Week 0: Wednesday

[housewolf]

[Omi's in the kitchen as normal, but he seems to be bandaging up his hands. They're utterly covered in little bites and they seem like they're still bleeding...]

[fluffier]

[ Yuel looks pretty beat was she enters the kitchen, intending to grab a snack before stumbling away for a nap, but she quickly becomes more alert when she sees Omi. ]

Oh! What happened to ya?

[housewolf]

There were a bunch of leeches on our boat. Did you know leech bites just keep bleeding...?

[fluffier]

[ She makes a face. Gross. ]

Ya mean in the simulation? But I thought nothin'in there was real?

[housewolf]

That's what I thought too.

[Big sigh.]

What about you? How was it?

w1 - tuesday - kitchen

[fluffier]

[ The skill that Yuel lost... Way her ability to eat like a bottomless pit. That doesn't mean she isn't trying though, but her stomach churns after one bite of her grilled mackerel and she just.

Throws it, not realising Omi is innocently existing in the way. ]

This is the worst!

[housewolf]

[He does manage to catch it before it hits his face but-]

What the fuck?!

[fluffier]

[ Whoa! ]

Oh, sorry! Did that get ya?

[housewolf]

[Come on.]

Almost. Why are you throwin' fish around?

w2 - day 1 - rec room

[fluffier]

[ Incredibly, Yuel and Omi are running into each other outside of the kitchen for once! Even more incredible, is that the moment Yuel opens her mouth to greet him, they're both launched through time and space into the memory of an arduous battle (please pretend Yuel is in the battle party).

It lasts barely a minute before Yuel is standing there with a surprised look, though she's quick to set a hand on Omi's shoulder. ]

That didn't scare ya, did it?

[housewolf]

[He would respond to that, but the moment she puts a hand on his shoulder she gets to see a memory.

There's a much younger Omi there, maybe 10 or 11. He's got a bunch of shopping bags in his hands and he starts walking. It doesn't seem like there's any particular place he has in mind. The sun starts going down, and he finally reaches a riverbed.

That younger Omi sits there, staring at the sun and curls up. The grocery bags are sat at his side.

His thoughts drift by, I wonder how my dad and brothers are doing right now. I wonder if they're hungry. But they're always saying they want pizza, so maybe they just ordered that.

There's a tired bitterness to his thoughts. What was he trying so hard for?]

I'm fine. [Was that a dragon?]

Um... Did you see that?

[fluffier]

[ First of all, baby Omi sounds adorable and Yuel loves to see him. Except... not so dejected. ]

Yeah. [ She frowns at him. ] What were ya doin' all alone?

[housewolf]

Why were you fighting a dragon?

[That feels way more pressing??]

w2 - day 7 - kitchen

[fluffier]

[ There he is... sitting in the kitchen with the faraway look of a man who had just had someone die in his arms.

Yuel is polite first, tapping his shoulder, though she doesn't really wait for him to clue in before she's pulling him into a hug. ]

Omi...

[housewolf]

[He's startled out of it when he's being hugged.]

Yuel...

[It takes a moment, but he's hugging back.]

[fluffier]

[ She gives him a good squeeze while holding him, a small warning before she lifts one hand to smack him across the head, facing him with a frown. ]

Ya worried a lotta people today, ya know.

[housewolf]

... I deserved that.

[He doesn't even try to dodge it.]

w3, Thursday

[housewolf]

[It's a long while after the CYOA crew came back from whatever they were doing and Omi can be found with a bunch of dogs running around his feet.]

[fluffier]

[ Yuel also likes doggos, and she's in the mood for unconditional affection when she wanders in, perking up when she sees Omi. ]

Heya Omi, makin' friends with the dogs?

[housewolf]

[One of the smaller dogs perks up and runs directly at her, taking a seat and wagging its tail so hard.]

Yeah. It's nice to hang out with them, right?

[fluffier]

[ she doesn't waste any time in getting down on her knees so that she can properly give the good boy the pets he deserves ]

Yeah, I'm surprised there's such a relaxin' place here. I think I have a new favourite.

w7 - thursday
