catch-all: nahri.

at this point not knowing what shitpost to add has become a shitpost in itself

week zero, wednesday.

[rewriter]

[It's post-mini event time! Monika is still trying to rub the tie dye stains off her hands when she spots Nahri. Hello? She politely smiles and waves at her.]

So, our first mission was... lively.

[ashmark]

[ nahri's hands probably still have paint all over them, but she somehow came out relatively unscathed otherwise. ]

It's a lively group of people. That's probably what they expected.

[rewriter]

[she almost cracks a joke about how they're way too lively for a room full of ghosts, but remembering how she ran away during the q&a......... she bites her tongue. help.]

Mhm... To be honest, I expected our first mission to be— meaner, I guess? But it was actually a lot of fun to watch everyone show off their creative side.

[ashmark]

[ sweet sensible monika ]

Guess they want us to forget that we're supposed to mad about being trapped here.

[rewriter]

Ahaha, maybe. Though I don't think management really cares either way.

w1, monday

[ashmark]

[ i'm government assigning them gift shop. the colosseum itself holds little interest to nahri. ]

These dresses don't look too bad.

[ th. the togas............ ]

[ashmark]

I'm just saying that it's easier to appease us than to let us get ideas about overthrowing them.

[ would that work? probably not, but she can dream. ]

[rewriter]

[help. monika truly rubbernecking like THE TOGAS?????]

... Are they similar to something people would wear in your world, Nahri?

[ashmark]

Somewhat. We have garments in this style, but not quite as... revealing...

[ she isn't a prude, it's more morbid fascination than anything. ]

[rewriter]

Really? I think that might be the case where I come from, too... technically. But this particular style is a little outdated by, like, at least two thousand years.

[rewriter]

Fair enough! Considering all the stuff they put us through, though... I think we'd overthrow them even if they moved us to a five star hotel right now. Too bad for them.

[ashmark]

It's pretty useful in the desert if you don't have all your skin showing.

[rewriter]

Oh, definitely. Fashion isn't as important as not dying of dehydration.

[ashmark]

Or the painful welts you can get from sunburn.

[rewriter]

[she shudders with a grimace.]

Oh, god, it's awful to just think about it.

w2, library

[ashmark]

[ girl time in the library :) nahri is very excited to be here ]

Is there anything in particular you're looking for? That you like to read?

[ that's for the clarification nahri but look. her brain can't keep up with her thoughts. ]

[ashmark]

[ nahri covers her mouth, but some stray giggle still escape. ]

Well, most people are smart enough to know better. I don't see it often.

[rewriter]

[library! monika's mood is the emotional equivalent of !!!!!!!, just buzzing with excitement.]

I don't suppose you've found any poetry collections yet, have you?

[rewriter]

I guess it would be mostly tourists or travelers who don't know how to protect themselves?

[ashmark]

[ SAME GIRL ]

Can't say that I've tried looking for any. If it's popular, it has to be here, right? There's so many books...

[ashmark]

[ she nods. ]

Then we scare them by saying they'll get eaten by djinn.

[rewriter]

Well, I hope so! I wonder if we can find books from our worlds, too... I'd love to see what's popular everywhere else.

[rewriter]

Ahaha, well, is it true?

[ashmark]

Well, sometimes, those people wander into the desert and we never see them again...

[ashmark]

...I don't know if the books I'm familiar with would be very helpful.
