week 0, friday

[vigilantics]

[ he's not really someone she spoke to at the castle, and she hasn't gotten around to seeking him out while here. but since someone actually went and died, steph figures she should finally approach him.

so, wherever yams is, there is a steph waving. ]

... hey.

[okitactless]

[It's harder than he anticipated, reconciling these emotions without Okita to guide him. He's not one to hide his emotions--the turmoil is clear on his face, though he snaps out of his thoughts when he sees her, and nods in greeting.]

Ah... Stephanie-kun. [Right, with the leg. Even if Yasusada died in the castle before they really got a chance to talk, Sanji likes her, and Yasusada mostly trusts Sanji's judgment.] Are you alright?

[vigilantics]

I want to say yeah, but... not really, no.

[ she didn't know tsurumaru (because that would be playercest), but steph had been really hoping that the hosts were telling the truth.

... although it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand yasusada's expression. ]

What about you?

[okitactless]

...It's hard to understand. [There's no real reason not to admit it. He lifts a hand, rubbing at his chest.] I wanted to trust them, but... it wasn't unexpected, either.

[It's difficult, reconciling those things.

More quietly--]

Tsurumaru-san is from my home.

[Except not because he's from a different citadel BUT THE POINT STILL STANDS.]

week 1, sunday

[vigilantics]

[ wherever yams is, stephanie is waving him over. ]

Hey! Come here.

[okitactless]

[LET'S SAY he was probably going to head to the gardens? Sure why not. But he'll go over to her when she calls him over, looking curious.]

What is it?

[don't hit him]

[vigilantics]

Come get ice cream with me.

[ see? no punches. ]

week 2, sunday

[vigilantics]

[ well.

this weekend has been... she really doesn't have a word for it, but watching what happened to giyuu truly described how shitty it has been.

stephanie is wandering through the camp, not entirely sure of what to do. but when she sees yasusada, she does change her direction towards him. hello. ]

[okitactless]

[It has been... yeah. They're not doing so hot, are they? Is it something about the castle, in particular? Or has misfortune just clung to them especially hard, intent on eradicating their hope and determination?

When she approaches, he stops, turning to face her.]

Stephanie-kun.

[vigilantics]

How are you doing?

[ she knows that he's tougher than most, and that seeing that kind of violence might not affect him as much, but... she still has to ask. ]

w3 Monday?? or whenever idk

[okitactless]

[HELLO STEPHANIE. Do you want a memory. YOU'RE GETTING ONE ANYWAY.

Yasusada isn't the type to hide when he realizes what's going on, so he's determined to seek her out anyway, whether it's for a task or just to check in. So wherever she is, he'll approach her--

--Ah. Awkward.]

[vigilantics]

[ PIXI WHY I'M HURT

but stephanie isn't sure how to react at first, other than be... sad. there was such a deep loneliness in that memory that it takes her a moment to think of anything to say. ]

Souji...

[okitactless]

[YOU ASKED FOR THIS!!!

But Yasusada absolutely did not. Apparently only the Grimms get his tragic backstory?? Wow. He blinks as the memory fades, a resigned sort of sadness on his face.]

I'm sorry. That was... [Well. What can he say about it? It's in his memories, after all.] That was after Ikedaya.

w3 thursday

[okitactless]

[WHEREVER SHE IS HE'S COMING TO FIND HER!!! Poor Belph.]

Stephanie-kun? Stephanie-kun--

[vigilantics]

[ he can find her hiding in the storage room. it's fine. the only reason she is not hiding in the trees is because of all the snow. ]

... hi.

[okitactless]

[STEPH PLEASE DON'T BECOME BIGFOOT.]

Are you injured? What happened?

w3 friday

[okitactless]

[I'm tired

ANYWAY HERE IS YAMS WITH HIS APPLE JUICE after his trip to the bathroom]

Stephanie-kun? How are you doing?

[vigilantics]

[ hi yasusada.

she has moved on from slushies and has hot cocoa. ]

Alright. [ ... ] I know Jason from home.

[okitactless]

[Oh. That explains a lot.

Wherever they are, he'll come sit beside her.]

I'm sorry.

w4 thursday

[okitactless]

[YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER STEPHANIE

That is, whenever she's cleaned up, he's coming over to find her!!]

Stephanie-kun?

[vigilantics]

[ at least she doesn't make more faces at him this time

but steph is nice and clean now. she probably smells so goddamn strongly of soap now but it's fine. ]

Hey.

[okitactless]

[It's too late, he saw the first one!!]

Are you really alright? Did Dick-san take a look at you?

week 4, saturday

[vigilantics]

[ it's later at night, and stephanie will go and visit him.

she walks over to the cell and places her hand on a bar. ]

Hi.

[okitactless]

[It's better than the dungeon, at any rate. He's holding his Okita doll with his good arm, sitting--probably on the floor? Don't make me look at the locations page I'm tired. Anyway, hi Steph.

She's most likely to get every answer she could want out of him; he doesn't have a smile for her, but he does nod.]

Stephanie-kun.

[vigilantics]

[ that's fine. she will settle down on the floor as well. ]

Can you tell me what happened?
