WEEKEND 0, SATURDAY.

[propense]

[ choo choo, the train has arrived in the subway tunnels! its door are open and welcoming them to a fun ride, surely right??? ]

Have you taken a ride on it yet?

[hasteful]

Not yet, not yet! I've just been on the tracks.

[is, is that safe,]

Should we go together?

[propense]

[ it's not safe but ] I've given it a quick look around as well. [ bad!!! they nod, moving to aboard the train. ]

It would be nicer with company.

[ riding it solo would mean being left with your Thoughts. and Setsu would rather focus on learning more of the others anyways. ]

[hasteful]

[setsu r u ok

like buzen wants to learn about others too, but he also doesn't have Thoughts to be left alone with,

but he'll follow after!]

Agreed! We haven't gotten a chance to chat much... Setsu-san? Right? Did I get it right?

[he's testing his memory from the profile...]

week zero monday

[hasteful]

[probably in one of the new locations, zetsu my dear pick one -

but compared to Adults(tm) who are getting buzen's polite greeting of a hand on a shoulder he'll just automatically scoop setsu into a hug that picks them up right off the ground!]

Setsu-san! Good to see you!

[ok you big golden retriever of a man]

[propense]

[ SPINS THE WHEEL park it is!! it's probably the sound of footsteps that alert them of Buzen's company, but it doesn't prepare them for the sudden SCOOP HUG

they yelp a little in surprise. ]

B-Buzen?! [ They blink in a stupor but awkwardly pat his shoulder after a moment... help, they don't know what to do with this. ] H-Hello, good morning.. did you receive some good news?

[ because that seems like a good explanation for the happy retriever dog behavior surely. ]

[hasteful]

[he seems to think about it for a moment before laughing]

Mm, I guess? We did get a team down, so that's a relief. But mostly I think it's fun to have all this new space to see, and I'm glad to see you too!!

[so he just. zoomed in and got affectionate, as buzens are wont to do. when he's set her back down on the ground, he'll also just. keep holding onto her loosely - it's clearly loose enough that she can step out at any time she wants, but he's also not letting go first.

sometimes you are just a very touchy person,]

[propense]

Ah, that's right, I saw the update with your team earlier. Though.. I'm not too surprised to see you, Matsui and Rang Lee have teamed up. Rang Lee did mention that if he considered anyone to team up, it would be you and Matsui.

[ when they're set back down, they seem to relax more. they were certainly surprised, but the contact wasn't something that bothered them. maybe that's why they don't step back and away. just blinking a bit up at them. help setsu really is small compared to the gous. ]

It's good to see you as well, Buzen. Especially in such high spirits.

week zero friday

[hasteful]

[buzen was running around - and then he's running FASTER once he actually sees setsu]

Setsu-san! Are you okay? Rang-san said you were hurt!

[and he just got worried about it...]

[propense]

He did?

[ well, Rang was there but, they didn't think he would mention it to anyone? visibly, Setsu doesn't have that teal-colored outer jacket of theirs, just wearing a simple black and purple undershirt. but their left arm does seem to be a bit wrapped with some fabric. ]

Ah, yes, I'm alright. Gyuhyuk Lee and I just had a bit of a run-in with a train during our investigation.

[hasteful]

[maybe things happen that lead to rang sharing that information

buzen's brow furrows a little bit at the fabric wrap...]

Mm, right - that's still not great... A healer hasn't gotten to your injury yet? Should I find one for you?

WEEK 1, MONDAY.

[propense]

[ i want to see buzen's attempt at chariot racing so bad. ]

Have you done something like this before, Buzen?

[hasteful]

[he's gonna be good at it but,]

Nope! But I'm pretty good when it comes to driving and riding, so it should be fine!

[propense]

Ah, so you're making use of your past experiences.

[ makes sense to them! they nod, but they may stay in the seating area... chariot racing looks like it could go wrong very easily. ]

Well, I wish you luck, though try to be a bit careful?

WEEK 1, SATURDAY.

[propense]

[ the struggle of finding one sword without the other... but Setsu is looking for him! wherever he is. ]

[hasteful]

[aki and i make this shit up for why they're apart

we'll say outside cathedral for variety. when they approach, he'll offer up a tentative smile like he's not sure if his presence is welcome or not]

I can go, if you need this spot.

[propense]

[ well aki gave me matsui inside the cathedral praying so this is so funnily accurate. they quickly shake their head, coming closer ]

No, it's alright. I was hoping to see you... [ they go quiet for a moment, remembering buzen's words, "So let's just make sure we keep looking out for each other." ...they do still think Buzen to be a genuine person. ] I'm.. sure I'm not the only person who has questions for your team.

[ was it you? did you know? were you trying to cover for another? ]

WEEK 2, MONDAY.

[propense]

[ me like of course Buzen will be at the skate park c'mon. what's this silly sword boy up to? Setsu is mostly looking around. ]

[hasteful]

[buzen is already default levels of happy here - so curious and excited to look at all these different things on wheels - but then he brightens up even more still to see setsu! truly such a warm feeling to see them]

Yo, Setsu-san! Do you know what this place is...?

[he's never been to a skate park before!]

[propense]

[ the emotions simmering from Setsu is calm, quiet, though briefly surprise at buzen's energy. before it turns into a distant feeling of loneliness. even so, they answer Buzen with a greeting smile. ]

Personally, I can't say I do. Not really anything like this in my interstellar travels. But I've heard a bit about it!

[ gestures to some of the equipment nearby; bikes, skateboards, rollerskates, and rollerblades.. SO MANY AND FOR WHAT? MURDER? ] It's another place for entertainment, you skate and ride around.

WEEK 6, THURSDAY.

[propense]

[ after their text exchange with Matsui, and prob before party things... Setsu will seek Buzen out!! ]

..How are you feeling? [ there is clear concern and a look of guilt. I'm sorry. ]

[hasteful]

[honestly he was probably running laps at the park like a fucking hamster on a wheel but he'll slow when he sees setsu

though at the stray thought, he'll address that first - ]

Don't say sorry. It's not your fault. You don't control what happens on those missions.

[propense]

[ that image is so funny. i'm happy for hamster buzen. ]

...I understand.

[ it does not really alleviate the guilty look though. How many loops did you... ]

WEEK 7, MONDAY.

[propense]

Today has been... exciting, to say the least. It was good seeing them all. Though trying to follow them around proved to be a bit challenging.

[ it is a mix of emotions here because they are under emotion share at the moment. it's wistful, deep longing, some ache. ]

Hopefully, it becomes a bit more permanent soon. [ a small smile at him. ] How was it for you Buzen? After all this time.

[hasteful]

[awwww setsu. buzen's emotions are stable and calm, with just some sprinkles of guilt and care alike. when he looks over at them, it's that same feeling of fondness from weeks ago just amplified]

Nice, I think? I'm surprised how many of them remember me.

[he truly is

so used to being forgotten]
