week 0, thursday

[callmemeg]

[ was sqx planning to explore the simulation room? too bad. it’s already in use! she’ll come into a beautiful grecian villa, bright and spacious and lavishly decorated. glancing over from where she’s lounging on a plush chaise, meg offers a lazy wave. ]

Looking for something?

[shiftingwinds]

[shi qingxuan smiles and waves back, then looks around at their surroundings. pretty...]

I was just out for a walk, but - wow, this place is really beautiful. Is it somewhere you've been before?

[callmemeg]

Nope.

[ she pops the p lmao. ]

Just wanted a peek into the life of a princess. I could have been one in another life, you know.

w1, wednesday

[shiftingwinds]

[any and all tuesday plans were unfortunately delayed due to sqx's extreme hangover, but now that she's feeling less wretched, it's time to find meg!]

Are you still willing to let me dress you up?

[callmemeg]

[ if it were anyone else she might have said they'd lost their chance after standing her up, but for sqx... ]

I did say any day.

[shiftingwinds]

[beaming, she offers meg her arm]

Shall we?

w2, monday

[shiftingwinds]

[where's meg at? shi qingxuan, who's feeling much better (aside from being a little bitter about the loss of the bar's rice wine), is out to explore the new locations and check up on some of the old ones - so, really, she could run into her anywhere.

but, almost immediately after finding her and making eye contact - everything goes dark around them. they're in a memory of some kind, and until a certain point that will be obvious once you read it in there, they're just shrouded in darkness and can only hear the voices, not see the people who are speaking.

oops!]

[callmemeg]

[ oh.

meg is quiet for a moment once the memory fades, soaking it all in. there's a lot she doesn't understand, of course - a pot? - but then she's giving shi qingxuan a thoughtful look. ]

Justice, was it...?

[ hmmm. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she makes a face]

Really! If he can call what I'm fighting for justice, then he should know well enough that his own actions are unjust! He's just the worst.

[GRUMBLES. #1 pei ming grudgewanker, right here.]

week 3, tuesday.

[callmemeg]

[ i had a galaxy brain moment and realized we could use the sim room for dressup SO HERE WE ARE, now with anything and everything they can imagine. meg is going to let sqx take point here, since she’s the one who likes doing this, but she is wearing her hair down! that's different. ]

So, what’s the plan for today, Sunshine?

[shiftingwinds]

[oh, HELL yes. alas, they won't be able to keep all of the accessories here, but they can at least take pictures of the finished results with their phones! selfies, selfies.

anyway, she smiles.]

I'd like to style your hair, if that's alright with you?

[callmemeg]

Have at it. [ she gives her hair a little flip! ] I don’t do much other than comb it and pull it up usually. I’d like to see what you’ll come up with.

week 3, friday.

[callmemeg]

[ her comfort god...! wherever she is, meg is here too, and she’s just flopping on the nearest comfortable service with a sigh. ]

Do you think Envy will be okay after this?

[shiftingwinds]

I hope so.

[she seems. really worried. also they're just chilling on some beanbags in the common room according to rng.]

...if they're continuing to switch off the way they have been, we should be able to see them during the trial tomorrow, to check.

[callmemeg]

...Do you really think he'd tell us if he weren't okay right in the middle of trial, where everyone can see and hear? I know I wouldn't.

w5, monday

[shiftingwinds]

[what if they just live here now?

that's honestly what sqx is thinking as they look around the spa.]

See anything you'd like to try, Meg?

[callmemeg]

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ll definitely be skipping the “gratification” portion of today.

[ she doesn’t know what exactly what it means, but like. she can guess, and honestly? Gross? so meg continues onto the side of the room to the cosmetics table - not the clown cosmetics, the regular ones - and picks up a small bottle of nail polish. it is a nice teal. ]

What do you figure this is for?

w5, thursday.

[callmemeg]

Hey, Sunshine, how about we try the curfew thing again? Me, you, Ming yi, and the spa. What do you say?

[shiftingwinds]

[there's a seen at message, but it registers as having been seen 15 minutes before meg sent the message]

week 5, saturday.

[callmemeg]

[ what a trial amirite!!!! it's time for depression snacks, but meg stops when she spots sqx here. ]

Shouldn't you have found your way back to the pods by now?

[ why are you still hobbling around!! ]

[shiftingwinds]

I haven't eaten in nine hours. No way am I going into one of those things without a proper meal.

[also today sucked.]

week 6, monday.

[callmemeg]

[ i guess they went back to sqx’s room after the meeting?! and meg just stretches herself languidly on the bed, radiating relief. those town halls are nothing but stress! ]

Ugh. It’d be nice if we had a little more guidance on this whole indulgence quota nonsense. Or at least if we had a more enticing way to meet it in the first place.

[ ...she is maybe still feeling a little sullen about it. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[is it naptime? yea probably.

anyway, she flops down on the bed, giving off vibes of worry and frustration and general exhaustion.]

You can say that again! Indulge, indulge, or else the dead will be used as fuel - [she waves a hand] Talk about pressure! Of course we'll do it, but it's hard to enjoy things with this hanging over our heads!

week 7, monday

[callmemeg]

[ new locations, huh... this one is largely beyond meg’s comprehension - what the fuck is an internet - but she understands coffee! she brings a nice, steaming latte and a cup of tea for sqx over, and pokes idly at a keyboard. ]

Funny how you get used to all the fancy technology here, isn’t it? Think you'll miss it if we make it back home?

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... [she accepts the cup of tea with a smile and a soft "thank you"] I don't know that I'll miss all of it, but I will miss being able to try a bunch of new things from the vending machine.

...

Some of the games are pretty fun, too.
