but also (lavi voice) NOOOOOO... he hadn't been sure what to expect, because lavi is an idiot, so he kind of stands there for a moment when Tuuri embraces him,
and then he holds her back, just as tightly]
...Sorry, Tuuri.
[and not because he ended up in JAIL, but for everything else that's far more important, for the spectacle Tuuri had to be forced to endure from beginning to end, consequences spiraling from a choice someone else made for her,]
[It was humiliating, it was terrifying, and it was a nightmare of a weekend. But she's here on the other end of it, bouncing back and trying to be strong.
[Lavi looks just the same as always, though he's missing his bandanna this time. Good thing his bangs just flop over his eye patch. He loosens his grip too, gesturing for Tuuri to follow with a sweep of his arm.]
...Wish I was there to see you. [but, wishing won't change anything. that's the kind of sensible thing Tuuri would say, he thinks.
the smile on his face is fond as he leads the way, chattering away.]
I've got a bunch, but lemme show you where you can stay first. We don't get dorm rooms, so we've kind of had to scramble around... Though Ako and Chandra and Uriel seem to be fine just wandering around. Maybe it's cause they're gods and don't need to sleep?
I've been staying at the library. [not exactly the most comfortable of places... and while he thinks Tuuri's outdoors experience can help her settle down anywhere...]
Sometimes in one of the mouseholes at Gigantica. But I cleared up a place over at Memory Lane for ya. Oh, and there's also the resort over at Frosty Peak. It's another island that you guys haven't seen yet. It's a huge mountain, and it snows all the time over there.
[time to head on over!!! the village looks exactly the same as the one on the living side, and fortunately hei can't access this pc and rp graham]
You'd think so, but Ako doesn't visit me that often. He mostly just jumps out at me while I'm walking around, like some kind of gremlin. Don't tell him I said that.
Lavi squints down at her, unfortunately he can't read meta brackets even though I desperately want him to]
It's not only limited to me? He'll probably do the same to you. [the image of tuuri punching scaramouche is very funny though, and soothes him like chicken soup for the soul.
he'll raise his arm and point to one of the houses as it comes into view, i don't now what these houses really look like they're just basic animal crossing houses that Tuuri can personalize later if she wants? THERE ARE PROBABLY NO LOCKS ON THE DOOR THOUGH... he'll open said door and lead the way in,]
Here. I added some stuff ahead of time... Not sure if I got everything you might need though.
[there are the essentials? and also books! more importantly, there is a bed and probably a few comfy chairs.]
For you and Scaramouche's relationship, along with...I don't know everyone who is in your romantic grouping, but I'm sure they're all perfectly nice people.
[Scara is stinky but she will tolerate that stink.]
[She is starting to think she has made a mistake.]
...you call him by a nickname, you two always looked pretty close, and even though your interactions were a little weird sometimes it kind of seemed like awkward flirting to me?
[Lavi is possessed of a desire to understand Tuuri's incredible galaxy brain,]
It's really not like that. I call him Ako because he doesn't like the name Scaramouche. And... I really wouldn't say we're close? I'm just another human who he likes to boss around.
Also, he said someone cursed him that week when he was being all touchy during the boat race.
[Lavi thinks the flustering is cute. He is of the opinion that more people should praise Tuuri, because she deserves praise. Even if she is out here thinking he's dating Scaramouche.]
It's fine, I thought it was funny. [it's funny now that he's cleared it up.
that, and it was a nice moment of lightness, something to distract from the situation that they're on the other side, separate from the others, and now Tuuri is here too... he squeezes the arm that's linked with his,]
It's nice to get to talk to ya, without having to wait a whole day in between. And without our messages getting censored.
I think it probably has to do with spoilers? But I haven't figured it out either.
But it does make sense when I remember that this whole party thing is meant to be a show. Takes all the fun out of it if you guys knew about the other side.
Basically, those televisions at the bars where we can see you guys? It's for the other denizens too. Satan said that he wants to change things in hell, which is why he's made that whole second chance at life deal in the first place.
But to change things, he has to get the people here to like it enough that they'll allow it. What's more fun than giving us what we want most, and then seeing how we react to it?

I missed you.
no subject
Date: 2023-03-19 07:27 pm (UTC)...Missed you too. The library here doesn't feel the same without ya in it.
[And he thinks, if the circumstances were different, then Tuuri would have enjoyed seeing more locations.
...Maybe she still will? For a distraction, at least.]
Did Uri give you the grand tour yet?
no subject
Date: 2023-03-19 10:16 pm (UTC)Not really. I was pretty upset when I first arrived, so she helped calm me down.
So! Got something you want to show me?

Date: 2023-03-19 10:47 pm (UTC)Also she has no idea who Ako is but she'll ask later.]
Maybe! But I'm very much a human and need a bed. Where do we have to stay instead, if not the dorms?

no subject
Date: 2023-03-19 11:14 pm (UTC)Of course you have. Scaramouche must be annoyed when he visits you there.
[But hmm....choices, choices...]
We might as well go see the place at Memory Lane, if that's what you picked out for me already.

Date: 2023-03-20 12:58 am (UTC)[Tuuri supports polyamory, good for you Lavi.
No locked doors on the house is fine though, it's not like there's much here she needs to hide, or hide from. A one-room house suits her just fine.]
I think all of this should be good for now, I brought a few things with me too. Thank you, Lavi.
no subject
Date: 2023-03-20 01:07 am (UTC)Right... why are you happy for me again?
[he will accept 'happy to see you again, talk to you again, hang out again' but what is TUURI HAPPY FOR??? HE'S THE MATH MEME LADY]
