week zero, saturday.

[rewriter]

[Can't wait for someone to get clubbed to death with a bowling pin this weekend.

Anyway, Monika is examining the bowling balls coming out of the pinsetter dispenser thing when she notices Ylfa. Hi.]

Did you come here to play?

[honkinbigteeth]

I haven't ever played before.

[she'll examine the bowling balls.]

Do you know how?

week 0; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

[wherever monika is, ylfa will likely find her, because she's pacing around like she's still on the hunt for clues even though there are no clues to find.]

Monika! Good, you didn't fall out of a blimp!

[rewriter]

A— Excuse me?

[A BLIMP??? HELLO??????? She blinks.]

Did something happen with a blimp last night?

week 0; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[after trial, she can be found heading back to the warehouse district carrying some ikea meatballs. but she'll stop for monica when she sees her.]

How are you doing?

Re: week 0; saturday

[rewriter]

I'm okay. Just a little tired after nine hours, to be honest...

[please tell her ylfa did not pay for the meatballs.]

Are you okay, Ylfa? You did a lot tonight.

week one, wednesday.

[rewriter]

[a while after the mini event:]

thank you SO much for your help today, ylfa!!! you totally saved our lives. 🥺🙏💕

[honkinbigteeth]

no problem i didnt realize you guys were being tear gassed because i dont know what that is i just thought you were napping

did you have fun despite the gas?

week 1; saturday

[honkinbigteeth]

[well, it's after trial. she can be found out at the canals, giving off the impression of someone who hasn't slept in about seventy two hours. a little wired, like a wild animal that's hit the point of exhaustion but isn't safe yet.]

[rewriter]

[oh, no. sweet furry child... monika approaches, looking at her in concern.]

... Ylfa, you look tired.

week 2; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[ylfa is standing outside smexy salon and puppy play, looking at both. i assume smexy salon has some of those like old photos of various beautiful women in fancy hairdos and full 50s makeups. and then puppy play has puppies.

she's just looking back and forth, giving off the feeling of indecision...

she's wearing her red cloak but it's been washed and the dress she is wearing underneath looks a little pink. she's a big cleaner than she's been for the past couple weeks, but her braids are still matted tangles; she hasn't taken them out or brushed them since she's arrived.]

[rewriter]

[ylfa, your braids... monika was on her way to check out the salon, but she stops when she notices ylfa's little dilemma. her vibes are mostly that she's happy to see her and a little bit amused, with some vague sense of numbness and cynicism in the background.]

... You could check out both, you know?

week two, friday.

[rewriter]

[LORD... WHAT A FRIDAY... they were both at the library and then at the diner, so maybe they're just walking out of there together, too.]

... Poor Team BDSM.

[honkinbigteeth]

[it's very rough. she's very sad.]

Buzen was so nice. Rin was so nice. Hikari was nice. None of them were the type of person who would hurt someone just to get ahead.

week 2; sunday

[honkinbigteeth]

[the vibes are bad. she's mostly in her warehouse, but she's sitting outside it for a little while, so monika can find her or come upon her. emotionally, she feels a little in shock, but there's also a great amount of grief and guilt, too.]

[rewriter]

[haha! sunday is cancelled. monika is a walking emotional black hole when she comes across ylfa. the vibes are incredibly rancid.]

... Hey, Ylfa.

week three, wednesday.

[rewriter]

[slaps this down belatedly because i died yesterday

anyway!! this is after they've held hands and sang kumbaya my rat aka post mini event. they are now at the movie theater and monika is squinting at the stuart little poster.]

... I forgot this came out in 1999.

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's very sleepy, but she'll go sleep in a movie. she brought rattigan with her.]

Oh - Rattigan says he's kind of dreamy. Can we watch that?

week 3; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

hi monika
um
be nice to val ok
what we found at the selfie world upset her a lot
and i know lambda was your teammate too so

i dont know

[rewriter]

it's okay. she told me what you two found...
i'm so sorry you had to see that, ylfa.

week three, sunday.

[rewriter]

[how is it only week three. god.

monika can be found sitting on a park bench a few hours after the execution. she seems to be typing something on her phone — before she lets out a sharp sigh, massaging her temple, and leaves her thumb pressed over the backspace button.]

No... This isn't any good either.

[honkinbigteeth]

Monika?

[she sees her looking frustrated on the park bench, so she'll approach her.]

Hey, is everything okay?

week four, monday.

[rewriter]

[they are at (throws dart) hay burger. monika is staring blearily up at the menu.]

... I'm still not buying the special burger.

[honkinbigteeth]

You shouldn't! It costs more than a free burger, but it doesn't do anything good. The hot dogs only make you talk in rhyme.

week 4; friday

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's skipping along.]

Monika! Congrats on no one on your team dying.

[rewriter]

[... HELP. NOT THE SKIPPING.

monika stares, flabbergasted.]

I... Thanks?

week 5; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[ylfa can be found on monday down exploring the underground tunnels a bit. her ears are perked up, listening for the sounds of any creatures in the dark.]

[rewriter]

[well.

there are probably no horrifying slugs in this section



but ylfa's ears will pick up someone's startled shriek from further down the tunnels. this is fine.]

week five, saturday.

[rewriter]

[hi, ylfa. they are presumably somewhere in the void where they can be sad girls together.]

... You know, I didn't want to be right.

[honkinbigteeth]

I know.

[it fucking sucks here.]

I didn't want it to be Nahida, either. But you had to stand up for your teammate.

week 6; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[let's decorate fingerbreads. she's in the cookie shop, putting some icing on a fingerbread man to give him a shark sweater.]

[rewriter]

[CUTE... she peers over her shoulder, curious.]

Is he going to match with you and Haru?

week 6; thursday

[honkinbigteeth]

[coming to find monika sometime before she turns into a wolf.]

...Monika. I can't believe it happened again.

[rewriter]

[SIZ I'M SO STRESSED WHAT HAPPENED TO YLFA!!!

monika, blissfully unaware that ylfa would soon run off into the woods:]

... To be honest, I can. I was wondering if it was about to be my turn next after Kaveh and Setsu last week.

week six, saturday.

[rewriter]

[WHAT A TRIAL.......... they are in the void now, where monika is looking at her in concern.]

How are you feeling, Ylfa?

[honkinbigteeth]

Um… a little better. It’s starting to wear off, kind of.

Are you okay? Did Haru tell you something during trial?

week 7; monday

[honkinbigteeth]

[...welp.]

hey monika do you think we need to be worried about this...

[rewriter]

honestly, i'm trying to figure that out myself. you've read the message we got from last week's special mission, right?

week 7; wednesday again? no problem

[honkinbigteeth]

[ylfa is hanging around near the subway station, a little nervous, carrying her bucket of frogs.]

Does it feel like we actually did anything...?

[rewriter]

[i love you frog bucket.

monika looks just as nervous, glancing at the subway station every now and then like she's afraid it's going to blow up again.]

Not really. We still haven't dealt with the source of the problem. Do you think Kiichi and Aika will be okay?
