[ hello they are at the beach

saber is fully dressed, but squinting curiously at an innertube. fascinating. ]

[lightning]

[ BEACH EPISODE! jing yuan is also fully dressed albeit in casual clothes.

he notices saber studying the innertube. ]

I believe it is a flotation device. Would you like to try it?

[ just casually... takes them out to sea... ]

[rippled]

NOOO I NEVER GOT THIS NOTIF OMOOOO

[lightning]

AKSJDFLKJASDF HANDWAVES THEIR ETERNAL BEACH EPISODE 🥺

W6 TUESDAY / void

[lightning]

[ WE'RE SO BACK!! they can be in the hotel lobby or wherever might have a reflective surface. i've had a memshare in a water trough at the petting zoo before, truly anything is possible...

anyway, he will at least give saber a polite greeting, before a memory interrupts them. ]

[rippled]

[ they blink, jumpscared by the memory. ]

What was that...?

[lightning]

...Something from a distant past. A grave mistake.

[rippled]

... I see.

I apologize for intruding onto that.

[lightning]

It's all right. It isn't much of a private memory anymore, and by no fault of yours.

I do not mind speaking of it, if there was anything you wished to know.

[rippled]

Does this have anything to do with... whatever war Jiaoqiu was part of? I recognize some of the names.

[lightning]

Ah, this took place over 700 years ago, so it was long before Jiaoqiu's time.

[ that's what the wiki says but hsr timeline is a MESS. also me like i really should've indicated jing yuan as 800+ years old in his profile, IT IS FINE... THAT IS TECHNICALLY STILL 700+... ]

However, we are a long-lived species. You may have heard of Jingliu, who once defeated the enemy of the Foxians.

week 7, monday

[rippled]

[ hi jy.... ]

Is there anything you want to see on this side?

[lightning]

[ he nods and smiles. ]

The flower garden. And what about you, Master Saber?

[rippled]

I think the garden is fine. Let's go?

[lightning]

Mhm, lets.

[ off they go! ]

...I'm a little relieved, that nothing seems amiss here.

[ prepares tea for them...! ]

[rippled]

It would be a shame if it was. Apparently the train is completely overrun with the tiny wizards.

[lightning]

Ah. Yes. I was turned into a chao for a time, by one of their spells...

[ among other curses i have yet to pc ]

[rippled]

I am sorry I missed that...

W7 SATURDAY

[lightning]

[ RELAXING AFTER ALL THAT! he can be found wherever now that things are back to normal. ]

Have you come to a decision, Master Saber?

[ i feel like it's important to note here that this is after showering. FREE OF SOUP SMELLS. ]

[rippled]

Mm. I may need to talk to Claude one more time to be sure though.

[ they smile. ]

We really made it though.

[lightning]

I think he would appreciate the company.

[ he returns the smile. ]

Did you have any doubt?

[rippled]

Perhaps a little. But I am not a very optimistic person.

[lightning]

And yet you are a very strong one. I did enjoy fighting alongside you today.

It's a shame we can't do it in the future, but I hope to hear of your exploits.

[rippled]

I will learn to pay more attention to my phone.

[ probably ]

[lightning]

Good. Because I don't expect Claude to.

[ just loses touch with both of them forever gooby ]
