w0, sunday 1.0

[wtfox]

[honestly this is probably while people are still texting the dorm heads and so on. lila has taken the opportunity to slip off to somewhere private, because... look! it's been like two and a half days! she shares a house and a room with a whole bunch of other people!

playing nice for this long without being able to even scowl is exhausting.

so, like, she viciously kicks a rock or something and sends it flying towards malik, who coincidentally happens to be walking by at this exact moment because i want a kelsey pc.]

[godcards]

[ ask and a kelsey pc ye shall receive

anyway! malik has had enough socializing to last him a lifetime, so he's taking a nice solo stroll while reading over the texts, because he likes to be nosy, when--! he's hit by a rock. rude. ]

Ow! What do you think you're--

[ he's angry until he sees its lila, and then he tries to put on his nice civil face again; but it's too late, his facade has cracked. ]

Oh, it's you.

1/2

[wtfox]

[oop! there's a voice. lila whirls on malik, a decidedly unpleasant look on her face.]

Oh, why don't you just watch where you're—?!

2/2

[wtfox]

[oh, wait, that's someone she had a good interaction with before. crap.

there's like a very brief - maybe half a second - look of panic on her face, before she tries to rearrange it into something apologetic.]

Oh no! I should have watched where I was, um, kicking!

w0, monday

[wtfox]

[well!

time to look at the task board. lila isn't altogether impressed. but first she checks to see who's nearby - and it's just malik. whew. she lets out a relieved breath, waves him over, and rolls her eyes while gesturing at their tasks.]

Are we, like, actually supposed to take this seriously?

[godcards]

I think so. You have to play the game to win, right?

[ He still has that light, genteel tone of his but he's not really into this either. ]

[wtfox]

Well, three of these answers suck, so. I already know what my answer is.

[a beat.]

Tell me how far you'd go to reach your goal, I guess.

w0, friday

[wtfox]

[lila is very upset! her good friend hiyori is dead! what a nightmare!

...which is to say, she looks upset as she picks at some of the food she's gotten from the cafeteria because she ~needs to keep up her strength~, but when she sees malik approaching, she just full-on takes a bite, because yeah, she hasn't actually lost her appetite at all.]

Sooo, it looks like despite what the dorm heads were saying, this is supposed to be a literal war after all.

[godcards]

I wonder who's winning, then.

[ He plops down, also glancing around to see if he needs to pretend to be a good supportive friend-- ok no he can go ahead and shittalk. ]

By chance were you also locked in your dorm last night?

[wtfox]

[if anyone walks by she'll turn on the crocodile tears and he can pretend to be a nice dude]

Yeah. Catra kept trying to break out, it was hilarious. But, I guess Hiyori was the one who managed to get out instead!

w0, saturday, post-trial

[godcards]

[ haha suckers malik actually can text ]

That was fun.

[wtfox]

careful, aren't you worried someone might check your phone next trial?
;p

[godcards]

Nobody wanted to check it during this trial... Fools.

[ HIS PHONE IS UNLOCKED???? ]

w1, monday

[wtfox]

[she's sipping at a moonbucks coffee and reading manga in the library when malik walks by.]

Oh, hey! What brings you here?

[nerd.]

[godcards]

[ He sideglances her, and almost doesn't stop. But he also doesn't want to start shit right now, so. He stops. ]

Books.

w1, tuesday night

[godcards]

Have you been cursed?

[wtfox]

w1, friday

[wtfox]

[a man is dead, lila.]

[godcards]

Right now?

I guess I can step out for a little bit.

w1, saturday

[godcards]

[wtfox]

no.

w6, sunday

[wtfox]

[anyway, once they're away from the gratuitous display of Emotion -

lila, sweetly:]

Did you like my letter?

[godcards]

[ HE SIGHS SO LOUDLY. ]

I thought it might have been you.

w7, saturday

[wtfox]

[text time!]

[godcards]
