Catch-all; Lucretia

Comments

Week 1, Wednesday

[momming]

[ Otome is honestly just perusing the cafeteria when she spots a face she hasn't really spoken to-- and she pauses, before calling out to her. ]

Lucretia, correct? Aren't you a sight for sore eyes.

[ambiography]

Oh-- Otome. I'm glad to see you feel well enough to be out and about.

[she just gets a pleasant smile in return! sometimes, you don't know someone and maybe they're just like this.]

[momming]

I'm glad, too... I don't think they would give me a pass to miss classes just because I had to engage in a death match against a teenager.

[ She... says this very tiredly. ]

w1, sunday

[ambiography]

Otome?

Please tell me if you need time to yourself first, but I'd like your professional opinion on something later. In person, preferably.

[momming]

[ She really doesn't think she wants to speak to anyone, not when her emotions feel a bit of a mess.

But needs must, and she replies. ]

I can meet up with you whenever you'd like.

[ambiography]

Take at least an hour or two, first, and then meet me at the Spring dormitory? I'll let you in when you arrive.

[it's a dual-purpose sort of thing, honestly. she does need otome's assistance, but on the other hand--

she sort of has a feeling otome is not the type to seek others out. might be the type others seek out instead, honestly, and she just might need a little time to both not be alone with her thoughts and not need to comfort others.]

Week 2, Saturday

[momming]

[ Otome is stepping into the library, for any amount of reasons, but-- ]

... Quite a day, wasn't it?

[ Hi, Lucretia. She looks exhausted. ]

[ambiography]

You know, I think that just might be an understatement.

[she's got her chin propped in one hand, going through a book she's not paying particular attention to.]

[momming]

I suppose I should be happy that we found a murderer, but...

[ Honestly, it just leaves a sour taste in her mouth. ]

w3, monday

[ambiography]

[hello we just live in the library and that's fine. lucretia doesn't have a book with her yet, she's just going through the shelves looking for something new to pick up; she pauses after coming across otome though, offering her a little smile.]

Looking for anything in particular, Otome?

[momming]

Actually, yes. Taichi-kun mentioned digital monsters and I was curious to see if I could find something on them. I wanted to try cross-referencing them with demons.

[ Nerd. ]

[ambiography]

Ah, seeing if there are similarities between them? It isn't a bad idea-- there can be odd similarities between worlds.

[double nerd.]

Week 3, Saturday

[momming]

[ She walks into the library. And without preamble-- ]

Do you drink, Lucretia?

[ambiography]

[oh, she just immediately nods.]

Come on, Chad left us some of the good stuff this week. Let's get some booze in here.

[let's go over to spring dorm and grab some.]

[momming]

What a kind Dorm Head you have.

[ She's tagging along immediately. ]

Week 4, Friday

[momming]

[ ... well, she has to check. ]

How are you feeling?

[ambiography]

I'm all right, most of the time, but- you really don't have to worry over me right now, Otome.

[summer dorm :( otome just went through as much trouble as she did and lost people on top of it.]

w4, saturday

[ambiography]

[we'll sayyy abandoned classroom. lucretia goes looking for her, at some point after trial, and when she eventually does manage to come across otome... she lingers back, a little. otome will be able to feel there's some guilt coming off of her, alongside the simmering anger that's a more general thing. god, she hates this place so much.]

Otome...? Otome, I'm sorry.

[momming]

...

[ Otome looks up and maybe it's just Lucretia's fellow mom vibes but tears just. Start pouring down her face. ]

W-why on earth are you apologizing?

Week 5, Wednesday

[momming]

[ Here they are in the art room! Otome still looks a little tired, but not as Dead as she did over the weekend. ]

... Do you paint, Lucy?

[ambiography]

-Lucy?

[she blinks, at that? it's unexpected, honestly, she's so used to just going by 'the director' if not her real name, but--

from otome, she'll take it. it's not overly casual coming from her.]

I- well, yes, I do. We've gone too long without the supplies for it, I think.

[she has a project, actually! what she's working on looks like... a group portrait of absolutely everyone. living and dead, dorm heads included.]

Week 6, Sunday

[momming]

[ What's that in the distance! It's someone who's been looking for her obviously. ]

Lucy--!!

[ambiography]

-Otome.

[hello, she is SO relieved to see her-- she's hurrying right over.]

Week 7, Saturday

[momming]

[ Hi, Lucretia. Otome just looks tired, but. Also like a burden's been lifted off her shoulders. ]

It's strange to think we're finally concluding things, not just warily entering a new week.

[ambiography]

It is, but-- to be honest with you, even if it's not a done deal just yet, it's-- such a relief.

[just to be here, to hopefully be bringing it all to a close.]
