week 1, post trial

[yamantaka]

[ shima is just. fifty kinds of UNSURE at everything after that debacle. he's still limping forward, but has managed to bandage himself during the trial.

when he sees shiro after they leave, he debates for a moment before walking up towards him. ]

Ahh, that was a mess, wasn't it?

[lionson]

[Shiro is Mad at a lot of people, but not Shima. So when he sees Shima, he stops and he sighs.]

You can say 'shitshow', it's fine.

Though take it as a lesson to not be evasive like that if people are questioning you. I don't want you to get voted out like that too.

[yamantaka]

[ you don't need to tell him, but he nods ]

It really didn't do him any favors to do that.

[lionson]

It really didn't, no.

So don't be a little shit when it counts, got it? If I weren't already grey, I'd go grey keeping an eye out for all of you kids.

[yamantaka]

I know how to keep myself alive, don't worry!

[ gives him a smile and a laugh ]

But ya shouldn't worry too much about us.

[lionson]

I wouldn't be a good Old Man if I didn't worry about the younger generation. I know you're all capable under normal circumstances, but these aren't normal circumstances!

[yamantaka]

[ a Lot has happened since you died ]

Haah, yeah, even the stuff we have to do for cram school hasn't been this bad.

[lionson]

I'd be worried if it was.

...though uh. When we get back, let's not tell Faust about any of this. He doesn't need any ideas.

[yamantaka]

I'd be surprised if he didn't have ideas already.

Week 2, post-trial

[lionson]

[Well. He's had time to prepare, and now he's here.]

Hey.

I wish I could say I'll go easy on you, but I can't afford to now. I've got some tough questions for you.

[yamantaka]

Go for it! I've been answering a lot of questions tonight!

[lionson]

There's something wrong with the nova of some of the people here. That's why Cater was killed last week: something was wrong with her nova, and something horrible would have happened if she hadn't died.

That's what happened with Laine, isn't it? And that's why Izumo had a dream about him chasing her: it was an omen of what was to come. And you were warned about it, so you killed him to stop it.

[yamantaka]

Very astute! I see where Okumura-sensei gets it from!

[lionson]

Well yeah, I raised him. So don't dodge the question.

[yamantaka]

The dream surprised me. All I knew was that I was asked to kill Laine-san and that I had to do it to keep everybody safe.

[lionson]

So it's just like the other time.

[Hm. He doesn't like this.]

Did they say what was wrong with Laine specifically?

[yamantaka]

His nova was splintered, and that if it wasn't taken care of, then, well... [ hand gestures ]

week 4; some day before die day HANDWAVES

[yamantaka]

[ somewhere else in the house, shima is just chilling with his magazines. those memory bubbles are around and being pesky but shima's keeping an eye on them.

sup shiro? ]

[lionson]

[Shiro has been busy drafting letters to figure out just what to say to the living, but he will pause in his work when he sees Shima.]

Hey! Enjoying the present?

[yamantaka]

It's an oasis in the desert!

[ grins at him ]

[lionson]

Quite literally too, this week!

[Yes, he's laughing at his own joke. And let's say that they know what the orbs do already, so Shiro can follow up with this.]

You know, you should let me see how my boys are doing in your time. You're several months ahead of me, yeah?

[yamantaka]

The outside's nice, but it gets old after a while. [ also he's Never venturing outside again after the Scorpion fiasco ]

Haah, ya sure 'bout that?

[lionson]

I'm sure. And in return I can show you embarrassing memories about your brothers when they were in high school, so you have ammunition for teasing them later.

[yamantaka]

[ oh the magic words ]

Deal!

[ rip shima, he's going to reach out and pop one of those bubbles. the memory that plays out uh. well.

it does have one of his sons in it ]

[lionson]

[THAT MEMORY THO

The longer it goes on, the more Shiro's face drops into a dangerously neutral look.]

Shima.

Why are you trying to get my son to join the Illuminati?

[Let's focus on that instead of on Yukio offering to get Shura pregnant.]
