WEEK 0, SUNDAY

[doublesmall]

[Well, here's the thing: he sees that request for Tuesday. He acknowledged that request for Tuesday earlier, even. But Taako's getting a small change in schedule.

By which I mean the next time he walks through a door, he will suddenly find himself somewhere completely different than the room he was expecting. This is a large, lavish office, with one wall completely windowed. There are a few plush chairs with a couple of sidetables near the window, a door at one end, and a large desk at the other.

Chuuya's seated in one of the chairs, and he gestures for Taako to join him.]

Hope you don't mind me bumping you up the schedule a little bit-- you're still good for your Tuesday appointment, by the way.

[is he doing this because he can? probably.]

[chaoticlootral]

[AH . . . . A POWERMOVE.

He doesn't seem that freaked out when he walks through a door and ends up somewhere weird - though he does jump a little in shock, I mean. He's not that cool. But the concept of a portal isn't exactly new. Once he spots Chuuya, he's kind of cottoned on to what might be happening. Sort of. Not really.

He comes over to plonk himself on one of the chairs, flipping the end of his braid.]

You liked the picture that much, huh?

[doublesmall]

[The good news is that despite everything involved in this setting it is not called a Pleasure Room, so we've got that going for us on the portal front. The other good news is he's had some time to cool off since Q&A earlier, just... not enough to keep him from being a little shit.

Chuuya breathes out a slight laugh at that question, though, shaking his head.]

More impressed you hopped on it so quickly. That's not really how I expected the app to work-- pretty sure it's going to take some of you guys a while to figure out the system.

[so like, points for that at least.]

[chaoticlootral]

[Well, it's not called the Pleasure Room yet. Seems like Jenkin's work should live on in some way, right?]

Is that supposed to be a compliment, amigo? [Crossing his legs, leaning forward on his elbows because, yeah, he's taking it as a compliment.] What can I say, I'm just real fuckin' good at shit, like, all the time.

[Waving a hand around, to indicate the room.]

So you just called me into your, uh, Pleasure Room here to tell me I'm dope? I mean, don't get me wrong, super into that.

w2, monday

[doublesmall]

[So this time Chuuya doesn't bring him to the office. Instead, Chuuya is popping up wherever Taako happens to be at some point after sending that message, so the location is completely up to you. Where's Taako.

Chuuya just finds a place to perch pretty much off the bat, whether that's a chair or an unoccupied counter/other piece of furniture To Be Determined, an amused little grin tugging at his mouth when he speaks up.]

I thought you already had your hookup for that. My organization doesn't usually deal in drugs, you know.

[he's gotta be at least somewhat of a shit.]

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako definitely gives a start - he's in the kitchen, apparently he's in the middle of making cookies - he squeezes a frosting bag way too hard when Chuuya just fuckin' sneaks up on him, sending icing out in a . . . spurt. You're welcome!]

Don't be a shit.

[doublesmall]

[In that case, he definitely just popped up and hopped right onto part of the counter Taako's not using to bake, because he's not here to get his clothes flour-y? He laughs, though, shaking his head.]

Hey, I think it's at least somewhat deserved.

[He knows Nathan's the weed man, okay, he can recognize a pic used twice!!]

[chaoticlootral]

[Picking some leftover flour up off the counter and flicking it at him.]

Not at all! You just seemed to like my pictures, thought I'd share with you too. You seem to appreciate them.

w3, monday

[doublesmall]

[Date accepted. I have no idea if these items can pop up in the NPCs' meeting spaces, so he's brought Taako out to the indoor garden this time for a change of scenery. Weird as it is, it's still kind of nice?]

Who knew there was something like this around, huh... not usually my thing, but it's not too bad.

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako likes the garden! Probably for one reason. The reason he is already partaking in - hope that isn't rude. It's a second date, so, he should start getting used to the real Taako, who will absolutely blaze up at any opportunity.]

Nathan's out of a job for me, though. Sucks for that guy.

[doublesmall]

Hey, he's still hosting here. Spread the work out a little, would you guys? Carly and I can't do all of it.

[But also, he gets it? He definitely gets it. While he doesn't ask Taako to share, he also doesn't seem to mind him blazing it either, so they seem to be chill on that particular front.]

[chaoticlootral]

Now I have to pity fuck him? I'll think about it.

[And as he's wandering . . . coming around the corner, stumbling onto what looks like a stand with two buttons on it. FORSAKE and BETRAY. They are both invitingly lit up! Almost as if you desperately want to push one of them.]

Ah, shit. One of these again. [SIGHING JUST. SO EXTREMELY DEEPLY.] You want to just get it over with?

w3, Saturday

[doublesmall]

[you're mobile so I'll spare you filling out the form and we'll assume,

but anyway! Chuuya's showing up in Taako's now-solo room, still a little tipsy from his trial drinking... pardon him while he just takes a seat somewhere.]

...it could've gone worse, I guess.

[chaoticlootral]

[My hero!!

Taako is . . . apparently not enjoying his solo room that much? How do you deal with all your dead roommate’s stuff? Did Kanesan leave clothes and shit here. Can you just throw those out? Is that rude?

Letting Chuuya sit wherever he likes, mostly just pacing himself. Then, as if he just remembered something - handing him a Snickerdoodle.]

Feels like that one really was pulled straight outta our asses.

[doublesmall]

More or less, yeah.

[He's absolutely not going to disagree... he'll take the snickerdoodle, though, taking a moment to have a bite.]

Holding up well enough in here? I thought it might be a little quiet.

[chaoticlootral]

[ He stops pacing for a second, stopping in front of him - tilting his head a bit.]

You’re . . . just checking on me?

[Hm!]

w4, saturday

[doublesmall]

[Welcome to the fancyass bedroom yet again, because Chuuya evidently said FUCK chairs and is just... sprawled on the bed. It's a 'drink straight from the bottle' kind of night, apparently, because there is no glass to go with it.]

I knew this was going to get rough, but... shit.

[chaoticlootral]

[Immediately just coming over to sprawl with him, reaching over to try and grab that bottle too, thanks?]

I wouldn't have done it.

[doublesmall]

[he passes it over easily, he'll share.]

Done what part, exactly.

[there's been A Lot.]

[chaoticlootral]

[Sitting cross-legged on the bed, taking a very long drink.]

Given up my sibling to be sacrificed. Even if she did turn out to be a demon.

w6, monday

[doublesmall]

Taako!

[Hello, Chuuya looks genuinely pleased to see him again when he pulls Taako into his office space... but give him a moment while he uses his giant desk to bar the fucking door. Then he goes and takes a seat, gesturing for Taako to do the same.]

I wondered if anyone would fill you in on being able to contact us, still-- but you probably shouldn't stay too long. You're sort of on a timer here anyway, I can't keep you out of the other side indefinitely.

[chaoticlootral]

'Sup, homie. Miss me?

[Taako is . . . exceptionally glittery? His face is somehow just more, his hair is perfectly done, his nails are no longer stick on nightmare trash. Apparently he's remagick'd. Giving an odd look to the desk barring the door, tilting his head a bit, before he goes to sit. Though he summons his own chair up from the ether, just to show off.]

That's alright. We're working on. Got an idea.

[doublesmall]

Missed you a little less when your cookies got spread through the whole damn trial, maybe. I'll leave it to you to decide if that's because it was like you never left, or because it was a pain in my own ass.

[Both. The answer is both. Taako's getting a good look over as well, though Chuuya... says nothing about his appearance.

That's probably revenge for the cookies.]

An idea for what?

1/2

[chaoticlootral]

You guys ate those? Why did you eat strange unlabeled cookies from my room? Why did you go in my room at all? Seems like your own fault there, my guy.

[GIVE HIM HIS COMPLIMENT HE'S DEAD HE DESERVES IT.]

[chaoticlootral]

To get out! You heard about our options yet?
