[I am working tragically so I can't really be around BUT Kaveh is here!! Except he is doing is best to kind of awkwardly hover far enough away from everyone to spare them his emotions (spoilers they are bad emotions) while simultaneously lingering close enough to make sure everyone's okay :<
He's got Mehrak with him though!! It's floating with a neutral little '_' face. It doesn't talk but it will say "beep boop" and make a ^_^ face if you talk to it. Okay goodbye soots the CYOAers one more time and runs off]
[ he is going to try and give mehrak a high five. how that actually works i don’t know, but it probably involves patting the side of the inanimate object. ]
[she situates herself as close to kaveh as he will allow since she's used to his Emotions™ at this point and alternates between reading a book and peeking out at the others over the top of it.]
[This is okay and allowed; occasionally she'll probably pick up faint hints of guilt, since he knows what she's dealing with, but. He does at least try to push it away.
He doesn't have a book because he's fiddling with the map he's been drawing on Mehrak, but he does look over at hers.]
[Thank you it's going terribly I want to tag so bad "you are tagging" only for like five seconds listen
Anyway Mehrak is just here! Floating, hanging out. Vibing. It has no emotions, it is a toolbox. But occasionally she'll probably see Kaveh fiddling with a projection of lines and boxes! Wow.]
this is gonna sound so rude and i'm so gomen because i adore kaveh, but yuzuriha is just standing there debating whether or not she feels like biting him. maybe she should, just to be safe... ]
...What're you working on?
[ she greets him like a normal person, first, at least. ]
Also no that's fair and valid. Kaveh is not assuming anything about anyone one way or another, even when it's stupid of him to not assume. It's fine.
If she gets too close, she'll pick up on... well. The vibes are bad, fam, I'm sorry Yuzuriha. It's just a constant undercurrent of worry, sadness, and old guilt, with a sort of grim resignation on top given that it is Murder Night. He'll try to edge away at least once to spare her, but there's really only so much room here when half the game is in this library, help.]
I've been trying to maintain a map of this place. [The wholeass Game Realm, he means.] Mehrak's not fully functional, so I've had to draw it by hand.
and oof, she should've known he'd be emotional. not that it's a bad thing, she just has to like. very quickly steel up her own reaction to it. her emotions are a lot more calm in comparison—with the sense that there's some wariness underneath, given this is a thursday evening. ]
Still going at it, huh? [ she's impressed ]
You're mapping the interiors of the buildings as well...?
Of course. [But don't ask him to produce it to solve crimes because I'm very sure the mods don't have layouts drafted] This is a different image from the exterior map, but it wouldn't be a very thorough record if I only mapped outside.
[ not saying he looks like a SLOPPY BINCH or anything, just that she wouldn't have expected him to go this far in his efforts. maybe that's just the territory that comes with being an architect. ]
...Have you noticed anything strange about any of these places?
[ like... you know! her favorites! trap doors and secret passages– ]
[Kaveh clucks his tongue as though he's offended, though his vibes don't change so he obviously isn't.]
I have to be. What good would a design do if it fell down in a strong breeze? [For all that he talks about ~aesthetic~ he really is such a STEM nerd. God. But he sighs.] Nothing noteworthy, unfortunately. But at this point, I'm not surprised--if there is anything useful to us, I imagine it's out of our reach.
[Unless someone dies and becomes a reaper and jailbreaks them?? Which he doubts would work,,,]

What are you reading?

she adjusts a bit so he can see her book - it's about medicine and first aid.]

...although... we're not really able to get ahold of them on Fridays, so it may have to wait until later.
