Comments

week 1, monday

[usogi]

[hello majima-san. are you having a good day?

senri is not having a good day. though he does seem to perk up when he sees majima and plasters on a smile fairly easily because he is an actor at the end of the day.]

Oh - Majima-san! I was looking for you. Can I borrow you for something?

[haw]

[ hm. ]

Haw? Borrow me? Whaddaya mean?

[usogi]

Just some of your time and attention if that's okay - you can definitely say no if you're busy.

[senri got over his fear of this ex-yakuza pretty fuckin fast but he still doesn't dare be pushy]

week 1, friday

[haw]

[ hey thanks for making this super easy

sometime after the body announcement, catch majima lounging in a secluded corner of the parlor. he isn't drinking this time, but he's lighting another cigarette. rude, smoking indoors. ]

[usogi]

[ :'( majima-san.

it takes a while for senri to make it back to everyone else. he cleans up his face so it's a little less obvious that he's crying, even puts some cover-up on his face to hide the flushed color of his skin, but it doesn't do a whole lot for his red eyes.

still though, even it's hours later, he'll wander back and he knows that there's someone he ought to see.

he offers up a smile, not nearly as strong as his usual, but a smile nonetheless]

... didn't do anything too stupid, Majima-san. Still in one piece somehow.

week 1, saturday

[haw]

[ w1 isn't over and we already have three pcs? dana???

anyway hi senri here's a drunk majima in the game room. this is basically their unofficial meeting spot now. it has officially been decided. he looks like he's... napping, slumped over a table? boy, that doesn't look too comfortable. ]

[usogi]

[sometimes mistakes are made at a rapid pace, andie

anyway]

Majima-san...?

[senri is so distressed and he's looking around but there's like. no fucking pillows here? there's no way to make this better. so he wanders over to try to.... nudge him...]

Majima-san, do you need help getting to the hostel...?

[that said he is also afraid of scary yakuza reflexes so he's whispering like a baby]

week 2, idk late in the week. thursday?

[usogi]

[senri has been doing alright this week, all things considered. he's seen two people die in one week, which is more than he'd ever seen die in his life before. he was coping with things alright, and he continued on with a smile. when he's in the east wing and living in the suburbs, sometimes his expression falls into something unguarded as he looks around at the scenery.

people mowing their lawns, families greeting each other, and when he enters the house - he's been able to feel some of the same. their little family is mostly a joke, but....

it's thursday morning when senri is sneaking back inside the house, trying to be quiet, and he takes a second to press his back against the front door and take in everything around him. he breathes in, like he's trying to remember the moment, and then aims to quietly sneak into the kitchen for some cereal.

he hums a quiet want to himself,]

.... maybe if we ask nicely, the gods could just stop time on today for a little longer....

[haw]

[ no matter how sneaky senri tries to be, his unannounced entrance does not slip past majima's attention. as senri tries to pick out his cereal, majima approaches, taps his shoulder, and leans in close to whisper, ]

No "I'm home" greetin'? I'm ashamed. I didn't raise ya like that.

[ ... it may ultimately all be a joke, yes, but he gets how important the pretending has been for everyone. himself included, even if he's too proud to admit it. ]

week 2, post trial

[haw]

[ hey what's up your alcoholic father has depression and the rest of the family is nowhere to be found

a long day continues into a long night, it seems. ]

[usogi]

[senri needs to come back to get his phone charger

but he pauses

. . . . ]

I'm home, Ogou-san.

week 3, tuesday

[usogi]

[senri had a very, very, very long monday.

he's having a very long tuesday also actually - covered up in a jacket and scarf even though it's a perfectly normal temperature inside?? he's making what's probably his third cup of tea - not so much for the drink, but just because he wants something in his hands.

odd.

he turns when he hears someone approach and offers up a smile]

Ogou-san! Hungry? I can make a snack if you want.

[they're not really living together in the same units anymore but???]

[haw]

[ shut up you can't get him to admit that he misses casa majima... even if it legitimately was better than any place he's ever lived in... ]

Were ya in the middle of makin' somethin' already?

week 3, friday

[haw]

Oi.

[ ogou-san is here ]

What happened to ya. Don't say "nothin'."

[usogi]

[god dammit.

senri was doing his best to keep it together. he really was. even if he's bundled up to hell, has taken to carrying around a blanket with him, is managing small smiles for everyone that he encounters and reassurance

at the confrontation he seems to crumble.]

... Ogou-san.....

[ . . . ]

I... Is it okay - to still think of other things, even though people are dead...?

Everything's happening so much again and I...

week 4, wednesday

[usogi]

[senri is no longer in drag.

but he does seem to be in some pretty comfy clothes? apparently he's not opting for his normally slick uniform this week? it's a big comfy sweater and some jeans - but he also doesn't seem to be quite as bouncy as usual, his movements a little bit slower]

Oh! Ogou-san, are you still in a good mood? I wanted to ask you something...

[while he was in a good mood????]

[haw]

[ majima is probably roughed up due to the rules of this week, but that doesn't seem to have affected his mood at all. in fact, maybe it's made him... happier?!

this is your father, senri. ]

Spit it out then, what's on yer mind?

week 5, monday

[haw]

[ BUSTS DOWN A DOOR AND HUGS SENRI ]

[usogi]

[MAJIMA HE IS SO FUCKING BEAT UP STILL,,,

he'll take the hug though, even though he winces a little bit, and he'll just press his face into majima's shoulder to hide it]

Ogou-saaaaan. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry....

week 5, friday

[haw]

[ it's late on friday, because majima knows better than to try and disturb senri when the wound caused by this week's announcement is still fresh. wherever he might be on this somber night, majima comes by to check on him like a good ogou-san. ]

Oi. Ya gotta rest up for tomorrow.

[usogi]

[senri pauses for a long moment and when he looks up at majima, it's with a quiet type of seriousness]

.... I'm going to tell everyone what I know about them, so we don't waste time with questions that don't matter.

[he nods toward the coffins.]

So please protect me.

w5, sunday

[haw]

[ sometime in the early afternoon, majima seeks out senri. he really misses when all they had to talk about was stupid shit about crossdressing and relationship drama. ]

. . . Hey. Ishikiri-jisan told me the bad news.

[usogi]

[senri looks better than he did the day before, at least. he looks up from his phone and blinks as he looks at majima]

.... which set....

[he sighs softly]

That we missed Ray-kun's killer? It's - not alright, but we have leads now anyway.... It's someone from Ambition. I know three out of five this week - Ludger, Catra-san, Shang-san. There's only four alignments I have left that I don't know - Estelle-chan, Hiro-kun, Alex, and Entrapta. We're gonna see if we can get the rest this coming week.

I'm leaning toward Ludger, because the two lines on Ray-kun's code might be about his dual wielding swords.

[and he just huffs, shaking his head. he's not depressed anymore, but it seems that he's shifted to more... frustrated]

I haven't seen Mizuki-san yet - but if they ask for any information, you can tell them that, and that it came from me. Hopefully they'll trust it.

w7, monday

[haw]

[ i don't know how to write starters anymore so majima finds senri somewhere and looks very ready to talk Business but also be Dad? help me dana ]

Senri-kun. I got a whole lotta info an' I need some help tryin' to make sense of it all. Think you can give Ogou-san a hand this time?

[usogi]

[oh my god senri is probably just somewhere in the hotel at this point - and he's going to blink]

Oh -

Yeah... Of course, Ogou-san. What is it?

[WHAT YOU GOT, DAD]
