w0 ; tuesday late evening.

[escardos]

[ after corpse 2 gate... flat can be found in the hotel. in whatever common area there is...he's just playing cards!

when he sees kotetsu, he waves, smiling brightly. you know, like he get far too close for comfort with a corpse. at least he showered after all of that. ]

Hi, Mister Kotetsu! I didn't think you'd be up so late.

[ gives a soft wave at him and approaches ]

Why wouldn't I be up at this time?

[escardos]

Older people need to sleep more!

[ hE JUST SAYS IT. SO NORMALLY. ]

Anyways, what's up!?

[sponsoredby]

Doesn't mean we always get it.

[ You know what? He's used to being called old man so much this doesn't even bother him. CHILDREN. ]

Just digesting everything that happened today. What's got you up and about?

[escardos]

That's true...my Professor always looks like he doesn't get enough sleep.

[ he collects the cards, shuffling. ]

Hmm, not much? I'm usually up around this hour back at home, and I think that the excitement of being in a new place is still fueling me with energy. It's such a strange situation, after all.

w1 ; evening post execution

[escardos]

Mister Kotetsu? Are you awake?

[ might as well check on the man that got stabbed in the gut with a trident. ]

It's Flat.

[ my, my. he's a popular man today. he's luckily resting at the very second and looks over, finley yawning lazily in her tiger form. ]

Hey there, Flat. I'm awake, don't worry.

[escardos]

[ jack will switch over to his wolf form, moving over to sniff finley. ]

I’m not really good at condolences, so I’m really sorry to not give them. [ he smiles, sheepish. ] I’m happy you’re alive.

[ the tiger seems pretty good, all things considered. ]

No, it's fine. They're not exactly easy to give. But thanks... I appreciate that.

w2; wednesday

[escardos]

[ when flat sees kotetsu, he's about to call for him to get him to go the fuck back to bed but--

well, you know the drill. you touch a crystal, and a memory plays out! ]

[sponsoredby]

[ that catches him off guard and he's confused a little as he looks around. he'd heard the name and it's... it really is flat's memory?

his head tilts a little confused, looking at him very ??????? ]

[escardos]

H-hello!

[ jack, the crow, caws. ]

Hey, Flat. That was... something...?

[week 3 ; saturday ; post-trial]

[sponsoredby]

[ he isn't looking for anyone in particular. in fact, he probably is hoping not to run into too many people right now after all that. which is why it's somewhat of a surprise when he pauses and stops in his walk when he sees Flat.

for a moment, he just stops to look at him, trying to gauge how he's doing first. ]

[escardos]

[ flat is.....

well, technically he's facing kotetsu, but he doesn't seem to be seeing kotetsu. it's more like he's seeing right through him.

or not seeing anything at all. he's spacing out. ]

[sponsoredby]

[ he sees that... and debates a moment. but he slowly approaches flat, setting aside some of his anger for the moment. ]

How are you...?

[escardos]

....

[ ....? ]

Oh, Mister Kotetsu. Hello.

[week 5 ; saturday ; post-trial]

[sponsoredby]

[ he's out wandering after all that, trying to clear his mind. his left leg is bleeding again, but that's fine. finley is pressed close to him.

he comes across flat at the chapel and gives him a small wave. ]

What a day.

[escardos]

…

[ flat seems to be reading a letter, and responds to kotetsu after a few seconds of delay.

there’s a small growl from the pews. it’s jack, who warns kotetsu from coming closer. ]

I guess it was a pretty active day. But at least we caught the killer, no?

[sponsoredby]

[ he doesn't come closer, finley pressing close to him. ]

We caught someone that was being controlled. I don't even want to call them killers anymore when there wasn't a choice.

[escardos]

Well that’s what they want us to be, no?

[ he forces a small smile. ]

What will you call them, then?

w6 ; post trial

[escardos]

[ flat is...just investigating around star circle when he spots kotetsu. ]

Mister Kotetsu! Can I join you?!

[sponsoredby]

[ he shifts his attention to whatever he was looking for and then gives a bit of a smile at flat. ]

Sure, I don't mind at all.

[ at least his mood is better than it was at trial by now. ]

[escardos]

[ jack trots towards him, barking happily. flat runs behind, until he catches up. ]

How are you doing, sir?

[sponsoredby]

[ he makes a sound in thought. ]

Better than I was earlier at the trial. How are you holding up?

[ finley peers over at the energetic duo. ]
