W0 - MONDAY

[headmt]

[Waving at him when he sees him across campus at some point. 'Sup.]

I see you've recovered. Back to your normal color.

alli i'm crying at this shitpost it really is mandy

[duranduel]

...O-Of course I'd be my regular color.

[He huffs, though he waves back, albeit a little half-heartedly.]

It looks like...you're still the same color as ever.

[headmt]

I hadn't planned on changing any time soon.

[Ugh, extroverts.]

Enjoying ... [Waves hand.] School?

[duranduel]

I still have a headache from theoretical physics, so. Uh, no?

[A shrug.]

How are you, uh doing with school? I'm new to all of this school stuff, but I bet you've got a handle on it...

[duranduel]

[He doesn't know what to think. Nothing makes sense. Kidnapping, then classes, then being locked in, and then...]

[Death?]

[He's wandering back to the dorms when he catches the obviously visible purple sight of Molly near the dorms because I have no brain cells.]

...Hey. You got that message too, right?

[headmt]

[Just picking goose feathers out of his fancy coat, looking up when Mandricardo walks by, scrubbing at his face for a second.]

That I did.

[duranduel]

...He was part of our dorm. We were all locked in.

[And yet...he got out.]

[He glances at the feathers, frowning with some concern.]

D-Did the geese attack you?

[headmt]

Oh-- really? What dorm are you again?

[Looking down and just. Shaking it out again.]

Yup. Right bastards. I mean. One of them had something in its mouth - [Holding out the slightly soggy bear slipper.] So, we figured we'd try and get it. For some reason. Irrepressible curiosity I suppose. Then Sieghart sat up out of the moat.

W0 - SUNDAY

[headmt]

[Molly is mostly just pacing the campus on Sunday after the execution, all nervous energy himself for once. So, at least he feels you there, bud.]

Don't really know what I expected, but I don't think it was that.

[duranduel]

[And for once, Mandricardo isn't nervous as much he is moody - he's definitely looking gloomy as he walks past, turning to Molly with a sigh.]

It still feels like some kind of big joke. I-It's like someone is going to jump out from behind a corner and say it was all just a ruse or something.

[headmt]

[Aw. Well, that gloomy look at least makes Molly reach over to pat him on the back.]

You know, funnily enough, I think you might have gotten the mood exactly correct with that. Surprise. It's all just a shit show!

[duranduel]

It is such a shit show.

[He just repeats, because yeah! Yeah. Yeah...]

And it's just going to get more shit from here on out. I just wanna scream at somethin'...

w1 tuesday

[duranduel]

[Ah, the second floor of the Student Union. A lively place, with its arcade machines, pool table, and this random introvert who comes in and just. Freezes when he sees Molly.]

Hey, there.

[He steps closer, eyes fixed on the other's face, and there's something deeply concentrated in his own. Honestly, he's trying his best to resist, but...]

[Sorry - as soon as he gets close, his hand moves to grab the other by the shirt to yank him in, turning his head to give a good, solid rough bite over the front of his lower neck, near the clavicle.]

[headmt]

[This is such a romance novel scene hello????? Molly is pretty unperturbed by this, a little shocked and then once he realizes exactly what is happening just seems to accept his fate for what it is.]

Oh, well, here we go again. Alright. Ho boy. That's a deep one.

[duranduel]

...

[And as he steps back, it's like the cool confidence just drains out of his face in a moment, only to be replaced by the fiery burning of an embarrassed blush.]

A-Ah...that was...a lot..............I-I-I'm sorry...

[headmt]

[Bro it was pretty cool-sexy of you which is probably why Molly just waves a hand at first to try and be like no problem, but he has a bit of an odd look on his face, biting his own lip



And then he just darts in, grabs him by the front of the shirt and nips him on the neck.]

w3 monday or tuesday

[duranduel]

[Here's a boy! Mandricardo is standing, armored and dunce-hatted, near the stables. He looks...wistful?]

I wish my horse was here...

[headmt]

[Hornse.........]

Your ... horse? Is it normally with you all the time?

[duranduel]

[A helpless sort of shrug.]

Well...sort of? I mean...I can summon him. Sometimes. He doesn't always listen to me.

w5 monday

[duranduel]

[Hey! Here's a text.]

welcome back to the land of the living???

though i did NOT want to learn you were alive the way i did with maya what the hell, man, what are you DOING

[headmt]

[THIS IS THE FUNNIEST TEXT IN THE WORLD]

I appreciate it.
However from what I understand about the Maya text is there were rather a lot of assumptions going around?

[duranduel]

yeah i

definitely saw that. i mean she gave no details but it looks like a lot of people think you just woke up and decided to go and have sex, alright

not that i know if that's what happened but i will give the benefit of the doubt?

[duranduel]

[Here's a boy! He's sitting against an apple tree in the orchard rather...calmly? Or rather impassively, since his face is almost expressionless. He's sipping at a hot chocolate, staring out into nothing...and then blinks when he sees Molly.]

[He seems to squint at his face for a moment, before giving a wave.]

...Hey.

[headmt]

[If he's squinting then Molly looks ... a little out of it. Possibly like he's drunk. Wouldn't worry about it.]

... Suppose 'doing alright' is a relative question, but I'll ask it anyway. Doing alright?

[duranduel]

...

[There's a long pause here, but after a moment...his eyebrows furrow.]

I don't know.
