Comments

[stakesthesame]

[ absolutely not.

requiem is already in her room and mcfuckin hiding under the covers the moment she gets home, which is... probably a bit earlier than everyone else, but.

her door's probably cracked open, anwyay. ]

[hissterics]

[ At some point she slinks in and sprawls at Req's feet.

Doesn't even say anything, just. She's there now. Enjoy. ]

[stakesthesame]

[ well.

req definitely doesn't notice at first, so she can get an earful of shuddering breathes as she tries not to cry more into her pillow.

-- she does freeze when she finally DOES notice the weight at the end of her bed, and furiously scrubs her eyes, lifting her head--

ah. ]

... hey.

[ her voice's gone rough and twangy again, oops. ]

[hissterics]

[ The cat loaf has its back to her, though both ears are angled backwards. ]

...

Why are you crying?

[stakesthesame]

[ quiet for a moment.

and just fwumps her face back into the pillow. ]

W-who's crying. I'm not crying. What am I, a baby who cries over stuff?

[rollplayinghouse]

[knocking lightly on the door.]

[stakesthesame]

[ ... muffled: ]

Come in.

[rollplayinghouse]

[comes in, looking around]

...How are you doing?

[stakesthesame]

[ she's holed up in her bed so it takes a moment for her to pull the curtain back enough to peer down at maki, eyes red. also sniffly. ]

... I won, so I've got that going for me, I guess.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he pushes the door in the rest of the way, (gently) calling out: ]

Yo, I'm comin' in...

[stakesthesame]

[ probably stopped crying by now so there is that

just kinda flopped out up in her loft cave bed ]

... hey. What's up?

[carnivorouscarnival]

You've been crying in here for hours and you gotta ask me why I'm here?

[stakesthesame]

-- it wasn't hours! Maybe like-- one hour. Tops.

[hissterics]

[ Curled up in a miserable ball on a perch somewhere, but -- notably still in the common room.

She licks anxiously at her arm every now and then, but whenever anyone appears in the common area, her tail flicks. ]

... Hey.

[ PAY ATTENTION TO CAT ]

[rollplayinghouse]

[Coming back out after her shower]

...Hey.

How did the game go for you?

[hissterics]

[ The tip of her tail twitches in agitation ]

... It was a draw.

[rollplayinghouse]

A draw...? How did that happen?

[constellationprize]

[ is seemingly just passing through on her way back out but she does approach, hand extended to pet cat. ]

[hissterics]

[ .... Ok. She'll allow this. ]

Where are you going?

[constellationprize]

[ pet pet pet getting behind the ears. fortunately being married to whiskey has made her a skilled cat petter. ]

sensitIV didn't win, so I wanted to check on Luci... do you want me to get you some snacks?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he's out in the common room himself, just sulking in a beanbag chair. but he looks over when spoken to. ]

What's up?

[hissterics]

[ Uhhh

Shit. She doesn't have a followup.

She just wanted attention. ]

...

You look grumpy.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Yeaaaahhhh, well. I beefed it in round one.

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory has enough people to check on that she comes home a little later, but eventually she returns to shower and change and then goes to poke around in the kitchen.

She seems... alright? Maybe slightly distracted.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ sunken into one of the beanbag chairs in the common room. it's SULK TIME again, kids. ]
