People care because they care about you.

[ she pops half a bun into her mouth. ]

Or they don't want to see anyone behave like that.

week 4, friday

[egodist]

[after body!!!! scien will give shouxue a few hours to herself but eventually wherever she is, he will stop by. he has brought a tray of the lotus baozi and will place it in front of her



he takes one, but just one]

[ravenry]

[






this actually shocks her out of her brooding and makes her stare at him stupidly for a few seconds. she grabs a baozi, as an automatic motion. ]

You didn't mysteriously go somewhere, too, did you?

[ and get an effect that made him nice? ]

[egodist]

When I went to the market for a snack, they gave me too many....

[but he did remember she liked them, so there's that at least]

[ravenry]

I will not let your extras go to waste.

[ she didn't think he'd expend any energy thinking about her. ]

[egodist]

I'd rather have no one care for or see me in general, though that's less in my control here.

[he truly is so antisocial]

[egodist]

[he nods, accepting this]

Any side effects since yesterday?

[since her return...]

[ravenry]

I understand.

[ she does understand on some level even if it's not for the his same reasons. ]

We have too limited spaces. Maybe we will gain a location that you can lock yourself in and everyone else out.

[ravenry]

[ she thinks about it... ]

None, that I can recall.

[ me, in tears i'll spoil it since it's saturday but her effect required animals, not humans or humanoids. i needed a rat. ]

[egodist]

That wouldn't be bad for a while...

[he misses his office]

But it would be inefficient. I don't need that much space, only solitude and people to have no expectations of our interactions.

[egodist]

[OUR RATS

HELP,

but scien nods]

And your return from death?

[she was scared. so he wants to make sure there weren't any complications in the slip into it]

[ravenry]

[ she isn't the type of person who shrugs, but she has a very shrugging feeling to what he just said. ]

Wouldn't people who talk to you for move than a minute come to that conclusion?

[ravenry]

It didn't seem any different from the others. I feel fine and can move fine.

[ she was scared, but she's good at accepting things eventually. ]

[egodist]

You would be surprised.

I try to be clear but people still expect more from me than they should.

[he's very straightforward..........]

[egodist]

[he nods]

Then that's all I needed to be sure of. I will leave you to your rumination.

[the way this is about to be such a short pc i hate it here]

[ravenry]

How odd. I find it easier to leave you alone.

[ she won't erase his terrible personality. ]

[ravenry]

Goodbye, Scien.

[ she doesn't mind being left alone at all. in tears.

give me another pc but it can't be today because she'd walk away from him today :face_holding_back_tears: ]

[egodist]

[ ? ]

But you still brought me food.

week 5, wednesday

[egodist]

[ok sometime after mini-event

scien will just go to approach her]

You. Are you done running from me? I have something for you.

[ravenry]

[ she makes a face at his question. ]

What is it?

[egodist]

[he'll just toss over a container to her - inside are a few pill capsules

his simple explanation:]

Painkillers.

[ravenry]

[ there's rust around her eyes, so it's not a clean catch. she doesn't fumble it, at least. ]

... Thank you. Is everyone else all right?

[egodist]

They should be. I just didn't want to hear anyone complaining if they got too used to the affections of last week and are suffering now.

[so it's just a precaution since sidon and dahut are so touchy friendly]

[ravenry]

Even if this week wasn't what it was, I don't think I could be as we were last week.

[ one week isn't enough to train her. ]

[egodist]

That makes one of you.

[scien shrugs. he knows some people got a little used to it]

Take them regardless. It's based on a drug I take myself for pain management, so it's effective without being harmful.
