled very closely around her head and over her ears and hands, like she's hiding a little bit, but she's still looking around curiously.]

It's huge...

[she looks like she can't decide where to go.]

[camena]

[ alex steps up beside her!! ]

I know, right? There's some kinda creepy stuff, but like—more fun stuff. Ever been anywhere like this before?

week 3: friday

[camena]

How are you holding up?

[honkinbigteeth]

i miss shenhe
it makes me feel selfish but
i really miss her

week 3: saturday

[camena]

Feels kinda like we dreamed too big on this one...

[honkinbigteeth]

hi alex
this is the worst

week 4; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[good morning. ylfa is out exploring the clouds, probably floating by in a bubble, when a pig runs by.

have a memory. when it's over she's still floating awkwardly in a bubble. but it pops and she lands.]

[camena]

[ when she had told ylfa she's still a good person, she hadn't really been thinking about herself; she had been thinking about jonas. but this memory resonates with her more personally.

someone dies, and no one listens to you. you lose sight of who you are. everything gets scarier. you get angrier. no one helps you. someone dies and you're as good as dead and no one seems to care. you want something so simple but your own family won't give it you. the betrayal digs in and makes it impossible to look at these people the same way again. ]

Oh, God. [ softly, because, ow? poor ylfa? ] ... Are you... okay?

[ after having to relive that. ]

week 4: thursday

[camena]

Where'd you go?

[honkinbigteeth]

hey, alex!
it was kind of weird!
it was like school or something
we baked cookies and stuff

week 4; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's skipping along, and waves at alex.]

Hey! Find any bodies this week?

[camena]

Not this week, no... Which seems a little surprising, given how many there were. [ don't joke about it. help. ]

week 5; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[lol.

she's sitting outside the warehouse door, axe across her lap.]

[camena]

[ well. alex will come over but keep a bit of distance. not a threat. just sad. and for a little bit not saying anything until, haltingly: ]

Everyone should have voted for a different team. We—we tried. [ wasn't enough though. ]

week 5: monday

[camena]

[ alex is out and about, wandering the new areas! ]

Not that I'm totally against creepy tunnels, but this is definitely a let-down after Cloudtopia.

[honkinbigteeth]

[it really is, it really is.]

When will we finally get Australia...?

week 5; thursday

[honkinbigteeth]

[hey how long has this asw been here...rude.

well anyway she's going to follow her promise and stay around alex. if her tbd members are around maybe ylfa will go for a little while but she's going to try not to leave her alone.]

[camena]

[ teehee.

anyway alex probably takes a break to get medkit'd and changed into clean clothes, but then she can have some hangouts outside the warehouse. and now she is... a bit spacy, like she's listening to someone talk even when things are quiet. ]

week 5: friday

[camena]

[ i think alex is once again just outside her warehouse because she doesn't want to be far from... what remains of her team.

except this time she's like. sitting, doubled over, with her head in her hands. ]

Shut up, shut up.

[honkinbigteeth]

Alex...

[oh, she's going to hurry over to her.]

Alex, I'm so sorry.

week 5; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[going to find alex, wherever the hell she is.]

Alex! I'm so sorry we didn't solve it...!

[camena]

[ probably outside her team's warehouse again, once again refusing to go far from it, but probably still vibrating a bit with residual anxiety. ]

It's not your fault.

week 6; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[ylfa can be found out in the forest, trying to coax a wolf to come hang out with her with a steak.]

C'mere! I brought you food!

[camena]

[ alex will try and move kinda quietly to get close to ylfa, then. so as to not scare away a potential wolf friend. ]

Any luck?

week 6: sunday

[camena]

[ wherever ylfa is, alex will wander over! ]

How're you holding up?

[honkinbigteeth]

Hi, Alex.

[she gives her a small smile.]

I think it's almost over now. So - if that's true, better.

week 7; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[camena]

There are only like 15 of us left, so I think we're gonna hit max saturation on this message pretty fast.

week 7: saturday

[camena]

[ at some point? probably early in the party or even before it. ]

Thanks for everything, Ylfa. It was... a lot.

[honkinbigteeth]

[yeah. hanging out at the party, but it's kind of nicer to chat one on one.]

Oh. Well, you don't really have to say thanks for anything. But it was a lot.
