VIETNAM

[assent]

[ After what had happened last month with Noir in Merilorn Forest it felt necessary to have a spot of "down town" to unwind. She's still dealing with what happened there, and even if she's had the chance to take out some of her frustration on any remaining Jaggers, it isn't the same as having a girls day out. Vietnam has been nice to her so far, so she appreciates it when she finds out that she's willing to go shopping with her today. She has a bit of colle from doing odd work in the Hotel in Capablanca, along with the Shots job (meaning she also has a gun now... s.o.s. tbh) so it's a nice idea.

She finds herself at their meeting point 13 minutes early, unable to break habits of past customs. At least here she knows better than to expect it from other people too. When Vietnam arrives she'll find Sonia out of uniform in pretty much the only other outfit she has. Ah. ]

Howdy howdy ho! [ Why is this a greeting... ] I hope your day has been well thus far?

[hoasen]

[IT'S A CUTE OUTFIT THOUGH?? Vietnam really needs to learn to dress herself in something that's not just "practical". As such, she's in a pants and a button up shirt today, with a coat as the weather is beginning to get a little chilly.

Besides, Sonia still needs a few things to properly settle down with, like clothes, more necessities, a shoe collection...

And goodness! Vietnam is often early, but she's not that early when it comes to casual gatherings. So she was there ten minutes early. Three minutes after Sonia, it seems.]

Goodness, you came early! [Wait, is she meant to do this greeting too? SHE DOESN'T KNOW.] M-my day has been very good, thank you! What of yours? I hope you did not have to wait long for me!

[assent]

[ It is a cute outfit. Sonia just rarely ever wears trousers so this is far more comfortable for her. Vietnam looks very lovely as well, of course. ]

It is a custom in my country to arrive 13 minutes early to any meeting. It is punishable by law. [ yeah... who knows why ] I am glad, however, my day has been quite alright, thank you very much. Nor have I been here long at all. Shall we go?

[ She's actually really happy to finally get a chance to do something like this. This is what regular girls do, isn't it? Go shopping with friends. ]

[hoasen]

[13 minutes--WHAT NOW.] W-what happens...? [UM.

Either way, she's happy that she's had a good day?!] I am glad, but y-yes, let's! Where to start first...do you have any preferences?

[assent]

You would go to jail. [ She says it with a super straight face, dead serious--then smiles brightly. ] Of course, this is not my country.

[ Sonia???????? ]

However, I am less familiar with the stores here, but I do have a request. Do you know a Setsuna F. Seiei?

VIETNAM & SETSUNA

[assent]

[ It's been a day or two since she went shopping with Vietnam, but it's given her enough time to set up this meeting and also go out to buy snacks for the afternoon. When she arrives at their room she's in her pyjamas, has a small bag of candy in one hand (along with a small box, with a gift concealed inside), and the other she is holding the deer plushie that Setsuna got for her. She's also wearing the sakura hairpin, just to ensure he truly knows she has accepted it after their small not-fight. It means that she doesn't have the braid across the top of her hair now, instead using the clip to hold it all in place.

All in all, she is well prepared for a drama marathon.

Quietly, she knocks on the door and takes half a step back to allow for space for the door to be opened carefully. Hopefully she isn't too early, she had been a little eager to watch dramas with friends, rather than by herself for once. ]

[quaria]

[ Thinking that it's Vietnam, Setsuna casually answers the door with his usual bored look. Since he's already adjusted around her presence at this point, he's very laid-back towards her. That's why he's always willing to roll with her plans without really doubting her, since she's long-proven that she's a trustworthy and reliable comrade. He knows that she wouldn't do anything strange, at least not without good reason.

Like Sonia, Setsuna's been invited to this drama marathon by Vietnam. Apart from the earlier reason, he easily accepted since he didn't have much to do today. He might as well keep her company. But she didn't tell him they'll be having a guest over today, so he didn't consider whoever is behind the door isn't actually who he thinks it is.

So after seeing Sonia standing there instead, Setsuna's expression quickly changes. His eyes widen and his cheeks redden, he takes a small step back out of surprise... Even more when he realizes what the princess is wearing on her hair and carrying in her arm. This is so unexpected that he couldn't process the situation right away. When he does, the first question in mind is to wonder why the princess is here today. He doesn't mind of course, but he could've done some preparations if she was coming over. ]

Ah...

[ He quickly shakes off the surprise, then adjusts himself appropriately. ]

Sonia Nevermind... Good day.

[assent]

[ She wasn't sure who would answer, but there's only a teeny flash of surprise from her and it isn't because she's surprised to see him, it's more that... he's surprised to see her standing there as well? Her head tilts a little, considering what that might mean. Vietnam is the one who organised this after all, maybe he just wasn't aware of the pyjama thing?




Unless she got that wrong, which would make this all the more embarrassing. ]

You... are not in your pjyamas. [ Her brow furrows a little, her hand gripping the poor deer plushie a little tighter as she considers the situation. ] Was I too early?

[ If Vietnam isn't there yet she might have been, she did arrive 13 minutes early after all. ]

[quaria]

[ "EARLY", she says. Early for what...? Setsuna stares at Sonia like a deer in headlights, trying to figure out what she might mean. The princess is here as a guest today... That must mean someone from Nir invited her over. Gilgamesh? Jae-ha? No... It's most likely Vietnam, especially as Setsuna recalls about the woman's plans today. That's it, she probably asked other people aside from him. This is most likely it.

Oh, Sonia's telling him something. Setsuna continues to adjust himself to this situation immediately, so he'd be able to properly take care of their charming guest today. That and, he doesn't want Vietnam to kill him later. ]

N-No. Sorry.

[ Come in, princess!! Setsuna moves away from the doorway, allowing Sonia access to the living room. He walks to the couch first, making sure to fluff the pillows so she'd be able to sit on it comfortably. He gestures for her to take a seat.

Why is she talking about pajamas, though? In fact, why is she in pajamas?? Crap, did he accidentally miss out on a note from Vietnam? Was he supposed to be in pajamas, too!? From the disappointed look on the princess's face though, that appears to be the case. He should quickly remedy this. ]

Excuse me for a moment.

[ So he runs off to go to his room to change!! ]

[assent]

[ Would Vietnam really kill him for this... if she never said, shouldn't it be fine? Then again, Sonia has no idea what's going through his head here. She just smiles when he says she isn't too early. It's fine if it's just a little, and maybe Vietnam got held up or something? (Hopefully not because she's having a quickie with her hubby :( ) ]

Thank you.

[ She steps inside, relaxing a little now she isn't in the hallway with her pyjamas on. She didn't really want to present herself like this to everyone. Quietly, she places the deer plush on the sofa, though she doesn't actually sit down just yet. ]

Se-- [ Only... he's gone in the blink of an eye to his room and she has no idea what just happened. Good job... ]

LEO

[assent]

[ Standing outside Thirstiel Hospital felt stranger than she'd expected when signing up for this quest. Sonia is a fan of anything to do with spooky things, be it related to strange murders or the occult. Something about this hospital has her a little nervous, however, just because experiencing it for oneself is much more different to just reading about it in a book.

Leo is by her side already when she starts stepping towards the doors, head held high. ]

Is there anyone you know who was infected?

[ It's way too early in the morning for this kind of talk, but... maybe having a distraction that will keep them focused on their task will help. They need to hunt for clues regarding the infection, after all. ]

[slotted]

[ mana exchange is definitely needed because it's hell o'clock in the morning and leo's barely gotten any sleep. by now, his charge levels are at 64%. it's good enough, and he should be able to perform properly, but it may drop quickly depending on how much effort they put into this hospital search.

it's leo who opens the doors, too. he might look rugged, but he still has manners. he'd rather go first than have sonia step first into danger. ]

Just two. Vivienne, my roommate. Jumin, too.

[ the receiving area of the hospital is reminiscent of horror video games, but leo doesn't seem all that concerned yet. ]

[assent]

[ It does depend on what they bump into as well, she knows. Her left hand is free anyway, for when the need arises. For now she waits as he opens the door and he steps inside, quickly following him just in case the building tries to separate them. ]

Jumin ended up infected as well? [ That's... a shame. She had tried pretty hard to help him before, but it is too late to look back on that now. ] That is unfortunate. Have you been taking care of him?

[ Eh just looks like home tbh. Wouldn't be the first time she's seen a creepy abandoned hospital. ]

[slotted]

He did.

[ leo doesn't say anything anymore about jumin, although he does look bothered that sonia would ask something like that. leo has only ever taken care of his family. and even then, he does a bad job of it.

the hallway is fairly silent. they don't pass by any patient's rooms yet but instead pass offices.

he pushes open a door. it creaks. ]

You're not scared, are you?

[assent]

[ To her, he and his family are still alive despite being on the run... therefore it can't have been that bad of a job. Besides, it would be difficult for Jumin to accept help to begin with.

She follows him quietly, not saying anymore when he doesn't. She does look confused when he asks her if she's scared or not though. ]

Of course not. We will not die here, after all.

KOMAEDA

[assent]

[ It might be insanity that drives her to contact Komaeda to join her this time, but that is a familiar feeling anyway. Leo had been scared very early on the night before, leading to her pulling him around while he tried to just stop them from getting killed. Komaeda... would understand to trust her more. He's also very good with searching for clues in tough situations.



They both are now.

Given how they're told to enter around 2:30am, she tells him to meet her outside Thirstiel Hospital around 2:20am. Just to be on the safe side. He's still having problems with the infection so she feels a little cruel for asking this of him, but hopefully they'll find something useful and it will be beneficial to him in the long run.

She has a coat on today given the hour, and has her weapon in her hand just in case they run into the creepy monster thing that's inside there. When he arrives though, she gives him a warm smile. Hoping to ease him a little as well. ]

Hello, I hope you are feeling well today?

[despairing_hope]

[He looked rather well, or at least normal. Normal for him anyway. He was feeling well enough to smile and seemed genuinely excited about their adventure to be.

He waved from a distance as he approached, a bag slung over his shoulder and a casual outfit of dark colours with greens and reds mixed in. He felt there was no reason to have on the uniform.]

I'm feeling better. The ring does rather well. It's quite amazing what magical medicine can do!

[assent]

[ It's a good sign to see he doesn't look anywhere nearly as bad as before. Before they go inside though, she does ask: ] Have you been taking the medicine?

[ Because she doesn't know if the others have been in touch. She wants to make sure he'll be alright, even with... everything that's happened. ]

But you are correct. Things are rather different here, are they not?

[despairing_hope]

I've been taking it. I don't have a choice really.

[Whether he wanted to or not he had to. Along with the ring.]

When I first woke up here it was already apparent. It's a bit annoying, but I suppose it's alright in the end.

[assent]

Of course you do not have a choice, it is necessary.

[ But she still wanted to check, he ... does have some complicated views on these things after all. ]

Still, are you ready to go? I came here last night, it is not for the faint of heart.

KIRIGIRI

[assent]

[ Casablanca is actually a nice town outside of... all the decay around the edges. The forest still bleeds in a little, at least in terms of its value for visiting the town like a holiday. It's partly why she signed up for this job, but also because a gun feels like it would be much more of a beneficial weapon compared to her sceptre.

She has it with her now, but it's got a long ribbon tied to it, slung over her shoulder to wear it instead. In her hands is the AK-69, and that's how she'll turn to Kirigiri. Thankfully the weapon is pointed at the floor... but hopefully it isn't too worrying for the other girl given what she knows. ]

Are you ready to go? Let us blow some bitches up.

[ THAT IS NOT WHAT SHE SHOULD SAY. ]

spoopy job at last!

[overextend]

[ Subaki can't say this has been the worst job he's been made to do yet, but it certainly isn't his favorite, either. All sorts of creatures moaning at him isn't an extraordinary or unusual experience. He's seen his fair share of strange creatures back in his own world, though none of them had been this noisy and utterly insufferable.

The urge to cover his ears is there, but he's also watching out for his job 'partner,' having already gotten off on the wrong foot with her once before. His own feelings on the matter of side, he is dedicated to keeping her safe. She may not have asked for it, but he wouldn't let any harm come to her. ]

Why are these jobs more time consuming than challenging? The ghosts haven't done anything except moan. If they would just come out so we can dispense of them quickly and collect the reward, that would be a lot better.

[ All this wandering around feels aimless, and he doesn't like the inefficiency of it all when he's used to completing tasks competently and swiftly. ]

i can't believe you chose the option where she'll have to hold his hand... gross 8(

[assent]

[ This wasn't exactly what she'd planned for her return to this place. She hadn't aimed to go alone, of course. She wasn't stupid. She had hoped that it would be someone else that would stop up tonight, however. It isn't all too bad to start with, but the longer time goes on she's starting to clench her jaw from irritation. ]

Please, do not speak ill of the dead. [ Yes, there are ghosts here but they're also supposed to be looking for clues. She's starting to wonder if this punk is really just so thick headed he can't think past himself (probably). Even Byakuya isn't this bad??? ]

Have more respect.

ACCEPT THIS INTO YOUR HEART

[overextend]

These aren't the type of dead one would speak fondly of.

[ Mostly because they're haunting them and moaning instead of resting peacefully. He's also not entirely sure what killed them. Shouldn't they be more worried about that instead of offending them? What if they stand next in line to be dead-like?

It's not like he has to wonder for much longer as they're all but screaming their troubles at him. He raises his arms in an effort to try and placate them somehow, taking a step back. ]

Easy there! Nobody is here to neglect you. Of course, we're not ignoring the dead. We're speaking with you, aren't we?

[ Not like they leave him much choice, and Subaki really would have preferred a more civil discussion. Even the creatures back in their world aren't this rambunctious and needy. ]

GROSS

[assent]

Excuse you? Because they have been tortured and made to suffer we should not speak fondly of them? Clearly you have never suffered, otherwise you would understand the kind of pain they are in now.

[ She's ready to throw an apple at him again... will Subaki ever learn???? No ]

Please-- ignore him. He knows nothing of the world, is there any way we can help?

[ Sonia steps forward, even holding out her hand towards the wailing spirit. ] I would like to help.
