[ let ishi yeet senri specifically ]

[usogi]

Comments

week 1, wednesday

[usogi]

[idk where senri would find ishi, teej, you tell me

but tbh wherever it is, senri will be skipping over remarkably chipper considering that he's in a murder temple?]

Ishirin....-san!

[he's not saying your whole name, ishi, it's just not happening]

Are you free?

ishi is not yeeting senri

[ritualization]

[probably in the courtyard we'll go with that

anyway!! he blinks at the nickname, but he doesn't seem put off by it, turning to senri with a smile.]

Ah, Nito-kun. I'm free for the moment- did you need something?

why NOT

[usogi]

Just your attention and a slice of your time if you please!

[senri hums a little]

I know that I got super freaked out by the fortune telling room, but I have a little surprise of my own. I know some magic, Ishirin-san. Wanna see?

week 1, friday

[ritualization]

[yeah dad is absolutely going to come find him after he runs the fuck off, wherever he happens to have ended up before ishi catches up; considering how fast he left, this just didn't seem like the time to try to catch him right there in the courtyard.]

... Nito-kun. I hope you don't mind the company.

[because he seems like he needs it & he is therefore getting it.]

[usogi]

[it'll take a while to find him, actually. because senri is very purposefully making himself hard to find. he'll run all around the temple to get rid of his energy and also to try to tire out anyone who might've been following him - but at the end of the day.

he's at the last step of the stairs outside before he hits the clouds.

he got all the initial crying out, but he won't turn back to face ishi just yet.]

.... I dunno if I make for good company right now, Ishirin-san.

[ritualization]

You don't have to be.

[ishi takes a seat on that last stair, though after senri didn't turn to look at him-- he doesn't try to push it. he's looking ahead, just sort of keeping senri in his peripheral vision instead.]

It is not something you should force, but neither does it mean that you should be alone.

w2, friday

[ritualization]

[wherever ishi can come across senri, it's likely to happen at some point; after he's finished in the courtyard, he'll be wandering for a while, not particularly pulled to any specific place.

maybe avoiding going back to the house, just a bit.

but regardless of where senri's gonna be:]

Do you have a moment, Nito-kun?

[because he is 100% on the list of people ishi checks on, now.]

[usogi]

[senri is going to be in the kitchen, making food honestly? it's something simple, as he's preparing rice

and he looks over his shoulder]

Oh - sure, Ishirin-san... I'm glad to see that you're doing okay...

[in a manner of speaking?

but at least senri isn't crying his eyes out today]

week 2, saturday

[usogi]

[god this is so exhausting

but senri is going to knock on ishi's door, given that there's a chance he's seen him go into fossil house before]

Ishirin-san? I'm probably the thirtieth face you've seen tonight, huh....

[ritualization]

I always have time for you, Nito-kun.

[he lets senri in easily, gesturing for him to come in and take a seat; there's already a partially drunk cup of tea on the coffee table.]

Shall I make another cup for you?

[he is

pretty chill, considering everything.]

[usogi]

[and senri will just. shake his head]

No, that's okay - I'm sure you've had enough tea for a lifetime.

.... I talked to Piety. They remind me a lot of you.

w3, uhh monday probably

[ritualization]

[has ishi ever seen a high school, not really-- but the carnival, that's kind of like a festival, and he's more familiar with those. it's the first time he's been to one in person, though, so he's wandering around to slowly take it all in, still making his way through when he runs into senri.]

--ah, there you are, Nito-kun. Here to take a look around?

make it tuesday for my sanity please

[usogi]

[for what it's worth - senri's still bundled up! with a jacket and a scarf? wwwwweird. he looks over when someone says his name and he offers up a smile]

Ishirin-san! Yup yup - glad to see you're doing well tooooo.

tuesday it is!!

[ritualization]

As well as possible, I believe.

[but he raises a brow slightly at what senri's wearing-]

Are you all right?

w3 saturday LORD

[ritualization]

[ishi's going to come to the kitchen also, because tea is calming and warm and holy shit does he need both of those right now-- and when he sees senri, he's just pulling out a second cup without even asking.]

Which kind would you like, Nito-kun?

[he just sounds Tired.]

[usogi]

.... s-s-something g-good for sleep.

[because he

doesn't know if he will tonight]

... wh-which way d-did you vote, Ishirin-san?

[ritualization]

I believe there's still some of the chamomile left.

[so he's going to fish that out-- it's what he's going to make for himself, as well.

and at that question, he folds his arms on the counter with a sigh, pulling his blanket a little tighter around himself while the tea steeps.]

...I couldn't bring myself to choose Ambition, given what happened. [both it being accidental, and honestly? ambition's freakout back there.] Considering what we were told about not looking in the right direction, I ended up torn between Justice and Indulgence.

[which he doesn't sound very satisfied about, but.]

I'm not certain I think it truly was someone in his following, but I went with the former, in the end.

week 4, tuesday

[usogi]

[heeeere's senri! he's not in drag anymore, but he is wearing a big comfy sweater. weird. anyway he's going to find ishi wherever he might be and hum a happy little note]

Ishirin-san! Can I talk to you for a sec...?

[he seems fairly bouncy - though he's also not moving as fast as he usually would? interesting,]

[ritualization]

... you weren't afflicted again, were you?

[that's the first thing he thinks about with the sweater and lack of speed, tbh.]

You do know I always have time for you, Nito.

week 5, monday

[usogi]

[hello other dad!! senri's going to wave a hand hello when he sees ishi - they're probably both wandering around inaba apparently??]

Ah, Ishirin-saaaan. I have good news! Wanna go on a field trip with me? I'm hoping it'll be an easy one...

[ritualization]

[they sure are-- but ishi always has time for senri? he's giving him a warm smile the second he sees him, coming over to join him.]

A field trip, hm...? Just where were you thinking of going, Nito-kun?

w5, thursday

[ritualization]

[WHENEVER IS GOOD TBH is this post party?? it's not like ishi is going hard on a curfew night no matter what so we're fine either way

but he's finding senri to check in!]

Nito-kun. I just wanted to make sure you are all right, before tonight.

[one more time touching base before they all go do their thing]

[usogi]

[senri - looks sad. he seems like he was probably making his way to the parlor? though he'll pause when he sees ishikirimaru - and he'll automatically wipe his cheek which seems to be

wet with tears?]

Oh - me? I'm fine, Ishirin-san...!

[not

one of his

more convincing lies]

week 7, tuesday

[usogi]

[senri is uhhhh tired. he's very tired, and he's just leaving the cathedral in piety's wing now, sighing faintly as he does

though he'll look up when he sees a familiar face]

Oh - Ishirin-san...

Enjoying Pippin's wing?

[ritualization]

I am, yes. It's proven to be a very soothing place.

[but that smile fades into a look of some concern as he peers down at senri-]

Have you been keeping yourself too busy, Nito-kun?
