[selfimmolation]

[ for the timing of it guess who is at the water fountain looking at it being exploded ]

... I feel like that wasn't like this an hour ago.

[unsync]

[ Hm. ]

It wasn't.

[ WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. ]

[selfimmolation]

That happened really fast. How'd they manage that?

[ he sounds a little impressed. no. ]

[unsync]

You'd be surprised at how effective explosions can be.

[ Nobody should be surprised, explosions are a lot. ]

We just got new stuff.

[selfimmolation]

No, I know how explosives work.

[ don't say that casually. ]

I'm just surprised none of us heard it.

wk0, wednesday;

[unsync]

[ We are doing great today folks. Ryuki is standing at the racetracks as he watches cars zip by at breakneck speed, looking questioningly at it all with a can of drink in his hand. ]

Why dedicate an entire place just for racecar when there's an arena... is this really any more popular than, say, baseball?

[selfimmolation]

I don't know about popular, but it's a lot cooler than baseball!

[ ace is probably crouched on the railing like an illegal fool who would die hit by a car ]

Plus cars can't go on grass, right? [ he learned about cars two days ago. he doesn't know this. ]

[unsync]

They can drive on grass, it's just that it's rare that you should do that. Legally speaking.

[ HELP NO ILLEGAL FOOLERY HERE SIR. Ryuki is clearly a little bit frazzled by where Ace is hanging out. ]

Be careful!

[selfimmolation]

Why not, if they can do it?

[ leaaans to look at ryuki. precariously. ]

Careful with what?

wk1, monday;

[unsync]

[ Good morning Ace. Ryuki is just hanging out at the Storybook Cafe at one of the outer tables, staring off into nothing while letting his coffee cool down because he's not drinking it. ]

...

Do you find the seas calming? Ace?

[selfimmolation]

[ ace has a mouthful of donut because that seems apt ]

Mmh? [ he swallows his bite ] I don't know if calming is the right word. It's... Y'know. Home. Freedom. That sort of stuff.

[unsync]

[ He's so valid. ]

I was just wondering. I really like nature even though I grew up in the middle of the city...

It feels like a nice break from things.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah? I great up in a mountain forest. I can't really get used to big cities like this.

[ hmm ]

They opened up a park. That's probably as close to nature as we can get here.

wk2, monday;

[unsync]

[ Ryuki is looking at the synopsis for The Dream Team, live in cinemas today. ]

What.

[ This is ridiculous, he wasn't aware Dreamworks released such a thing. What the hell. ]

I think this is taking milking IPs too far.

[selfimmolation]

[ ace is looking at the poster and nodding because this seems like a regular amalgamation of people ]

They're milking stuff in the movie?

[ that sounds like a weird movie. ]

[unsync]

No!

...

I think!

[ You never fucking know with Dreamworks... you truly just never fucking know. ]

As in, well. These were all pretty popular titles at one point or another in the United States I think, but they were all separate movies. But now it's some kind of mega-movie with all of them?

[selfimmolation]

[ he got like half of that sentence ]

... Help me out, here, I've only seen one Star Wars and one Pirate movie. [ why is the milking up for debate. movies are weird. he looks over at the poster some more ] So... It's sort of like our situation? They're all from different worlds and meeting up for whatever reason?

wk3, monday;

[unsync]

[ It's night and Ryuki has just decided to take a walk. Probably exiting the Rosy Herbs while making a bit of a face, nose pinched and wondering if his sinuses will ever clear from the absolute explosion he just experienced in there.

When he sees Ace though, you can practically see puppy ears popping up and an imaginary tail starting to propeller. But like. Hesitantly. ]

Oh, what are you doing out this late?

[selfimmolation]

[ ace is also just walking out and about at night when he spots ryuki and he waves with a big grin ]

Hey! Just taking a walk. [ he rocks a little on his heels ] You?

[unsync]

I was seeing if they had anything to help with sleep. I think all I did was ruin my sense of smell for the next twenty-four hours instead.

[ He's never been like, HUGE into eastern medicine, but he kind of gets why it's toted as being so powerful now. ]

Don't let me hold you up if you're making your rounds.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, it's pretty strong in there, right?

[ shoves his hands in his pockets and rocks on his heels again ]

You're not holding me up. It'd be a lot more fun walking around with you than on my own. If you want?

wk4, saturday;

[unsync]

[ Us? Granting Zia a death?

It's going to be rather late on Saturday when he comes in. Passed out and now he's alive again, but really barely.

He has what can be considered a sort of care set, water, bread, bento box from the convenience store that he quietly and wordlessly hands over across the bars.

And sits, looking awful and at a loss for words. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ ace is also sitting down, pretty much near the bars. he looks really surprised to be getting the care set from ryuki and he takes it carefully ]

... Thank you.

[unsync]

[ WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED ]

I'm sorry.

[selfimmolation]

[ he will always be surprised at people doing nice things for him sorry he is a sadsack. he gives ryuki a little smirk, trying to downplay... everything ]

... It's alright. I was ready for this outcome.
