how we doin, Taisho

[rollplayinghouse]

Who: Taisho (and anyone who wants to check on them)
Where: Taisho dorms
When: Day 66, late morning

[Maki ultimately spent the night at Future is Now, but in the morning she finally takes everyone's advice and returns to Taisho. She is fully grayscale at this point, and also looks... a bit darker, maybe? Like she's standing in a shadow, or someone moved the brightness slider down slightly.

She changes back into a Taisho outfit before coming back to the common area.]

So... does anyone have thoughts on doing better at unit unity.

There must be some way we can utilize those to form a more cohesive image.

[rollplayinghouse]

I'm open to ideas.

[artisticliberty]

... it may sound strange, but what if we fought? Using bladed weapons.

[rollplayinghouse]

Why that?

[artisticliberty]

I purchased a Japanese katana and have been practicing with it, and I believe you use daggers?

[rollplayinghouse]

I use all kinds of weapons, but daggers and knives are some of the most comfortable for me, yes.

[artisticliberty]

That is why I think it would be best for both of us. We could use the Vid room, too.

[rollplayinghouse]

Is that part of our image, though? Avante is the unit for that sort of thing.

[artisticliberty]

True, but stubbornness often leads to strife and conflict... I thought if we staged a duel, of sorts, that it might improve our image.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm... a duel with bladed weapons is definitely avante's thing. Something else might be better.

[artisticliberty]

How do we all exhibit independence... together...?

[rollplayinghouse]

Maybe we should focus on something other than independence...

[she pulls up her phone to look at unit descriptions]

Traditional or old-fashioned. Serious or stoic. Soothing or calming. Fussy. Unbending or stubborn.

[artisticliberty]

Tea ceremony?

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't really know anything about tea ceremonies, but we could try.

[artisticliberty]

I know a little, myself. It seems worth trying as much as anything else.

[rollplayinghouse]

We can see if we can get everyone together for it...

[artisticliberty]

I'll speak to the others when I see them.

That aside, have you noticed any changes in how you're feeling?

[rollplayinghouse]

...My memory is worse than it was yesterday. I haven't noticed any improvements.

[artisticliberty]

Then we must act quickly.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Mm.

[artisticliberty]

Maki... I promise I'll do everything I can to stop this.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Thank you.
