week 1, monday

[alteracion]

[ you know where fleas should be? at the circus. the flea circus. this is a normal circus, though, and grace is hanging out on the tight rope.

like, literally, because SOMEONE lost their grace (haha) as a skill and realized too late and now she's hanging from it and looking. so. outraged. when she spots mahito ]

A little help?

[ say it nicely, grace ]

[touchups]

[HE IS SPENDING SO MUCH TIME AT THIS DINGDANG CIRCUS but it really is where he belongs... Anyway, he's just. Trotting over when she calls out, looking more amused than anything.]

Wow... Should I ask how this happened?

[OPENING HIS ARMS THOUGH HE'LL CATCH YOU GRACE he's a buff diglett he can do it.]

[alteracion]

[ i'm going to stop tagging you immediately because of buff diglett, but no, grace just. groans. ]

I don't know, I just slipped for no reason? It's like I had no balance.

[ she takes a breath and looks under her before letting go after a moment of hesitation, because it's fine, even if he isn't a buff diglett and fails she probably won't hurt Too much. there is still a little scream when she lets go because oh god why would you ever do this on purpose ]

[touchups]

[EVERYONE RUNS FROM BUFF DIGLETT GET BACK HERE

But fortunately yeah, he may have lost his ability to throw a punch, but he is not magically a twink. He catches her without snapping in half!! There's a soft little "oof", but he barely even tips his balance until he turns to set her back on solid ground.]

Oooh... Yeah, something like that happened to me earlier, too! I just tripped in the middle of a fight.

[HE LOOKED LIKE A FUCKIN FOOL RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS OWN SALAD and also Childe.]

[alteracion]

[ grace pats herself down to make sure her clothes aren't too ruffled after this, even though they're really not that fancy to require this ]

So if it's not just me... Don't tell me they're messing with our heads again? Ughhhh.

[ this place SUCKS ]

[touchups]

[MOOD!!! His nose wrinkles and he looks toward the top of the circus tent as if it holds secrets that will explain why they are all cursed and bound in this hell.]

Yeah, Childe also tripped? It was stupid. [It was hilarious is what it was.] Are we going to have to deal with something like this every week, all week...? I want the last thing back.

[At least having jello shots and skittles rain down on you when trying to ask for something Better wasn't so bad.]

[alteracion]

See, now that you've asked for it, we'll just get something even worse next week. [ grace, your optimism. she shrugs and starts looking at the other circus things, trying very hard to not be clumsy. which is awful and rude. ] I don't get what any of this has to do with indulging ourselves.

[touchups]

Like being cursed so none of us can sleep?

[That one's already been spoken into existence and hasn't come true yet so SURELY IT'LL BE FINE..... He also just shrugs at that, slipping his hands into his pockets and moseying along after her.

Speaking of indulgences, though--]

Heard from Greed that you were the one who wrecked the music room.

[lmao]

[alteracion]

[ greed, you fucking tattletale. grace just smiles though, picking up one of the. idk, clown noses that are hanging around and going honk honk on it ]

Are they still holding a grudge about that? I just wanted to see what would happen.

[touchups]

[He absolutely just seems more amused than anything. God bless Grace, 10/10.]

They seemed pretty cranky, yeah! I think they only mentioned it because we were talking about their group in general...

[THERE'S ONLY THREE OF THEM AND YET THEY'RE ALL MISCREANTS. But he at least assumes Greed isn't going around tattling on her to everyone. Probably.]

Pretty impressive, still! No better way to find something out than to get hands-on involved, right?

[alteracion]

Exactly. You get it. [ sound less :3 about it, grace. god. greed has no luck because all three greeds are just? terrible? it's fine. ] If it's meant to be our space, I'm not sure why everyone's so mad when we do whatever we want with it.

[ a beat, as she remembers cheese and steak ]

Then again, some of the food stuff has been super gross.

[touchups]

[Greed did this, to be fair. Greed picked out all three of these feral raccoons and now probably regrets it.]

I do, I do! [HE DOES GET IT he's a very hands-on lad himself.] And I've been wondering that, too. Especially the Avatars, you know? They don't even have to live with us.

[WHY IS GLUTTONY SO ASSBLASTED!! THEIR ASH FOOD. He laughs a little at that, though...]

I still really want to know what happened the cheese. [And the steak, but mostly the cheese...] --Is the music room the only thing you were behind?

[alteracion]

Yeah, it's not like we're messing up their space.

[ THE ASH FOOD but she shrugs ]

Broke a few other things, but it all shoots out goo when you do it. It's no fun when the result is you're the mess.

[ worthless!!! ]

[i hate coming here and having to behold this flea

BUT HERE'S MAHITO, on his way?? Somewhere??? Without shoes and holding some fries?? It's fine. He'll lift a hand when he spots Grace, though. Then:]

Gotta say, I never expected you'd be a target. Why would anyone wanna kill you?

[He's talked to Grace like one whole time and still thinks she's great?? Damn.]

[alteracion]

Because she's insane, clearly? [ who's bitter? she's bitter. she will steal one of his fries. ] I'm just glad she was stupid enough to tell someone.

[touchups]

[He'll just hold his fries out; she's free to steal as many as she'd like. SHE DESERVES IT.]

Yeaaah, that's pretty... [THAT IS JUST. Hm. That's a choice.] Better for you, anyway! If Harrow's thing really was what kept you outta trouble and all.

[alteracion]

[ thanks flea you are a pal ]

I can't imagine what else it could've been. Considering we both... saw each other.

[touchups]

[Just doin' his Greed Team duty.]

Yeah... Wow, that must have been super creepy, huh.

[Waking up Thursday and then seeing your would-be killer just mosey over, stare at you and leave.....]

[alteracion]

... Yeah. Honestly, I almost thought I'd dreamed the whole thing.

[touchups]

Can't blame you. I'd probably think the same thing in your shoes... Especially since it's not like we know how the knock-out stuff actually works on Thursdays.

[WHICH IS ALARMING IN AND OF ITSELF??]

[alteracion]

We don't really know how anything works. [ IT KIND OF SUCKS AND IS TERRIBLE ] And neither do the Avatars, so that's great.

[touchups]

Yeah, that part's, uh. Hm.

["Uh, hm" is really just the best way he can describe anything having to do with the avatars at this rate, honestly.]

We have enough people poking around looking at stuff too, but it really feels like we're not that much closer to getting what's happening, huh?

[alteracion]

It kind of feels like we're all in a giant trap. Like we're... laboratory mice or something.

[touchups]

I mean... considering the reports those guys found and all, that probably isn't too far from the truth, yeah? Someone's definitely keeping an eye on us, anyway.

[Which he is not at all surprised by and has no idea why the avatars so vehemently denied it. FOOLISH.]

[alteracion]

[ there's a beat ]

I really hate this place.
