w0 ; first sunday

[polliwog]

Oh! Hello again!

[ the sim room is currently... completely underwater. it's very little mermaid vibes. he is not beating the merfish allegations. she should be able to breathe since none of it is real, at least, and sound travels in a way that is wholly unrealistic. ]

One moment...

[ all the same, a silvery platform appears, rising up out of the waves to provide some dry land for her. ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ HELP she holds her breath anyway and flails about until deposited on the platform. then lets out a gasp. ]

Aaah, that really surprised me...

[polliwog]

[ help. it's only natural. he stays wading in the water though, staying afloat just beside the platform. ]

Not to worry! It isn't real! But it certainly feels that way, doesn't it?

[sexyasmieu]

[ fortunately, anise is a kid who can bounce back from thought-she-was-going-to-drown almost immediately. ]

Yeah! I didn't know the simulations could do this...

[ she dips her hand in the water experimentally. ]

Is this what it's like where you come from?

w1 ; tues

[polliwog]

[ he's out and about the concourse, browsing the 'mall' they've basically been let loose on. he looks thoughtful. ]

Anise, if you were to receive a gift from someone you care for—what would you like most?

[sexyasmieu]

A gift!?

[ immediately excited. ]

I don't know... something valuable, like jewelry!? And you can never go wrong with money...

[polliwog]

[ love you anise you lil gold digger. ]

Oh—jewelry! [ he probably doesn't have the money for that, but obviously it's a big zora thing. ] That's an excellent one, though... Money is a bit impersonal, isn't it?

[sexyasmieu]

Not at all! They say money is a girl's best friend!

[ they do not say that. ]

But why do you ask?

Week 1, Thursday

[sexyasmieu]

[ Wherever Sidon is, Anise runs in to see him! ]

There you are! Did you get some help for your arm? It's not still bleeding, is it?

[polliwog]

[ anise you are so cute. he's chilling in the sim room, predictably looking at some water. his arm is healed over, if a little gnarly-looking, and he has his duffel bag.

he greets her with a wave since he does still have his other hand, as well as a little smile. ]

Anise! Yes, I did—the medbay is very efficient. [ though there's a lot of people using it today, so he's looking kinda banged up still. it's nothing dangerous. ] My arm is—well. It isn't as dire as it looks, I think! [ it's gone bud ]

[sexyasmieu]

It's gone!! That's as dire as it gets!!

[ coming over to fuss at him. ]

What the heck happened back there!?

[polliwog]

[ maybe it's a little dire. he looks nearly sheepish at the fussing, though he still smiles through it. it's a little tired-looking despite his efforts. ]

...I'm told it's a rather nonsensical story. We were in prison, suddenly? I don't even remember how we arrived there.

Week 2, Monday

[sexyasmieu]

[ if you're exploring the new planet, you may see Anise out in the distance, waving at you! ]

Heeeey! Can you come help me?

[ it looks like she's building a snowman. there are two parts to it: one absolutely massive ball of snow for the body, and one slightly-less-massive ball for the head. ]

I need to get this on top of that, but it's too heavy...

[ she made it too big for her to lift by herself. ]

[polliwog]

Hello, Anise!

[ he doesn't mind helping, but also, what the heck is this. ]

...What is it for?

[sexyasmieu]

It's a snowman! That's the body, and this is the head! ... Well, it'll make more sense once I have all the details added.

[ i have to know, is he the usual amount of naked or did he actually put something on for this weather ]

[polliwog]

[ HELP!!! he is at least wearing a heavy cloak, with a sort of windbreaking layer beneath. he doesn't exactly warm up like a mammal might, but frostbite is still a concern. his naked rights. ]

I see... [ he doesn't see yet but you know what ] Then let's do it!

[ he will pick up this giant snowball and hoist it onto the even bigger snowball!! ]

w4 ; weds

[polliwog]

[ post paintball, there is just a guy hanging around outside somewhere. just chillin, baldly. his expression seems like it's stuck as '_' but he waves at her. ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ HELP



stares at him. ]

[polliwog]

[ stares back shakes a little ]

w6 ; sat

[polliwog]

[ they're gonna be in the void until one of these locations compels me

but he hasn't been on the ship proper in over a month, he's exploring. ]

Anise! If you're not busy, could you show me around? So much has changed here!

[sexyasmieu]

Absolutely!

Hey, have you seen the roller rink? That's pretty fun!

[polliwog]

I've no idea what that even is! Let's go!

[ excited despite being completely unprepared for this, off they go ]

We mostly only saw spaces you all congregated in publicly—oh, and the ballroom this week? Either way, it really wasn't much of the ship...

Week 7, Monday

[sexyasmieu]

[ We've landed on the planet, and Anise is taking a look at this pink beach... ]

This would actually be really pretty if it wasn't for all the... you know.

[ Creepy shit!

But before Sidon can say anything in response, there's a void that opens up, throwing them into a memory (34:12 - 36:06)! ]

[polliwog]

It'd be better if it weren't likely all meat...

[ probably just their luck that a beach would be flesh or something. more importantly though, it's memory hours. anise is usually quite put-together, even in her exuberance—this is something of a new side to her, from his perspective. ]

...It seems you have a difficult relationship.

[sexyasmieu]

Ah...

[ looking away and emotionshare can confirm: feeling pretty guilty at seeing that. ]

... Yeah, maybe. That's one way of putting it...
