FOUNTAIN

[beathollow]

( all of clover should have three coins. )

[beathollow]

( immediately after the game, sonata can be found... not quite in the bath yet, but wrapped in a towel as she tries to brush glitter out of her hair and fur. she'll sweep everything out later she promises. but... )

... I'm never going to be free of this-

[eonsadrift]

[ He won't be found until some time after the game and after Bluebell blows themselves up, and as soon as he gets home he'll immediately make for his room without looking at any of them.

He can probably be stopped, if you really wanted to. Otherwise, he'll probably spend the night in his room for once instead of on the roof. ]

[aididitmyway]

[if this is during the waiting periods for bluebell and lily she can be found laying around uselessly on a beanbag staring at the ceiling

if this is any other time she's going to be in her room BLASTING MUSIC at an obscene volume. she's crying and she doesn't want anyone to know okay.]

[beathollow]

( the scent of chamomile tea may be wafting by his door. there's a knock, but if he does open it, no one is there. just the tray with a tea pot, and a single cup. )

[eonsadrift]

[ He opens the door and pulls it into the room like a cat trying to sneak food and not be noticed. The door shuts right afterwards.

...he appreciates this more than she'll know. ]

[beathollow]

( sonata will give lyra time, time to cry and deflate and be alone. she needs to bathe and bring her things to the laundry mat anyways, with how many people covered in their own blood that she hugged and held today-


but eventually. eventually sonata slinks in, curling up around lyra gently and pulling her close, petting her hair. )

[aididitmyway]

[Much like Sonata, Lyra's going to be leaving a small pile of library books outside of his door and knocking. They look like they're history books? From a few different worlds. Not quite Teyvat.

The Lyra and Zenith poppets are sitting on the pile.

There's a knock, but when opened, no one is going to be there.]

[aididitmyway]

[She's going to hug her, tightly, when she comes in. She's not crying anymore, but she's still a total mess. And, also, she still has her cat ears and tail for the moment.

Lyra's tail is going to wrap protectively around Sonata.]

[eonsadrift]

[ The books are collected in exactly the same way, and so are the poppets. They go on his desk for now, but he'll put them back in the kitchen in the morning.

Thanks Lyra he's about to learn the importance of distracting yourself from grief ]

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[Cacophonie isn't going to walk in on the baths when Sonata is in there, but he will be sweeping up the Mysterious Trail of Glitter she prolly made coming in and prolly still working on it by the time she's out given how horrid it is to get this stuff out of any given home once it's inside.]

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[Well, now Cacophonie is quite sure he doesn't even want to know what happened out there today.
An extra blanket, folded up all neatly, will be added to the ongoing offerings outside Zenith's door.]

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[... ... ...leaving some snacks outside THIS door. It's just standard salad and foraged this & that, but calories are calories and Lyra won't have to go anywhere for them.]

[beathollow]

( thankfully, by the time he's working on that she's probably entered the bath itself and has cleaned up properly. so when she steps out in her jammies, freshly un-glittered (... mostly. she won't be surprised if she finds more still the next time she bathes.) and ready to clean up her mess, she's pleasantly surprised. )

Thank you. I can take over from that if you wish, since it's my mess to begin with.

[beathollow]

( cute. they're just bundles of fluff, aren't they? )

... We'll be alright. And so will they. As harsh as it is, they're going to take care of it just fine.

[aididitmyway]

[It disappears. A couple of hours later, she can be found washing the dishes Cacophonie put by her door.

If he's still awake.

She still has her cat ears and tail for the moment.]

[aididitmyway]

I'm glad it wasn't us, but it's not like I want it to happen to them...

[she sighs, ears pressed flat against her head]

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[He's probably still awake but not going to be after he sees from a distance that she has cat ears, because clearly he's hallucinating or something and should just go back to bed.
The catness has spread. More cat. Is he going to become a cat next? Is this the fate awaiting him? ...Actually that's not so bad, at least he could have an excuse to curl up on an older person's lap and be petted to sleep for naps every da(etc etc)]

[lullabyonacloudynight]

I'm already getting it.

[And everything else people have been tracking into the barn over the last day or two as well. May as well. Maybe he's getting into cleaning since coming here...]

[beathollow]

... Thank you, then. Again. We have a rack of lamb in the kitchen, though- I'm not sure how to best cook it. I might go get more recipes from the library. Later, though. Today has been... a Thing.

( thing (derogatory) )

day 24, noon

[debug_mode]

[Your Name got invited over to Clover's barn, and there she is.]

Hello?

Re: day 24, noon

[eonsadrift]

[ He agreed to this, so he'll get the door and gesture for her to enter. ]

...I don't like to waste time. What do you specifically want to talk about?

[eonsadrift]

[ No, you really don't want to know.

He swipes the blanket inside and is going to add it to the apparent nest he's building. It's fine. He's probably fine. ]

Re: day 24, noon

[aididitmyway]

[she's hanging out in clover's kitchen just, watching for the moment]

[debug_mode]

[She enters.]

Specifically? Nothing that could be summed up in one or two questions...

More of a general topic, I guess? --How are we? You know. Me, and Clover now.

A lot of very strange things got said that I didn't understand. Something about wanting to kill me?
