Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind

[feistytrader]

Please join us in the greenhouse should you feel able or need company. There will be food and comfort. None of us should be alone right now.

-Hanyuu, Jasper, and Silver

[That's the note that gets slid under everyone's doors after such a somber and saddening trial; it's not like it's going to be a big ordeal anymore given how few of them there are, but that doesn't mean that they should spend it alone.

The location of their setup is the greenhouse! ...The greenhouse has had a new addition; there is a massive blanket fort set up using an absurd amount of rope, blankets, and duct tape. The blankets span across three trees to make a considerable amount of space roughly shaped like a triangle for them to hang out under. Under the fort is a small pile of scissors taken from the sewing and art rooms. Next to them are a couple of flower crowns. They're relatively simple and don't involve many different flowers, but they're good examples of what the pile of scissors are there for.

There's also food, of course; a blanket is laid out on the floor with a large set of plates, a massive amount of eggs and rice, some of Elda's spicy fries, and... Sandwiches. Jasper's made everyone sandwiches, and the sandwiches are absolutely absurd in size due to how many cold cuts she's stacked into them. But don't worry! They aren't all meat. There's a lot of mustard, too. Luckily, they're still of a reasonably edible size.]

Comments

[foundfate]

[oh, he absolutely did. He just wanted to make sure Silver was done before he spoke.]

Silver. You are my friend, and I appreciate everything you do. But I don't need to ask your permission to be upset about my girlfriend dying. I don't need the okay from you to wish that I could have done something to save her. And I definitely don't need a lecture from you on the value of my life when I wasn't even devaluing my life in the first place.

And if you can't understand that, or if you're not willing to, then you should leave. Because I care about you, and I don't want to get in a fight with you.

[feistytrader]

[...There's not a lot he wants to say to that, really. What he really wants to do is beat him up. Yell at him. Do anything he can to get him to understand.]

I never said that you couldn't be upset about it. I wouldn't deny anyone that.

[He gets up and pulls out a letter- it's Orihime's letter to Watanuki- and sets it on Watanuki's desk. He recalls Aibo and beckons Weavile along. And he heads towards the door.]

If what you just said is true, you say very different things than what you mean, Watanuki.

[Not Kibo, but Watanuki. He doesn't slam the door as he heads out.]

[foundfate]

[WELL FINE BE LIKE THAT Watanuki will just take the letter and read it and go bother Silver later.]

Part 2: in the chemistry lab

[foundfate]

[SO ABOUT THAT LATER THING...

Watanuki's greeting to Silver is to storm into the chemistry lab and throw something at Silver's head.

That something is actually a pillow. Which he may have dragged with him from his room. Because he's dumb like that.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver... Stands there and takes it, and makes sure the pillow falls down before he turns around.]

Do you want me to lose my fingers?

[He just. Gestures to all the ice bomb chemicals.]

[foundfate]

Your fingers are fine! And don't ever call me Watanuki again!

[He actually wasn't thinking about the dangers of the chem lab whoops]

1/

[feistytrader]

[...Maybe that was going a little too far, maybe he, uh-]

[feistytrader]

[...Wait a minute. Watanuki hit him first.]

3/3

[feistytrader]

[-Which means there's nothing stopping him from beating the absolute shit out of Watanuki.

...With pillows.

He swipes the pillow off of the floor and charges his way out of the chem lab before someone does lose some fingers and slams Watanuki with the pillow. Hope you brought two.]

Yeah? does that piss you off?

[foundfate]

[He actually did not, so he will get absolutely slammed by that pillow. Not knocked down, thankfully, but obviously hit and annoyed by it. And he's grabbing for the pillow because he is totally unarmed now.]

Yes, it does! You don't get to go back on friendships like that!

[feistytrader]

Who the hell said anything about going back on our friendship, dumbass? I'm not using any nicknames when I'm pissed off at you!

[...There's only one pillow. He's letting Watanuki have it and bolting up the stairs.

...

He's pretty damn fast...]

[foundfate]

You're not supposed to- hey!

[He's holding the pillow and taking off after Silver. He's not quite as fast, but he will stay close enough that he can yell at Silver as he goes.]

Stop running away!

[feistytrader]

[This is fine. He'll reach the hallway and unlock his room door soon enough anyway.]

You're a big, stupid, dumb jerk that doesn't even bring two pillows to a pillow fight! How the hell am I supposed to beat you up like that?

[foundfate]

This isn't a pillow fight! And I'm supposed to be the one beating you up!

[He'll just run up to that doorway then!]

[feistytrader]

I know! You even hit me first, so I don't have to feel bad about beating the shit out of you!

[GUESS WHO HAS A PILLOW NOW. Silver is totally wailing at him with reckless abandon.]

[foundfate]

You're not gonna get the chance to!

[He's moving the pillow to one hand, so that he can try and push Silver away with his free hand while simultaneously swinging at him with the pillow. See his long noodly limbs have a use!]

[feistytrader]

Good! Come on, Noodles, come at me with everything you've got!

[...As for Silver, uh. He plays dirty with the pillow fights, so he's ducking his head under a pillow and trying to charge and tackle Watanuki to the ground (which apparently still counts as pillow fighting.)]

[foundfate]

[It totally does. And Watanuki is not a skilled fighter at all, so he will easily go down.]

Guh-

[And he's not yelling for a moment. Getting the wind knocked out of you will do that.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver will hit him once, then stop for a moment and leave himself open. It's no fun if Watanuki doesn't have a chance.]

Man, you totally suck at this!

[...He's smiling? No, he's laughing-]

[foundfate]

[What if Watanuki just grabs onto Silver and tries to roll them so he's on top and able to beat the shit out of him with a pillow? What then? Because even if it's not successful, that's what he's trying to do.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver will just let him, really; he'll fight back with his own pillow, but for the most part he seems perfectly content to get the shit beaten out of him and, uh... laugh like a madman, mostly.]

[foundfate]

[It's the laughter that gets him to stop, actually.]

What is wrong with you? We're fighting here, why are you laughing?!

[feistytrader]

Because you've been distant and terrifying all week, and now we're fighting.

[...He should probably explain that-]

I connect with people best by fighting them, you know.

[Maybe he's overthinking it, but for the first time this week, he finally feels like he connected with Watanuki again.]

[foundfate]

...

[He should lie about it, he should say he hasn't been distant, that he's the same as he always was-]

I'm changing, Silver. The memories I got last Sunday, they changed everything. And the ones I'll get this week, they're going to change me more. Fighting isn't going to stop it.

[It's actually kind of terrifying, now that he's actually thinking about it. He's only got part of the puzzle, but as far as he can tell, he willingly chose to become distant and aloof. To become like Yuuko, in a way. Who knows what this Sunday will bring too.]

[feistytrader]

So change back. Anyone can change. There's no such thing as too far gone or too old. Just look at Elda.

[Elda's practically a different person from who she used to be.]

...Have I ever told you about Pryce?
