week 1, thursday

[ontrend]

You were on fire. What the hell happened?

[HAVE HIS BURNS BEEN TREATED. kuranosuke is losing his mind.]

[engineers]

[ they have! they actually weren't that bad? but he shows kuranosuke his neatly bandaged arm. ]

It was strange. The fire - it was just for a second. I'm okay. [ he's actually like, completely unharmed beyond that! wao. just tired looking. ] We ended up on another island.

[ontrend]

Just - "ended up"? Like, were you trying to go to one of the islands we can usually get to, or did you wake up there, or...

[engineers]

I guess I got on the ferry. I don't remember doing that, though.

[ concerning! ] But, it was a tiny island. Just a box we were supposed to put our hands in. By the time any of us came to, the ferry was gone, so it was the box or lava.

week 2 monday

[engineers]

[ a text! ]

Hey, Kuranosuke.
Do you want to come help me figure out the drinks this week?

[ontrend]

sure! i'm at the aquarium now
i'll head over to the new bar

[and he heads over! he is not dressed up today, but it's fine. he's still pretty.

he raises a hand in a wave when he spots lbx.]

Hey.

[engineers]

(👍ᐛ )👍

[ god it's wildin seeing kuranosuke without bougie wildin outfits on. it's fine. lu bixing is sitting at one of the little tables, playing with a couple of holographic project screens that seem to be coming from his wrist. he's cleaned up from sunday, has a bandage and an eyepatch, and is otherwise vibin. he's fine. very fine.

kuranosuke gets a smile and a little wave of greeting. on the table there are one of each of the new drinks, as well as a couple of shitty beers and a water. ]

Hey, Kuranosuke. C'mon over.

[ontrend]

[the number of times "fine" was said in this tag makes believe that lbx is not, in fact, fine.

kuranosuke goes to join him at the table, glancing from the drinks, to the shitty beers, to the water, and then to lu bixing. deciding that he's probably trying to keep himself occupied and/or distracted after the Yikes of yesterday - ]

So, how are we doing this?

week 2, saturday

[engineers]

[ where's kuranosuke after all that? lu bixing is out on the dock. he's holding somethin between his fingers that is definitely smoking. it's fine? probably? ]

[ontrend]

[sir are you smoking a weed




kuranosuke also comes to the dock eventually]

...hey.

[engineers]

[


that's exactly what it is yeah. when he realizes he's been spotted, though, he pulls it down a little awkwardly and goes to stub it out.

lu bixing pats the spot next to him if he wants to sit. ]

...Hey, Kuranosuke.

[ontrend]

Hey, you don't have to put that out. I've totally seen my professors drunk at bars before, that can't be worse.

[sits down next to him!]

week 3, monday

[ontrend]

[walk walk fashion baby--

which is to say, they're at able's!! unless you still wanted the costume shop, in which case they can be there. in either case, kuranosuke is starting off by looking at premade clothes regardless, though he's wrinkling his nose a little at it.]

Hmm, doesn't quite fit...

[this is fine to say because if you wanted a costume shop one maybe he grabbed something of the wrong size or it doesn't fit the theme for whichever outfit he wants to do idk]

shows up twenty years late as usual christ

[engineers]

[ runs in here for one hundred years later but no let's do ables!!! lu bixing doesn't seem to mind being a guinea pig here - he's vibing, sitting with kuranosuke and looking curiously at the racks. ]

Are you good at alterations too, Kuranosuke? I... can't say that's a skill of mine.

[ontrend]

Ehh, I'm not really the one who did the sewing for our brand, I was the producer and model...

[he's contemplating the clothes, though.

but as he sets some of them down and turns to lbx, they fall into a memshare hole. woo! kuranosuke hits the ground with a thud and a groan, then rolls over to look at the screen.]

Oh, this again...

[bam. gimme a mem too.]

[engineers]

[ cute... this is charming? this is a very charming memory. he doesn't seem to mind seeing it at all - in fact, he laughs, when it ends. ]

Kuranosuke, you looked amazing! You really know how to make an entrance, huh? I can't believe I get to spend so much time with a real life model.

[ stop. this compliment is very effusive and genuine! you also get to wait like a couple tags bc i have to finish this but want to tag you more ]

week 5, monday

[ontrend]

[hello!! they are outside the animal kingdom. kuranosuke has found his way out through the biomes and is now... reading the informational signs on the outside of them.

he looks displeased as he's reading his own. "few can beat how dumb this bitch is"...]

Wooooow. Tell me how you really feel.

[he can't even really refute it though because he sure is sipping from a to-go cup of alcohol while he reads.]

[engineers]

[ help. this is a mood. lu bixing glances over at him, and glances at the list, and then winces extremely sympathetically. oh no. ]

...Well, if it makes you feel better, the majority of these are absolutely ridiculous lies... I've never even heard of a caffeine pill that turns your saliva to espresso. So, maybe it's secretly a compliment....?

[ontrend]

Can't think of a way it'd be a compliment, but if these were written by liars, that's good enough for me.

[he is so offended by being called a dumb bitch



even though it's true]

w5!!! monday!!!

[engineers]

[ sinks my claws into britt threads

this new location is bixing's favorite place, actually. at some point, if kuranosuke happens to wander on the outside of the resort, on the slops and kind of near the kitchen, he might hear the crackle of a small fire.

something smells really good, out here, actually... if he rounds the corner, he'll see lu bixing! he's dressed appropriately in his trenchcoat, with a scarf from the little gift shop wrapped around his neck, and it looks like he has a pair of earmuffs perched on his head, and he's wearing a dog kigu under that.

but more importantly, he's sitting near the source of the little fire! ]

[ontrend]

[well he...



absolutely wanders over toward lu bixing and the fire. he's following the scent of whatever that good smell is, already walking kind of fast, but he walks a bit faster upon spotting the fire. it is cold. it is so cold. please warm him up?]

Lu Bixing, hey! What're you up to today?

[engineers]

[ come on over!!! lu bixing looks back and then brightens when he sees kuranosuke, like immediately waving him over. over the little fire is a... harpoon.

but more importantly on that is some of the meat from the industrial kitchen, barbecuing away like a bigass skewer. he offers him a big grin. ]

Tradition. Hungry?

w7, monday!

[engineers]

[ hello kuranosuke! on this fine afternoon, lu bixing is walking with kuranosuke. maybe they're going shopping? they are probably shopping. but all of a sudden, a bunch of water comes like, flying down out of a window over their heads.

bixing makes a little noise and throws out his soccer mom arm like, immediately to keep kuranosuke from running into it with a little - ] Oh, careful.

[ ??? ]

[ontrend]

[?!]

Whoa, what the heck was that...?

[engineers]

[ there's silence for a second before bixing looks up from where the water came from, and sticks his fingers in his mouth and whistles, loudly.

a second passes, and he calls out: ] Hey, come on, now, neither of us have a lot of money! Plus, you'd use an old trick like that on a couple of cuties like us? I'm offended!

[ and eventually... someone appears at the window! it's a demon woman. she's very scantily clad. hm. she doesn't seem particularly offended, but she does lean out of the window and blow a raspberry, then laughs.

more quietly, to kuranosuke, bixing says; ] It's an old scam to get people to come into a brothel, even if they don't want to.

[ why does he know this ]
