WEEK 0, MONDAY

[punnier]

[ LIGHTS, STAGE... ACTION. Here is Siffrin, in their default garb, exploring the lightstage. Steps quiet and careful as he steps over the dimly glowing stagefloor all cozily set up on the sand. How cute.

Step, step, step... the small traveler mostly drawn by the way the lights dance beneath their steps, as music plays that I yoink from the locations page this was not me i did not do this.

As he raises his head, he then realizes he isn't alone. ]

Elysia.. hello. Fancy set up, huh?

[florescences]

[ siffrin, has no one taken you clothes shopping?

elysia is also drawn to the lights. she spins around, following them as they light up. ]

Siffrin, hiii! It's nice. I love all the lights. Do you dance?

[punnier]

[ Siffrin went once, got a poncho cloak out of it, and never went back after finding their clothes from home so... yeah.

Watches her spin around, smiling a little, before the question comes and he blinks a few. ]

Dance? [ (...Do you? You feel like... maybe you know, but...) ] I don't know. But, I'm pretty quick on my feet in battle, that's kinda like dancing right..?

[ It's not. ]

WEEK 0, SATURDAY POST-TRIAL.

[punnier]

[ Elysia can find a familiar blob of white heading towards the lighthouse, though before they can venture up the stairs they stop and wait until she's close enough to offer a quiet greeting. ]

Getting some fresh air too?

[florescences]

I'm looking for you. Want to go up together?

[ she holds out a hand to them. ]

[punnier]

For me? [ Bwuh? ] --Oh, sure.

[ It comes with that familiar hesitation, but carefully and gently they put their hand in hers and doesn't mind taking the lead. Up the stairs they go! Up to the top of that lighthouse for that pretty view of the sea. ]

Was there something you needed from me?

week 1, tuesday

[florescences]

[ elysia can be found in the library, making a little diorama. there aren't any little figures yet, but the stage is half done.

she looks up with a smile when she senses a presence. ]

Hi, Siffrin.

[punnier]

[ CUUUTEE. Siffrin who is fox flavor kinda pauses, looking very curious before offers a small wave. ]

Ellie, hello. ..What is that?

[florescences]

[ siffrin is the one who's cuuuute what a cute fox. elysia's skin flickers between looking like crystals, flower petals, and static. ]

I wanted to make a little diorama. Either for people I miss from home or for the people I met here.

WEEK 2, MONDAY

[punnier]

[ Some maze exploration sounds fun! But maybe someone is cheating a little as there's the sound of something slashing and a figure appears with knife in hand.

A gloved hand tilts their hat up, and Siffrin does look a bit different at least appearance wise. If having two eyes now and their black dyed hair is anything to go by but they're still around the same age. He offers her a cute wink with a grin. ]

Mind if I cut in? [ Their energy to definitely more whimsy, twirling their knife and sheathing it under their cloak. ]

[florescences]

[ oh, this energy. this new look. this verve... younger somehow but not?

elysia smiles, happy to see siffrin at any point, but it makes her wonder what cause such a change... although the puns haven't changes. ]

I'd welcome your cutting figure anytime, Siffrin. How dashing you are, as always.

[punnier]

[ The puns stay punning, even if their steps and movements seem lighter. Not deathly quiet as before. Not like they're constantly moving and trying to get somewhere. No, here they're taking their time. ]

Hah! [ A brief laugh at the join in joke, and giving her the most dramatic bow. ] You honor me, Ellie.

Mind if I join you?

WEEK 3, MONDAY

[punnier]

[ YIPPEE MEMSHARE DAY voids us as they get trapped in the house of mirrors

in which a nice, pleasant memory will play... ]

[florescences]

[ oh yes.... so nice.....

it started out happily enough, but the turn it takes.... oh, the toll it must have taken. elysia's existence is long in a much different way than timeloops, but she can only imagine how having to repeat the same thing over and over again would wear a person out.

especially for someone as sweet as siffrin. ]

How many times, Siffrin? How long have you suffered?

[punnier]

[ The implication is quietly there, with their meeting with Mirabelle again - a day before facing the King. The same two days. Over and over and over and over.

Their own reflection stares back at them, a much more frazzled and to them a version that doesn't yet realize what's ahead of them. Lost. Confused. Not when the Siffrin here stares so tiredly at the mirror, expression worn but they blink and it just happens so naturally now.

So convincing. A smile to convince their friends back home, to convince the people here. ]

..I wouldn't say I've been suffering. I've gotten used to it. [ Lies. But in part, it's to convince themselves, too. ] ..I don't know. The... loops blend together, after a while. Over a hundred now..? Something like that.

[ Sure, they could have lied about how long but they're afraid of what the mirror will show if they don't admit at least that. And, really, over a hundred loops of the same two days, it's not... that bad. They've been making use on time is all! (...) ]

week 3, thursday

[florescences]

[ GET BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER YOU MORE IF YOU BLEED OUT

she watches them for a second. she'd expect this behavior from yves or maybe marcoh, but them? ]

Siffrin? Siffrin!

[punnier]

[ WHOOPSIE

Startles at sight of her, freezing, though they look disorientated and they just

hold their hand for her? ]

WEEK 6, sunday

[florescences]

[ PRE SLEEPOVER

but maybe after they settle a little bit. elysia would have chased them for real and cheated doing so, but plot happened. after discussion slows and before they start to gather again for a last night together, she holds out her hand to them. ]

Let's go talk somewhere alone, hm?

[punnier]

[ There's a moment of hesitation, whether it be nerves or a general nervous or some other reason all entirely but -

there's a small nod, carefully reaching to take her hand. He would follow her anywhere, honestly. ]

WEEK 7, MONDAY

[punnier]

[ Quiet time in the neighborhood, a nice spot in the gazebo with the church and garden nearby. Though, actually, Siffrin is more closer to the garden in this instance. Though they perk up at the sight of Elysia and come ever closer. One would think after having one day back sooner the emotions would be chill but. That bubbling yearning is so strong in this case, with nervousness, affection and love in that instance of crushing. ]

El, hello. [ At least their more negative emotions are being lidded, as they shift for a moment until gently hold out a pink camellia flower. Their other hand does a quick snap of their fingers, before their hand holds in a more open palm and the flower starts to float and spin after a ray of black streaks of lines and black stars shine over it as their craft magic casts over it. ] Flower for a flower.

[ That is... they are calling her.. a flower.. not asking for an exchange! Ahhh, that pun didn't work at all. ] ..I figured.. now was a better time, to share what flower traditions are from my country.

[florescences]

[ elysia's default emotion is love, love, love. there is affection when she sees siffrin, and when they offer her the flower can cast craft magic over it, her joy bubbles to the surface, too. ]

Oh, Siffrin.

[ she takes the camellia before enveloping them in a hug. ]

Thank you. I remember our letters. You're important to me, too.

WEEK 7, WEDNESDAY POST THING

[punnier]

[ GATHERS MY ARMS FULL OF ARA PCS

Anyway, Siffrin really just stays in the same place.. which is the gardens in the neighborhood, but they are laying down in the grass just staring up at the beginning evening sky. Stargazing time? ]

[florescences]

[ when elysia spots them, she makes her way over to lie down next to them.

stargazing time! for as chatty as she can be, she doesn't mind taking in the beauty of the stars in comfortable silence. ]

WEEK 7, SATURDAY

[punnier]

[ We are at.. the beach! Where the stars are beginning to appear so nicely in the night sky. He's seated on the sands, near the shore but not too close to get wet.

Since, well, he's got more of those origami birds beside them. Currently with one cupped in their hands from where they think hard (please work, please work) and it will flutter to life after a glimmer of black stars from their craft.

Watches as it zooms over to fly over to greet Elysia, hi. ] ..Oh. El, hello.

[florescences]

Hi, Sif.

[ she holds out her hands to the origami bird that greeted her, cupping it gently. ]

Was that what you expected?
