[henwo. he hasn't run into her yet, just seen the profiles, so while there's a brief feeling of surprise, it's taken over by recognition (and maybe a little confusion. what is WITH hiring on kids for this...)]
gregor is chilling at the observation deck, looking out into space, his vibes mainly tired and resigned. it's a bit muted, like they're not exactly fresh, not unfamiliar.]
Ah... hey, kid.
[she gets a little nod whenever she arrives, with a noticeable emotional shift-- an attempt to force his own mood a little lighter.]
[ Anise can be found exploring the new planet! She's on the outskirts of the city, looking out over the red cliffs and beyond. I'll say that she was smart enough to put on a coat for this and maybe I'll find a cute image later or something. ]
[ sometime on friday, after the notices have gone out, anise can be found in the observation lounge. she's standing by one of the large windows with a hand pressed against the glass. in her other arm, she holds Tokunaga tightly. ]
I can't see the planet anymore... I guess it's already far behind us.
[ her tone doesn't have its usual energy and cheer, but that's probably to be expected. ]
[ she's at the bar!! no. she's at the rec room, sitting at a table. she's making a little house of cards, or trying to. it's not very tall. Tokunaga is seated on the table, evidently to oversee the project.
it's a little hard to gauge her mood, but when she looks up, she gives him a little smile. ]
[ On Friday, Anise can be found at the food court, poking at a plate of stir-fried vegetables with a pair of chopsticks, seemingly spending more time pushing food around the plate than actually eating any of it.
The good news is, her hair is cute today! The bad news is, everything sucks! She seems a little out of it, and doesn't notice right away when someone comes near. ]
[ On Monday, Anise can be found trying out the new skating rink! And she's pretty good at it! It's not long before she's trying out tricks like skating backwards, jumping, even doing a spin in the air! The only thing she doesn't really have the hang of is braking!
... so it sucks for Gregor when he ends up in her path, and she just slams right into him. Hi. ]
it's set to a kind of vague setting, a grey, dim place that could be a lot of different empty rooms. semi-blank shadowed figures that could be a lot of different people, functional targets that he didn't go all the way with, leaving them faceless. gregor's busy dueling one of them, the others motionless at the moment, jacket slung over his shoulder and held there by his human arm while he uses the bug one to fight.
-it takes just a second, but once he notices someone else is here, he quickly winds down and lets that figure slump to the floor. he doesn't say anything immediately, though, taking a drag from his cigarette first.]
[ later in the evening, anise can be found sitting in the observation lounge, looking out a window. she looks tense, though the color seems to have returned to her face...
but when she sees that gregor is nearby, she looks over with a hopefully-convincing smile. ]
[he's here to check out the church... dressed in a tshirt for once because of the stifling heat. those rusty splotches show up here and there on him, staining through his clothes, visible on his arms.]
[ hi gregor! well, she came in wearing a blood-soaked spacesuit with some gross purple whatever stuck to her legs, but now she's cleaned up and had some time in a pod!
but she looks pretty out of it. it takes a few moments to realize she's being spoken to. ]
[ anise is outside the church! looking at it and frowning. she's in a cozy recovering-from-cyoa friday fit. there are bandages over her thigh, but that's the only visible injury.
he's not facing the barrier, right now, sitting turned away from it; the bug arm appears to be in better shape, now, but it is restrained behind his back.]
[ We've landed on the planet, and Anise is taking a look at this pink beach... ]
This would actually be really pretty if it wasn't for all the... you know.
[ Creepy shit!
But before Gregor can say anything in response, there's a void that opens up, throwing them into a memory (16:10 - 20:44)! (English captions can be toggled on Youtube. If the timing gets messed up, refresh and it should fix it!) ]

Oh- hey. Settling in here all right?
no subject
Yeah! I mean, everything is super weird, but I'm pretty good at adapting to weird stuff!

he sees her coming, and while he tries to catch her, there's a little more momentum than he realizes, so--
over they go, though he at least manages to cushion her fall.]

w4 tuesday (dropoff)
-a decorative pink bow sized for tokunaga
-a set of cute hair ties
-a pair of red fish-shaped enamel hairclips, decorated with blue and gold accents
and a note:]
Ended up lost in that mall for a while, so... we figured we'd do a little shopping. Rodya picked out the hair ties.
Let me know if you want to go exploring a bit later, yeah? I think we'd all best make use of a little vacation while we have it.
-Gregor
w4, friday
