week 0, friday

[jiaohua]

[morning is perhaps a little early for alcohol, but someone is double-dead, so you know what, all bets are off. which isn't to say waner is getting plastered, because she isn't; rather, she's seated at a table with her phone open to the death announcement, a notebook in which she's scribbling notes in front of her, and a small glass of rice wine off to the side.

there's a lipstick stain on the rim, and it seems there's just a bit of the liquid missing; she's only taken a sip or two. but her brows are pinched, and after a moment, she takes another sip before scribbling something else down.

she doesn't seem to notice anyone approaching, but she also seems to be focusing pretty hard.]

[florescences]

[ wow! like you aren't going to smash betray on the whole game first?

it's fine... alcohol is universal in a time like this. elysia isn't going to judge after a death announcement.

she slips into the seat across from waner. ]

Hi. [ a fraction quieter than usual to not surprise too much. ] How are you feeling?

[jiaohua]

[she looks up, a little startled, but not as much as she would have been if elysia had been louder.]

Ah! ...hello. [...] I'm... well, of course I'm upset about all this. What about you?

[florescences]

Startled. Confused and worried for what we don't know yet. Wanting to know the truth as much as anyone else.

Can I ask what you're writing?

[jiaohua]

I am trying to organize my thoughts.

[she turns the notebook so that elysia can see the last few lines she's written. her handwriting is elegant.]

- Charlie did not seem to be in ill health, so it is unlikely this was a natural death
- Remiel's reaction in the message they did not mean to send suggests that as well
- Likely an intentional act, then, but who would do such a thing and what would the motive be?
- What could someone have gained from this that would be worth hurting someone so well-liked?

week 0, saturday

[jiaohua]

[well! that sure was a trial.

once it's over and they leave the church, waner just heads straight for the garden in the park instead. who cares if it's late? she needs some fresh air. and maybe a walk among the flowers will help her get her head on straight again.

she nods when she hears the footsteps of someone approaching, though. hello.]

[florescences]

[ it sure was a trial.

elysia will come and walk by her side. ]

Hi, Waner. What thoughts are running through your head right now?

[jiaohua]

None that I care to put to paper. [...] And you, Miss Elysia?

[florescences]

I don't need it on paper.

[ she smiles. ]

I'm thinking I want to hear whatever you don't want anyone else to hear.

week 2, tuesday

[florescences]

Waner, would you like to take a walk with me through the garden?

[ the.... multiple gardens they now have. ]

[jiaohua]

Of course, Miss Elysia. I would like that very much.

[to olive garden they go...!!]

[florescences]

[ as they walk: ]

I'm fond of flowers.... I like the meaning behind how they bloom. Do you like flowers?

[jiaohua]

I do. They've very pretty to look at, and the scents are lovely. [a beat...] What do you mean, the meaning behind how they bloom?

week 4, monday

[florescences]

[ hello, waner, would you like to feel loved? because that's the emotion elysia is putting forth. it's love. ]

Waner~

[ she lifts a hand to wave. ]

Are you going to write any letters?

[jiaohua]

[well, elysia will feel the emotional equivalent of a ?! in return. how can one person be so full of live...]

...I am consiering it.

[she will ultimately not write any this week because work kicked my ass and i wasn't able to get anything drafted but it's fine.]

I imagine you are planning to? Or perhaps you have written some already.

[florescences]

[ free britt from work. ]

Uh-huh. I'm doing them in small batches. [ to save me, ara. ] Although I might only stick to a number of people instead of everyone.

[jiaohua]

If you stick to just some... how do you decide who to write to?

week 4, sunday

[florescences]

[ miss waner, how are you doing after this wild weekend?

elysia is coming to check in on her. ]

Hi~

[jiaohua]

[what a weekend...]

Miss Elysia... hello.

[the way you wrote this starter before claudegate. do we acknowledge that happened because i wasn't able to tag before now or no.]

[florescences]

[ what a weekend!

unfortunately, after claudgate, elysia would actually give people some space and let people approach her instead. ]

How are you feeling?

[jiaohua]

...tired, I suppose, though I imagine others are more tired.

week 6, tuesday

[florescences]

[ sets this to tuesday since you're est

elysia is in the hotel lobby, working on something that looks like a scrapbook. she waves whenever she sees waner pass by. ]

[jiaohua]

[she waves back, then wanders over.]

...what are you making?

[florescences]

A scrapbook. I'm recording memories with pictures and stickers and notes.

[ nothing is taped or glued in. it just looks like elysia is trying to find an arrangement she's satisfied with. ]

[jiaohua]

[huh. they do not have scrapbooks in daxing.

waner takes a closer look, curious.]

Oh... those stickers are very cute.
