[ hello aoi is standing in front of the vending machine staring vacantly. as. she tends to do. okay.

but she looks over at mahito! ]

Want a rematch?

[touchups]

[IT'S THAT WEIRD VIDEO GAME LASS!! Mahito cheerily bounds over, raising a hand in greeting.]

A rematch? [Give him a second, his tiny memory...] --Ooh! You mean with the food game? Haha, sure, if you thought it was fun. Let's play with some different rules this time, though!

[gamerbrain]

[ wow that's. the most enthusiastic anyone has ever greeted her?? ]

Boop boop... Different rules?

Week 0: Friday

[gamerbrain]

[ wow i just realized i didn't put a header for their last pc thread. okay. anyway. aoi is staring at the vending machine. why did you choose this location again. this is the only thing she does in this room.

but she looks over when she notices mahito! ]

The foreshadowing was there, but Aoi still didn't expect the game to be this genre.

[touchups]

[i didnt even notice.. my brain.. im in tears....

ALSO STOP I JUST DEFAULT TO KITCHEN IM LOSING MY MIND. It's fine he can lead her out of here sooner or later... For now, though, he just cants his head to the side curiously and goes to punch in an order.]

What would it be? Horror? Mystery? Mystery horror sci-fi? It's getting kind of messy...

[gamerbrain]

Don't know which, yet... But it subverted the indulgent setting...

Or else this is a Bad End, but Aoi thinks the the story hasn't been going long enough for that to be it. It's too early, even as an easter-egg Bad End.

[THEY CAN FINALLY BE IN NOT THE KITCHEN FOR ONCE!! Instead, he's just sprawled out on a couch in the common room, enjoying being FREED from CONFERENCE ROOM HELL. No wonder office workers are so miserable all the time, hot damn, he would be too...

In any case, he'll wave whenever he spots Aoi.]

Might change my vote. I think it probably leans a little closer to tragedy than horror, like this.

[gamerbrain]

[ i'm sorry that she's like this but when she's waved over, aoi comes to snuggle up to him on the couch! no permission needed! it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine. ]

... Aoi is starting to think they're not that different after all.

[touchups]

[UNFUCKINFORTUNATELY Mahito does not seem at all bothered by this. He will even reach out to pat her head again... Dos headpats in a week, wow.]

Oh? You think so? [Curiously!] Did this whole thing change your perspective?

week 1: friday

[gamerbrain]

[ he said she could come find him so she. has come to find him. wherever he's at.

but then she just is standing there next to him without saying anything? this is fine. ]

[touchups]

[Suddenly Aoi.........

WELL. He does enjoy Aoi's weird existence in general, at least?! There's a little look of surprise when he notices her just vibin there, but he'll raise a hand to pat her head soon after.]

You good?

Week 2: Saturday

[gamerbrain]

[ instead of RNG i'm just not specifying a location wow ]

Is everyone voting for... Fun? Aoi doesn't get it...

[touchups]

[this is so funny FINE I'LL PUT THEM IN THE REC ROOM so Mahito can vibe on a bean bag.]

Because they don't want the killers swaying the vote, probably. There's no way to get everyone to abstain, yeah? So just one vote could send someone to die on Sunday.

Week 3: Saturday

[gamerbrain]

[ rng says it's airport time. where aoi is staring out the window and looking a little depressed. ]

... Catching people isn't satisfying.

[touchups]

[Mahito will just mosey over to join her then, so they can sit side by side, staring out the window. Only Aoi looks a little depressed, though. Mahito's just vibing. He seems to agree with the general sentiment though, humming.]

Yeah... Not really, huh? Could be worse, but could be waaay better.

[MOM HE HATES IT HERE

He's once again attempting to make it to the forest room so he can disappear into the foliage never to be seen again... But! He spots!! Aoi on the way there...!! Which means like one of his five billion compulsions kicks in and drives him in her direction. When he reaches her, he just. Claps his hands on her shoulders.]

Aoi! I have the most desperate urge to let the truth free from my heart and praise you once more for the experience of obtaining Limited Edition Edible Cookies—! If I hadn't gotten to experience that, I daresay my soul may have collapsed on the spot from nary a thing besides my own crushing disappointment! Truly, it was you who saved me!!

[HE SAYS THIS WITH SUCH EMOTION AND PASSION.]

[gamerbrain]

[ weh????

THIS IS A LOT TO TAKE IN? also why does aoi look vaguely like she's going to cry from that?! ]

Aoi thinks you're overreacting...!

w4, saturday

[gamerbrain]

[ rng says tea room so aoi is in the tea room i guess. just kind of. fiddling with her hands. she has a plate with some cake but doesn't seem too interested in actually eating it. ]

... Aoi would have rather made bracelets...

[touchups]

[Aoi is such a mood, honestly, he would have too. He'll slide over to sit nearby, though he also doesn't grab for anything.]

Yeah, same. Maybe we should bring stuff next time and make some good luck charms.

w5, wednesday

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi is just having a nice sit down on a bench in the biome garden when she spots mahito!

she waves!

then puts down her hand. then lifts it up and waves again! ]

[touchups]

[Mahito just... cants his head to the side curiously. Game? Is this a game?? He'll copy her motions, waving twice.]

Hi! [AND OVER HE TROTS so he can take a seat next to her.] Whatcha doing?

[touchups]

[HEWWO???? Mahito's sticking his head into the medbay sooner or later, after having caught wind of the mess everyone came back in. AS USUAL. SASUGA THURSDAYS... He's aiming for later actually, since he wants to make sure no one's still podding or like dying pre-podding before he comes in. God.]

--We really do need good luck charms after all.

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi is out of the pod after three hours or so, and is now just sitting up in one of the beds. ]

Oh! Aoi forgot...

[WEE THEY'RE ALL ALIVE AGAIN. KINDA-SORTA?! It's fine. Some people here still don't have heartbeats, but we don't worry about it!!

Mahito's probably eventually nabbed Aoi to get stuff together for partyin', in any case. The living are being such bummers about suddenly being confronted with all the hidden murder among them? And also all the revived serial killers?? God.]

You did super good when you got back, you know! Everyone was cheering you on.

[gamerbrain]

[ yay party-stuff-gathering! ]

Really? Aoi felt like no one was learning anything useful from Aoi...
