Weekend 0, Sunday

[trifocal]

[ Hi Yves! Eupha is checking out the IC profiles still. She looks over at him with a smile. ]

Wow... From the way this is written, it sounds like you can do anything!

[noirges]

[ there's a little laugh at that in return, and he does a cheesy pose on purpose, swinging his arm around like a ham ]

If you name the job, Courrune can do it! As long as it's for someone in need, we'll fulfill any work request.

I try to keep my skills variable!

week 0 dieday

[noirges]

[ OUR DARLING EUPHA

yves will notice her and walk up to her, looking her up and down in a worried way ]

Eupha! Are you okay? You didn't get hurt?

[trifocal]

Me...? [ ?? ] Yes, I was safe. Somehow, we were trapped outside, but it doesn't seem like anything else happened...

... at least, not to myself or those in my company.

[ sad. ]

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 Yves with a nod of greeting, then lowers it again. ]

... It's been a difficult day, hasn't it?

[noirges]

[ he's got a little basket with him, along with a bottle of wine and two glasses and then

pausing ]

... do you drink, Eupha...

[ he drank when he was her age but he has no idea!! ]

But you've got that right.

week 1 monday

[noirges]

[ AT SOME POINT IDK WHEREVER AAAA PICK A NEW LOCATIONS ANY IS FINE -

yves will just come up to eupha with a smile and a wave! he'll open his arms for a hug HE REALLY GOT USED TO AFFECTION WEEK ]

Eupha! Great timing - I have something for you that I didn't find time to give earlier. Is that okay?

[trifocal]

[ there's a little pause because it's not affection week anymore and she's like wait. should we hug?? and decides okay, they can have a little hug. ]

You do? What is it?

week 1, saturday

[noirges]

[ what a trial! yves is over a the bar and he's got a mug of beer with him. it's still mostly full, like he's drinking it slowly for once. there's an empty chair nearby with another mug, along with a little photo frame.

when he notices he has company, he perks up with a smile and waves. ]

Hi, Eupha. Another drink? Or juice this week?

[trifocal]

Just juice for tonight, I think.

[ since she already got smashed at the party and that's probably enough for one week.

she comes over to sit with him. can she peek at the photo. ]

I did not have the opportunity to say it before, so... I am sorry about your friend.

week 2, monday

[noirges]

[ somewhere in the new areas, you might encounter a familiar face—sort of! yves is looking around with curiosity, but his face is... maskless? where there is normally half a mask, there is just clear, umblemished skin. though the more you look at him, you might realize that his eyes are... different. the center of his pupil has an unnatural cyan glow to it, and his smiles no longer reach his eyes. as though the heart of the emotion is no longer accessible to him. ]

Good afternoon.

[trifocal]

Yves...?

[ her eyes widen. ]

That is you, isn't it?

week 2, post-trial

[noirges]

[ okay he's easy to find. he's waiting outside the church looking thoughtful but also

like he's intentionally making himself easy to find in case people are worried. when he sees you approach he smiles a little sadly and waves ]

Hi. You okay? I know that was stressful.

[trifocal]

[ she will give him a nod in greeting. ]

Yes... I'm all right.

... I've never been very good at telling when people are lying. I was so sure we must have missed something...

Week 3, Monday

[trifocal]

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

... This isn't the forest?

[ 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. ) ]

[noirges]

[ sacrifice?

yves has seen a lot of shit in his island, but sacrifice? one girl's life in order to save their people from disasters? is that even possible? he looks shocked as they leave the memory and he automatically reaches out for eupha - before pulling his hand back else he makes another little fumble. but the urge to console her is there, obvious on his face ]

Eupha—that was... are you okay?

Week 3, Friday

[trifocal]

[ happy death day... eupha can be seen sitting in the mansion lobby. she sits very quietly, staring down at her phone in her hands.

she seems a bit out of it, as it takes her a bit to realize yves is nearby. ]

Oh! [ she lifts her head suddenly. ] I am sorry that I did not ask sooner. How are your wounds...?

[noirges]

[ yves offers a small smile at that, going to sit by her ]

You don't need to apologize for that. I'm okay. Thanks for asking.

Did I interrupt your thoughts?

week 3, saturday

[noirges]

[ alright that was a trial. yves is walking around with a little basket on his arm and he'll approach at some point. ]

Eupha... You up for another drink?

[ that was a rough one ]

[trifocal]

[ she'll look up at him from where she's probably just quietly reflecting on the day. ]

I would graciously accept. And, of course, your company is most welcome.

Week 4, Monday

[trifocal]

[ hanging out at the tavern! eupha is practically glowing with joy. ]

It feels a little more like Heaven now, doesn't it?

[noirges]

[ he's feeling the same!! the emotional equivalent of animal crossing flowers, both for the tavern and also just to be hanging out with eupha ]

Right? I'm so happy for them. When I got a peek into some of Del's memories last week, I told him that they had to at least try it while they were here!

I'm glad Gabriel agreed.

week 4, tuesday

[noirges]

Is there anyone you like Eupha?
I'm waiting to see if Bas and Jiao get together for real
Same for Taair and Del!

[trifocal]

Me? I do not know how to answer that

Do you think they really could?

week 4, friday

[noirges]

[ yikes! yves is just exploring one of the areas where the bodies were found, vibes apprehensive. he's more serious today than any other day and bc i forgot to mention it in curfew the night before, he does have a sword at his side again finally yay

he looks up and waves ]

Eupha. I'm glad you're okay.

[trifocal]

[ eupha's vibes are quite calm, but in a well-practiced sort of way. she gives him a faint smile. ]

And I am glad to see you unharmed.

... Are you trying to anticipate what we might find tomorrow, by any chance?

Week 4, Sunday

[trifocal]

[ ok well!! after midtrial and now teen-on-teen violence, eupha will come looking for yves after execution. she's still maintaining the calmness she's had for most of the week. ]

... I know it may be a hollow question, but... are you all right?

[noirges]

[ he is better today than he was yesterday, and once laurence is taken care of even that panic has subsided. his vibes aren’t the same 100% they were the rest of the week, a little nervous and conscientious of the people around him

like eupha. like now. ]

Ah, I’m okay…

[ a beat ]

You don’t need to force yourself if you’re wary of me, Eupha.

week 5, thursday

[noirges]

[ OKAY

WHERE SHE? ]

[trifocal]

[ at the hospital! she's sitting upright in a bed with her left arm fully bandaged, her complexion a little flushed, and for some reason there's a computer keyboard next to her. ]

week 7, monday

[noirges]

[ why are all the locations so bad!!!

yves is just wandering around with curiosity and saying his hello's. he offers a smile to literally everyone he comes across and right now is no exception ]

Euphaaaa! Got all your hello's in?

[trifocal]

[ eupha is a little distracted when he finds her, gazing out into space, but not in a zoned-out kind of way. more that she is trying to focus on something in the distance.

but when she hears her name, she immediately looks over with a warm smile. ]

Most of them, I think. There are so many people I missed! You included, of course. You must tell me what you've been up to.

endgame

[noirges]

[ ok iT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!! YVES IS MAKING HIS ROUNDS TO SEE PEOPLE and he's bringing a gift with him. it's a paper flower again, but this time in the shape of a lycoris, just like the ones on his halo. it has both red and black petals, and it truly looks so hilariously goth from someone so sunshiney

but he'll offer it out anyway ]

Will you accept a token from me, Eupha?

[trifocal]

I would be happy to.

[ looks at the flower, and at his halo... ]

What does this flower mean to you, if I may ask?
