W0: Monday

[rescuebullet]

[ She's found herself at the library, just curious about if there's anything about this place here.

If there is... it's hard to figure it out with the haphazard way this place was organized. Or maybe was never organized. ]

This is harder than I thought...

[robopriest]

[Oh, hey, someone is already here. Hansa glances over, before wandering over, curious.]

Please tell me you're not taking it on yourself to organize this mess.

[rescuebullet]

I thought about it, but... I have to admit it's beyond me.

[ This is Much Worse than she would've expected. ]

[robopriest]

Hmmmm.

[And a little huff of his own.]

Give up on it, then. Unless you're a big headache lover?

[rescuebullet]

I'd rather be clear-headed.

[There's a flitting expression, hard to read, before it turns to considering the library.]

I was just wondering if there was anything about this place.

W1: Monday

[rescuebullet]

[ She steps into the infirmary and starts inspecting it for any specks of dust that might possibly be around. ]

It's actually well kept...

[ Pleasantly surprised. ]

[robopriest]

It is!

[He's piping up from the doorway, glancing around.]

Here I thought we'd have like, a dingy shed. This is nice.

[rescuebullet]

I was so worried it would be run down and awful. If somebody's hurt, an infirmary should be clean, without a speck of dust.

[robopriest]

Huh.

[He steps in, gives a little spin on his feet.]

Do you know your way around an infirmary, Nozomi?

[rescuebullet]

I spent a lot of time in hospitals when I was little.

WEEK 2 TUESDAY

[robopriest]

[A certain eyepatched someone can be found in the reptile house. No, not the wizard-hatted one. No, not the green-haired one.]

[A priest, who is mildly looking at the snakes in one corner with wary interest. He glances over.]

I don't know about you, but they look pretty comfortable.

[rescuebullet]

[ So many eyepatch men in this game.

She's observing the animals in their tanks, fascinated to see reptiles at all. ]

Do you think so? I can't really read their expressions.

[robopriest]

Look at them! They're snoozing. Taking their well-earned nap.

[If only they could get naps....wait. They could. Never mind.]

I wonder why we even have them, though...

[rescuebullet]

[ Everybody should get napping right now.

Free Time? Zzzzz.

Their only schedule is apparently on the weekend. ]

Maybe somebody really likes lizards?

[robopriest]

Do you think it's one of those four puppets? Since they were saying that torture place might be Lobelia's...

[Who is the lizard fan...]

Are you a lizard fan, Nozomi?

W4: Monday

[rescuebullet]

[ She's got a hand on a wall in the boarding house, slowly making her way outside.

And walks directly into Hansa's back. ]

S-sorry!

[ No idea who this is. ]

[robopriest]

...!

[He's turning around, looking down, and...]

...Nozomi? Are you okay?

[rescuebullet]

[ She looks in his direction, but does not meet his eyes. ]

I'm okay. I'm just ... having a hard time seeing right now.

[ Temporarily blind. ]

I really don't know what's going on.

[robopriest]

Oh.

[That's...]

I would hope you didn't drink the well water. [Lame attempt at a joke, as he grasps her shoulder lightly.] Let's fine a place to sit. I think this place is messing with us in new ways.

[rescuebullet]

I didn't... unless that's what the rain is made out of.

[It could be. Who knows with this place.

But she will let him lead.]

It's a new week, so I guess this is part of the... normal weirdness?

Week 5: Monday

[rescuebullet]

[ It's strange to see the sky like this. After years of being under an artificial one, and then a few weeks of this place's, she's clearly taken in with the way the shooting stars race across the twilight.

She's unaware of the wish that's made it's way to Hansa in just a few hours. I wish my mom was still alive. - Nozomi Kirifuji. ]

[robopriest]

[...]

[What a wish.]

[He's thoughtful as he walks up, also sparing a look up above.]

...For all this place's wretchedness, it's beautiful, isn't it?

[rescuebullet]

Yeah... It can be really beautiful sometimes. I've never seen a sky like this before.

It would be much better if it wasn't so dangerous.

[robopriest]

Haha, right. This could be a vacation hotspot, perhaps.

[Absolutely not.]

[He glances over at her. He would say something here, another pithy little remark, but...what comes out instead, is-]

I also lost my mother, you know.

[rescuebullet]

[ Whatever she was going to say is startled out of her by that admission. ]

I'm sorry you lost her. What happened?
