w0; SUNDAY

[cavaliered]

[she's poking around rooms, which is why she's probably about to walk in on lavi doing... whatever it is he does in his dormroom when he thinks he's alone.

what's up.]

[bookpapers]

[STOP HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING BAD,

he's actually stretched out on the floor with the pillow under his head, reading a book while a small object flutters over him-- he glances up when gideon waltzes in,]

-- Hi?

[GIDEON?]

w0, thurs

[bookpapers]

[in the early afternoon from @ bookmanjr]

how's your head?

[cavaliered]

[this takes a bit, but she finally replies with:]

I am not sure it's still attached
Investigatin pendng

w0; FRIDAY

[cavaliered]

[here is gideon, wandering into the bar. she pauses in the middle of the room - and then wanders to the barstools and flops down, reaching up to run her hand through her hair absently.

when she sees lavi, she just waves a little, sunglasses pushed up on top of her head.]

... Hey. Okay?

[bookpapers]

[Lavi's tense, but he relaxes some when he sees Gideon. he moves out from behind the bar to join her at the stools.]

Pissed as hell, but yeah. You?

w0 saturday

[bookpapers]

[Lavi's at the library, but just outside, sitting on the steps. He waves when he sees Gideon, expression curled into the sort of strained smile one gets when a murder happens.]

So, guess there are people here who'd be that stupid, huh?

[the way they talked about it for .5 seconds and now it's TRUE]

[cavaliered]

[yea it's strained smiles all around except gideon isn't smiling so much as grimacing. or frowning. she's not really sure what he face is doing.

she goes to sit down next to him, at least, even if she can't stay still. lightly:]

People that would just kill kids to get ahead. Hope he double-dies facefirst in shit.

w1; MONDAY

[cavaliered]

[we are starting this scene in media res

gideon pulls a tent flap up, her free hand on her sword (yes, she has a sword, and it's a fucking huge two-handed), and then:]

Hey, Lavi. Come look at the shit in here.

[bookpapers]

[Lavi immediately obeys when called, ducking his head to avoid the flap as he enters the tent,]

Where'd you get the -- [then he sees it, the Equipment] swords??

w1 friday

[bookpapers]

[he heads straight into planetarium as soon as he spots a familiar flash of red hair, golem tagging along behind him

the door makes enough noise to announce his presence, but he still speaks up --]

Hey, talk to me.

[OUR GIDEON!! HOW IS SHE!!]

[cavaliered]

[WELL SHE'S DOING BAD, FAM

this isn't the kind of thing that would get to her normally - or if it did, it'd be like. easy to swallow, easy to hide, easy to let it fester and burn her insides, but this week, everything is so intense. she can't do that. she's been trying, and it's not doing anything at all, which is why she's in the planetarium with her sword, swinging it at one of the scale models of the planets, not giving a shit what it does to the edge of it.

talk to me, lavi says, and gideon ignores him. keeps her back to him, because she's pretty sure she's fucked up her face paint and it's so incredibly difficult to hide that you've been crying when your makeup betrays you.]

w1; SATURDAY

[bookpapers]

[me like what if i skipped texting and gideon's already handing some food to Lavi,

he'll accept it, with a faint smile on his face.]

Thanks. What about you?

[cavaliered]

[this is allowed because lavi is one of her siblings now.]

I'll be honest, if I ate, I'd throw it up. [she's kind of just numbed out, a little. all of her anger was yesterday.]

w2; MONDAY

[bookpapers]

[PUTS THEM ON SUBNUTICA SOMEWHERE, maybe just outside the casino like he's thinking of bad ideas with his bestest pal,

though he turns to Gideon first, looking concerned]

Kon said you lost your muscles.

[cavaliered]

[she looks so disgruntled, looking up at the casino.]

It comes and goes. At least I can walk, now. [...] Kon's a snitch.

w2; THURSDAY

[cavaliered]

[she cares about all of these suckers, but lavi being as upset as he was makes something awful and sick settle in her stomach.

it's a little while after the chaos, and she comes to check on him, holding a bottle of water.]

[bookpapers]

[Lavi's all nicely cleaned up now, bandages wrapped firmly around his shoulder and arm, and also his thigh. He still doesn't look any less rattled. A little distant, even.

But he comes back when he sees Gideon in the doorway, and he holds up a hand to wave her in and accept the bottle.]

Hey. [his voice is hoarse, but he's managing.] Um... [. . .] Sorry, about that...

[for running like a scared filly]

w2; friday

[bookpapers]

[does lavi still look like he's been shot over a ship railing and left to drown in the sea... yeah, but his expression is thunderous -- and clearly annoyed.

he'll head right over to gideon the moment he sees her,]

Cosmos... I was at the movie theater with him and a couple of others.

[cavaliered]

[she's doing okay, today - she's bare faced, and her sunglasses are on her forehead... she looks more worried about lavi than anything, when she approaches.

she chews her lip for a second, and then:]

You friends with him?

w2; SATURDAY

[cavaliered]

[idk what jail looks like but gideon just sits. she just sits and stares at him. her face is bare, there's no face paint.]

[bookpapers]

[I KNOW THERE ARE BARS? there are bars now.

Lavi looks back, but after a moment he breaks his gaze again.]

...I talked to Date and Bixing about motive. I thought whoever had killed Cosmos had no excuse.

Wish I knew how right I was, coulda saved us all the trouble.

w7; MONDAY

[bookpapers]

[wow i wonder what gideon's doing well whatever she's doing she'll see a red-headed blur part the crowd and nyoom right for her,

SHE CAN'T HAIR RUFFLE HIM FIRST IF HE DOES IT RIGHT AWAY TAPS HEAD]

Gotcha!

[cavaliered]

[oh my god

she startles and nearly takes him out with a reflexive slap, but she stops herself right before she hits him. and - well, it's still touch week somewhere, so she just grins widely and yanks him into a bear hug? suffer the hug.]

w7, WEDNESDAY

[bookpapers]

[good news lavi is no longer injured
bad news there is a hole and they're falling into it! happy wednesday!! he presses a hand to his head and blinks up at Gideon, expression sheepish.]

...You think we'll get to see something nice for once?

[lavi asks, and like someone who's jinxed this moment for them both, the screen flicks on.]

[cavaliered]

[yay lavi your no longer injuries!

also, gideon just grumbles on the floor where she's fallen, giving him a Look. before she can say anything, the memory plays, and she gets distracted, watching it.

and then:] Something's telling me you probably weren't supposed to do that.
