[ hello date

we're here, looking at the less than wonderful cafeteria pizza. lu bixing, having since taken popcorn back upstairs, is just frowning at it, though when he spots date, he gives him a little bit of a smile and a short wave. ]

Well, it's better than the cell's, right?

[ a little later in the evening on friday, lu bixing is in the library, rubbing a hand over his face and leaning back in his chair. when he spots date, though, he smiles, warm even if it is clearly tired and a little stressed. considering. ]

Hi, Date. Are you holding up alright...?

[ i missed becks too much last week tch

hello clown town! here's lu bixing!! he's sort of eyeing one of the games in the midway, hand on his chin, thoughtful. he is also just avoiding the absolute hell out of the bar area... his terrible anti christian cake may have worn off

or maybe not? who's to say ]

[ i voided, we can decide later. after enough time for the returnees to... settle back in, maybe? get themselves seen to? all of that jazz.

after all that is done, date is seeking out the cyoa-ers. to check in, find out more and see how they're doing after days of trauma. ]

So, did you stop being on fire?

[ man this week has sucked. lu bixing is in the planetarium, at the moment - just sitting, legs folded, staring up at the projected sky and sort of drifting. :(

important to mention that he still has eto's book, and is thumbing the cover of it, occasionally. sad... ]

[ i'm using this icon to start every pc because it only has one eye and i think its funny

anyway at some nebulous point after he's been fussed over to all hell lu bixing is laying down in the common room on the couch. maybe ljh stepped out for a bit?? who knows. anyway. he's got a bandage over his eye and one wrapped around his shoulder, now that he's changed into not bloody clothes.

he's just got his arm over his eye (singular), a book on his chest, and quiet, but he's here. ]

[ happy tuesday! today on the music store, date might hear the sound of

whatever this is and more specifically, this exact thing happening. that is to say, a grown ass man sliding across the floor in his socks.

ba-nananananana.....

he's dressed, at least? and when he turns around and spots date, he jumps like half a foot and drops whatever he was using to be a microphone, then squeaks - ] Date! [ and then clears his throat. ] Um, hi.

[ what an unhappy friday. lu bixing's... outside of the aquarium, looking at it like it might spit out a single answer, his hands laced behind his back, holding still and silent.

though... when he hears date coming, he looks over his shoulder, and gives him a soft, not quite there smile. ]

...Hey, Date. Where'd you stay last night?

[ puts them on the beach where date is just STARING out into nothing. like his gaze isn't even focused. wow. ]

[ don't you love just falling into a hole with a friend? isn't this a fun and funky fresh time!

who knows what lbx and date were doing but now, they're in a hole, and a screen projects up in front of them, and before lu bixing even gets to really react, it turns out that it's a moment from his life on display. ]

[ a void. date is here. he looks uh.

he looks great. ]

[ happy saturday! haha! not.

lu bixing's in the planetarium, today, after that. thankfully, it's empty besides him? which is good, because there's a very faintly smoky smell coming from near one of the star displays, and the faint light of a burning cigarette in the dark, mixed in with the pinpricks of stars.

well, maybe not a cigarette? that's definitely a weed smell. it's fine. god. what a day. ]

[ happy monday! lu bixing is set up as usual in the new bar today. he's got a total of... five drinks this time set out in front of him! one, a garish green. one, blue and a little yellow. one, brown and sizzling a little, one a red solo cup, and... the last a drink with a cherry in it! this one's just set slightly to the side.

by now this is probably routine, right? he's here working, his personal device pulled up, typing into the keyboard. he's also got something that looks like a sticker sheet.

when he glances over and spots date, he offers him a smile and a wave, friendly and warm as ever. ]

Hi, Date. Want to take me up on that drink?

[ at some point on tuesday

date's phone goes off ]

HONK AAAA

[ and that's it ]

[ yo.

what the fuck? ]

[ well, when date goes to find food, he might hear the sound of a knife on a cutting board from the bapplebees kitchen.

care to investigate...? it smells pretty good. ]

[ not me writing that tag then coming in here to be like GIFT SHOP WHEEEE. ]

Hey.

[ he's holding up a t-shirt to his chest as he says this. ]

Whaddya think?

[ fuck yeah!!!! depression!!!

well. date is coping with depression by draping himself over a chair with a book over his face and pretending the world around him doesn't exist. how's lbx doing? ]

[ hey! this void has alcohol, and date is well on his way to drinking a bunch of it. ]

Should you be anywhere other than in bed, resting?

[ sweet, very broken lbx. date is chilling in the resort sitting room. HOPEFULLY BIXING IS ALSO CHILLING AND NOT MOVING AROUND. ]

We had such a good track record with two bodies last time.

[ sarcasm. ]

[ runs at you before you can tell me it's a preorder. ]

Well.

That was terrible.

[ happy monday!!! date! and aiba!! maybe aiba is more exciting? who knows. date is very exciting.

bixing seems to be in a really good mood - he's moving around a lot more easily than he was the day before, and not only that, but he seems to take to this city like a fish to water. so! he's joked about going to let aiba pick his brain and vice versa but he doesn't want to leave date out, so he's inviting him to come meet him at a little place selling tasty looking street food that's like less questionable.

he grins across the table where they get settled, holding a cup of coffee between his hands. ] This is so exciting! I wish I could have had more time to work with any of the AI we've had here all along...

[ isn't it so nice to be out and about on this fine friday without worrying about a corpse

bixing is walking through the shops when he spots date!! and he gives him a bright smile and a wave, trotting over to see what he's up to. ]
