[undread]

[haunted house crew. she's wandering around the house, looking at various little nooks and crannies. the dead rat with a bird skull and bony wings, pâté, is fluttering by her side.]

Imagine, with a few little touches, this will be so cozy. I never thought we'd have such a fine house to ourselves.

[also, she's wearing her gown, but she now has black ink on her skin matching the tree branch pattern on the lace of her skirt and bodice. occasionally words are visible on the branches. right now, you can make out I'm going to miss our cottage.]

[bookpapers]

[Lavi approaches her other side and takes a few seconds to stare wide-eyed at pâté, woah, and then at the pattern of branches across her skin.]

I didn't think your design skills would come in handy this fast.

[the only bare skin visible is on his face, every other part of him covered by his black and red coat and scarf and headband -- but it's fine, because the words "having a heart" are written right underneath his eye]

Guess that makes us the lucky ones.

week 0: friday

[bookpapers]

[haunted house roomies.... he'll head over as soon as he sees her]

Hey, Laudna. You okay? I didn't see you back at the house.

[undread]

[waving!]

Hello, Lavi. I took a morning stroll, and may have accidentally stumbled upon one of the dead.

week 0; saturday

[undread]

[well. laudna can be found after trial back at the haunted house. actually in less of a weird and manic mood than she was the night before. she seems more like she's not sure how to react.]

That went very differently than I anticipated. We're all in the same boat now, aren't we?

[bookpapers]

[Lavi is still in his full uniform, expression neutral as he enters the house.]

...If he can change that quickly, then the rest of us can too. Wonder if he even got a chance to resist.

week 1; monday

[undread]

[we can do affection week, but why not do it at the nihilism temple? laudna at least is here, poking inside.]

What a strange little cabin this is. I wonder what it's for?

[bookpapers]

[Lavi is following behind her, also poking around, though he hops on over when she pauses so he can stand next to her and Hover,]

Maybe it's a tomb Like the pyramids! [a beat] Except... dinkier.

week 1; friday

[bookpapers]

[Lavi is back at the house!! His expression is very tightly drawn, but he'll head over to Laudna as soon as he sees her, how is her vibe check]

...Hey. Did Pickles stay at the house last night?

[undread]

[she is a bit subdued. quiet, for her. it's hard to tell exactly what emotion that is, but there's something angry in her.]

Yes. He was in with us all night. Little that it matters.

week 1; sunday

[undread]

[where is lavi. after the execution laudna is just around i guess? doing a little embroidery.]

...Hello. Are you alright, after yesterday?

[bookpapers]

[he's probably hanging out back at the house... though he'll mosey nosily over next to laudna to see what she's embroidering,]

Feels like I got chewed up and spat out by a panda bear.

week 2; monday

[bookpapers]

[GETS SEIZED BY SHADOWS IG, and as they do, a memory unfolds.

"You observe history, but being who you are, have none to write about yourself."]

[undread]

[whoa... i see. she comes away from this looking curious, more than anything. she's relatively young by deathless standards, but after moving around aimlessly for 30 years she understands at least some of these feelings. she just wants to know more.]

...What are you, exactly? What is a Bookman?

week 2; thursday

[undread]

[she'll come find lavi later, once he's been swamped. where might she find him recuperating? haunted house?]

[bookpapers]

[he's in the haunted house!!! she will have probably noticed that he's been there the whole time since he got back.... not even leaving to be swamped.....

the bandages on his face and head and torso are still red, so more proof that he hasn't gone... though he perks up when he sees laudna,]

Hey. Have you seen the others yet?

week 2; saturday

[bookpapers]

[he will go and find her!!!! is she at the haunted house]

Laudna?

[undread]

[yeah she's at the haunted house. sitting and looking out the window like a ghost would.]

She did do it. She killed him.

week 3; monday

[undread]

[laudna can be found at one of the new locations on monday. let's say the tree? she's turning the blood spigot on and watching it go and then turning it off again.]

[bookpapers]

[Lavi watches Laudna fiddle with the spigot, and then comes closer so he can peer at the blood falling into the bucket.]

So, you think it's from the tree? Or from whoever's inside it?

week 3; friday

[undread]

[man. well. let's be back at the haunted house again.]

Only two this week, at least.

[but losing both tomi and marina is hard in different ways.]

[bookpapers]

[their haunted house without tomi... damn.]

...Yeah. [...] I'm worried about Daan.

week 4; friday

[bookpapers]

[after their haunted house meeting, Lavi will remain in the living room, shedding glitter. He rubs at his eye and then swears, pulling his hand back and blinking rapidly.]

Shit.

[This fucking glitter...]

[undread]

[going to give lavi a hug. it's the rule, after all. no choice.]

I knew it had to be one of you. Though to be honest, I didn't know if he'd play along with something like that.

week 4; sunday

[bookpapers]

[he is back at the house!!!! near their communal bottle of painkillers -- except the bottle is knocked over on the floor and Lavi is kneeling some distance away -- one hand on his forehead as he gasps,

Not -- now.]

[undread]

[ahhhh i see. rushing over to him to help him...]

Lavi?

week 5; monday

[undread]

[let's meet at the tea garden area? it's at least a relaxing area. laudna's feelings are a slightly nauseating mix of cheerfulness and fear.]

Good morning, Lavi.

[bookpapers]

[HER EMOTIONS... Lavi will head over to sit across from her. his own emotions are tired, on a muted backdrop of Sad, but interest and curiosity emanates from him -- and also fondness at seeing her,]

Hey! That was kinda fun, wasn't it?

[ALL THOSE CURSES...]

week 5; monday

[undread]

[sends you a late pc but after the house meeting.]

...What did you make of those letters?

[bookpapers]

Think we should listen to 'em. It's more information then we knew before.

...And I think I should have waited one more day before partnering up.

week 5 thursday

[bookpapers]

[help LAUDNA WELL Lavi is coming right over to see her after she gets seen to or swamped?]

-- Laudna!

[HOW IS SHE]

[undread]

[she has been swamped, i don't know what the effect is yet, but she's recovering somewhere. her emotions are a messy mix of sadness, fear, and resentment, but she cheers up and smiles when she sees lavi.]

Lavi. You came to see me.

week 5; friday

[bookpapers]

[puts this after their group pc maybe or before but whichever it is, Lavi will still head over to Laudna, his emotions are really not great, anger and guilt and shock all rolled into one, but concern shines first when he sees her]

How are you feeling?

[IS LAUDNA STILL CYOA-ED EFFECTED AND ALSO SWAMP EFFECTED? HOW BAD IS IT HERE SIZ]

[undread]

[she is still both and the really cursed thing is the cyoa effect is making her feel so happy right now.]

...I know it's not important. Not with what happened to Kate. But I won. Astarion can't take it from me.

week 5; saturday

[undread]

[well, after trial, she's back at the house. her emotions have settled into something cold, miserable but not guilty. maybe even relief.]

...Lavi. Do you have someone to partner with? I know of two unpartnered people, which you may already know, but I wanted to be sure.

[bookpapers]

[he will join her, there's some residual guilt -- it's been there since Kate died, but exhaustion's at the forefront -- though there's some nerves too.]

I haven't asked them yet, but I will tonight. ...I think you probably know who it is too.

week 6; monday

[bookpapers]

[puts them in the cathedral.... when the au memshare happens:

in this au, Laudna and Lavi are demon hunting siblings, brought up in the life by an absentee father who they're currently trying to find after a tragic incident involving their mother and a demon... Their names... Laudna and Lavi W*nchester... They're on yet another mission to unveil the sup*rnatural, a demonic force that stole their family shotgun and heirloom of a car.]

There's no way you can hide a 1967 Chevy Impala inside a cathedral.

[undread]

5.

[she says, and then realizes that lavi is her brother, so that was a very strange thing to say.

unless....?]

You'd think, but it must be somewhere.

week 6: friday

[bookpapers]

[he's going straight to the house and taking a cold shower in their creaky bathroom and after that he's gonna head out to try and find Laudna,]

Laudna?

[undread]

[she's probably near the house. just sort of in a daze. not crying, just sort of looking around like she's confused or lost, eyes wide, hair a little messy. she's holding pâté tightly.

she turns and looks at lavi and doesn't say anything.]

week 6; saturday

[undread]

[you can find laudna at the pyre after the discussion has died down, still a dark looming column inside her barrier, hard to make out aside from the lanky silhouette with wide shoulder-like wings folded across her back and glowing red eyes.]

Well. You wanted a chat?

[bookpapers]

[he will look at Laudna, taking in every detail, and then attempt a smile.]

...Can you tell Kanda that I'm sorry?

week 7; saturday

[undread]

[let's meet back at the haunted house, for old time's sake. even though it may be horrible and stinky in here now. i don't know.]

...I suppose it's over, then. We won.

[bookpapers]

[STOP lavi aired out the house and cleaned it after.... the emotional vibe here is RELIEF and EXHAUSTION but he won't let the latter stop him from pulling Laudna into a hug,]

We made it way too strong!! But we still did it!!
