this is dimitri and phoenix now

Comments

week 1, monday

[slobjection]

[ guess who is chilling in the theater!! it's phoenix!! he sees dimitri approach, and pats the seat next to him ]

If you were wondering what you missed on Blues, I can enlighten you right now.

[overruns]

[ he'll go ahead and take that seat, thank you. the theater does not actually seem like very palatable material... so it's probably better with some company. ]

...This is the 'setting' you experienced? Blues?

[slobjection]

The mansion, yes. Though it wasn't really Blue's.

[ there is no way he's going to understand these jokes and yet phoenix makes them because he is just like that. ]

Gave us all the blues, though. Now you can see it second hand.

[overruns]

[ the completely incomprehensible inside jokes are just part of his mystery.

the movie's starting. the reel is rolling, and the noise of the trial rings out all around them. ]

You seem rather calm about it.

week 1, sunday, post-exec

[overruns]

[ it's been a minute since the execution, but he can't think of anything else. beau, her injuries, her reaction when it was all over. ogata's final moments.

it certainly doesn't build up an appetite, but he heads to the kitchen for other reasons. seems that phoenix may have the same idea. ]

...Trying to make toast again?

[ it's not really a jab. he sounds tired. ]

[slobjection]

[ they are blue cooking mamas.... maybe. phoenix gives dimitri a wry smile. ]

No, I've upgraded to pancakes. What about you?

[ is he here to eat more of phoenix's terrible cooking and suffer? maybe ]

[overruns]

[ it's the thought behind a home-cooked meal that counts... probably... ]

I was going to make myself some tea. [ ... ] I thought perhaps Beau might like some as well, but I don't know her tastes well enough to say.

[ they've only known each other a few weeks, but her suffering still struck a chord. ]

[slobjection]

[ maybe..... ]

If you want to bring Beau something, you can always lend me a hand.

[ cooking assistant dimitri ]

week 2, sunday

[slobjection]

[ phoenix actually goes to check on giyuu himself, but once he's done that he'll loop back and look around for dimitri..... where is blueson at ]

Hanging in there?

[overruns]

[ blueson is here, not far from the nurse's office, actually. he's got his uniform jacket rolled up in his arms, because it needs a wash on account of carrying giyuu.

he looks tired, but at least he's upright. ]

Phoenix... I'm all right. [ frustrated, but alive. ] How are you faring?

[slobjection]

[ red and blue..... ]

[ yeah, there is that. ]

Got some tips for getting the blood out, if you want.

[ they can head over to laundry... dimitri might remember when phoenix was covered in blood!!! it was last week. ]

Oh, you know. Hanging in there.

[overruns]

[ yes it's very hard to forget the body pile. ]

Ah, do you? I could afford to get better at laundry.

[ he wasn't quite as pampered as some nobles, but let's be real, he probably hasn't had to do a load of laundry in years. ]

Why don't we walk and talk, then? If you have the time.

w3 - wednesday

[overruns]

[ okay let's say this is after he sobers up from the mini-event, so it's a little late. the rain has finally stopped, and he's sort of... chilling by the bonfire, looking up at the sky, arms wrapped around himself to keep warm. the temperature doesn't bother him too much, though.

he tries to avert his eyes when he hears someone approaching. ]

...Phoenix?

[slobjection]

[ phoenix has a brelly with him regardless of the rain stopping, but he lifts his hands in a wave as he approaches and sits down nearby. ]

Congratulations on the wedding, by the way. [ shut up phoenix ]

How are things going?

[overruns]

[ phoenix... ]

Yes, you as well.

[ said dryly, because they're all newlyweds here. apparently. ]

All is well enough. I thought I could smell a snowstorm coming, so I thought I'd wait and see for a while.

[ he's usually up pretty late. ]

[slobjection]

[ lay the mem on me whenever nunu ]

The honeymoon left a little to be desired.... I got attacked by a goose.

[ hang on one sec. ]

How does one smell a snowstorm, exactly?

week 3, friday

[slobjection]

[ phoenix seems to be shivering a lot??? but he's finding dimitri and approaching him, pudding in hand. as well as some hot chocolate, though it's spilling a bit... oh well, he tried. ]

Here.

[overruns]

[ he's over by the bonfire, heating up some... rocks? he's more or less ignoring the whole avoid-eye-contact deal in favor of being angry about dead people, so he gives Phoenix a slightly exasperated look. ]

Where did you and Majima even fall asleep? You'll catch your own death like that.

[ He does take the hot choco and pudding to save it from Phoenix's shaky hands, at least. ]

[slobjection]

Isolation cabin.

[ excuse him while he sits supportively near dimitri... but also near the bonfire. he's cold af. ]

What are you working on....?

w4, thursday

[overruns]

[ after he's been patched up, dimitri is just Chillin in the nurse's hall until he feels well enough to cart himself over to one of the cabins for the night.

and phoenix is apparently one of his nurses for the evening; dimitri just rests on one of the cots, carefully flipping the dagger that's since been pulled free from his shoulder.

quietly, ]

You wouldn't listen if I told you that you don't need to stay, would you?

[slobjection]

You got me. I'm a very stubborn old man...... I stick around, even when I'm not wanted.

[ dimitri stop playing with daggers???? he is concerned. ]

[overruns]

[ no, he's going to continue doing so. he's handling it pretty well for someone so fucked up, but he ends up dropping the dagger onto the bedsheets every few exercises. he's not as deft as he should be—which is probably why he keeps trying. ]

I have to admire your persistence, when I have been less than thankful.

[ he realizes he should be nicer—phoenix just keeps catching him at his lowest. ]

w4, saturday

[slobjection]

[ phoenix goes out looking for dima, wherever he be.... ]

.. Hey. Mind if we chat for a little?

[overruns]

[ dimitri be sitting around the memorial hall, mostly contemplating his life choices. ]

No, that's fine—what is one your mind, Phoenix?

[slobjection]

[ phoenix will come sit nearby and sip on some grape juice, they're doing great. ]

I was wondering about the items you and Taako used. [ sorry to be all business but. ] Can you tell me a little more?
