[ There's a yawn at first, looking tired with that notable bag under their eye but that's just the norm. They always look tired. They do offer a smile and small wave though. ]
I'm fine. [ If they are suffering a hangover, they don't seem to be saying as much. ] How about you?
[ A chuckle, because yeah they sure are. Thinks how if someone from home was here too that'd make three of them. ]
Probably. [ Doesn't readily agree because honestly? Adolphe doesn't seem off-putting to them the more they talk to him. ] But it doesn't seem like he minds.
One of my companions back home is pretty similar in a couple ways. [ Said warmly. ] A very people person, trying to please everyone, ready to offer a hug if you so much as need it. ..I do see a bit of him in him.
[ The expression on their face says yes, but they seem to think about it. ]
His childhood was.. a bit lonely, enough so he Changed. Became a person that's loud, friendly, someone you'd want to be with. I know he wants to be seen as someone you could be happy with.
[ A small chuckle. Yeah, a good chunk of the reason Siffrin has escaped the crowd themselves. Suffocating, overwhelming. ]
I'm alright. It was only a day for me, so. [ It's mostly just awkward for them. Fortunate for Adolphe, they're keeping their extremely bad emotions lidded up, no emotion crisis to suffer here. ]
Apparently, I haven't looked at it myself yet but... Lighthouse has been one of my go-to places to begin with. We could still go and check some places out to see for ourselves? If anything dangerous comes up, I have my abilities to help.
[ Reasons... But they can go, will lead him along. To Bikini bottom they ride. ]
Hasn't changed since where we were before, no. Not fully there but.. still enough to help. Most of my craft is just raw damage output, but if I need to I can offer some healing craft and make us faster on our feet.
[ It's okay, execution only showed off their silly time looping trauma and how extremely handy they are with a knife actually. ]
[ wow... siff is an all-rounder. He thought from the way Siffrin mentioned "craft", they were talking about item usage, but they keep mentioning craft, so it makes him double take. ]
What kind of damage output? I'm assuming you don't normally like fighting...
[ The perks of a protag... But no, the way they talk it, it does sound more in line of the mention of magic than something like items. ]
Since my primary is Scissors craft, that heavily focuses on raw damage by attacking multiple enemies or one enemy several times. It's fast piercing damage. [ Blinks at that.. ] Fighting is about all I do, where I'm from.
Not that I did a lot in my travels.. but with more and more of the "monsters" back in my world showing up, I was always taking the lead and attacking first. The knife isn't for show. [ That last bit is said a bit airy, like a tease. ]
[ They can start heading over to their destination!
Fast piercing damage... there's a hologram image that has a chibi Yves holding up his rapier because that's what he's thinking about. But also, maybe if Siffrin wasn't the most recently traumatized culprit, Adolphe would have asked to spar. Alas. ]
Does it have sentimental value to you?
[ He remembers all those times when Siffrin wouldn't allow people to touch it during weapon check. ]
[ It's just GONE. But the lighthouse, they approach. ]
I do. I actually used to always have a sharpening stone on hand for it.. but I ended up losing it a while before I came here.
[ A blink, before they reach out to pull it out and hold out to see. They probably don't mind if he wants to physically hold it. They didn't allow it in trial because obvious reasons for who knows when some killer is gonna be dangerous on main.

w1 thursday
[ Does Siffrin have a hangover? Adolphe has some painkillers and bottles of water. ]
no subject
I'm fine. [ If they are suffering a hangover, they don't seem to be saying as much. ] How about you?
no subject
[ It's fine....... 🤝 tired people though ]
You looked like you were at peace last night.
no subject
..I did?
[ For some reason this comes as a surprise to them. ]
no subject
Adolphe raises an eyebrow. ]
Yeah. Off in your own world... Seeing you like that made it a little hard to approach you, since I didn't want to ruin it.
[ Not like Adolphe approaches most people in the first place, but. ]
no subject
You wouldn't have ruined it. [ Just putting that there first. ] I haven't really attended any celebrations like that before. It was a new experience.
..It was nice seeing everyone have fun.
no subject
[ He ended up drinking too much........ ]
It's good to keep the morale up, isn't it? Despite everything, I'm glad it happened.
no subject
[ So they agree! Siffrin might have drank a bit too much too, but it'll probably be the only time they'll allow themselves to so it was fine. ]
Yeah. Even if for a night, it was good that everyone was able to relax and get to know more about each other.
no subject
[ He mulled over following the rules of the game so much until he just thought "fuck it" and did whatever he wanted. ]
no subject
Some people are just that open about themselves. Ready to share anything about themselves to get to know each other more.
no subject
The way you said it makes them sound desperate.
[ He actually thinks it's funny but. Yeah. ]
no subject
I didn't say that though.
[ Innocent! ]
no subject
[ Being overwhelmed by extroverts............... ]
Would be nice if they got a clue.
no subject
I get it. It's a bit hard to talk to people like that so easily. Ellie and Yves though seem to take it in stride.
no subject
[ Though he can handle the latter more than the former... ]
Yves is probably used to handling off-putting attitude because of me.
[ Look.... sometimes you're just self-aware ]
no subject
Probably. [ Doesn't readily agree because honestly? Adolphe doesn't seem off-putting to them the more they talk to him. ] But it doesn't seem like he minds.
no subject
... He's the kind of person who tries to understand someone even if they stab him at that very moment.
[ Much to Adolphe's chagrin. ]
But he's not a pushover either.
no subject
.. That should be surprising if not concerning but I can see it.
[ It's the vibes Yves carries. Though they nod at that last comment. ]
He doesn't seem like one. [ A bit gullible maybe but, it reminds them too much of someone. ] At least he has you looking out for him.
no subject
He has his own set of beliefs that he's set on. You don't seem too surprised. Do you know someone like that too?
no subject
One of my companions back home is pretty similar in a couple ways. [ Said warmly. ] A very people person, trying to please everyone, ready to offer a hug if you so much as need it. ..I do see a bit of him in him.
no subject
[ To love and be loved in return. ]
no subject
His childhood was.. a bit lonely, enough so he Changed. Became a person that's loud, friendly, someone you'd want to be with. I know he wants to be seen as someone you could be happy with.
[ And they are, they like being by his side. ]
WEEK 7, MONDAY
Escaping the crowd?
no subject
... Yeah. It's a lot, especially considering that emotional assimilation is happening again.
[ And the reason why he kinda feels better interacting with Siffrin. ]
How are you feeling?
no subject
I'm alright. It was only a day for me, so. [ It's mostly just awkward for them. Fortunate for Adolphe, they're keeping their extremely bad emotions lidded up, no emotion crisis to suffer here. ]
What about you?
no subject
[ Mister "i've been dead since W1 friday due to someone's work schedule". ]
I haven't been to most of these places... I'd ask if you could show me around to better ones, but it seems like everything changed?
no subject
[ The W1 vs the W6. ]
Apparently, I haven't looked at it myself yet but... Lighthouse has been one of my go-to places to begin with. We could still go and check some places out to see for ourselves? If anything dangerous comes up, I have my abilities to help.
no subject
[ He's... never been there before. For reasons. Anyway, he seems curious. ]
So your abilities also work here? What kind would help us?
[ Sorry, Siffrin. He didn't watch your execution but I, haki, did............ ]
no subject
Hasn't changed since where we were before, no. Not fully there but.. still enough to help. Most of my craft is just raw damage output, but if I need to I can offer some healing craft and make us faster on our feet.
[ It's okay, execution only showed off their silly time looping trauma and how extremely handy they are with a knife actually. ]

Does it have sentimental value to you?
[ He remembers all those times when Siffrin wouldn't allow people to touch it during weapon check. ]
no subject
Also honestly, sparring is the best way to tackle trauma. Hold their feelings and one day die with them. Again. ]
Mm.. I've had it for as long as I remember, so I guess so?
[ Handing over a weapon just seems dangerous in general. ]
no subject
Do you sharpen it often? That's a long time to own a same knife, isn't it?
[ And because his sword maintenance nerd side is showing, he asks: ]
Can I see it?
[ Sure, he could have seen it in detail during trials, but there were other pressing things to look at. ]
no subject
I do. I actually used to always have a sharpening stone on hand for it.. but I ended up losing it a while before I came here.
[ A blink, before they reach out to pull it out and hold out to see. They probably don't mind if he wants to physically hold it. They didn't allow it in trial because obvious reasons for who knows when some killer is gonna be dangerous on main.
Anyway, knife. ]
no subject
It's been really taken care of...
[ He's almost in awe. ]
