weekend 0, saturday

[sengokus]

[it's been a weird day but some things don't change - one of those things is the fact that mineo is pretty intense about keeping up his training every single day. he's wandering into the gym and even climbing into the boxing ring out of curiosity]

Whoa! They even have one of these....!

[he's rummaging through the equipment when he hears someone else come in - and grins when he sees it's a dude because by default mineo doesn't like to fight women. he will choke on this respecting women juice]

Hey, man!

[toyska]

[I hope Endorsi gets to kick Mineo's ass

But here Childe is, wandering back to check out the gym again! Most of this equipment is new to him, but he's eager to explore it. Fucking jocks.

He smiles, though, waving a little in greeting!]

Hello! I don't believe we spoke yesterday. [A LOT HAPPENED. YESTERDAY. JUST A LOT.]

[sengokus]

[JOCKS!!!]

Oh - yeah, I don't think so. I'm Enomoto Mineo, nice to meet you.

[childe gets a normal greeting because he's not a cute girl. mineo will bow respectfully though before straightening easily]

You're - uh... Tartaglia-san? Childe-san...?

[toyska]

That's right. Whichever you prefer. [(jpn zhongli voice) Koushi-dono] It's a pleasure to meet you too.

[He doesn't bow back, but he does nod towards the equipment around.]

You seem somewhat familiar with things like this.

[sengokus]

Whichever...? Uh... okay.

[Childe-san works for him then - it's just quicker. But he'll lean against the ropes of the boxing ring from the inside, resting his weight on them.]

You mean the boxing ring - or the gym in general? I've never gotten to be in a ring before, but the rest of this is pretty standard exercise equipment! You're not familiar?

w1, friday

[toyska]

[HELLO MINEO time to regroup after they all disperse from the sweat swamp. Childe will actually seek Mineo out, because he like. Cares about dead people. lmao]

Have you spoken with Sheila or Law yet?

[sengokus]

[DISGUSTING SWEAT SWAMP but that's fair, mineo's probably looking around - somewhere. throws dart. rec room.]

Huh? No, not yet...

Is Sheila-san doing okay? Is her finger acting up again...?

[toyska]

[He waves a hand.]

Yes, she's alright. [Uh. Presumably.] We found--rather, we were prevented from finding something in the kitchen. I thought you might want to know.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he blinks]

Like - you couldn't at all? And just you three again?

[toyska]

Right. It seemed like the door was stuck, but no one else I've spoken to has had any trouble entering. [Can't believe Childe, Sheila and Law have to starve...]

week 2, thursday

[sengokus]

[yeah he's just

making sure he visits before curfew actually hits. this is completely unrelated but i will say that in a pc his eyes are a little red rimmed and he occasionally sniffs but please ignore it. now that he's changed out of a less bloody shirt from helping everybody over, he wanders into the med bay with his little bundle of med supplies wrapped in a cloth]

You get healed at all, Childe-san? Need anything?

[toyska]

[HELLO MINEO... for healing timing purposes this is before healing, and through the magic of PCs they are either away from everyone else or everyone else is just deaf. IT'S FINE.

More importantly, he smiles at Mineo, looking very tired. He will at least be sitting down!]

I will once it's closer to the time we're meant to sleep. [...Also no he will not ignore it?] Are you alright?

[sengokus]

Hm? Oh, yeah. I was just doing something before this...

[don't worry about it!!]

If you say so... Do you need anything else for your injuries until then? Painkillers?

[toyska]

[Were you watching The Notebook, Mineo

Actually, though, he sighs, leaning his head back.]

That would probably be a good idea, now that you mention it. [He intends to be asleep through the healing process, but still. He isn't totally impervious to pain.]

[sengokus]

[he nods]

At least to numb it a bit - that looks pretty bad... but hopefully you'll at least be able to keep it from getting infected in the pod.

[that's his hope!! he doesn't want to deal with cauterizing it. but at least as he goes through his stuff he'll pull out two painkiller pills and hand them to childe]

Can I ask what happened...?

week 3, friday

[sengokus]

[well it's another fucking week. mineo's just doing full rounds through the station so he'll run into childe eventually

and he'll manage a nod when he does]

Hey, Childe-san... Looking around? Or...

[looking for a distraction?]

[toyska]

[Childe's just wandering, hands in his pockets, with a thoughtful look on his face. He'll stop, though, nodding back at Mineo.]

It's easier to think when I'm moving. [He's not the sort to sit still.] How about you?

[sengokus]

Still trying to see what answers we can find, I guess.... I heard you were with Mahito-san last night?

Thanks - I know Endorsi and I sort of didn't give him much of an option if he wanted to stay in.

[toyska]

[Despite the solemn mood, amusement flashes over his face, and he shakes his head.]

It's fine. I doubt he's the sort to be seriously bothered by things like that. [(tiktok voice) Do you ever look at Mahito and wonder, what is going on inside their head] Did you two stay in your room?

[sengokus]

[he shakes his head]

No - if Endorsi stayed in the room, I'm sure Mahito-san would've been invited with her. She came out with me to the library instead. We were trying to find clues.

week 4, wednesday

[sengokus]

[wow there is so much happening. but mineo is probably just going to awkwardly watch white text someone and then molly check his phone only to not find a text before he just closes his eye and

wanders off to go get a drink (probably non-alcoholic but who can say)

in theory that is when he finds childe]

Oh - hey, Childe-san. Weird week, huh?

[toyska]

[Mineo can have a soda if he wants. Or tea. Whatever he likes, he is a good boy.

But Childe greets him with a little wave--presumably he's finished with Primrose and Shi Qingxuan by now, shoes and socks back on because he's not a fucking barefoot weirdo.]

Hello, Mineo. [Childe, for his part, has been having a GREAT week. The hilarity. (He does not say that.)] It's been a little more chaotic than I expected, I'll give you that. Are you handling it alright?

[He doesn't think?? Mineo's been having problems himself, but given how close to White and Takeru he seems to be, it's gotta be a weird fucking time.]

[sengokus]

[CHILDE YOUR FUCKING FEETISH BASKETS

anyway mineo is just going to look a little confused at the question]

People keep asking me this.... I mean, I'm a little mad that my friends' feelings are being toyed with, but I'm personally okay.

I'm a huge fan of love and all, but apparently this is fake so...

[someone had to tell him it was a curse. it's fine. he learned eventually]

[toyska]

[STOP HE HATED IT.

Also he's just. Going to take a convenient sip of tea because he can't think of a way to politely say "how in the hell did you think that was real"]

...Well, I can't say I know them terribly well. But I'm pretty sure they'll be alright on the other side of it.

[Maybe they can get White something to destroy in outrage once he's freed. An angry piñata.]

[sengokus]

[SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT LOVE TO BE REAL!!!!!!!!]

.... maybe.

[he doesn't look like he's as convinced, but he won't go into detail. instead he's just going to take a sip of his water before tilting his head]

I dunno. How would you feel, Childe-san? Is love important to you...?

[iris in the void, laughing]
