WEEK 0, SUNDAY

[voidbreaker]

[ hey brilith, are you in the kitchen? hopefully you're in the kitchen at some point because there's free food happening here. maybe.

ash is cooking. maybe he'll share. ]

[infire]

[ something smells amazing?! brilith has never had to cook in her life, so imagine her surprise at finding the kitchen at all, and then finding a teenager cooking! she'll offer him a sheepish smile, whether ash looks her way or not. ]

It smells wonderful.

[voidbreaker]

[ he’s a man of many talents, Brilith. ]

Hm?

Oh this? [ he just kinda looks down at the pan, like he wasn’t really thinking about what he was making ] I’m just throwing stuff together. The food they’ve been serving isn’t bad, but it’s not like there’s a tonne of things to do here otherwise.

week 0, friday

[infire]

[ now that the news has been broken to her, brilith is slowly wandering the manor with downcast eyes. it's difficult to find relief in being free of her room with the knowledge of someone's death hanging over her head, and she can't even find solace in reading at the moment, so she's... feeling quite useless, as she walks. the feeling intensifies when she bumps into someone, immediately backing up to apologize. ]

I'm sorry - I should have been more careful.

[voidbreaker]

[ Well. He could get pissy about it, but what's the point, really? ]

Probably. I'll let you off though. [ These are, uh. Exceptional circumstances. ]

[infire]

Oh! Ash!

[ why is she so relieved to find the one who turned her to a life of crime. ]

I'm glad you're alright. Someone told me that Haruka may have been poisoned, so I was worried there might be something in the food.

week 2, monday

[infire]

[ backdating to yesterday because i was tired. anyway wherever ash is, brilith is coming to find him. ]

Hello, Ash. I have a favor to ask of you, if you don’t mind.

[ she’s wearing a smile, but it seems unsure, like she’s expecting him to tell her to leave. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ doxxes ray on main for being tired ]

Depends on what you’re gonna ask me.

[infire]

[ that's not a secret ]

Your profile - it said you're skilled in fighting. [ ... ] Would you teach me?

week 2, saturday

[infire]

[ what's up, it's night and brilith needs distance. the garden is the most comfortable place to do so, so she's here, sitting at a bench with her staff leaning against it and watching the flowers sway in the breeze. she'll look up when she hears ash, and oddly enough she doesn't even try to smile. ]

Ash. How are you doing, after today?

[voidbreaker]

I feel like I should be asking you that.

[ same hat, brilith. the garden is quiet and ash kinda likes the idea of that more than shutting himself up in the library or anything like that. ]

WEEK 3; MONDAY

[voidbreaker]

[ what's up brilith, welcome to library. remember to steal books on your way out because none of these assholes can be trusted with books ever.

ash is just sat at one of the tables, picking books up from a giant pile, flicking through them and sorting them into what looks like three smaller piles in front of him. this is all good. ]

[infire]

[ we must Protect The Books.

that said. what the heck is ash doing? he's not even reading them. ]

Are you cataloguing them?

week 3; Monday Late PM

[voidbreaker]

[ Ash is on a mission and a half. He’s been traipsing around the whole mansion looking for someone in particular — and of course she’s gonna be in the last place he looks, way up in the astronomy tower. ]

Bril.

[infire]

[ of all the people she's expecting to come looking for her, it isn't ash. even so, she'll offer him a smile. ]

Ash. Did you come to see the stars?

[ or the charts. that seems like something he'd be interested in, at least to glance at once. ]

week 3; post trial

[voidbreaker]

[ binch are you ready he's lookin' for you ]

[infire]

[ ash won't have to look far. she's in room 15, waiting out the effects of the sedative, and she can't escape his wrath. when there's yet another sound at her door, she can only sigh. ]

Yes, yes, come in.

[ as long as it isn't agni, she doesn't particularly care who's there. let's just get it over with. ]

week 4, thursday

[infire]

[ sometime this morning, brilith will go looking for ash! it's unsurprising that she'd find him in the library, as the first she checks. good! she'll steal some more books on the way out. ]

Hello, Ash. I have a favor to ask, if you don't mind.

[voidbreaker]

[ good girl, stealing all those books. get 'em. ]

Hey Bril. Depends what you're asking, but go ahead.

week 5, monday

[infire]

[ can you believe brilith still hasn't checked out this damn closet. we're fixing that now, so what's up, ash. she pauses when she sees him, uh. ripping apart some pants? and raises an eyebrow. ]

Am I interrupting something?

[voidbreaker]

[ brilith you fool. go get some nice new clothes! ash just looks at her, and then at the pants. ]

... Pant problems. You alright?

week 5, friday

[infire]

[ alright you little shit, you can only run from brilith ruin for so long. when she finds him in the lounge, she thinks it's almost appropriate, and even considers a glass of wine for a second before focusing back on ash. ]

You know we'll find whoever did this, right?

[voidbreaker]

Our track record has a few blips it in, Bril.

[ seriously just take the wine, ash has whiskey in a glas and is definitely drinking it he's fine. ]

week 6, monday

[infire]

[ hey there, ash. brilith's got a slightly larger bag than usual now, to carry all her shit. she's got a lot, but thankfully it's all small stuff. ]

Hunter and Luna will be coming with us. [ just in case. he missed the memo. ] You took something from the museum, right?

[voidbreaker]

[ maybe they are going camping, not on a murder journey ]

Yeah. [ he waves the orange cellphone in his pocket ] No idea what it does but my own equivalent revived someone so who knows what this’ll do.

[ ... a little dryly: ]

Think you can persuade the Doc that rebelling against her coding and society and not throwing herself into fires for people is a great idea and she should try it sometimes?
