[ a red prinny appears to lead nico to the sirius theater, where phoenix is currently reclining near back of the audience to watch a rehearsel, feet kicked up on the back of the chair in front of them. ]
[ he truly is just staring at this prinny wondering why there are different colors now. but it's fine. he follows along, hands in the pockets of his jacket and entering the theater. he will have a seat nearby. carefully. leaning forward so he's not squishing the hood of his jacket against the back of the seat. ]
It's been a day and you doubted me? Harsh, Phoenix. [ he's not remotely serious and he knows what kind of impression he gives off. ] ...I try to follow through on the things that I say as best as I can.
[ he turns to look at the stage though, squinting briefly. ]
Hi, hi! I've got it, just gimme a sec to find it, 'kay?
[ a minute later, nico's phone pings as an image comes through. it's a map of the city that we don't have a graphic for, but he will be able to tell that it's a large, sprawling city with justice circle at the center and a beach to the east. ]
Here you go! It might not match up perfectly anymore, though.
[ i appreciate you humoring me anyway mods. but hum. he is studying the map. ]
this still helps, thank you i've been wondering how big oceanside city is so this is a good scale are you guys hoping to rebuild it exactly the way it was?
[ snaccies... he just kind of drifts in like the shadow he is. ]
Nico, yeah. I wouldn't have blamed you for not remembering right away though. There's thirty-five of us and I'm not on your team. It's a lot of people to keep track of so soon.
[They can cross paths at some point during the day! It's not White Tiger's week to be helpful to the new heroes so they're doing their own thing. But when they see Nico, they will stop and greet him.]
[ me as white tiger. but nico's out and about and he kind of has it as a mission in his head now to try and see tiger and figure out what their deal is. what ox had said to him days before stuck pretty well, and so there's a nod of greeting in return. ]
Hey. It's been a busy week already, hasn't it? [ ... ] How are you getting along? You guys have a lot of adjusting to do, too.
...it's okay. I think the other four tried their best, but it felt a little awkward talking to them when they were very obviously affected by things. [ but that sums it up. ] It sort of feels like everything since Thursday hasn't turned out the way anyone expected.
Did you hear about everything from the trial? [ he says "trial" like he's not sure he wants to call it a trial and that it was more of a circus. ]
[ this is so cute. also, he looks a little surprised. ]
Um. Not exactly? I guess following a recipe isn't that difficult but it isn't really something I do. Why, are you looking for someone who knows how to make them?
[Ox can be found at the park! They're enjoying the nice weather there on this fine Tuesday. When they see Nico walk up, they wave and then scoot over a bit on the bench so he can sit too.]
[ he comes to have a sit! i have no idea literally when he's doing this between the rest of his tuesday, i realized, i guess it is just tuesday forever and time doesn't matter. anyway. ]
I think I'm still figuring that out. [ at least he's honest? ] But I was hoping to run into you. I wanted to see how you were after this weekend.
[ he is not sure how to feel about being called little bird, but he tilts his head at the question. makes it canon that he was not at the dorm when rabbit came to visit. ]
I don't know if I can help with that, but I can try. What were you thinking?
[ They're on the first floor of their dorm with all the recent editions of the newspaper spread out before them. Looks like they're in the process of notating each one. ]
[ there is a high chance he just wandered into this dorm on accident while he was looking at something on his phone, but he pretends it's on purpose when he sees snake. give him a moment to look them over before he approaches. ]
[ he would have gone to see them in person but he thought snake would like some privacy so he is being respectful about that. but he does answer when he gets the reply. ]
we did it's not enough but we did a little improvement over last week at least...
[Re: today was stressful, but i hope you're doing okay]
Truth be told I'm never really okay. And I'm worried about Snake. They're not used to the tiger, it's hard on them. But you didn't vote out an innocent person this week so congratulations I suppose.
[ admittedly he doesn't really know how to respond to that so like. he doesn't. for a little bit. ]
right, i understand that this week's been...pretty brutal on everyone i think a lot of people are struggling right now so that was kind of why i checked in we did better than last time but it still wasn't everything it could have been but an improvement is an improvement
[ you know that's incredibly fucking fair. he lingers in the doorway for a moment, watching before he steps in and silently closes the door. he keeps his distance just in case, but after a moment he speaks up. ]
You really do have good form. [ it's kind of mumbled and it's not even what he came to say, but. ] I guess this answers my question about how you're feeling after all of that.
to be honest i did expect you to say no but sometimes it's what phoenix and i do when there's nothing else we CAN do i wasn't sure if it was my place to send a message making sure you're doing alright after everything that just happened but at the same time it felt too weird not to
[ sometimes you do your own vibe checks without telling anyone they are vibe checks to see a tone because you're concerned about people you don't know as well. ]
in a way i think making sure you're in the loop is kind of like taking care of myself phoenix like...i'm actually doing something to help instead of having to sit back and watch more people die and not be able to fix it or fix how people feel you know?
[ and true to his word, he does eventually wander his way over to tiger dorm. actually now that he thinks about it he's never been here so he's just kind of poking around and investigating for himself while waiting for tiger to come let him in. ]
[ this is so fucking funny actually to me personally, but he's just like why????????? ]
it's...fine? i think i mean it was weird and i still have a lot of mixed feelings about it but i don't THINK you were personally responsible, right? i'm still trying to understand why people are going on these adventures
which you would think i'd have remembered but i think i just got mad kogitsunemaru kept dodging the obvious and yes i know it's hypocritical since we killed albedo but this feels much worse are you okay?
[ fox can easily be found on the top roof of the storybook cafe, looking over everything up there. they linger by the mural in particular.
they are also more of a walking, ever-changing painting than a person right now, with the occasional burst of painted fireworks coming off their skin. ]
Hey, hey, Nikkun! Come to see everyone's hard work? It turned out really nice.
[ hello fox...up he goes onto the roof, folding his bat wings back a little and slipping his hands into the pocket of his hoodie. your paint-self...he's watching a little curiously, humming to himself. ]
Yeah, right? It's something a lot of us have been talking about and putting together, so I'm glad it finally got finished and everybody can see the end results. And...if it's public, they can see it on the other side, right?
can't like...you don't know? or can't like i should just look the other way and be grateful it happened? which. i am. extremely. i could have done without the extra trauma of electrocuting my boyfriend to death but you win some you lose some
[ jokes are coping. ]
...but thank you. i'm more relieved than i can say myself
