Weekend 0, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ When Elysia reaches the room with her name on the nameplate outside, she'll find a three-eyed young woman already inside, arranging some squishmallows on one of the beds. There's a dragon, a bear, and a mouse. There's also a big-ass lance leaning against a wall. She's got her regular clothes now! Goodbye sexy angel costume.

She turns and faces the stranger with a friendly smile. ]

You must be Elysia.

[florescences]

[ cast squishmallows? that's cute.... elysia will smile seeing them because she also thinks they're cute.

elysia has changed into her usual outfit and iscarrying a megaphone along with her giftbox when she comes into the room. ]

I am. Euphasia, I hope we'll be able to be friends.

[trifocal]

[ who can say... they look like these. anyway, her face immediately lights up in a smile. ]

I would like that very much! Oh, and you can call me Eupha, if you like.

[ their names are so similar. ]

What is that...? [ a curious look at the megaphone. ]

Week 0, Friday

[trifocal]

[ back at the mansion... looking very concerned ]

Oh, Ellie... Have you seen anything amiss?

[florescences]

Eupha!

[ running and invading personal space so she can make sure eupha isn't hurt, too, in some way. ]

No, nothing seems out of the ordinary, which is what's stranger.

[trifocal]

[ aw... ]

It is, isn't it? I could see nothing out of the ordinary at the beach, and yet... something terrible must have happened.

Week 0, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ Eupha's out on the hill by the lighthouse, looking out at the sea in quiet contemplation.

She lifts her gaze to acknowledge Elysia with a nod of greeting, then lowers it again. ]

I only wish I could understand why it came to this...

[florescences]

[ elysia reaches for eupha's hand, if eupha doesn't shy away from it. ]

That depends on how much Jing Yuan tells anyone, if anything, but he doesn't seem like the type to do anything without a reason.

1/2

[trifocal]

Yes... I have that impression, too.

[ she touches eupha's hand... and eupha suddenly pulls it back. ]

[trifocal]

Ah! I'm sorry. You meant only to comfort me, yes?

week 1, monday

[florescences]

Eupha!

[ it's morning in whoville, and elysia is dressed for the snow. her skin looks like crystals. ]

Do you wanna make snow angels?

[trifocal]

[ eupha is dressed... like normal! it's fine. ]

Snow angels? How do we do that?

[florescences]

[ they will get her new clothes. ]

I'll show you. Watch.

[ she gets off the pathway and falls backward into the snow without hesitation and starts making a snow angel. ]

week 2, friday

[florescences]

[ hi, eupha. elysia just swoops in to hug her because she can. ]

How are you feeling?

[trifocal]

[ oh!! she is hugged. ]

... I am all right. I only wish that the same could be said for all of us.

[florescences]

Yeah, me too. It's a terrible thing to start to expect. It makes me wish I could stop time sometimes.

Week 2, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ elysia can find eupha back at their room, gathering incense and her tiny portable altar. ]

... Oh, Ellie. I was just about to go do some meditation.

[ this will probably not be a shocker since they've lived together a couple weeks now. she does this a lot and often tries to take it outdoors so the room isn't constantly filled with incense. ]

[florescences]

Can I go with you, or is that something you like to do alone?

[ she holds out her hand to help carry the incense. even if eupha says no, she'll at least escort her. ]

[trifocal]

I would be happy to have your company.

[ she'll allow her to help carry it, too. ]

Have you tried meditation before?

Week 3, Monday

[trifocal]

[ What's up. We probably didn't mean to meet here, in the funhouse. ]

... I thought this was a diner...

[ Nope. Instead, a memory is displayed in the mirrors:


You see villagers gathered before their chief, clamouring for action. There are intruders on the island, they say. Sanctists, come to steal the divine relics. They must be put to death. The chief tries to calm them, explaining that the outsiders have done no harm, but they will not be placated. This is but the latest in a series of disasters.

They are right. It is time to perform the ritual.


( ... also, if you notice little floating particles in the air? You can 100% see them. They are everywhere. ) ]

[florescences]

[ elysia has witnessed sacrifice before, but that does not mean she likes it. eupha is too ready for it, and elysia does not like that either even if she may understand it.

still, her smile is as it usually is, if not a little sad. ]

Eupha... is that how you died?

week 7, monday

[florescences]

[ eupha must be in their room at some point today. a knock on the door, followed by the emotionshare of a bright love, is about all warning she gets before elysia bursts in. ]

Eupha!! Have you done anything new?

[trifocal]

[ eupha quickly rises to her feet, turning to greet her with a smile! ]

With the room? Only a little...

[ the planters they bought now have some pink flowers planted in them! and there are various knickknacks on the shelves. a crocheted snake, a pipe cleaner snake, a white snake plush... she might have gotten a lot of snake-themed gifts that are now displayed lovingly in the room.

also, the snake is here! it's curled up in its little basket on the floor at the foot of eupha's bed. ]

Week 7, Saturday

[trifocal]

[ back in their room... looking over everything with a bit of a sad smile. ]

I suppose we cannot bring it all with us.

[florescences]

[ elysia sits on her bed with her own smile. it's calm and peaceful more than anything else. ]

Probably not, but you can try to fit whatever small thing you can carry.

[ she does not know if this is how revival will work, but it doesn't hurt to try. ]
