[laudna can be found a little later at the haunted house, a ballgown-looking dress spread out on one of the beds as she starts to examine it for rips and wrinkles. also, there's a leech still stuck on her neck and arm and she doesn't seem to have noticed.]
Tch, tch, tch. A little grimy, isn't it?

[ yuffie is out running around all the locations fastly with her giant shuriken in her hand. she means business! and is obviously looking around for someone. who she is looking for is made even more obvious by the fact that she's holding one of aventurine's rich boy bracelets ]
You stupid asshole, I'm not a kid--!
[ she hasn't noticed laudna yet too busy being angrysad ]

[ i remember the simpler times..... before we all forgot about the "this puppy" rule due to neverending trauma ]
[ in any case, yuffie has already experienced some of these, so it doesn't startle her as badly as the first time it happens. she's quiet as it plays out. in fact, she shows remarkable restraint in not yelling at delilah the second her voice echoes in laudna's head, because yuffie already hated the idea of her. let alone actually hearing her talk -- the way she's obviously manipulating laudna. it reminds her very vividly of scarlet, which just confirms yuffie's gut feeling that delilah is the worst and laudna should never work with her. ]
[ in fact, the second delilah ends the sentence with 'if you're smart enough', yuffie does indeed mutter bitch under her breath. ]
[ seeing the rest of laudna's party centers her, takes her away from all that -- they're speaking sense, and they almost seem to be getting through to laudna. almost. especially imogen, a woman that yuffie has heard laudna speak about before. and frankly? a real babe. she would have said as much, if the memory hadn't ended the way it did. ]
[ but yuffie wrests with her feelings here, as much as she wants to run her mouth. opens her mouth. closes it. wants to tell her to tell delilah to go to hell and chase after imogen. really wants to. but this is about laudna. so, the first things out of her mouth: ]
You haven't heard her since last week, right?

[ just at the haunted house until it's go time!! she is sitting on the formerly leeched couch, blanketed up so very little of her is visible. she is also hands shaky mom's spaghetti but her head snaps up when she learns laudna talk. she has a BADASS SCAR down her left eye, but both eyes are functioning ]
You're okay?
[ panik and worry!! ]

[she's just tired. it's been a long week, as it has been for yuffie. she feels grief, but it's turned into something cold and stubborn. it's over, and what happened has happened, and she needs to live with it and be okay with it, and she will be.]
I think so. I know not everyone will understand, but I feel that we did right by her.

[let's go to the waffle house and get served waffles by dog puppets. laudna seems to have adjusted somewhat, gone back to her normal self, even though she's still a little uncomfortable and worried around yuffie.]
...How are you feeling, Yuffie? Is it odd to be here?
...How are you feeling, Yuffie? Is it odd to be here?
[ yuffie keeps looking at these dog puppets in a mix between curiosity and unease..... where do they come from. yuffie has no issue hanging out with laudna, on the other hand, though she's playing with her food more than eating it ]
[ she also drew a syrup shuriken on laudna's waffles, for the record ]
It's really weird. Like everyone here has-- I dunno, a whole life away from us. Don't you think?
[ the living couldn't ever see the dead. and the dead didn't have the same week structure the living did ]
