Here’s the beef

[send_noods]

Who: pep!pep! and visitors
Where: Pep common room
When: Day 264

 

There’s a new addition to the pep common room today. There’s a tall, muscled, tattooed guy in sweatpants (and nothing else) standing in front of the TV. He’s scrolling through his phone, looking at it and the TV in turn. You might be able to hear him muttering to himself.

 

 

“Black’s fine I guess…”

Ah, hello?

[send_noods]

[oh! A person I don't know. Dat outfit though]

Um, hey. Are you one of my team mates?

[tenebraecious]

[it's very cute, thank you]

I am. One of seven others . . . Ah, you can call me Glacies.

[wonderlandgirl]

[Okay now this is an out of context problem.

[Wednesday stops short, blushing; she wonders if she should cover her eyes. Is this someone else's newbie who's gotten lost or made friends really easily or--]

Aah, sorry, sorry...! I'll, uh, I'll come back later?

[send_noods]

[looks up and notices her clothes]

Don't you, uh, live here?

[Kinda waggles his phone a bit]

So do I, apparently.

[wonderlandgirl]

[Yup, it's a bit odd.

[There's quite a lot more going on with her than the outfit, too.]

Y-you do? I'm sorry, I - I don't... I made a mistake.

Um, I'm Wednesday. Well, it's Wednesday's Child if you're looking at the profiles. I-is there anything I can - well, help with?

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ snickering ]

Watch out, you're gonna start drooling there.

[wonderlandgirl]

[YOU ARE NOT HELPING

[WHEN DID PEP!PEP! BECOME... THIS]

S-Senpai...! I wasn't--!!

[In the morning, Cobalt is on his way back to the dorm after being out all night. The first time he tries the door, it doesn't unlock.

He frowns at his phone -- did the omamori screw with it? Why isn't it working?

He tries a couple more times until eventually it takes. When he enters the room, he's soaking wet, covered head to toe in glitter, and has hot pink hair. He looks tired, and he's carrying an enormous disc-shaped thing under one arm, covered in a cloth.

His new set of antlers have finally grown back in to their full size, though they're still covered in soft velvet. —Mostly, anyway. A couple tines are bare, strips of velvet dangling.

(There is a lot going on here, I'm sorry)

Cobalt pulls up short when he sees this new topless guy in his house, though]


Uh.


...Hello again?

[tenebraecious]

[hi, have a panicked pep, whispering to Cobalt]

He does not remember.

[we_meet_again]

Oh...

[he's not really sure why that matters tbh]

...Are you okay?

[why are you panicking]

[send_noods]

[what even is going on here]

Uh... I don't think we've met?

[He'd remember your uh, distinct look]

You doing ok, man?

[we_meet_again]

[Suddenly feeling very Aware of how he looks]

Ah... Long night. I just need a shower.

I'm Cobalt —one of your unitmates, it seems! Nice to meet you.

Did you just arrive?

[wonderlandgirl]

Cobalt-san...

[Wednesday turns away; her smile drops.

[Lowers her voice.]

I - I miss Yugi-kun.

[we_meet_again]

I do too.

It feels weird not having him here.

[worldlyafflictions]

Seadi!

[send_noods]

[looks up at the direction of your voice, and then he looks behind himself, sees no one there.

Looks back at you.]

You talkin' to me?

[sounds a little unsure]

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh, ya don't remember bein' here before, huh...

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ hmmm. well, this can only mean one thing ]

Welcome to Hell.

[send_noods]

[but what is Christianity? 8D ]

Is that the uh, city?

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Naw. It's a replica of Tokyo, if that means anything to ya. I mean, we're literally in hell. You know--the bad place?

[tenebraecious]

[watching the conversation devolve to religion]

If you have trouble with the particulars, I am well versed in the scriptures of our world.

[Welp you catch him by surprise! He drops his phone on the floor, and he seizes up for a few seconds but he doesn't drop.

... this happens to him more than you think, he's pretty resilient]
