[dormheads]

I'm here, Ichiro.
Are you alright? Are you unharmed?

[steelo]

I'm fine - we need a first aid kit, i got the vouchers for it
I
What the hell is going on?

week 1, wednesday

[dormheads]

Ichiro! Good day, I hope that you're well.
Of course - please give me the list of your questions and I'm here.
I wonder what you could be asking advice from me for, though...
Well, I'll do my best!

[steelo]

[ this icon makes me want to die every time ]

i'm doing good. it's good to hear from you! and see you
sorta. the mascot suits are cute. lol

anyway - I know you said we were supposed to use our vouchers, right?
So I figured maybe you'd have a suggestion
I wanna do something for Kainé.
she's been sleeping outside cause she doesn't want to be around all the people in the dorm - it's too many for her. it's starting to get cold, tho and she's gonna get sick.
sky's the limit with these vouchers, right? any ideas?

week 1, sunday

[azuta]

[



i'm going to be honest she's not even hesitating a second. ichiro will hear things crashing and breaking behind the dorm]

[steelo]

[ i submitted this and then immediately had to go to dinner im gomen

anyway yeah, he's returning from checking up on someone in another dorm when he hears the noise, so. ichiro rounds the corner with his hands in his pockets, keeping a distance in case plates are being thrown at 100mph but still peering around to see. are you wearing your safety goggles, vi. ]

week 2, monday

[azuta]

Oh, it's an honor!
You're selected by Principal Bear to be on Dean's List.
I saw that you made it this time Ichiro - congratulations!

[steelo]

Uh
Thanks, I guess
But what does it like... mean.

week 2, tuesday

[azuta]

Oh I love this!
I've been thinking about how I'll need to practice my poker face...

Are you looking forward to formal, Ichiro? Are you going to ask anyone?

[steelo]

Haha, same. Maybe I'll put poker face on there, give it a remix or two. lol

I'm excited to get out and perform again. feels like it's been too long - i'm gettin twitchy.
i didn't ask anybody cause i'm gonna be working, you know?
since its just me and yamato and maybe sakyou, we're gonna be busy.

what about you, vi-chan? besides our poultry plans lol are you excited?

week 3, monday

[azuta]

Luke's organizing something like that? Sounds exciting, I'd love to.
Maybe I'll learn something about anime.


How else can I help you, Ichiro?
Are we doing business over text or shall we do something fun?

[steelo]

Heh
Actually Beau and Caleb-san and Molly are, I think
beau told me about it yesterday. [ you ever just get adopted by a pile of dnds ]

But itll be fun - i think our whole dorm's gonna go. ill give you a primer if you want it, and lmk if there's anything you might be really into watching
genres, stuff like that. ive got pretty good recs
i think we're gonna hit an isekai or two for sure but otherwise its open season

and... a little bit of both! i wanna ask you some stuff but i think we should go have fun, too.
if that's cool with you. 👌
I wanted to ask you about the communication items.
i mean i dont have one but lucretia-san and i were talking abt it the other day and we were wondering
cause communication item - wouldnt that just be our phone? what makes it different??

week 3, wednesday

[azuta]

Excellent choice.
7 Vouchers Base Price, but since you're mine and I'm fond of you, 5 should be good.
I tried out a new recipe of hot chocolate bomb in the common room - would you care to join me?

[steelo]

[ hehe ]



you got it! i'll bring the vouchers on my way up

[ and, about five or six minutes later, ichiro appears!! he offers viola a grin, red cheeked from the cold but wearing a scarf this time, wow. ] Hey, Vi-chan. [ and produces five of his vouchers with a flourish! ] What's a hot chocolate bomb?

week 3, post-trial

[azuta]

Yes.
Do you drink at all?
Would you like to try today?
I'll supervise.

[steelo]

you know i usually don't but
gonna need your guidance in that too. kinda feels like i need one.
where to?

week 4, tuesday

[azuta]

I’d love to!
I’ll bring snacks for everyone too.

And we can have the item reinstated as well.
Thank you for thinking of it.

[steelo]

it was mostly beau thinking of it, i just kinda rounded it off
honestly, i'm just rly glad it helped.
hopefully it'll help again this week. i'll give you the vouchers when i get to see you.

how're you feeling? still iris, right? no weird headaches or breaking stuff on your hands or anything again?

week 4, thursday

[azuta]

Not today - why do you ask?

[steelo]

[ i need you to understand that he probably spends like five minutes trying to type this message. what do you even say.

Do you still wanna have a date -- no.

I know you probably didn't actually want to do that and that auction wasn't real but -- No.

i meant it no. delete, delete, delete. ]

Wanna grab breakfast?
maybe do somethin fun after?

week 4, sat

[darksubverted]

Do you need help carrying it to Fall Dorm? Are you at the cafeteria?

the title of that link was just kingdom hearts

[steelo]

yeah

[ :( ]

i made enough to feed everybody. figured i'd bring some to the other dorm heads, too but i cant really get to anybody but iris that easy


thanks

week 4, post-trial

[azuta]

Yes.
How may I be of service?

[steelo]

[

it's alpha week, still. iris actually gets a read notif? wow

but it's because he's coming upstairs, and there's a knock on the door. ]

week 5, tuesday

[azuta]

Oh - sure! I'm borrowing the "Bakery" kitchen.

[just out here making bread.............]

[steelo]

Cool. omw

[ and he will in fact make his way over! time for some bread baking - it's something to do with his hands, and ichiro likes to cook, so.

the door to the 'bakery' jingles open, and he ducks in, grabbing an apron if there's one around. ]

Hey, Iris. Smells good already.

week 5, wednesday

[azuta]

I'll be right back outside.

[and she'll head back to the party!! she ran out after annie and then. stayed away because she was probably freaking out pretty bad too. but it's fine, she's got two mugs in her hand when she returns, along with a blanket draped over her arm]

It's going to get cold the longer we're out - is everyone okay? It was so... busy when I left.

[ACT. CASUAL!]

[steelo]

[ act casual. very casual! super casual. he like - meets her halfway, a little surprised? he's actually out a little closer to the dorm. ]

Oh. [ oh. oh! ] Uh... yeah. It's kinda chaotic, but it's been really chaotic the whole time... I think Beau and Molly both fell asleep now, though.

[ .... ]

Did you wanna go back and join everyone else, or...? [ he figured that would be like, the last thing she wanted. god! god this is fine he probably fucked up super bad! again! aaaaa ]

week 5, post-trial

[azuta]

[this text back takes - a while? like. hours "a while".]

Of course.

[steelo]

[ yeah sometimes you just have huge plot revelations so its ok if it takes forever. he takes a little while to respond back after the second message comes in, even - maybe twenty, thirty minutes. but ]

... are you doing anything tonight?

week 5, sunday

[inaccordant]

RE:
Hey guys.
I made enough dinner for tonight for both spring and summer dorms - and you guys too
kinda seems like everybody could use some comfort food, right? it's a big batch of curry.
there's rice, too.
would you mind delivering it to them for me?

---

All right. Where do you want us to pick it up?

[steelo]

Cafeteria, if that works. I'd usually just bring it over but
I kinda only have use of one arm rn so....

week 5, sunday

[departea]

oh
thats kind of you
you didn't have to do this

[steelo]

I wanted to.
I think the best way I can rebel against all this shit is by doing nice things for people, you know?

Besides, cooking always helped me calm down when I was angry
So it's kind of a win/win.

week 5, monday

[azuta]

Oh, I'm doing fine.
It's hot outside!! I feel like I might start complaining too much about it, though....
How are you? You're not cursed anymore, are you?

[steelo]

sounds pretty winter. does it get hot in your fief?

and for bein cursed - nope. i think it's all gone, finally
made me really wanna find mandricardo and give him a hug www

week 6, wednesday

[azuta]

[unfortunate meetings!! here's iris, nursing a little bit of a headache, but she's just outside in the back of winter dorm, laying on one of the blankets and watching the clouds as the sky changes colors with the sun setting.

though the sound of footsteps approaching makes her sit up a little]

Oh - Ichiro...? Welcome home...

[steelo]

[ oh. well! actually this is a good time to be head empty?

by which i mean, he's coming back from getting a coke from the cafeteria, still just feeling off, but not... well. he's fine. it's whatever. as he's approaching winter, though, a girl calls his name? he glances over while he's digging out his student ID to get in. ]

Uh, hey. Thanks? [ Forgot how many students there technically are here... ]

week 6, post-trial

[azuta]

Garden.
Now

[steelo]

[ lmao well

here he comes!! he has like clearly been crying when he shows up, red faced and angry and keeping his distance. there's no time for pleasantries or really trying to beat around it like he normally would, so voice low and angry, ichiro just asks: ]

Who am I talking to?

week 6, post-whatever that was

[azuta]

[well!

she's just going to sit down next to ichiro at the moat. she's got a basket of things again, but for now she is just going to sit nearby and glance at him]

[steelo]

[ haha

well! the vibes are bad. he's just sitting, sort of curled in on himself, staring off into space, giving off the sort of stay-away-from-me vibes you might expect from a delinquent. he does notice when iris comes by, at least.

and after a long moment of quiet. ] Viola or Iris.

ENDGAME!!!!!

[azuta]

[i'm in tears - honestly ichiro doesn't have to go far?? after everything, when the final draft is decided on, iris is... tired. she's so tired. she can hardly feel her legs. so she's at the desk for a bit longer, just letting her chin rest in her hand as she watches everyone file out - expression fond as they go.

(and laughing a little at the vengeance council.)

when he walks up to her she'll smile - ]

Nice job today.

[steelo]

[ here he is! ichiro takes a bit once people have cleared out, checking on his various small angry teenagers before he makes his round back to the desk. he missed some of the fuss at the end, and once all this goofiness with d-rex starts is when he makes his way over, low key shaking out his wrist. ]

...Yeah? It was a group effort, I think. I'm just pretty good with a pen. [ there's a joke about being a rapper there. ] You wanna head back to the dorm while people're busy?
