week 0, sunday

[katzepaw]

[after the meet and greet, hanging out on the beach, if only to avoid the boat for a little longer. he's got his cat and he's wearing the absolutely grossest coat you have ever seen despite how it is completely inappropriate for the weather.]

...Hallo.

[bangforyourboo]

[ Because it isn't a murdergame without pets everywhere, Belle happens to be passing by with this guy plodding alongside her on their stroll. She at least gives pause when spotting Caleb, regarding him with mild surprise. ]

... Hey. Did something happen to you?

[katzepaw]

[caleb is ambivalent about all non-cat pets, I'm afraid.]

Happen to me?

[what could have happened, he's just depressed and wearing a nasty hobo coat, as you do.]

[bangforyourboo]

[ valid of him ]

Yeah? You look kinda—roughed up there.

[ your clothes, sir. ]

[katzepaw]

Not roughed up. Just got my clothes. A little tattered, but I prefer them. I know where all the pockets are.

[bangforyourboo]

[ .... after remembering his suit was also a damn mess: ]

Oh! Oh, my bad, I... uh, nevermind that! I guess you're peachy, then! Enjoying the view with—your friend there?

[katzepaw]

This is Frumpkin.

[frumpkin meows. anyway, he doesn't seem to think anything of her nervousness. or maybe he's just used to people thinking he's a mess and doesn't care anymore.]

Getting my bearings. What do you make of all this?

week 0, monday

[katzepaw]

[happy monday! caleb is dressed completely inappropriately for the weather in a heavy coat that is dirty, including with fresh wet sand on the hem. his previously laundered bandages and nice hair is also now dirty with sand. yay! but he has his cat on his shoulder.

he is currently in the TV room, watching an episode of MILF Manor.]

Ah, so this is what television is. I understand now.

[bangforyourboo]

[ She’s probably wondered at some point if this man ever showers, but for now and more importantly: ]

For better or worse. This sure is a choice.

[katzepaw]

[despite my jokes he doesn't really smell bad although the coat probably does.]

A choice? There are other programs?

[bangforyourboo]

A billionty more others! Though, I guess most of them would still be pretty bad...

[katzepaw]

Oh boy. A billionty, and all bad? Concerns me about our future here.

[bangforyourboo]

Nuh-uh, not on my watch. The programming may be bad, but I'm not about to let you get away without watching a few good movies!

week 1, monday

[katzepaw]

[caleb can be found in the market, morosely pondering an orb. he has a different coat on, but it's pulled close around him. still, his bandaged arms are peeking out. they're covered in a glowing pattern that peeks through the bandages, but the random geometric pattern almost seems to read a word: Una. whatever that means.

he's trying to cover that, but misses the text that appears on his other forearm in black ink that glows green through the bandaged parts: Asylum Escapee]

[bangforyourboo]

[ She opens her mouth to greet him, but stops herself short when briefly looking him up and down instead. ]

Hey, uh... You're kind of—glowing?

[katzepaw]

Ah. I, I know.

[covering his arm bandages a little, but it doesn't really help.]

[bangforyourboo]

[ welp. ]

Do you think something else would cover them up better?

[katzepaw]

Um... nothing seems to be working well.

[his arms are fully bandaged, after all. he'll roll his coat sleeves over them, but it still shines through.]

[bangforyourboo]

Oh. Great...

Well, if those words are made up, at least you could say that if anyone asks. The lines don't look like anything bad, at least!

week 4, monday

[katzepaw]

[he is in the library! math lady meme figures and animal crossing flowers bloom above his head as he reads.]

[bangforyourboo]

[ aw. a guy in his element. ]

I take it the selection in here is good?

[katzepaw]

Yeah, though the Lemon library is no slouch, either. I quite like the selection, but it's nothing like being able to peruse yourself.

[bangforyourboo]

I bet. You're not the only one who wanted to grab some books! It's too bad we couldn't open it up to everybody.

[katzepaw]

Not your fault. Everyone was generous in bringing me what I wanted, anyway.

[bangforyourboo]

Oh, good! I'm glad then. I'm surprised I never see you at our dorm lounging around with some books all day.
