anyway, here is shenhe, in IKEA! she is lost, but doing her best. her best means she's looking at clothes with a slight frown on her face. when she sees matsui, she looks at him with that slight frown.]
Do you think the temperature will change drastically? [is it gonna get cold. is she going to need a jacket in purgatory]
Also that's a good question. She's talking to a sword who dresses head to toe and covers all parts of his body at all times even in the summer, though, so he is probably not the one to ask...]
...Perhaps? Though the city itself seems relatively familiar, I would say that expecting predictability would be a poor choice. Taking a jacket in the event of sudden inclement weather wouldn't be remiss.
[Good afternoon sweet Shenhe who Matsui absolutely thinks is a fellow spirit of some sort. He's currently resting under the tree THE SINGLE FUCKING TREE IN THE PARK... His eyes are closed and everything! He's at least not doing the vampire coffin pose this time, if only because he's leaning against the tree rather than being flat on the ground. Please hit him with a stop sign.]
[help the number of people who think she's a Creature is so funny
she won't hit him with her stop sign because she is not carrying it today! weird... but she sees him resting under the tree (her tree, as she has assigned it in her mind) and. well, if it was someone else she probably would pick them up and move them away.
but she likes matsui, so she sits down next to him, leans against the tree. and then leans against him. touch week!]
[What's up girl we've decided that trials are bad actually and do not want to participate in them until further notice.
Which is to say, wherever she's hanging today, he'll just make his way over to stand quietly with her. His vibe is about as melancholic as ever, which truly has nothing to do with the events of the day. He's just like that. He also won't force her to chat just yet since today was A LOT FOR HIM so he imagines it was a lot for her too.......
[yeah she had an awful time! but she's like him - she figures they both had a hard time with the amount of people around and the amount of chaos, so she's fine with just standing here quietly, breathing in and out. those homicidal tendencies are crawling all up and down her spine.
but his company doesn't hurt. it makes it a little easier to ease up, even.
Matsui the Catholic is just staring at this, not entirely sure how to interpret it. He's Catholic but only in a paperthin way... It doesn't include knowledge of terrible renditions of Mother Mary.]
...A saint? That's usually the sort of thing they put in the stained glass, at least.
[LOOKS AT THE MONDAY THREAD THAT I ABANDONED AND SWEATS
anyway, wherever matsui is, shenhe is trying to find him. the screaming is stuck in her head and it's making her anxious, which is a fun new emotion, so she's just. trying to figure out how to help.]
Matsui. [she says it before she's anywhere close to him, just in case.]
Anyway he's hanging out in the cathedral! At this point he's been partially healed and cleaned of blood, so his lightning scars are visible. Cool! He also looks in her direction but not directly at her face, so that's fun.]
--Shenhe?
[Said a little quietly. He's realized Buzen was alive the whole time, so he can put two and two together for the most part here BUT ALSO, GIRL HELP.]
[Hewwo Shenhe... Matsui's still in the cathedral! But this time, he's kneeling on one of the pew knee things (THEY'RE CALLED KNEELERS?????) near the front, close to the altar. His eyes are closed and his hands are clasped together. Seems like he's in prayer?]
[HEWWO... BACK AT THE CHURCH. Rather than kneeling on a pew kneeler today, Matsui is standing at the foot of the altar. His hands are folded together as if in prayer, but he's just kind of staring-- up. In the general direction of where the stained glass directly over the altar probably is.
He seems to be deeply in thought, because he doesn't react when he hears anyone else approach.]
[Matsui isn't in the cathedral for once! Truly a miracle since he's fucking been there for the last like 3 days straight. It's fine though he's still catholic guilting by collecting flowers for funerary arrangements. Where's Shenhe... is she going HAM. He can finally see(ish) so he can Witness.
Watch her just be passed out under a tree or something.]
anyway i wish she was going ham but that was friday. today she is manstanding in her own version of catholic guilt in the middle of the park just staring up at the sky. her hair is braided and it's braided badly, but whatever, she refuses to redo it.
when she sees matsui, she pauses, and then moves to hand him a flower she picks on the way there. here.]
[if matsui is in the library at any point today, he'll find shenhe standing in there holding a book. she's just looking at the front of it - if he gets closer, he can see the title is The Divine Damsel of Devastation. it looks to be like it's an adaptation, or a translation, of an opera.
she's focused on the book, but he'll feel - a very, very muted sense of sadness. it's very faint.]
This is so funny though. Shenhe's out here with her tiny sadness and then Matsui rolls in like a haunting. Truly he is just a fog coming in from the sea since his general baseline emotion is just a cloud of melancholic gloom, with an undercurrent of Catholic guilt.
There's also some curiosity, though! And a sparkle of good vibes because he likes Shenhe.]
[WELL later in the night she's done setting trees on fire so he can find her just sitting outside in front of a tree that is ashes.
the vibes are rancid, but in that hungover sort of way, like she drank forty emotional cocktails and then promptly died. probably not as rancid as matsui's though help me]
[GIVE ME UR MEMSSS here's my menu!! down to trade multiple mems since we can just beat a small group of people up for 7 days
Anyway Matsui is here! He's still in the maid outfit... Did he just steal this from the cafe. It's fine don't worry about it. He'll approach Shenhe whenever he spots her!]
Have you been to the park yet? If not, we should go together.
[He thinks she'd like the constant rain of sakura...]
[every time someone lets me pick the memshare i'm like UHHHHHHHHHH idk give me one of the ones where it's struggling with humanity and also give me the cyoa one eventually because i think that's funny
she is now dressed in something a little less stupid than her hawaiian shirt, and does not seem to mind that he's in the maid uniform. it looks good on him? and if he's comfortable that's what matters? it's fine.]
I would like to go, yes. [he's gonna show her this and it's all she's going to do for the next eternity] Especially with you.
[let's gooooo except there's a pig, so like. oink.]
[FOUR DEAD PEOPLE GIRL HELP...Matsui is going to track down Shenhe at some point after ALL OF THESE BODIES...
Except the funny thing is he honestly wasn't all that close to any of these people even though there are FOUR OF THEM, so his mood is just kind of its usual level of melancholy, compounded mostly by the fact that he's a bit SURPRISED TO SEE FOUR AT ALL. How is Shenhe doing out here, where is she...]
[okay well i said she was big mad and this time matsui can catch her in the act of destroying things! she's - trying to keep it contained to one area but there is probably a panties vending machine that has tragically lost its life to a blast of fire.
she really wants to fight something real, her bindings off and her hair wild. she knows he'll be okay, she knows fei du will be fine here, but... it's complicated. he still went through this, and he still had someone kill him, and he still felt pain, and that upsets her.
[SOMETIME LATER IN THE EVENING probably closer to night, Matsui will go look for Shenhe. He knows she's probably out there beating Rang up for fun and sport and he can't help her in exercising her violent anger, but he still wants to check on her. Where art thou...]
[later in the night she's just curled up by the cherry blossoms...
she probably has injuries but i'm leaving that vague because one i don't know them and two, i don't know if rang would heal her, so! she's just sitting, humming quietly to herself. she's a lot calmer now. tired, maybe. human emotions make her exhausted.]
In a bit, anyway. For now, Matsui's just here, going to check on her after they're all done with their maiding and butlering like absolute maniacs in front of god, satan and all their newly dead.]
Shenhe. How are you faring...?
[HE DOESN'T KNOW SHE MURDERED GERARD but he will hold a hand out for her paw anyway.]
[Wow that all happened huh! WOW THAT ALL HAPPENED HUH!!!!! Matsui is going to look for Shenhe as soon as he's finished killing Rang (no) (unless?), which will probably take at least a little bit of time. He's not dragging his feet, though. HE HAS PEOPLE TO FIND, WHERE IS SHENHE.]
no. well, kind of! she's kind of just curled up in the middle of nowhere, holding her toy axe and staring into the middle distance. she is still absolutely covered in blood, i'm sorry, she has not bothered cleaning up. she doesn't even notice matsui coming up on her, she's just knees to chest, one around around her knees, the other white-knuckling her axe.]
[DO WE EVEN KNOW WHERE PEOPLE RESPAWN WHEN THEY DIE. HELP ME.
Matsui is going to go look for Shenhe hours after he wholeass murders her about her new fresh shiny trauma. If people respawn where they died he'd go back to that exact spot at around the time he expects her to return and just sit there and wait, but otherwise he's going to be going scouting again. WHERE ART THOU 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.]
she'll just respawn on a bench somewhere close to where she was, sleeping but for real this time, not a dirt nap. she's. still covered in blood. please, someone take her to get the blood off of her, she is so gross. at least she looks peaceful, curled up here with her stupid axe.]
she's sitting in the bookstore, absently reading old fairy tales. not homestuck, just something random, not really reading the words at all. at least she's stopped crying.
[BACK FROM THE VOID me and matsui both because he's been gone on and off for days but it's fine it's fine HE'S BACK NOW. AND MARRIED. MORE IMPORTANT THINGS AT HAND he approaches and his emotional vibes are the usual backdrop of melancholy, but the sort of gentle wave of warmth that comes alongside seeing someone you like. He'll raise a hand in greeting! Feeling very glad that they can all see each other normally!]
[HELP ARE WE me like i give you the memshare of paraiso and we both die
happy wedding also??????? I GUESS???
anyway. shenhe pulls herself up to stand, tilting her head. her own emotional vibe is actually pretty happy - it's wild, too. the last time emotionshare had been a thing she'd been muted, tucked away. but this time, she feels a little more like a normal person does, bright and - well, sometimes uncertain, like a constant guilt that she's feeling at all.
but regardless.] The greenhouse? No. I'd like to, though.
