w0, monday

[wtfox]

[here they are in class!!

coinflip has decided that they're taking the shakespeare class together. lila is no stranger to shakespeare's works - but this is, uh, new. so here they are, poring over the script to romeo and juliet.

(how is this one meant to be gay, she wonders.)

ABRAM: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
SAMPSON: (aside to GREGORY) Is the law of our side if I say “ay”?
GREGORY: (aside to SAMPSON) No.
SAMPSON: No, sir. I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir.

oh. she can kind of see it. she points.]

...gay?

[amain]

[ LILA WILL BE NIER'S GUIDE BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER READ SHAKESPEARE. Damn, this also makes her his gay guide.

Uhhhh. ]

It's supposed to be provocative, right?

[ ???? Like... Implying... Things. Aside from starting a fight. ]

[wtfox]

I... think so? It's like flipping someone off.

[a beat.]

Do you know what that means?

[amain]

[ He blinks because he's thinking about it, but then Lila puts him on the spot?

Confidently: ]

It's a bad thing.

[ yes ]

[wtfox]

[she


seems amused.]

It's like saying vaffanculo, but like, with a gesture. Which, now that I think about it, is pretty gay. [she taps at the passage.] So, gay. This class should be pretty easy.

w0, friday

[wtfox]

[sometimes you find a corpse!

lila is sitting in the common room, staring down into a cup of tea that byleth made her.]

...he was in here with us last night, so why...?

[amain]

[ SOMETIMES YOUR CORPSE IS FROM YOUR DORM. Nier also has some tea from Byleth. ]

... Do you know if he had any enemies?

[wtfox]

[she shakes her head]

I don't know. He seemed a little eccentric, but...

[amain]

[ Mm. ]

I wouldn't say so annoying he should die.

[ Same sentiment? ]

w0, sunday 2.0

[wtfox]

[lila is climbing up to the roof to stargaze angrily sadly depressingly!!!

but nier is already here. she pauses as she's hauling herself up, partially balanced over the edge.]

...Nier?

[amain]

[ Yup!! Nier is here, perched on a seat with one knee up and enjoying the summer dorm rooftop. His eyes were on the sky until Lila shows up.

He gives he a small smile. ]

Hey. Out here to see the stars?

[wtfox]

Yes.

[she hauls herself the rest of the way up to the roof and then looks up at the stars with a small sigh.]

Did you stargaze much, before all this?

[amain]

Not at all.

[ So he tends to do it a lot at night before returning to the dorm. ]

You can't see the stars where I lived.

w1, saturday

[amain]

[ HERE WE ARE, back in the dorm. Of course, Nier checks up on Lila. The trial... It did not go well. ]

Lila.

[wtfox]

[she's in her hammock in the common room, a pillow over her face. maybe she is attempting to smother herself with it.

she lowers it from her face after a moment, though.]

...Nier...

[amain]

[ Of course he comes over, but he can't just sit in her hammock. He pulls up a chair... ]

... We tried out best.

[ He thinks. ]

[wtfox]

Did we.

[did they really, nier.]

w6, sunday

[wtfox]

[this is set after her transformation has dropped because she's got more emotional range with her regular icons


anyway, she's in the cafeteria, helping herself to actual solid food. oof.]

The food here wasn't the best, but it seems downright luxurious compared to what was in the daycare...

[amain]

[ Wow, we are really here to feast. ]

... Baby food? [ He's so sorry. ] Eat as much as you want, Lila.

[ Because you're back. ]

[wtfox]

Applesauce and these weird puff things? Like, snacks. And they weren't even good snacks.

[she is getting all the italian food she can find in this cafeteria]

...it's really, really good to be back.

[amain]

... It is. The dorm has been.

[ Lonely. And Mabel always seems to be on the brink of breaking. I don't know if anything I did helped there. We all know Nier made things worse. ]

I actually learned how to cook some pasta while you were gone.

w7, saturday

[wtfox]

[presumably after nier has taken nona out back, in the void or maybe at summer dorm:]

Oh, hey - feeling any better...?

[amain]

[ They can be at summer dorm! We will be nice and say Nier cleaned up cause there was sure blood. ]

I think so, yeah. Not like I needed a lot in the first place.

[ A little stabby is good. ]

How are you feeling?

[wtfox]

Oh, good.

[let's be real she wouldn't have batted an eyelash at the blood]

Mm... better now that it seems like things are going to be dealt with? I'm sooo ready to get back to Paris.

[amain]

[ Lila and Nier seemingly nice but actually awful. ]

Paris is waiting for you. [ He laughs a bit. ] What are you going to use your wish on?
