W6 💤 BALLROOM (ANTI)BLITZ

[dropoffs]

[ hello. welcome to ballroom. we really appreciate you coming!! the doors are locked and the whole gang's here. "including baiken?" yeah! senior crew as well.

the current set-up of this ballroom seems to have been split off into three separate spaces.

the first space is the party space! it…weirdly looks like what you'd almost expect from a high school prom? it's fancy decor, beautiful decorations, and all of the food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) you could ever want. somehow there's a purikura booth set up as well for some cute photo ops, and there are plenty of tables, chairs, and floor space for anyone who wants to dance or play party games with your friends. we have an hour, go nuts.

the second space is a little less intensive, decorated with beanbag chairs and couches. a large projection screen is on the wall to stream movies, and there are a few library books for your perusal, along with some board games. this is the zone for those looking for something a little more chill.

finally, there is a cute little glamping set-up (not entirely photo accurate) with mattresses, blankets, and pillows. you may have to share a bed with a friend, but it's better than the floor, right? stake your claim and get cozy. we're in for a long night. ]

[ he has done NONE crimes wow except like... (muffled noises) but no one was using those and he needed them more! anyways. just takes his hand and holds it, but does look down with a gentle concern. ]

This...

[ wetware covers so much, he just. gently looks this crystal over with a little tug of concern on his mouth. ]

How's it feeling lately...?

[caretake]

Nothing fairly new for myself.

[ yes Exarch, do be a bit obscure about it. at least he realizes it as it's looked over. ]

It should remain in a bit of a stasis so long as my time period back home remains still. So should call for no concern in the meantime.

[ fingers curl a little, peering up at him. red gaze soft, aiming for a reassuring look despite knowing it will not offer much. ]

...I'll be fine for now.

[bulls]

[ hi hello he hates "for now." ]

We can speak further... when we're not in so much company.

[ about This in particular. but he isn't going to drag down an already anxiety-inducing night where they are all waiting for the sleep to take them.

he does look back at him, and it's with tired eyes of his own that want to do something. anything. helplessness is a feeling he's all too used to and he's had enough of it. always had enough of it. he can and will die for these things.

he does reach into the one of his cargo pants pockets and pulls out a little tin, non-descript. just slips it gently into his robe. there. ]

For the aches. Okay?

[caretake]

[ everyone having to suffer as exarch just summarizes it Like That. ]

Somewhere more private another time then.

[ a promise, for artemy's sake. just to ensure exarch doesn't intend to run away from or hide from it. though as he meets that tired gaze, he offers a sympathetic smile. a hint of that sorrow and offers a gentle kiss to his jaw. there, there sweet cow. everything will be alright in time.

that's always at least that kind of hope for these things. otherwise he will accept this little tin and hold onto it safely in his robes. ]

...Thank you. I'll keep it in mind.

[bulls]

[ there's a very somber look, but wow a jaw kiss he doesn't know what to do except give him a warm forehead press to forehead press. gentle nuzzle, you have been here with them since day 0 it is impossible to get him to care Less about this.

that's his dumb cat and so help him he's going to take care of his stupid ass. ]

Do more than that or I will shake you enough to make you sound like a wind chime, so help me.

[caretake]

[ Forehead against forehead, the corner of his red eyes crinkling with a bit of warm mirth. Though ears flick back with little swishes of his tail at that nuzzle. Yes, none of this really surprises him but he's still taken by that gentleness.

HELP. Poor bull really is so used to keeping an eye on this cat from before and during this tour. There's a soft chuckle. ]

Take heart, I do not wish to cause you any more worry than you already hold. I'll do more, Artemy.

[bulls]

As in care for yourself not take on more work mind you.

[ immediate while being like if i burrito this cat tightly will he stay out of trouble until endgame? signs point to unlikely. just get face held with a very stern but caring look. a little shred of a petal hangs on his lip. it's very pathetic and small. ]

Worrying is in my nature, you will never see me stop.

[caretake]

I will do more to take care of myself.

[ It may be unlikely but hey,he will at least reassure in more exact words. A promise! He does not mind this face holding, bringing one hand to gently rub at one of Artemy's own. ]

...I too will worry in the very much same way so I cannot fault you for it. [ With his other hand, gingerly reaches up to brush a thumb over his lips. Just to pluck that sad little small petal away. ]
