[OPEN] clever titles are for squares
ɪ. ʟᴀᴛᴇ ᴀᴛ ɴɪɢʜᴛ
[ it's a little after one in the morning when rei is back on the streets. coming from the direction of the hospital, her shoulders are hung low, her head is cast downwards, and her steps are slow. it's as if she's just simply dragging herself along. perhaps it wouldn't be anything to be concerned about. after all, maybe it was just a long night in the dungeon. ]
[ ... maybe that would have been the case if she wasn't covered in dried blood. ]
[ her shirt and skirt are ruined with a dark crimson colour and there's a very unfortunate small blood splatter across her face (cover your mouth when you cough, terry...). whether or not the blood bothers her, it's not like she can do much about it right now. she just continues to walk down the street, almost as if in some sort of trance. she doesn't pay attention to where she's heading and it's honestly more than likely that any of the following would happen: ]
[ a: she walks straight into a pole. ]
[ b: she walks straight into a person (you). ]
[ c: she walks right into the forest because she's not paying attention and i guess i'll have a bear eat her or something. ]
ɪɪ. ᴇᴀʀʟʏ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏʀɴɪɴɢ
[ the next morning, rei isn't doing much better. she has thrown out her clothes so she's back to wearing her original school uniform, but she has thrown on a black and tattered cape over herself, though. hm. well, whatever she's happy with. ]
[ she's still in a trance, though, so the following will happen again: ]
[ a: she walks into a person (you) (again).
[ b: she walks right into a food stand and well, i guess there goes 'em apples and oranges all over the floor. she's already getting yelled at so help. ]
[ c: courtesy of card, all 'em apples and oranges actually go into rei's face later on in the day. a kind npc has given her an orange but she's so tired and not really paying attention that she just bites down onto it like an apple and i guess she's eating the skin of the orange and getting orange juice everywhere. thanks, card. ]
[ d: she actually trips and falls flat on her face because the owner of the cape was actually 30cm taller than her so, of course, it's much longer on her. she falls quite heavily onto the floor and well, everything sucks. this sucks. life sucks!! ]
ɪɪɪ. ᴛɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴊᴜʟʏ
[ over the course of the next week or so, rei hovers near the entrance of the dungeon but she doesn't actually go in. she looks extremely uneasy and just hovers around. when she spots someone trying to go through the front entrance, she walks on over and grabs them by their sleeve or end of their shirt. ]
... please don't go in.
[ it's a small and sad plead. ]

[ if you want to thread anything else with rei (backdated or slightly forwarddated) or with kokichi, just lmk and i will be there. this is literally just a post for me to throw threads into because it'd be so much easier for me to track, laughs. ]

[ she doesn't like the idea of having zen's cape modified. she'd like it to be as close as possible to the time that zen wore it around. plus, if he ever arrives, she can give it back to him and he wouldn't be angry that she ruined it in any way (this is the same guy who also kept ripping off pieces of his cape to use for fires so... he probably doesn't actually care). ]
I don't want to change it or anything...
no subject
[ RO gets out a small owl-design clothespin and holds it out to Rei. ]
I could raise the hem and you're free to take it off whenever you want. The cape would not get dirty and it wouldn't be permanently altered. Surely, this could be a compromise that both of us can reach.
no subject
Oh, I see...
[ she doesn't want to take it and just run off with it, though... she should give something in return, right? something like an exchange. maybe they can swap back later to ensure that they return the items back to their original owners. rei doesn't really have anything on her, so she just reaches into her hair and pulls out a pin. ]
Here. I'll give you this in exchange.
no subject
[ She looks down at the hairpin she received from Rei. She didn't expect to get anything in return. She won't argue. It looks like a cute hairpin, so she'll put it in her pocket for now. ]
Thank you. Let me help you raise the hem so that it won't get dirty anymore.
[ They'll probably have to raise a lot, but RO is sure that the clothespin will hold strong. Also, Rei has the clothespin now, so she'll need it back to put it on the cape. ]
no subject
... I'm sorry. I'm normally more energetic than this...
[ she feels bad that someone is doing a really nice thing for her but she can't even muster up the energy to really show how much she appreciates the gesture. ]
no subject
...
It's then when she realizes--from what little she had seen when the casualty had occurred, there was a smudge of yellow... Looking at Rei's hair, it isn't hard to guess that was probably her who was with the casualty as the event happened. She was unfortunately too busy to help at that moment, but... Rei had suffered a loss. In that case, she thinks it's understandable as to why Rei is in this state. She kind of expected Rei to be crying a lot more, actually. ]
It's alright. There is no need to push yourself. You should be resting somewhere instead, away from the summer heat.
no subject
Um, I can stay out of the heat if I put this over my head.
[ although the cape is a lot shorter now that it's clipped, she still holds the ends of it and holds it upwards to demonstrate what she's talking about. someone teach this poor girl that putting a black cape over your head does not keep you away from the heat and that it only draws heat towards you... ]
no subject
But... RO looks at Rei as she puts the cape over her head. That seems to contradict with what she's saying. Hm. This is concerning. ]
... But black objects absorb heat more. If you're going to shield yourself from the sun, you should need sunscreen or a white object instead.
no subject
Really? But I was always safe when I was hiding under Zen's cape...
[ are you saying that zen lied to her about being safe underneath it :( ]
no subject
[ She doesn't know, but it might as well be true if Zen's not the liar here >:( ]
Would you like a parasol? I can buy you one.
no subject
A parasol...? Is that a type of cheese?
[ parasol... parmesan... they aren't the same at all and their pronunciations are off but that's where her mind goes... ]
no subject
[ She had to go through her internal dictionary for that. omg. ]
no subject
[ though she's not super hungry since she's still sad, food sounds better than an umbrella ]
no subject
Just eat it whole as the block???? ]
We could go for both--a parasol to block out the sun and parmesan for your ration needs.
no subject
Really...? But you don't know me...
no subject
[ Rei is the human here, so she should know, right??? ]
no subject
[ that's true... the p3/4 kids didn't know her or zen, but they still risked their lives to help them. they could have gone home after all the locks came off their doors but they decided to stay and help. ]
You're really nice. Thank you. [ finally, there's a small smile. ] What's your name?
no subject
[ ... Maybe she should stop introducing her as that, but it's her identification. Anyway. ]
RO is fine.
[ As in are-oh. ]
Should we get going? It would be nice to get out of the sunshine as well.
no subject
I didn't know you could have numbers in your name.
no subject
[ Not that... she has her gun with her now. She opens the door to a general store for Rei. ]
After you.
no subject
You're named after a gun?!
[ lmfao maybe not a great thing to yell while entering a store. a few npcs turn their heads to look because ??????? ]
no subject
[ RO doesn't see anything wrong with that so lmao she ignores the civilians quite easily. ]
RO635 is a simplified name for a Colt 9mm SMG model 635.
no subject
[ one of rei's canon personality quirks is that she sometimes mishears really long and complicated sentences as food so... here we are lmfao ]
no subject
... That sounds like overkill if you're cooking a 9mm cod, don't you think?
no subject
[ because when you sizzle food, it tastes good, right? if you sizzle it multiple times, it's gotta taste even better!! ]
