W0 : THURSDAY

[piteous]

[ Vash has been patrolling Japonifornia, so he does arrive at the park to see...

What is Netzach doing? He'll be looming. ]

[abstractart]

[netzach is...! sprawled out on the ground. hello. sometimes you just vibe and become one with the dirt for a while and that's super normal of you, actually.

he gives vash a lazy little wave.]

[piteous]

[ Oh, uh... He blinks and waves before crouching down. ]

You tired?

[abstractart]

A little, I guess... I just like it out here.

[he's comfy!]

[piteous]

I know fresh air is nice and all, but it is Thursday... It might be better if you stick to your warehouse?

[ sir ]

[abstractart]

It's fine. I'm keeping in touch with the others, so...

[as long as they know where he is, it's fine, right?]

I wasn't planning on staying here until tomorrow.

[piteous]

That's good. We don't know what might happen today, so it's better to avoid trouble as much as you can.

[ Said almost like a teacher chiding students. ]

W2 : MONDAY

[piteous]

[ Where is Netzach. Vash will rollerblade over and maybe circle him, emotions shared being some loud excitement, though there's something off about it. ]

Got another lazy day ahead?

[abstractart]

You know it. Heard there was a library, so... I might go see it.

[his own emotions brighten a little on seeing vash. hi, good to see you... there's still something of a listless undercurrent, something more resigned, but it feels more like a baseline thing.]

[piteous]

[ Sometimes you have depression as a backdrop. It's a neverending constant. Vash, too, but... He tilts his head when he feels those emotions.

Then realizes— ]

Wait. Are those your feelings?!

[ He'll get back to the library soon. ]

[abstractart]

-are they?

[he doesn't know shit about fuck, help.]

W4 : MONDAY

[piteous]

[ PIGS ATTACK and you get wedding. CW: Death, implied overdose, suicide ideation.

His face really says "oh, no." ]

[abstractart]

[yeah! 'oh, no' is right! his says about the same, after witnessing that, after sitting with it for a moment, because--

well. it's a pretty intimate kind of thing to see, isn't it? moreso than most moments in a life would be. there's always something different about the end of one, especially with someone familiar.]

Was that really...

[piteous]

... Don't tell Wolfwood what you saw, all right?

[ Because, yeah, it's an intimate thing no matter how you look at it. It's also extremely awkward to be aware and know someone is dead-dead-dead. This at least covers up whatever he could be feeling to have to relive that memory again. ]

[abstractart]

...yeah, man, I'm not gonna walk up to him and start asking him about his death.

[even netzach has more tact than that, probably-- it really is awkward to know something like that.]

[piteous]

Yeah, it would be seriously awkward...

[ He's glad that Netzach understands. ]

[abstractart]

What... happened, anyway?

[like, of course he saw, but...

that still only says so much.]

[piteous]

Wolfwood went to protect the orphanage and... I guess I came too late.

[ Worded in Vash's bias. ]

W6 : MONDAY

[piteous]

[ hello....... where is netzach. if they're in new christmas land, Vash is very cold.

And Netzach will notice different about him instantly. i will let you oocly have one guess before revealing what it is. ]

[abstractart]

Hey, man.

[he does want to be in new christmas land! he's wearing a cozy sweater.

is his hair color different]

[piteous]

... H...ey.

[ He's bald. Maybe if I don't say anything, he won't notice. ]

w7 monday

[abstractart]

[hewwo. at some later point monday when vash focuses on the pin-- there's a brief flash of netzach, back in his usual clothes, before he disappears. his voice is still audible, though.]

Hey, man. Holding up okay over here?

[piteous]

[ Oh? Vash blinks while looking around, but keeps on focusing. ]

Yeah, granted I was a bit scared for Livio on Saturday... I don't know if you got to see, but he was kind of getting grilled. Then he went to execute Kyoko since that's what they agreed on, which didn't worry me too much, but a mammoth came out of nowhere and ruined things.

Wolfwood left him to me back and home and I guess here, but the weekend was really testing my ability to keep him alive and mentally okay. Then I also had to be okay.

[ Even though the emotions are a little sad, just permanent depression. ]

... We're okay somehow! People have been pretty sad, but today I think cheered some of them up.

What's up with you and everyone else on the other side?

[abstractart]

He was-? Man, we tried to keep him out of it... sorry if it made him look suspicious. I didn't get to see anything for a few days, so it was kind of a surprise to wake up with Wenzhou and Kyoko both there...

[man. we really said swept theory REAL.]

We're okay, though. Honestly, it's... it feels like it's easier, being dead?

[piteous]

People were thinking he killed Kyoko and unfortunately the hint kind of made it worse a little bit? TBD thought that the wounds matched Setsu's just because they're split. Then there were untraceable slashes and stabs, so psychokinesis.

Livio only scraped by because some of us knew Kyoko is romantically interested in Wolfwood... And the weird tracks. Nails, too, but I don't know why it was relevant—it doesn't matter! That stress is GONE.

[ ......... ]

Dude, I'm envious.
