WEEKEND 0 - SATURDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ heyo. anders has changed back into his clothes from home, and now resembles a giant, bedraggled crow.

he will just be sort of ... wandering aimlessly outside, because he keeps stopping outside of the buildings and then clearly chickening out of going inside. it all feels deeply uncomfortable. he will especially stop in front of the church to look it over, frowning. cool cool cool no doubt. ]

[noirges]

[ ANDERS WHY IS THIS FIT SO SLAY?

matching obligatory fit check instead of sexy angel costume! though at least now i can mention that yves was probably covered in bandages beneath his angel costume earlier so it wasn't even that scandalous. if nothing else, it just shows that the lace half mask he was wearing wasn't just part of the costume - it's an outfit staple. yay!

yves has probably been going around in the background like an npc, finishing his self-assigned sidequests, though at some point he'll just... stop next to anders? new sidequest? ]

... shall we venture inside?

W0 - MONDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ happy week zero. anders can be found wandering around the new area, outside mostly - but he's wandered into the arcade and is ... getting very annoyed at the games as he presses random buttons and can’t quite figure out what it’s supposed to do. maybe he’s just mad he’s losing. ]

I think this thing is cursed ...

[noirges]

You got it, Anders! You can't give up like this. Thirteenth time's the charm!

[ he didn't ask for this cheering session ]

week 1 monday

[noirges]

[ THIS CAN ALSO BE TUESDAY IF YOUR LOVE ARROWS WEAR OFF IDK

well everyone's getting The Afternoon i'm sorry someone said that it's yves' holiday and it's true so we must all celebrate. he's carrying along a heart balloon and a bouquet of flowers, looking delighted when he sees anders!! ]

Anders! Look at this place, isn't it fun?

[ HE LOVES THIS HOLIDAY, OTOME FUCK THAT HE IS. he'll offer out the wholeass bouquet - full of hydrangeas ]

Would you like some flowers to share with Shadowheart? Please take it as a gift of my congratulations again.

[spiritbalm]

[ his love only lasted one sweet, sweet hour, and then he promptly got into a fight over another love arrow, got his feelings hurt and stomped off, and is now here. in the midst of the love holiday.

taking the flowers, a little forlornly. ]

We aren't-- Nevermind. I'll bring them.

week 1, friday

[noirges]

[ welcome to the cave

it currently looks like a field of pitch black lycoris flowers ]

[spiritbalm]

[ yeah it took him a while but eventually he figures a horrible cave is a good place to be sad. of course.

he'll wander in - he's doing his best not to crush flowers, but there's really only so much you can do when it's a whole field of them. ]

Yves?

week 1, saturday

[noirges]

[ hiiii we're going to the lighthouse. yves is coming and he has a little basket on his arm ]

Anders...? Can I sit with you?

[spiritbalm]

[ anders' face is bloody and bruised - he hasn't bothered to clean himself up, but he doesn't seem bothered by it. just watching the ocean. he won't turn to face him. ]

What else is there left to say?

W2 - MONDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ good morning were you enjoying your day. too bad. here comes anders, who for some reason looks a lil bit younger, significantly less wet, and much less feathery than usual. he's instead got a smart blue and silver uniform, and a less receeding hairline. miracles do happen. a miraculous twink death recovery. ]

Yves! How much do you love me? Is it a lot?

[noirges]

[ YOUNG ANDERS. THIS IS HOW IT ISN'T PROBLEMATIC

yves looks a little surprised but his response is immediate? ]

Of course? Have I given you reason to believe otherwise?

[ holds his hand out???? handholdy with the twink?? ]

W2 - FRIDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ good mornin' yves. unfortunately ander is back to more normal. old. wet. terrible. ]

It's difficult. Knowing that whoever did it is walking around, playing at innocence.

[noirges]

[ him love all anders

handholdy? ]

Mm... though they're probably not even in their right mind.

[ what are the odds of self-defense murders twice in a row ]

week 2, post-trial

[noirges]

[ okay he's easy to find. he's waiting outside the church looking thoughtful but also

like he's intentionally making himself easy to find in case people are worried. when he sees you approach he smiles a little sadly and waves ]

Hi. You okay? [ a beat ] Thanks for believing me.

[spiritbalm]

Stop bleeding all over the place! What's wrong with you?!

[ help ]

W3 - MONDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ welcome to memshare week. starters will simply be welcome to the funhouse. a memory plays out across the mirrors - strangely disjointed in parts, as anders stands stock still and watches.

he pauses for a moment, and then holds up a fist like he's thinking of simply ... shattering the glass. ]

[noirges]

[ ah.

yves recognizes these in bits and pieces, and he shudders when he sees the behavior that the tranquil mark results in. that act of removing a person's awareness. to be a puppet. it's... it's familiar in a way, that he wished could never truly happen. his heart aches for this unhappy ending, and he turns only to see that raised fist.

so he reaches out - slowly but surely - to gently cover anders's hand with his ]

... Anders. [ softly ] Careful. You could hurt yourself.

W3 - THURSDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ coming to find his ass and it better be on the hospital!!! ]

[noirges]

[ well

he's in the middle of his escape so how's that

freezes when he sees anders ]

W4 - MONDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ hi! anders can be found wander the Candy Castle, emotions somewhere between a simmering rage at the rich and frustration at definitely being super lost. where even is this. some sort of room for WAITING in? is that a swimming pool next door? ]

I never understood how the nobility stand it.

[noirges]

[ yves does have a little trace of unease as he wanders around in the castle, mostly in that sense of 'i'm just a lil gardener guy i have no idea what i'm doing here' kind of way. though there is still affection radiating off of him because he's just happy to be here with anders :) yay ]

Me neither. Who needs this many rooms just to sit in?

My partner was a noble before he left the life behind, and whenever we visited his parents' place, I just really realized the difference between us.

week 4, tuesday

[noirges]

Would you ever consider getting with Monsieur Richie, Anders?

[spiritbalm]

[ pfffft ]

I don’t think he likes men.

And he reminds me too much of Varric, honestly.

W4 - WEDNESDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ HE IS SOMEWHERE checking something reflective. contemplating if he has male pattern baldness ... ]

[noirges]

[ help me

yves will just wander over to him, only lightly tipsy today because he's gotta keep his WITS about him! but still in a good mood and radiating fond vibes. bumping lightly into anders's side ]

Still feeling anxious? You look good, Anders.

week 4, thursday

[noirges]

[ this is a thursday from hell

where he ]

[spiritbalm]

[ hopital ........

it takes him a while to fully wake up - he won't be completely unconscious for very long, but he's extremely dazed and out of it for a while - there's a lot going on here, but most obviously are the gaping wound on his chest - more like an animal tried to take a bite out of him - and some scattered gunshot wounds. his arm is also deeply fucked, though it's hard to tell if it's broken or not. he's covered in bruising once the blood has been cleaned off.

and then finally the sunburst brand on his forehead, though that looks nice and healed over. :)

oh and the emotions? deeply bad. just awful.

eventually he'll start moving around enough that it's clear he's awake, if groggy. ]

week 4, friday

[noirges]

[ yikes! yves is just exploring one of the areas where the bodies were found, vibes apprehensive. he's more serious today than any other day and bc i forgot to mention it in curfew the night before, he does have a sword at his side again finally yay

he looks up and waves ]

Anders! Are you okay to be up?

[spiritbalm]

[ he is definitely hobbling but he's making his way around. slowly. ]

I'm alright. I know my limits. [ does he? ] Justice will take over if I cannot.

W4 - SATURDAY

[spiritbalm]

[ well hobbling fastly to come and find him. where you at yvesy. ]

[noirges]

[ honestly

he's just having a drink at the bar today what a fucking day ]

week 5, monday

[noirges]

[ yves looks a little tired like he hasn't slept well but who gives a shit about that! not me! someone ate what he wasn't supposed to again and the tattoos are just around on neon green text around his body glowing through his clothes because he dresses like a nun more than lucas does

- murdered more than one friend
- left home country to ruin
- in love with too many people
- acts like a needy bottom when he's actually a switch

anyway none of that matters he is just approaching anders i hope nyanders is here ]

Anders, can I talk to you about something?

[spiritbalm]

[ the way that i was like why are you listing things about anders on yves body for a second here until i read the last one

anyway yes kitty can be here, he's just sorta bringing that cat everywhere like an emotional support animal. ]

Yes, of course.

week 7, monday

[noirges]

[ why are all the locations so bad!!!

yves is just wandering around with curiosity and saying his hello's. he offers a smile to literally everyone he comes across and right now is no exception ]

Anders, I missed you! That last letter had me so worried...

[spiritbalm]

[ he looks mildly embarrassed, shuffling at the back of his hair. ]

I -- really didn't mean to worry you. I think I get a bit dramatic at times ...

[ he is prone to that. ]

endgame

[noirges]

[ ok iT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!! YVES IS MAKING HIS ROUNDS TO SEE PEOPLE and he's bringing a gift with him. it's a paper flower again, but this time in the shape of a lycoris, just like the ones on his halo. it has both red and black petals, and it truly looks so hilariously goth from someone so sunshiney

but he'll offer it out anyway ]

Anders, will you accept a token from me?

[spiritbalm]

[ its over .............

taking the flower without hesitation, holding it over gently. ]

What do you think of it? Freedom?
