w0; sunday

[sageguidance]

[ Good afternoon, Kazunari. You know that door that leads to the washroom in your room? Well, it's closed, and he'll be able to hear some thumping noises against it from the other side. ]

[dms]

[ oh! well, that's interesting!

he knocks on the door! ]

[sageguidance]

[ The only response is a squeak. ]

w0, monday

[dms]

[ welcome to camp gatonina! shame we can't explore yet, but at least we've got a beautiful view from the zipline! ]

Hm... Have you ever ridden a zipline before, Alphi?

[sageguidance]

... To speak true, I am unfamiliar with what that is.

[ Which probably answers that. ]

w0, saturday

[dms]

[ kazunari is so tired and practically boiling over with worry and even if he can't actually hide that from the emotion link, it won't stop him from trying. his smile is weak, but otherwise doesn't falter. ]

Hey, hey, Alphi! You left Moonstone in the room all day, didn't you? Do you think they got lonely while we were busy?

[sageguidance]

[ Given their natures, the link was probably barely noticeable until today, huh... Welp, yeah. Alphinaud isn't bubbling in anxiousness like him, but the vibes still aren't great. ]

Hm?

[ Oh, yeah... ]

Yes; I did not think it necessary to bring it along. [ ... ] 'Tis likely restless.

w1, monday

[dms]

[ welcome to the prism museum! you'd think kazunari would be in the art wing, but no. there are some photos that have caught his attention, and his full attention is on them with a fond smile on his face. he doesn't even notice alphinaud is here yet. approach? ]

[sageguidance]

[ Yo whaddup. Alphinaud is just wandering about when he spots Kazunari. ]

Something caught your eye?

w1; sunday

[sageguidance]

[ You know what? It's art room time, so here we are back in the good ol' prism.

Later in the day, Alphinaud can be found seated in the studio, a drawing pad settled upon his lap. He seems to be a little lost in thought as he taps the end of a charcoal stick upon the paper. ]

[dms]

[ well since this is sunday, alphi might have noticed that there is at least one fresh but unfinished painting set out in the art room, this one of a beach at nighttime.

kazu pauses when he enters, a little surprised at seeing alphi here, but he smiles. ]

So you're not just a patron of the arts, but an artist yourself? You should have told me, Alphi!

w2, monday

[dms]

Instruments...?

[ huh. okay. he wanders over to the piano and presses a couple of keys. ]

I'm not much of a musician. What about you, Alphi?

[sageguidance]

... Nor am I. I've not played an instrument afore.

w2; thursday

[sageguidance]

[ Knock knock! Someone is at your door. ]

[dms]

[ the door opens after a moment and kazunari automatically moves aside to let him in! ]

Alphi, hey! They said you decided to do the heal for me, right? Thanksies~!

w3; sunday

[sageguidance]

[ Some. where. In the mansion! Alphinaud looks 90% less like complete shit, after cleaning up, getting new clothes, and the like. Light scarring around his right eye is still obvious, but otherwise, all is peachy. Neat.

But yeah he's bumping into you, Kazu, wherever you may be. ]

—There you are.

[dms]

- Alphi! You're okay!

How're you feeling? I still have a first aid kit, if you need anything.

w4; monday

[sageguidance]

[ Somewhere in the mansion, again. Waves hands around vaguely. ]

Kazunari, I have a question for you, if you've a moment to spare.

[dms]

[ kazu was probably just hanging around and sketching as usual tbh ]

Hm? Sure, sure. What's up?

w4, saturday

[dms]

[ who knew watching a trial from this side would be almost as intense as being in the thick of it? that sucked!

so kazu gives him a gentle nudge when next they see each other. ]

You okay, Alphi? It looked like you had it rough today.

[ LIKE. THEY ALL DID. but his murderer... ]

[sageguidance]

[ That sucked! It sucks even more when you can't say or do anything to it on the side it matters on! Wahee. ]

—Me? No, no, I shall be fine. It was... much to witness, is all. I am torn on what to make of it.

w7; monday

[sageguidance]

[ With a cup of tea in hand and a carbuncle at his heels, Alphinaud goes to join Kazu in the dining area. ]

Anything new to report?

[dms]

[ squinting at the portraits... ]

They found a guy under the floorboards in the chapel! I think he disappeared again, though.

[ what ]

w7, saturday

[dms]

[ catch him FINALLY removing the clown nose and giving it one last, experimental honk. ]

Whew! Dunno what I was expecting out of playing Eurydice, but it def wasn't anything we went through today. Did you have to charades, too?

[sageguidance]

I suppose the unexpected is to be—well, expected...

[ sir your clown nose. ]

No charades, thankfully, though I would have taken it over... [ p. possession. but he trails off, then: ] Oh, never mind that! We are returned, and that is what matters.
