week 0, tuesday

[florescences]

[ what are you so tall for, marcoh?

it doesn't deter elysia because she raises her hand whenever she sees him. ]

Hiiii. How are you feeling today?

[boxcar]

Hello.

[ He's just constantly going on half-jog runs to keep busy so he's probably in the midst of that. ]

I'm alright. It has been... mostly uneventful.

Are you alright?

[florescences]

[ a jock....

well, if he is half-jogging, elysia will join him. she should be able to keep pace. ]

Uneventful isn't so bad when people are still adjusting. I think the new beach area is fun.

[boxcar]

[ Oh... welcome. He will match her pace without issue. ]

Do you have beaches like that where you're from?

week 1, friday

[florescences]

[ marcoh, your four guys.... it's now down to three.... your little group

elysia is looking for him. ]

Hi, Marcoh. What are you thinking?

[boxcar]

[ He's not desperately combing the beach today but he's probably leaned up against a wall somewhere, looking awfully grim. ]

Not good.

[florescences]

[ she will come over to lean against a wall next to him. camaraderie. ]

Yeah, it's really not good. For it to happen again... and for the people who won't get a second chance... and for the people whose hearts this tears at...

[boxcar]

Ay. All of those things.

[ It's less personal this time for him, but... it doesn't change that it fucking sucks. He glances over to her. ]

How are you doing?

w2 monday

[boxcar]

[ Would Elysia love tea parties, I feel like she would. We're at the Oz tea party, where Marcoh is just blinking a little confusedly at the whole display. What is going ON here? ]

Everywhere I go in this new place, it just gets weirder and weirder...

[florescences]

[ elysia has a friend who likes tea parties more. ]

It kind of looks like it'd be out of storybook.

[ she can't help but stare at marcoh for a little bit longer than usual.... she's not unused to seeing changes in people like this, but for marcoh, it hits more. ]

Not quite the kind of atmosphere I was hoping for you, but do you want to see if the tea or cake do anything funny?

[boxcar]

[ It's so weird being 5 feet tall... ]

...It's weird.

[ Honestly. ]

But sure. It can't get weirder than this.

[florescences]

[ not weird but maybe weird is elysia opening her arms to him

Well, it's not weird for her. ]

w2 saturday

[boxcar]

[ Just another day of stupid-ass trial!!! Marcoh does this every week but once again even as trialgoers filter out, he remains behind in the church. He's just sat on a pew with his head lowered, he needs to just sit and have a break before he tries to go back to whatever. ]

[florescences]

[ that's fine. elysia will sit next to him for a while and wait for him to lift his head.

she may be chatty, but she's been around long enough to know how to wait patiently. ]

[boxcar]

[ Well, he definitely ain't chatty but he doesn't dislike Elysia remotely enough to just keep ignoring her. He generally doesn't ignore anyone, actually. He raises his head eventually and looks at her.

How is she doing, still (comparatively?) well? ]

[florescences]

[ she figured he'd acknowledge her eventually because she thinks he's kind even if he's reticent.

she smiles at him in greeting. she's fine, as usual. there may be a sad tinge to her smile, but that's not that surprising, considering how this trial ended. ]

Doing okay, Marcoh?

w3 monday

[boxcar]

[ Yatta!!! Gives in to the inexorable urge to avoid writing starters that I'll end up tagging for 15 tags without dropping a mem anyway so just forces us to walk into the funhouse mirrors through some door so Elysia can have this memory. ]

[florescences]

[ elysia watches the scene, and sadness creeps into her as the end unfolds. she understands from both points of view, but she thinks it's much to harsh to treat marcoh like that when marcoh makes it clear what he's like.

at least, it's clear to elysia. ]

Oh, Marcoh. He should have tried to understand you more.

[boxcar]

[ He's... a little awkward having this be played out. It's not so overly personal that he super minds, but it's as awkward as any kind of involuntary memory-share can get. ]

...It is fine. I understand.

week 3, thursday

[florescences]

[ this really is such a hateful group to be on cyoa together for elysia.

it's so good that she has such emotional tenacity. she is coming to check up on marcoh!! how is he doing!!! ]

Hi, Marcoh.

[boxcar]

[ Help Elysia!!! Sowwy... ]

...

[ He's sat in the hospital bed looking borderline delirious because he really should not be awake but looks slowly over to Elysia from where he's just watching the other three get treated like hawks. He's not ignoring her or anything but he visibly has heavy bandaging around his neck, so. ]

[florescences]

[ at least he's been bandaged. that's a good sign.

she watches him for a moment before she sets a chair at the end of bed in the angle of wherever the other three are. ]

Hmm.... maybe it's a good thing you're not super chatty. Did they give you painkillers yet?

w7 monday

[boxcar]

[ Elysia your princess return.

Marcoh's around... ish. He's remaining in the Neighbourhood predominantly bc he doesn't feel like going out there but also everything sucks out there now??? Wtf? Anyway letting her get her more emotional and beautiful reunions out first. ]

[florescences]

[ sometimes.... you die and return enough you get your own animated cg scene

she will float his way sooner rather than later since he is tall and she can fly. ]

Hi, Marcoh. I missed you.

[boxcar]

[ Looks at her floating. Despite everything there is definitely a '?' because obviously people don't usually just float unless they ate some boardwalk food. ]

...Hello, Elysia.

[ This is how she can be eye-level... ]

It's been a while.
