[ it's dark in the planetarium and that's where yuri is now hiding. wow he's been in a lot of places this past single hour of post-boat-drunkeness.

anyway he's just curled on one of the seats and i hope mahito trips over him because it's what they both deserve. ]

THIS FUCKING SHITPOST SENT ME STRAIGHT TO HELL i love it

[touchups]

[YURI.......

Anyway wow yeah he's absolutely tripping over Yuri because he's looking up at the beautiful lovely sky overhead! THERE HE GOES, just whackin into his poor side and then tumbling over the top of him, splatting on the ground.]

Ow—!

good, it sends me

[aubins]

[ why does everyone keep tripping over him his hair is very noticeable. ]

Ow.

[touchups]

[String it through with neon lights and no one will ever miss it again.

Anyway, he rolls over from where he'd smacked onto the floor, blinking up at the ceiling for a second... And then looking over toward Yuri.]

What are you doing down here?

w0 sat

[touchups]

[HAHA!! Wow. What a wild 9 hours, right? Mahito's stretching as he wanders into the common room, because even though he took a couple of nap breaks, being stuck in a chair for a full work shift is still HELL...

He also flops bonelessly onto one of the couches, looking Yuri's way.]

...Could've gone better!

[SURE COULD'VE.]

[aubins]

[ yuri is actually! looking in the hot tub. like if he looks hard enough, or maybe wraths out on the hot tub it'll cough up secrets. ]

There's an understatement if I've ever heard one.

[touchups]

[Y...yuri....... He's looking for the outside bones huh. There's a little huff of laughter, and then:]

What're you looking for, anyway? Trying to find anything you might've missed?

week 1, monday

[aubins]

[ welcome to the flea party.

yuri is already sat at a table, tiny, fancy cake in one hand and the other lifting the lid of a tea pot to check on the state of the tea he's brewing.


he's not usually the one that does this after all. ]

[touchups]

[FLEA CIRCUS, FLEA PARTY, IT'S JUST THE FLEA FLOOR...

Anyway his curiosity hasn't been nerfed, so he's absolutely just trotting over as soon as he spots Yuri hanging out in this new room. With a cheery wave, as he slides on into an empty seat:]

Hi! What're you trying?

[aubins]

[ i feel fleas in this chilis tonight.

hello is hand is full of cake but he can nod at least. ]

... I think it's a tea from home. Or at least, one that has the same name. Might as well try it and see.

week 2, monday

[aubins]

[ hello flea.

yuri's in the biome gardens, apparently with no real purpose as he just seems to be wandering around and examining the flowers and vines littering the whole area. eventually, he'll just drop down on a bench with a deep sigh -- like he's relishing the air quality.

which he probably is, actually. ]

[touchups]

[They are both here for literally the exact same reason which is hilarious. THE AIR QUALITY! THE GREENERY!! THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL, DAMN. The simulation room is fine and all, he loves it, but it's just not the same. There's something wonderful about being able to feel a flower in your hand and have it not like, immediately vanish the second you step out of the room.

Anyway! When he spots Yuri, he brightens up, trotting over toward the bench he's vibin on. He's apparently become a fashion flea overnight too, since he's wearing his hair in a braid today with a pretty green ribbon woven through it.]

Hey! What a great room, right?

[aubins]

[ gmail really looked at this tag and went "this is a no flea zone" and just didn't tell me you'd posted. a flealess zone.

wow, look at this rocking man with his braid and ribbon. is he going to get flowers braided into it as well? ]

It's a little more... I dunno, calming? Than the other ones we've had.

week 2, sunday, post execution

[aubins]

[ star room star room they are in the star room. ]

Hey.

[ what's up flea man. ]

[touchups]

[STAR ROOM STAR ROOM!! Mahito's lying on the floor, looking up toward the constellations. He'll look over when he hears Yuri, though, and raise a hand.]

Ah - hi. [A beat.] You were close with Luca, yeah?

[Maybe Omi too, damn he doesn't know everyone's friendship business. Still, must've been an unpleasant week.]

[aubins]

[ he tramples over him without merc-- no. he'll stop by his head and look down at him. ]

That depends on what you're about to ask me next.

[ damn, who's who of friendships. ]

w4 tues

[touchups]

[Just for some DAY VARIETY in this house...

Anyway Mahito's NEW new favorite room is the creepyass forest, so hopefully Yuri enjoys the great outdoors... Or maybe he'll just catch Mahito on his way in or out. Unlike all their gotdam tsuns, he seems perfectly content with things this week and waves in friendly greeting when he spots Yuri Yurison.]

Morning! [IS IT EVEN MORNING.] Gonna take a walk through the woods? It's really nice.

[aubins]

[ look at this gremlin flea man scuttling through the forest ]

Hello.

[ he'll just... opt for the more time neutral greeting. ] I'm planning on looking through most of the new locations if I can.

Feels like I should be more surprised by an entire forest in here, but after a dog park and a garden maybe that's a bit stupid of me.

[touchups]

[He is finally home... with all the other cryptids here...]

Haha, well! A whole forest is still pretty different from a dog park and that garden, right? Much better, too!

[STRETCHING HIS HANDS up overhead, toward the canopy!! He loves it here, damn.]

Even if it's still inside, you can really forget about that for a while when you're here, you know?

week 4, friday post investigation

[aubins]

[ aki this is going to be a thing of beauty, wait for it.

yuri's in the common room.

he has some wine. what's up? ]

[touchups]

[im so fucking late but i want to see the thing of beauty so im tagging back this irrelevant invest pc anyway WHO'S GONNA STOP ME

Anyway, he'll raise a hand in greeting when he spots Yuri, seemingly on reflex, but pauses for a second.]

Eh, so many people here like wine...

[HE DOESN'T GET IT. Wine bad actually.]

[aubins]

[ that was the thing of beauty. the starter was beautiful and well thought out and definitely not rushed. ]

Not a fan?

[ siiiiiiiiiiiiiip. ]

w5 tues

[touchups]

[TO THE FIEEELDS.

Mahito is standing in front of one of the statues; a headless piece of carved marble that has been cleared somewhat of vines. His arms are crossed and he's frowning?? It's fine, probably.

Anyway, he'll take a break from doing whatever the fuck he's doing to nod toward Yuri in greeting! He's also got a blanket over his shoulders, fuck this chilly river.]

What do you think about these ones?

[These funky, funky rooms.]

[aubins]

[ what the fuck is he doing in these fields, these magical fields these [intense spoilery static noises] fields. ]

... Big. And full of nature once again.

It's definitely got to be an illusion, right?

[touchups]

[THESE [INTENSE SPOILERY STATIC NOISES] FIELDS.......

He nods at that, though, and gestures to the far rolling hills.]

It's kinda like the tea room. That's just a wall back there - you can't actually go any further.
