Week 0, Friday

[silentscout]

[Now that invest is done it's time for the ROOFTOP CHASE!!!

Lalli is climbing up on that roof and following Dimitri, where did he go?]

[repress]

[ well, mercifully, there's only one more floor up above them! so it's pretty easy to find him on the roof, where he's sort of just standing and bristling. once he hears lalli clambering up after him, all he says is: ]

Go away.

[silentscout]

Not right now.

[He totally gets the need to be alone, and he'll leave soon. But he has Questions first.

He does keep a distance between himself and Dimitri tho, to give him space.]

Why were you asleep in there?

Week 1, Friday

[silentscout]

Did you get removed from your dorm again?

[repress]

[ this is so late maple i'm sorry ]

No.

[ ... ]

Why?

[ lalli are you sus of him or ]

Week 2, Thursday

[silentscout]

I know the others are taking care of your wounds, but is there anything else you need?

[Someone thinks he might as well help out even though Dimitri probably is already taken care of.]

[repress]

I am all right.

[ 'all right' ]

Why do you ask? [ that's... awfully nice of him. ]

w2; sunday

[repress]

[ dimitri is outside somewhere because surely standing out in the cold is good for his recovery. but he doesn't seem to mind the wintry chill, just looking out over the stars. ]

Is that you, Lalli?

[silentscout]

[Can he still climb to the rooftop? Because that would be fucking funny.]

Mmm.

[He should have expected Dimitri to hear him.

Lalli won't stay hidden, he'll step right over and sit down near Dimitri. Still giving him space, but close enough to chat. He'll look up at the stars too, since that seems to be what Dimitri is up to.]

The weight got heavier today.

[His weight? Dimitri's? Everyone's? Who knows.]

Week 3, Monday

[silentscout]

[They can't be roof buddies because of Dima's injuries, but they can still hang out! Maybe just in the neutral area between dorms.

Or well, they WOULD hang out. If being near each other didn't mean getting hit by a long memory (pages 126 to 145). Like. Actually long too. 3 weeks long, though it only actually happens in a moment.

Also ignore the presence of the blonde boy and the redheaded boy (the two following Lalli through most of those pages), they're not actually there in this memory. And everything Lalli is describing on the last two pages, Dimitri is actually seeing that, not just hearing Lalli describe it. It was interactive storytelling when this happened in the comic shhhh]

[repress]

[ It's disorienting how time passes in these memories, experiencing a swathe of Lalli's life in an instant like this. It fits, with the story he'd told him before. The regrets he must have carried for so long, now. It puts faces to names that he mentioned, and when Dimitri returns to reality, it takes him a moment to find his composure.

Quietly, hoarsely, ]

...So that was the end? [ of his village. ]

Week 3, Friday

[silentscout]

I was going to say we should meet on the roof again once you're better, but now I can't climb safely.

[They match!]

[repress]

[ matchies..... ]

You should be getting some rest before tomorrow regardless.

How are your injuries?

w3; saturday

[repress]

[ here's a text at stupid o'clock. ]

What do you make of today?

[silentscout]

Your friend killed two people, and I'm trying to think of the best way to tell her "please stop killing people."

[Hi Dimitri.]

Week 4, Friday

[silentscout]

Hey. Where are you?

[He figures if Dimitri wants to be alone, he'll tell Lalli to leave him alone or won't text him his location.]

[repress]

[ it does take a while to respond, not because he's specifically avoiding lalli but because he's not really checking his phone. ]

Orchard. [ he's just chilling in the trees. ]

w5; sunday

[repress]

[ dimitri is back in the orchard, though this time he's sitting at the base of one of the trees, enjoying the shade rather than clamboring up the branches. someday he'll be uninjured and able to be on roofs again.

he's reading a letter when he spots lalli, greeting him with a nod. ]

Please, feel free to sit with me a moment.

[silentscout]

[Orchard buddies!]

Okay, sure.

[Lalli's not in the best mood, but he's not doing terribly either. So he'll go sit with Dimitri.]

...how's Beau?

w6; friday

[repress]

[ time for the weekly alarmed text! ]

Are you safe?

[silentscout]

I'm not hurt but I can't figure out how to get down.

week 6, post-reunion

[silentscout]

It was your hair I found, wasn't it?

[repress]

[ hmm. ]

It was either from me or Luxanna.

[ surprise, blonde maf ]

I will admit I was not expecting you to withhold it as you did.

w7; saturday

[repress]

[ usually they start with texts, but today they're going up on a roof! for old time's sake. ]

Ah, Lalli. [ hello. ] Taking in the sights one last time?

[silentscout]

Mhmm. One more night of these stars.

[He has his own stars, back home, but this is Different.]

It looks different from the constellations back home.
