week 0, sunday

[soba]

[ wow. murder.

that is to say, some time after nikki has been executed, toi is mostly wandering the halls in search for something to do. it's annoying when the usual things you'd do to take your mind off something isn't really an option here!!

so. hello zenitsu who is conveniently here. ]

[swordflash]

[ murder . . .

zenitsu is conveniently here, but not in a position to be engaging others. he stands at the foot of the stairway with one hand on the railing and an arm held up to his face as he sobs. sorry if toi wants to go upstairs. ]

[soba]

[ oh my fucking god

what does he even do with this. ]

Hey. Move.

[swordflash]

[ you monster, why is that a question?

zenitsu lifts his head and promptly steps aside, sniffling. ]

Sorry.

week 2, sunday

[soba]

[ here is toi. he's standing in front of the door to room 13. he's not knocking or anything, he's just... looking at the door... and then he turns to walk away.

and sees zenitsu. hm. ]

[swordflash]

[ meanwhile, zenitsu sees toi by the door to his room. ]

Are you looking for someone?

[soba]

Huh? Oh... no.

[ he says, in front of the door, ]

[swordflash]

You are, aren't you?

[ quit loitering by the door. that's weird. ]

Is it Anya? Because she's not here right now.

week 3, thursday

[soba]

[ so.

toi spent most of the time since coming back in his actual room, but he knows that he is going to have to talk to one person in particular.

so that's why he slowly hobbles himself over to zenitsu's and knocks. ]

[swordflash]

[ it must be toi, he thinks, because who else would bother coming here?

the door cracks open by an inch. zenitsu lifts his head enough to make out toi's chin before opening the door some more. while everyone else has been working hard, he's been crying himself hoarse and his eyes are incredibly puffy. ]

Anya isn't here.

[soba]

... I know.

[ it's said quietly.

since toi has changed clothes and the majority of his injuries aren't visible, the only thing zenitsu will really see is that there's now a bandage over his left eye. he's also walking with a limp (he really shouldn't be walking) but. that's noticeable right now. ]

[swordflash]

[ even with his head lowered, he can see the parts of the bandage that wrap around toi's face. but it takes a moment for his grieving mind to register what he's seeing.

before he fled the scene earlier, he saw the blood. there was so much of it. ]

Is your eye all right?

week 3, post-trial

[swordflash]

[ wow. duck gun.

some time after the trial, zenitsu retires to his room. after a long while of staring at the bed, he lies on it with his mended arm draped across his chest and stares at the ceiling next.

maybe toi will come by, he thinks. or maybe toi needs space after everything that happened, or he has friends with whom he can spend the night. zenitsu wouldn't know. (all he knows is that he's the only occupant of this room now. where's chuntaro gone, he wonders.)

either way, zenitsu finds himself going hungry later into the night. he decides to brave the mansion and head to the kitchen then. ]

[soba]

[ wow. duck gun.

but toi is on his way back to the second floor when he spots zenitsu walking by. he pauses, hesitating, before calling out to him. ]

... hey.

[swordflash]

[ not expecting to encounter anyone on the way, he starts at the call. but it's not a monster that greets him. ]

Toi!

[soba]

... why aren't you in your room?

week 4, friday

[soba]

[ well

fairly soon after the body announcement since they're together,, ]

Hey.

[ hey ]

[swordflash]

[ hey? ]

N-no way. Mr. Wright . . . Four?

[ his limbs tremble as he climbs onto his feet. as soon as he does, he pitches forward and falls to his knees. ]

Huh?

[soba]

... are you having trouble balancing?

[ toi does not help him up? he seems to be like

trying not to move, really ]

week 5, saturday

[soba]

[ toi waits for the ballroom to empty out before returning to it. when he reaches the cage, he'll tap against one of the bars lightly. ]

Yo.

[swordflash]

[ zenitsu stirs. disoriented at first, he slowly lifts his head and soon regains his bearings as he cranes his neck toward an unexpected visitor. ]

Toi . . . My stomach hurts.

[soba]

... that's what happens when you eat weird things.

[ he sighs, and then sits down. ]

week 6, friday

[soba]

[ well

if zenitsu is in his room, there will be a knock at his door. ]

[swordflash]

[ and there emerges zenitsu, who also looks as well as he can be. ]

Toi? You're all right!

[soba]

Uh huh. I didn't get hurt.

[ only deeply embarrassed in retrospect ]
