w0 ; first saturday

[polliwog]

[ now that they have been unleashed upon the ship... ]

Hey—Dahut! [ HI ] Look here!

[ GESTURES BROADLY AT THE OBSERVATION DECK WINDOW. LOOK AT SPACE. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[UNLEASHED... Dahut is just zooming over, now in his french orphan attire sans lab coat. But still with gloves? Don't worry about it. He's pressing those lil gloved paws right up against the glass, no fear.]

It's wonderful! Have you ever seen anything quite like it?! I never have in all my life!

w0 mon

[artificialsweetener]

[Hewwo Sidon... The next time he's moseying through the observation deck just MINDING HIS SWEET BUSINESS, maybe he'll bump into something? A little lump of something that he might not see given how dark the deep outreaches of space are, wow. When he looks down, he'll see what appears to be a bundle of white fabric! Wow! That's weird. Take a closer look, maybe?]

[polliwog]

[ wow a CURIOUS AND TOTALLY INNOCENT LUMP OF FABRIC!!! what could it be? he crouches down beside it to investigate—maybe someone dropped it? ]

w0 thurs! heh

[artificialsweetener]

[WELL GUESS WHO'S DELIGHTEDLY TROTTING SIDON'S WAY on this the last day of his life! It's Dahut! He has a tray balanced in one hand and a pitcher of water in the other.]

Good day, Monsieur Sidooon! I know that you don't eat cooked things, but would you care for a glass of water after all of that alcohol last night?

[ARE YOU HUNGOVER SIR.]

[polliwog]

[ my inbox is calming down after the bomb you and pixi left on our doorsteps. but i haven ot recovered. i am curisng you to 100 years of endgame.

sidon appears to be doing great but would still accept a glass. ]

Dahut! Good morning to you! [ his lil green bean guy!! ] I would love some water. Is everyone doing all right after yesterday?

w2 sat

[artificialsweetener]

[WELL THAT'S A TRIAL HUH. Wow. Can't even sit here laughing about how nu is finally dead because everyone else is also dead NOT ANOTHER 4 BODY WEEK 2.

Dahut is at a bit of a loss here because he can fuss over everyone else with the questionable food they have, but SIDON CAN'T EAT PIES SO WHAT NOW!! Now all he can do is approach with some water, looking subdued. He's not a big reactor and had pretty much remain unfased through that whole vote debacle, but the air of unhappiness is ALIVE AND WELL.

Fortunately this isn't Matsui and he's perfectly capable of shelving that displeasure to focus on Sidon who is probably doing worse considering it was his case and his killer.]

Monsieur Sidon, can I get anything for you...? We don't have much to offer... There's a beach that you might be able to fish something up at, but...

[polliwog]

[ NOT ANOTHER 4 BODY WEEK 2 at least i'm here. he really will not be eating anything today but later he will eat some pie filling. or something. WHAT A LIFE.

he accepts the water with a little smile. ]

Oh, it's all right. I'm very good at fishing—if there's a beach, that'll be enough!

[ he takes a sip and goes back to staring at whatever. ]

Though I suppose I should take care not to die again.

w3 mon

[artificialsweetener]

[SENDS YOU THE MOST USELESS MEMSHARE STARTER because it's just Dahut standing and peering around a corner, back facing wherever Sidon currently is. Is he watching for someone? Or something?? Maybe there's a ritualistic rat sacrifice he's accidentally witnessing... Go blow his cover...

HERE'S MY MENU i have things ranked by spoily level in case you plan on playing virche and want to dodge anything POINTS]

[polliwog]

[ yeah it's a ritual rat sacrifice! get some of these rats OUTTA HERE!

no, he'll tap his shoulder as he approaches. ]

Everything all right, Dahut—? [ no it's RIFT HOURS hit me with one of the moderate ones, whichever feels right ]

w3 ; thurs

[polliwog]

Dahut!

[ he's bringing a blanket. where from? idk. he probably has one from his pod that he doesn't use because he sleeps in a cave pond. ]

Are you all right now!?

[artificialsweetener]

[HELP the way that Dahut is IN HIS POD SO SIDON TRULY HAS TO WALK LIKE 2 FEET. He chose to be here because no one ever is and this is just proving him more correct. This graveyard is full of freaks :amen:

He'll reach out with both hands for the blanket, though.]

I'm feeling much better, yes! I'm so sorry about earlier...!

[Even though he kicks like a cattail and wasn't able to succeed in climbing Sidon like at tree.]

w3 sat

[artificialsweetener]

[WELL THAT SURE WAS A LAST 10 MINUTES HUH. Dahut is just going to mosey off to find Sidon an hour or so after that shitshow ends... He's got another glass of water in his hands. This is all he can offer. Fucking help.

He'll hold it up once he finds Sidon wherever he happens to be, though!]

That was a lot!

[TO SAY THE LEAST.]

[polliwog]

[ HELLO UN PETITE GREEN BEAN he'll take the water and since he has actually had a water source again, he will drink this and not just dump it on his head.

he takes a sip. ]

It was a lot of foolishness!

w4 mon

[artificialsweetener]

[kneeslides in for my weekly nu pc

Which starts later in the day, probably after town hall unless something buckwild happens. Wherever Sidon is, Dahut will approach! And immediately reach to whappypaws his arm a bit once he's within range.]

Monsieur Sidon, are you busy right now?

[polliwog]

[ collects you in my spindly spider arms

he immediately reaches out to ruffle and completely ruin and muss up dahut's hair in his eagerness. ]

Dahut! Not at all! What is it?

w4 sat

[artificialsweetener]

[WELL HE FINALLY HAS SOME FISH FOR SIDON. FINALLY!! FINALLY HE CAN FUSS!!!!! Which is to say, a couple of hours after trial ends, he'll be hunting Sidon down with a plate in one hand and a glass of water in the other AS USUAL. Feeding time at the zoo.]

Monsieur Sidon, have you eaten yet? ...Rather, do you have the appetite?

[polliwog]

[ HELP ME.. HE'S FINALLY ARMED WITH FISH!!!!

sidon is probably at the koi pond, legs dipped into the water when he tips his head back to see dahut. ]

...I should eat something to keep my strength up regardless! [ he doesn't have much of an appetite but it's probably better than eating one of the koi... ] Wouldn't it be nice, to ever have a satisfactory result from a Saturday?

[ one where they could just eat after and be merry ]

w5 ; mon

[polliwog]

[ we are back at the night market, but not for food this time. he's looking at clothing stalls. ]

Dahut... what sort of— [ flipping curiously past like, a yukata. ] fashion do you enjoy?

[ asymmetrical shorts wearin ass ]

[artificialsweetener]

[SIDON DOESN'T KNOWWW HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT DAHUT'S OUTFIT IS SO FUCKING STUPIDDD WHY IS HE DIDDLE DIDDLE DUMPLING MY SON JOHN WALKING AROUND WITH TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF TROUSERS ON. Anyway he's rusting a nice ring around his neck at the moment so he's not opposed to the idea of looking for some new clothing, and will move to bump into Sidon's side as he looks. Hopefully he is not rusting there.]

I haven't really given it much thought! There aren't diverse styles in Arpéchéle, really...

[They're all just vaguely Les Mis with random-ass modern elements.]

w5 ; thurs

[polliwog]

[ whoops sorry for dying on you, buddy. after he's healed, he's out there in one of the cavern pools, mostly spending his time in the depths. but despite the not-fantastic lighting, he can be spotted by some red spots along his skin.

also, he does reemerge from the water to see dahut. immediately: ]

I'm so sorry, my friend. I shouldn't have made you do that.

[artificialsweetener]

[YOU REALLY DID THAT!!!!!

It's fine, though; he'll carefully wander through this dimly lit cavern where he's definitely just tripped and fallen into pools he didn't see at least once, but when he sees Sidon, he'll move that way a little faster. On arriving there, he'll kneel next to the pool, holding a hand out toward their communal shark.]

Oh, please don't apologize... I hope that everyone will be able to continue treating death with the levity and respect it deserves- [THINKS ABOUT VIKTOR JUST YELLING DOES ANYONE NEED TO DIE.] -but it's the most merciful option, with the tools we currently have. I would rather not see anyone suffer...

s6 ; mon

[polliwog]

[ they are on their way to the rat king's castle or wherever, though sidon will stop dahut whenever he sees him regardless. ]

Say, Dahut—would you mind building something for me?

SEASON 6??

[artificialsweetener]

[HELP intercepted on his way to the rat king's castle... His expression lights up, though!]

I'll do my best depending on what it is! There are some things out of my expertise, after all... What is it?

w6 thurs

[artificialsweetener]

[WELL HE'LL CRAWL BACK OUT OF DEATH EVENTUALLY AS HE ALWAYS DOES. And he looks just as fine as he always does?? In fact, he doesn't seem to be perturbed by whatever the hell transpired today at all. He's just dressing himself in a new set of clothes, boundlessly bright in his optimism.]

Oh— Hello, Monsieur Sidon! Will you help me zip the back of this?

[polliwog]

[ well that's weird. not that dahut isn't a sunny person usually, and he bounced back fast the last few times he's DIED but this is next level brightness. ]

...Of course!

[ he helps with the zipper, carefully. it's kind of small and fiddly for him, but he's dexterous. ]

You seem... well?

w7 ; mon

[polliwog]

[ i don't have any more memories for you so they can hug after their organ failure ]

That's different!

[ wipes some blood off his face i guess ]

[artificialsweetener]

[SOMEHOW I MISSED THIS NOOOOO well it's fine HUG IT OUT TIME. He also spits some blood into his hands politely.]

I didn't like that.

w7 ; sat

[polliwog]

[ he's already parading dahut on his shoulders, wherever they are. ]

That last cannon shot was immaculate!

[ hell yeah... cannon 6 redemption arc..... ]

[artificialsweetener]

[HELP THEY'RE JUST WALKING THROUGH THE SHIP LIKE THIS. Dahut goes between throwing his arms up in celebratory whoops and just hugging Sidon's head.]

Thank you, thank you! We came together really well, I think!

[THEIR REDEMPTION ARC.]
