[HERE HE IS, JUST. STILL HANGING OUT IN THE OFFICE. WITH A RABBIT ON HIS FACE. He's lying deadass across the floor like a corpse. He's been here for hours by this point, probably.

But he's still apparently attuned enough to talk as soon as he hears someone else enter the area.]

If you haven't tried holding any of these little fellows yet, you really should!

[fishingforcompliments]

[She's showered, she's had a change of clothes, and now ... there are rabbits. One of them is occupied with him, but she kneels down to pet one of the others.

The invitation is unnecessary. From the moment she laid eyes on them there was no choice but to play with them.]

They are so cute...

w0, wednesday

[fishingforcompliments]

[i'm mean so flayn got the dancer outfit as her change of clothes. but! there's something else she received in the box in her cabin, and she waits a few days before doing anything with it.

on wednesday, though, she seeks wei wuxian out, a small voodoo doll in one hand.]

Excuse me, Wei Wuxian? Do you have some spare time?

[givethemhell]

[The fact that it's not even halfway through week 0 and people already know to come to Wei Wuxian for weird bullshit black magic voodoo nonsense though.

Anyway he just BEAMS!! He'd been in the middle of building a tiny stack of peanut shells in the cafeteria area, which he just sweeps to the side of the table so she can take a seat...]

Of course, of course! Plenty of time to spare, here. Need help with a task?

w0, friday

[fishingforcompliments]

[well, this sucks.

flayn's ducked out of the rain and is perusing her travel guide. when she sees wei wuxian pass by, she beckons him over.]

...it was only a matter of time after all. Perhaps we ought to have tried to make use of the doll sooner.

[givethemhell]

[OVER HE GOES, and he just-- Hm. Yeah, it sure does suck. He gives her a smile, but it's a little tight.]

...Mm, well. There was no way to know with certainty until this morning. Now we know, and we can take actions accordingly.

w0, saturday

[fishingforcompliments]

[That was a lot. That was so much.

Flayn's taken a brief rest post-trial, but now she's out and wandering, which means her path is going to cross with Wei Wuxian's eventually. Never mind the fact that she looks like she's staring into the void.]

[givethemhell]

[Haha! He's seen that look before! Very bad. He'll stop in his moseying too when he spots her, tucking a jar under his arm.]

You look like you could sleep for a good year or five, friend.

w1 thursday

[givethemhell]

[Fuckin FLAYN and britt you're also a bastard hot damn. WELL. Wherever Flayn has been toted away to for healing, Wei Wuxian will be there an hour or two after things calm down. He saw shit roll out while it was happening but he has None Medical Supplies, so he just kinda let Dick and Stephanie handle it and kept an eye on things.

But there's one thing he can help with, at least!! He's got a cup in his hands whenever he finds Flayn. He's holding it carefully, and offers her a small smile.]

Holding up alright? You three certainly got an early start on finding trouble this time, hah.

[fishingforcompliments]

[looks at the mingle i guess she's being treated by dick at the sports court?? but if it's an hour or two later he'll probably catch her in ant cabin, before she inevitably tries to sneak out to go check on people.

she isn't on one of the beds, because her bunk is the top bunk and climbing the later is a bad idea, and she doesn't want to risk bleeding all over her cabinmates' sheets. she's propped up a pillow for her back and is leaning against a wall, it's fine.]

I am... [well. not fine. obviously.] ...I can handle this. But I did not realize we would be stumbling into quite this much trouble.

w1, sunday

[fishingforcompliments]

[what's up, wwx! there's, like, zero appeal about being near the bonfire after that execution, so once beau's wounds have been seen to, flayn can be found...

...out at the lake!

specifically, at the edge of the dock, staring out at the water. she looks to be deep in thought.]

[givethemhell]

[The lake is good, he still likes the lake even though a lot of shit happened around here over the weekend. He'll approach - careful to keep his footsteps decently loud so he doesn't startle her, hopefully. Once he reaches where she's sat, he'll just take a seat right beside her.]

Hope I'm not interrupting. Is it fine if I sit here?

w2, friday

[fishingforcompliments]

[God, could people PLEASE stop dying?

(No. The answer is no.)

Anyway, Flayn is on her way back from the lake, and she doesn't look happy. No one is happy because, after all, murder happened, but. Hi, WWX! She seems deep in thought about something and may not remember to step out of the way to let him pass.]

[givethemhell]

[HE'D LOVE IT IF PEOPLE WOULD STOP DYING!!

Anyway, for the hilarity of this, he'll stop shy to talk to her but when she accidentally clips into his shoulder he immediately says:]

Watch where you're going, you absolute— [AND THAT'S ALL HE GETS OUT BEFORE HE SLAPS HIS HANDS OVER HIS MOUTH. There's something muffled behind his hand and he looks apologetic?!]

w2, saturday

[fishingforcompliments]

[chop! chop! chop!

it sounds like someone is chopping something in the kitchen. very loudly. very threateningly.

...oh, it's flayn. it's probably fine, but the carrot she's slicing is suffering greatly.]

[givethemhell]

[Hm. WELL. He was gonna try cooking something anyway, but he sure can't blame Flayn for being Like This in the face of... y'know. A second week of failing in a row.

He walks in and regards her back with a soft expression though, and after a second, moves forward toward part of the unoccupied counterspace.]

I hope you don't mind if I join you...?

w2 monday!

[givethemhell]

[Sometime in the afternoon, Wei Wuxian can be found just sort of chilling at the edge of the pool in Plasmatio's portal. He likes the water!! And while he really enjoys the lake, the osmosis vibe of the pool area is hard to resist. Too bad it's like, impossible to relax anywhere at any time thanks to MURDER.

He beams her way whenever she happens to mosey this way!]

Come, come! Join me, won't you? The water's lovely for dipping your feet in.

(here are your picks for memories!! LMK WHICH U WANT also gimme flayn mems)

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, wow! It is lovely here—

[Flayn sits down, intending to remove her sandals so she can dip her feet in the wtaer. Too bad it's going to get a lot less lovely in a few seconds, because I want either the Xianshe summoning ritual or the murder of Wen Chao & co, whichever you've gotten fewer requests for already.

As for Flayn memories, tell me if you want a shitpost, something a little more serious, or the forbidden flayn lore!]

w3 friday

[givethemhell]

[WELL. HERE IS WEI WUXIAN. Wei Wuxian is sitting on the kitchen floor instead of cooking right now, bad leg stretched out in front of him. He's also shivering uncontrollably and his teeth are chattering. It's fine. Whenever Flayn meanders in or walks by through the mess hall, he'll glance up and over, calling out:]

--Is this the way it was, for you?

[With so many bodies turning up at once.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[She's. Coming into the kitchen? She's carrying a teapot and a teacup and she's got a wholeass bag of sugar tucked under her arm.

When she gets there she starts to make a beeline for the stove - but then WWX speaks up.]

...yes, it was.

[also she's wearing yin yu's outer robe (it's way too big on her) which i forgot about don't look at me]

w3 saturday

[givethemhell]

[STRESS COOKIIING. Wei Wuxian is here in the kitchen, making his usual "I WILL feed everyone in camp" meal whenever Flayn moseys in next. Funny how bad everything feels even when they didn't get someone innocent!! Haha.

He'll look up though, and gently start to move things to one side of the counter.]

Need the space this time, friend?

[fishingforcompliments]

[They didn't get someone innocent, but she doesn't really feel good about this, either. Flayn wonders if that's how all of them are seeing. Even if you ignore the effect this is going to have on Beau - and that isn't something easily ignored - there are still three bodies with killers unaccounted for.

This doesn't feel like a victory.]

...I do not need much space. Just enough to heat some water for tea.

w3 sunday

[givethemhell]

[Wei Wuxian is in the kitchen! He's packing a little bag with some of the bao he made the day before, but he certainly has time to stop and offer Flayn a smile when she comes in.]

How are you holding up?

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah... as well as can be expected.

[So, not very. She smiles back at him, though - but a moment later, her expression becomes a little more serious.]

...Wei Wuxian, when you have time... could I ask a favor of you?

w4, saturday

[fishingforcompliments]

[After the trial, Flayn wants to avoid as many people as possible - so she heads for the music cabin, assuming that no one will look for her in the cabin where she got her face slashed up on a breakin.

Wei Wuxian is already there, though, and she pauses in the door way as she enters, a little uncertain.]

[givethemhell]

[HE SURE IS, perched on the bench in front of the piano. He's propping his head up with one hand, gently dinking out soft little notes and keys in no particular order with the other.

He pauses when Flayn walks in though, posture straightening a bit.]

--Sorry, did you want the piano? I can get out of your way, hah.

w5 friday

[givethemhell]

[HE SAW FLAYN HEAD OFF TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS!! And after he's reasonably sure he can scoot away without catching the attention of his babysitters he is

hammertime shuffling his way... after her... HIS BONES.]

Flayn—! Wait up for a moment--

[fishingforcompliments]

[If Wei Wuxian wasn't one of the other mafia members - well, she wouldn't have stopped.

But she is, and she does, and as distraught as her expression is, she still manages to look concerned over his injuries as she hurries back.]

Ah - I am sorry, Wei Wuxian...

w5 saturday

[givethemhell]

[HOOOGHHHH THAT HAPPENED A LOT. Naturally, he's chasing Flayn down after the trial. Or, like. Hobbling. Hobble-chasing. BAD NEWS BEARS ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST FOR THEIR CRIMINAL WAYS.

Anyway.]

--If I'm selfish enough to ask for your company now, would you be willing to give that to me?

[fishingforcompliments]

[WWX stop chasing her down when you're already injured challenge!

Flayn stops, but only because she doesn't want him to get hurt worse. She's already crying, though. She'd barely managed to keep it together long enough to run out before anyone could spot her.

(Or maybe it was the confession rule that stopped her tears until now?)]

That— How could that happen—?!

w6, saturday

[fishingforcompliments]

[That was a lot. That was all a lot, and when the birthday party breaks up, Flayn finds herself catching up to WWX as quickly as she can. Does she know what she's going to say? No... But still.

Whatever they might face tomorrow, she wants to spend time with people who are important to her, if she can.]

Wei Ying...!

[god i've deadass had this tag sitting here because i thought i sent it before i got dragged out but no, i never hit post comment, i SUCK]

[givethemhell]

[I'M LOSING MY MIND I LOVE YOU BRITT

Anyway, Wei Wuxian is absolutely opening his arms to her when he hears her! If she lets him, he will scoop her right into them and give her a little swing.]

Ah, my dear! That was the worst birthday party I've ever been to!
