W0 - SUNDAY

[headmt]

[Hi Rita. Are you just vibing in the Dorm at some point. Molly will wave over to her if she's just chilling out, indicating his face - which is uh. Still kind of bruised.]

You really do pack a swing, you know.

[overlimit]

[yeah, she’s just curled up on a chair in the common room, jotting stuff into her notebook.]

Still feeling it? Guess I’ll take that as a compliment.

[if rita were less of a jerk, she’d probably apologize or something. oh well. instead, she considers something, and then...]

How’s that other wound doing? You’re not about to keel over without warning, are you?

[headmt]

Maybe not entirely. You were followed up, by a Monk. She hits pretty hard too. Might want to connect on that, actually, think you'd get along.

[That's fine, he's used to This Personality. No apologies necessary. He pauses and looks down at his chest, pulling his shirt aside to look at it. It seems like it's scabbed over at least.]

Ah, this? It's nothing. Get worse all the time. Part of the job. 'Course, the magical healing usually helps afterwards.

W0 - SUNDAY, POST-EXECUTION

[overlimit]

[After the execution, Rita finds Mollymauk out on the campus grounds. She wanders over to his general vicinity and stops, crossing her arms.]

... Right, well, that ended exactly how it looked like it was going to.

[headmt]

[He makes a bit of a grimace and clicks his tongue.

Thought about as much.

[overlimit]

I still don't get how she could -- why any of that crap happened.

W1 - FRIDAY

[overlimit]

[After heading out early in the morning, Rita's already back in the dorm, sitting on a chair in the Common Room with some sugary coffee-like concoction at her side, typing on her phone. She looks up when she sees Mollymauk nearby.]

Don't suppose you've seen anything of note?

[headmt]

[Also drinking from a coffee cup! Hopefully it's coffee because it's like 8am.]

Not this time, no. Well-- Apart from the people wandering around with a goose hostage? That's something.

[overlimit]

A goose...?

Are people still harassing the wildlife?

W2 - MONDAY

[overlimit]

[somewhere around campus, rita spots molly and wanders over!]

Hey, Mollymauk. Seen the task board yet?

[headmt]

[Oh! Hey. Giving her a raised hand as a greeting, and then. Putting it right on top of her head. Touchy-feely week, man.]

I have, I have. So? What would your answer be?

[overlimit]

Personally, I'd--

[frowns, waves a hand to try to shoo his away]

If it were a serious question, I'd choose none of them, of course.

W2 - FRIDAY

[headmt]

[Heyo Rita. Hopefully just trying to catch her when she heads back to the dorm at some point. Putting a hand on her head. (touchy-feely week, man.)]

You alright?

[overlimit]

[she doesn't swat him away this time, just lowers her head so she doesn't have to look at him.]

I'm fine! Just...

...can't believe that idiot's actually gone.

[headmt]

[Yeah that's fair.]

Bit of an asshole move on his part, after you warned him and everything.

[He'll ruffle her hair and then pull his hand away, shoving them in his pockets instead.]

Where do you think they go?

Week 2, Saturday

[overlimit]

[Sometime in the evening, Rita's just out on the campus, sitting on the grass at the edge of the moat. She's got her knees pulled up to her chest and she's just staring out at the water.]

[headmt]

[Eventually just coming over and sitting down heavily next to her in the grass, feet kicked out in front of himself and leaning back on his hands.]

... Doing alright?

W3 - TUESDAY

[overlimit]

[sup molly, rita's approaching you today.]

Hey Mollymauk, have you noticed something weird--

[never mind, she doesn't get to finish, because they get to view a memory!

...

You awaken on the floor, amidst a pile of books. There's nothing unusual about it -- it's a fine place to nap, and there's something comforting about the smell of old paper. But something's wrong. Someone's in your house. You rise to your feet and face them.

"Thieves..." You begin casting a spell, the air around you glowing as red particles gather, then take form as a magic circle. "...Begone!"

You throw a fireball at one of the offenders, a young boy no older than Mabel. He screams and crumples as he's hit by the spell, alive, but burnt.

A man steps forward, sword drawn, blocking your way with the blade as if anticipating an escape. "If you can pull tricks like that, why'd you bother skipping town back in Zaphias?"

"Huh? Skipping town? Why would I need to do that?"

"For stealing the core of a blastia from the lower quarter of the capital. What else?"

"What? You're calling me a thief. Have you ever heard of common sense?"

"Sure."

"So you break into a home, call the owner a thief, and wave a sword in their face. What the hell kind of sense is that!?"

...

and they're back!]

[headmt]

[He blinks, a bit confused, but then--]

Yeah I've noticed something a little odd.

W5 - MONDAY

[headmt]

[Hallo, Rita. Molly is on campus just wandering about, enjoying! Open! Spaces! And eating things. Just stopping at every food stand and trying to eat everything at every one of them. This seems like an uphill battle.]

Boo. Again. Is it funnier this time?

[overlimit]

[she just smacks him. at least it's not hard enough to leave a mark.]

Not even a little.

[scoffs.] Guess you really do have a knack for coming back from the dead.

W5 - FRIDAY

[overlimit]

[rita's at the dorm, checking the announcement on her phone... and she looks up at the ceiling and heaves a sigh.]

Damn it.

[headmt]

[Oh.


Fuck.]

... Ah. Beau.

W6 - THURSDAY

[overlimit]

[in the spring dorm, rita can be found resting on one of the couches (not the one they stole from fall!) with one leg propped up beside her and held straight.

she's changed her clothes, which makes it hard to tell where her injuries are. she's rolled up one sleeve to examine her arm... and rolls it back up when she sees someone near by.]

Oh. Hey.

[headmt]

[He seems a little ... unsure, actually. Like he’s a little wary of her. It’s probably fine. His thoughts are vague right now, sort of difficult to read.]

Doing alright? Saw you come out of there looking roughed up.
