w0, monday

[frotag]

[ i am so sorry that rng decided this but. i guess whenever todomatsu goes to the bathrooms next, he will hear a voice coming from one of the stalls, accompanied by an emotional blast that's a mixture of pure panic, awkwardness, and embarrassment. ]

I hate to ask, but uh, help a brother out and pass some TP?

[drymonster]

[ i am not sorry at all this is fantastic. uploads the icon of him reaching for toilet paper that i never thought i'd need. ]

Jeez...

[ the emotion here is just kind of an eyeroll, because don't you check first?? but he does tear off a length of like, 10 squares and pass it under the stall. ]

Here.

[frotag]

[ this is the funniest possible result thank you so much for this gift. there's a wave of relief that drifts over the stall as the tp is grabbed, followed by a flush and an opening of the stall door. ]

Man, you're a lifesaver. Seriously, you always think you'll never end up in that kinda situation until you're already in deep... uh, no pun intended.

[ there's a split second where he ALMOST puts his hand out for a shake before he very suavely continues the forward motion to turn on the faucet and wash. he is cultured, he is not a barbarian. ]

w0, saturday post-trial

[drymonster]

[ catching up with ichiban outside the galley at some point ]

Kasuga-san! Want to work on those croissants tonight?

[frotag]

Ah, sure thing—might be just the thing we need to get our minds off everything. How much baking have you done before?

w3, tuesday

[drymonster]

[ shortly after the hangman party because i think this is hilarious to have happen right after that exchange they had — it's a memory void!

and... oh god it is a memory (11:20 - 21:28, warnings for... checks notes... naked asses and sexual harassment). on one hand he is absolutely mortified to have this shared with ANYONE, but on the other, he's thanking the fucking lord that at least it's happening with a guy who can't say he's done much better.

(it's worth noting that this gross horny jackass in the memory with him is very clearly an identical twin or something.) ]

...Kasuga-san. Promise me you will never speak of this to anyone.

[frotag]

[ honestly, the fact that todomatsu has an identical brother or five is the absolute last thing that ichiban would find weird about this situation. in fact, he doesn't flinch at all while watching. he takes the entire memory in stride—the strategy meeting with osomatsu, the meet-cute, the casual chatter, the bathroom break, the point of no return, the sudden plot twist, the walk of shame...

as it fades out, he places a hand on todomatsu's shoulder—a show of understanding, of solidarity. ]

You are a good boy, Totty.

w3, saturday

[frotag]

[ WELL. OK THEN. sometime after trial, ichiban is at titan's call. he's changed out of his casual outfit, instead opting to wear his maroon suit as he knocks back a drink. he downs the whole thing before placing the empty glass on the bar and turning to see todomatsu. ]

Ah... hey, Todo-chan. Crazy shit, huh.

[drymonster]

[ sits down next to him and orders a drink. ]

Ugh. You're telling me. What the hell did he think he was going to accomplish with that?!

w4, thursday - text

[drymonster]

hey, you're living by yourself now, right?
on the ship i mean

[ since rip eunhyuk (may your memory live forever through this magnet though) ]

[frotag]

number1HERO

Yeah, ever since... you know.
Why?

w4, friday

[drymonster]

[ outside the park in the morning after curfew i guess, sighing deeply because godddd can we please stop killing two people every week now. ]

...Okay, well. I fell asleep before getting back to this last night, but Adrastea-san said they haven't been able to change the locks yet even though they're trying.

So I guess in the meantime, if you want to, we can just, like. Keep our own rooms but have a standing appointment for you to come over to mine each night at a certain time? [ ... ] Oh my god it sounds so weird and sketchy saying it out loud like that.

[frotag]

[ you know... in response to all that... ichiban just smiles and hugs todomatsu. perhaps unsurprisingly, he is very warm to the touch in a comfortable way. ]

Doesn't sound weird at all to me, man.

w4, saturday

[drymonster]

[ well. everything feels terrible, and todomatsu's just kind of lying back in one of the seats in the lounge and staring at the ceiling (he has not yet changed his shirt but he's also kind of forgotten he's wearing it by now), though he sits up halfway when he sees ichiban. ]

...How's your hand?

[frotag]

[ it probably got re-fucked up in the whole rosamund business at the end, the bandage having suffered many briar punctures... It Is What It Is. he also has yet to change or fix himself up after everything that happened today... it's fine. they can vibe. which means he immediately just kind of collapses into a chair next to todomatsu with a tired laugh. ]

Honestly, I don't even feel it.

[frotag]

[ in light of today's announcement, ichiban returns to room 006 with a pile of shirts. on top is a pastel pink crop top bearing the image of harley's face with the text "and lo, she was hot" printed around it. ]

Yo, Todo-chan, open up.

[drymonster]

[ opens... and immediately laughs a little when he sees what ichiban's holding. ]

Oh my god, you're passing these out too?

[ there's already a black unisex t-shirt with the same design on it folded on his desk. ]

w5, saturday

[drymonster]

[ somewhere in the hall outside the rooms when it's close to the scheduled door opening time... ]

Hey. Are you staying over tonight, or...?

[ he knows staying in the brig is a thing people do sometimes, and he's not sure how close ichiban was to gregor. ]

[frotag]

[ ichiban's actually waiting right outside the room for todomatsu to come unlock it. he isn't wearing a shirt, having already folded the harley memorial tee and tucked it under his arm. ]

...Nah, I'm stayin' with Greg. Just wanted to change first.

w6, monday

[frotag]

[ here we are at titan's call, as promised! we can say they've been here a bit, just shooting the breeze until totty is off his shits enough to follow up on their conversation from saturday— ]

So... about your nips.

[ HAPPY WEEK SIX, ERIC ]

i'm. stares at hands. I GUESS ABUSE AND MUTILATION CW BUT IT'S JUST DARK SLAPSTICK CARTOON HUMOR

[drymonster]

[ blinks for a second and looks down at his chest like, are they SHOWING?? before he remembers ]

Ohhhh, right, right!!

[ takes another big drink that he really doesn't need at this point and sets the glass back down on the counter a little too hard ]

Okay, so. Our parents were suuuuper pissed at all of us and were doing this fucked up thing where, like— they wanted us to guess why they were mad and tell them what we were going to do to fix it, so they had us all lined up and they'd call on us one at a time to answer while Mom looked all threatening with this butcher knife. And if you didn't give a satisfactory answer, she'd just—

[ limp-wristed slicing motion ]

Cut 'em off right through your shirt! Like— totally messed up, right?

[ he is saying this so casually ]

Anyway, I was the fifth one that got called on, so by the time it got to me and they asked me what kind of job I was going to go out and get that day, I was just like, NOPE, fuck that, I'm not playing along with this shit!

Soooo I just said I wasn't gonna, and tore 'em off myself before she could do it to me!

[ takes another drink! ]

w6, friday

[frotag]

[ on this perfectly normal friday, ichiban is at the food court, enjoying a couple of normal, non-eely slices of pizza. he's about to take a bite when he sees todomatsu coming, at which point he puts down his food and gives a casual wave. ]

Yo, Todo-chan. Quick question—pineapple on pizza, yay or nay?

[drymonster]

[ this friday is so normal that it's abnormal... he comes over! ]

Like Hawaiian pizza? It's not what I'd usually order for myself, but it's not bad. Adding fruit to things for a little bit of extra sweetness is good sometimes.

[ me literally pulling up the episode where they argue about ordering pizza to see if he ever points to one to help me determine his tastes and he DOESN'T ]

w7, monday

[drymonster]

[ sometime before everyone starts BLEEDING, i guess... maybe having lunch on the beach or something so they can at least try to briefly enjoy that before the week goes to shit.

anyway i lied i'm going to give him one of the serious memories this time — here from 11:43 to 18:03.

he sighs. ]

Did we really need reruns of some of these effects...

[frotag]

[ NOT THEIR BEACH DATE BEING RUINED BY A STRAY MEMSHARE. ichiban is taken by surprise to be pulled into a memory rift again, so it takes him a little bit to reorient himself once they're free of this one... but once he's got his head back on his shoulders, he just offers todomatsu a sympathetic smile. ]

...Family's gotta be rough, huh? 'Specially one as big as yours, Todo-chan. I mean, I can only imagine, heh.
