W1 Wednesday

[commedia]

[This is sometime later after the accidental gamer video and yeah, someone sure looks like a grumpy cat! Douman is just sitting here in the common room at the bar - if they had cat ears, one would be flicking in irritation. Nya.]

[When Yuri enters, Douman glances over their shoulder, before heaving a sigh.]

...

[And yet, they don't say anything in greeting.]

[aubins]

[ ashi-nya douman.....



well. there's a face that looks like it'd rather be anywhere but here. yuri glances at him, and then at the bar, and then-- ]

You look like you need the strongest drink they've got.

[commedia]

[Douman frowns a little more, but they nod in reply, glancing at the alcohol.]

[Looks like they are attempting very hard to stick with the silent treatment, which, for a talkative man like them...]

[Easier said than done.]

[aubins]

[ douman he's


he's trying not to laugh. ]

Alright, are we playing charades?

[ he'll hop behind the bar, incessant dripping noises aside, and line up bottles of alcohol on the counter. from the strongest of whiskeys, to the finest of wines and finally some of those fun and fruity cocktail mixes; and then just lean his arms lightly on the top of them. take your pick, tired clown. ]

[commedia]

[Yeah, its time to play clown charades, binch! Douman looks a little more peeved, but just tired.]

[At the selection, they think for a moment, before tapping some of the cocktail mixes with a questioning look. They haven't tried these ones!]

[aubins]

[ i've honed these skills on ori, you can't phase me crystal. ]

Oh, these? They're mixed drinks, I think. Most of them are fruity.

[ he taps one bottle. ]

Do you like [ hang on let him remember the name of it... ] piña coladas?

[ and getting caught in the raaaiiiiinnnnnn ]

[commedia]

[JUST...SHRUGS AND LOOKS CONFUSED??]

[WHAT THE HELL ARE PINA COLADAS]

[aubins]

[ wordlessly he will just


get a glass. pour douman some drink, drop a lil' umbrella in the glass for flair, and then push it over to him. ]

[commedia]

[...]

[This drinks looks all fine and good, but...]

[Douman plucks the umbrella out of the drink and gestures to it, frowning, mouthing the word "UMBRELLA????"].

W2 POST EXECUTION

[commedia]

[Well, at least this time, the clown isn't spilling any tear. They're just comfortably kneeling at the table, gazing out at the scenery.]

[It's nice, quiet.]

[They turn, their bells jingling.]

Oh, hello, Yuri.

[aubins]

[ did he cry over the robot, hello? ]

[ thank you for the bell detail. yuri will just wave at him. ]

Hello. Taking a break?

[commedia]

[I MEANT TEA NOT TEARS. GOD]

Yes, indeed. Would you want some tea?

[aubins]

[ pour tea on the robot. ]

Sure. What kind are you having?

[commedia]

Jasmine. It's quite aromatic, I think. Very soothing.

[Here, have a cup!]

[aubins]

[ he will accept, and have a sip!


and then he'll look at douman over the rim of his cup. ]

Feeling better after yesterday?

[commedia]

Yes, I am. Thank you for asking. How are you, after all those events?

[Their tone is light, smooth. Yeah, it doesn't seem like they're too broken up about anything that just happened.]

[aubins]

I have a headache.

[ which, honestly? that's a mood, yuri. ]

Was yesterday the culmination of a lot of things, or just the big, obvious thing that happened in the trial? [ because you sure did slap a serial killer, douman. ]

W3 MONDAY

[commedia]

[Hey, Yuri!]

[This clown is just sleeping in the rec room...or at least they look like they're sleeping? They are certainly just chilling with a book on their chest.]

[It looks like its...a cookbook? Huh.]

[aubins]

[ hey jingleman! ]

[ ...


yuri will lean over to peer at the cookbook with no small amount of interest. the library is new and exciting still, and it's interesting to see what people take away from it. he might be leaning a little too close though, trying to read that cover. ]

[commedia]

...Mmm?

[It's a cookbook of...Japanese cuisine! And as Yuri draws near, Douman stirs, their eyes slightly opening.]

Mmmmmmmm? [They sound like a cat waking up from a cat nap.] Yuri?

[aubins]

[ ohhh. that looks interesting. he doesn't get much time to look at it before douman's stirring though. ]

Ah.

Sorry about that, didn't mean to wake you up.

[commedia]

[A sigh as they move to a seated position.]

...Ah. It's quite alright. I must have dozed off.

[aubins]

Midway through a cookbook, apparently.

[ he taps a finger on the cover. ] You trying to learn to cook, or just brushing up...?

[commedia]

[A nod.]

A bit of both? Ahh, I think I cooked things when I was alive as a human being, and I think its nice to revisit things to develop my skills.

[aubins]

[ and we pause




and we rewind. ]

When you were alive as a human being.

... And now you're....?
