[ robin is doing her best to pry her box open and failing. she is at least leech free for now. ]

Do I need a tool....?

[ablazement]

[i'm glad for her lack of leeches

she sees this, and comes over to look.]

Oh - yeah, you gotta bleed on it. [confidently! she's wearing her default outfit, so presumably she has gotten into her own box.] I know that sounds insane, but I promise I'm not pulling your leg.

week 0, monday

[sonorant]

[ the word brother is visible where her glove gives way to bare skin near her elbow. ]

Ms. Karlach. Is the company you have in the mortuary agreeable to you?

[ablazement]

[oh we love sibling drama in this house

she glances over, with a little smile. she's got the word AVERNUS scrawled across her arm, which is thankfully incomprehensible to most people.]

Yeah, sure is. I like my little squadron, they're good people. What about you, starbird?

w0, FRIDAY 2

[ablazement]

[WELL!!!!!

when she sees robin, she comes up and gently rests a hand on her arm.]

Hey.

[sonorant]

[ she won't reject the touch. she offers a small smile, but she won't hide her concern or worry. ]

Hello, Ms. Karlach. How are you doing? I am sorry this is the news we had to wake up to.

w0, SATURDAY 2

[ablazement]

[are you looking for her or just running into her! this is important]

[sonorant]

[ looking!! ]

w1, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[how is it only week one

anyway, hello, she's on the beach today! she's a little less cheerful than normal, but it's not like it was yesterday, at least. she's standing with her feet in the waves, tail swaying back and forth. she's probably wearing a sundress, actually, i'm too lazy to go look for one just assume it's something nice and beachy.

when she sees robin, she waves with her not-bandaged hand.]

[sonorant]

[ how is it only week one!!!

that's cute. robin is worried about the hand, but if karlach looks in okay spirits, she won't fuss too much. she waves back with a smile and walks into the waves to be near. ]

It's nice, isn't it?

w1, FRIDAY

[ablazement]

[HEY EVERYTHING SUCKS FOREVER

anyway, you can find karlach on the beach. she's slamming something into a tree over and over and over again. it looks like a piece of furniture or something. it doesn't matter what it is she's just beating the shit out of a tree.]

[sonorant]

[ TODAY SUPER SUCKS.

it's not hard to follow the sound of something breaking. robin watches for a while, expression sad, before she calls out: ]

... When you're done, will you come to me?

w2, monday

[sonorant]

[ I WANT A MEMORY IN RETURN. I'M STATING THAT FIRST, but i'm still writing my memories up. you'll get it in the next tag.

robin is going to flag karlach down with a raised hand. ]

Good day, Ms. Karlach. [ is it? ] You don't have to answer this question if you don't wish to, but after last week, I wanted to see how people felt about the monster affinity partnership. Have you found your partner, and if you haven't, do you want to?

[ablazement]

[I'VE GOT ONE READY FOR LATER

karlach waves when she's flagged! robin will notice that she has... all her fingers! wow! karlach is not missing fingies any longer. but she'll wander over.]

Hey, starbird. [...] I haven't found mine, and... I haven't decided if I want to. It was a no before, but I can't say I'm not curious.

week 2, friday

[sonorant]

[ robin has her PR face on right now. she is not fine and she doesn't expect to fool anyone into thinking she's fine, but she can't falter right now. ]

... There were pews blocking a confessional booth in one of the side rooms.

[ if she starts with business, she can keep it together. ]

[ablazement]

[well, unfortunately, karlach can't even pretend today. she looks worn out. and it's very obvious that she's been crying - she's still crying, even, though subdued.

she's just sitting somewhere, but she looks up at robin.]

... Someone in there?

w2, saturday

[sonorant]

[ robin has retreated to some tree away all the main buildings. she's climbed up it, but karlach can probably see her because she's tall enough for it.

she's just leaning against the trunk. her wings cover her face. ]

[ablazement]

[peers up into the tree...

and then:]

Robin. [gently.] Hey. It's my turn to hold it.

week 3, monday

[sonorant]

[ robin is seated in the underground clearing, looking up at the canopy of lights that look like stars. an extra pair of wings emerges from her back. they're demonic.

when she sees karlach, she waves her over. ]

Come look at the stars with me.

[ they're not stars. ]

[ablazement]

[

what]

... Alright. [she's a little unnerved by the demon wings but she will in fact come over to robin and flop down with her. no hesitation it's alpha week.]

-- Not to be a dick, but is that normal?

w4, monday

[sonorant]

[ robin is trying out some of the amusement park food when she sees karlach. there's a second of hesitation before she holds out a bowl of raspberry chocolate chip ice cream. ]

Would you like to try some?

[ablazement]

Ooooh, what is that?

[she does not have any hesitation in coming over to see robin, funnily enough. she will come try.]

It's not a pastry, but it looks sweet. Might have to do.

week 4, saturday

[sonorant]

[ I'M SO ANGRY

is karlach barriered at the pyre? if she is or if she is anywhere else, robin is looking for her and approaching wherever she is.

is she awake again yet? ]

Karlach.

[ablazement]

[she is barriered! and she is awake, and angry.

she's still hulking, horns sharp, third eye open. she grins widely, but it's more like baring rows of sharp teeth. and as she sees robin, she growls, animalistic, and starts beating her fists against the bubble. like she did that night, like she did against bone and white fabric. the growls almost sound like laughter - hysterical, almost sobs.

her neck is sewn shut, probably.

there's not a lot in there, right this second. just the urge to fucking destroy.]

W6, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[it is a new day and she is in the ita ita paradise, looking amused by the whole crafting section. she's not sure she wants to make one of anybody, but hey.

when she sees robin, she just waves... and thinks about yesterday before letting robin come to her, if she wants.]

[sonorant]

[ a whole day is enough time for robin to process her emotions about murdering and dying and being executed after seeing a false image of her brother.

she comes over and looks at all the pins of people they know. ]

It can be cute if it's one of everyone instead of all of one person.

[ a friendship bag over an ita bag. ]

w6, SATURDAY

[ablazement]

[hewwo!

you can find her just beating the absolute shit out of a punching bag in the dojo. just with her fists. it has been a day and she has a lot of feelings about everything that happened, none of which are neat and tidy.]

[sonorant]

[ robin gets it, especially with how everything ended. she waits until it looks like karlach is taking some kind of pause before she calls out: ]

Karlach.

w7, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[hello sweet ara let me know if you want a mini cyoa or if you want just a regular pc i am fine with either!! i will set the scene next tag]

[sonorant]

[ hello, sweet flurry, i'd love a mini cyoa ]

w7, saturday

[sonorant]

[ they did it, yay! baby god dead! robin is at peace with this and feels it. at least for now, they'll be safe.

when she sees karlach after all this, she smiles and holds out her hand. ]

We did it. What happens next for you, Karlach?

[ablazement]

[reaches!! she will take that hand, actually, if that's what robin is going for.]

We did it. I mean, I knew we would, but holy shit. [amazing. a beat.] ... I guess I'm going home. I've got another god to kill, but I think this was good practice?
