week zero, sunday

[bookpapers]

[hi four are you still in this room you share with two people

knocks on the door!!!]

[forefall]

[ give her a second to open the door. four is perhaps in a better mood because she is no longer in hot pink inmate clothing. ]

Yes?

[bookpapers]

[sweet four, imagine i said lavi showed up in his hot pink outfit... no, he's in the last layer of his uniform, which is just a tank top and shorts + leggings, i hate dgm. he perks up when he sees her though, and gives a little wave]

Hey, I was just curious to see who's where.

I'm Lavi, by the way. Sorry I didn't introduce myself back then.

week zero, monday

[forefall]

[ it's time to be a nerd in the library.

four is walking through the shelves, as if she isn't sure where she should start first. she says, under her breath: ]

What would impress One the most?

[bookpapers]

[nerds in the library! nerds watching other nerds in the library! though it's not on purpose purpose... but Lavi's path really does neatly intersect Four's.




He sticks his head through an empty shelf to greet her,]

Who's One?

week zero, saturday

[bookpapers]

[WHERE ARE THEY i'll void us, but wherever Four is walking, she'll probably hear... screaming...

if she goes closer, she'll see Lavi! hands around his mouth! shouting into the dark sky!! there are no words, it's just indescribable yelling]

[forefall]

[ they can void. four is pacing all the energy the trial built up in her. otherwise, it just has no where to go and that's maybe bad.

she follows the shouting to find him and waits until he's done. unless he takes a while to be done. ]

week one, tuesday

[forefall]

[ we're at the corn.... we're at the maze..... we're at the combination corn maze. four is lost! somehow. somewhere deep inside.

she projects her voice: ]

Hello? Is anyone there?

[ a pause, and then a quiet but almost desperate: ]

Marco?

[ marco polo was born after her time in an alternate timeline, and the game waaaay after, but some modern playground games inexplicably are named in dod3, so this is stupidly allowed. ]

[bookpapers]

[jumpscaring four is becoming a pattern.... also google tells me that the game is after lavi's time too, help. punches dgm for not giving me marco polo

thankfully, lavi can be just as dumb as he always is even without this knowledge, in that he suddenly rounds the corner with absolutely no preemptive warning except for his muffled, eerie footsteps --]

Who's Marco?

week one, friday

[bookpapers]

[WHERE'S OUR FOUR!!!

Wherever she is, Lavi will head towards her direction. He's wearing his full Exorcist ensemble today, complete with scarf.]

Hey. I heard from Nameless -- Micah, that he was with Eto at the bookstore last night.

[forefall]

[ whoa, his serious ensemble. four's in her canon outfit, too, which she'll wash for tomorrow since she'll wear it to trial, too. four can be found in the (spins wheel) planetarium, looking at the stars as if that can calm her down. ]

Micah? Is that his name now?

[ she frowns, as she turns to look at lavi. ]

At least we have a starting point.

week one, saturday

[bookpapers]

[WAILS AND CRIES

he's walking in with a couple of bags,]

Hey, Clover. I brought food.

[forefall]

[ STOP CRYING

hello? this actually shocks four out of her insane mood. ]

What?

week three, monday

[bookpapers]

[they're stuck in a HOLE in one of the giant's houses in gigantica, Lavi barely has time to blink before the memory starts -- (first person or third person it's up to you sweet ara,)

the people are real as anything, the water Lavi kicks up with every strike is real too -- the screams from every person he cuts his knife into are as well, even if the darkness stretching in every distance makes it all seem a bit like a dream... a blade enters Lavi's chest the exact moment his comrades stab him, and it's enough to make him fall to his knees. he can't speak, but he doesn't have to. words are spoken for him instead, in his voice. himself, sneering down at him, but not him.

"a better version. the proper version." he thinks. "one superior to me in every way."

and lavi closes his eyes, the memory ending as darkness overwhelms him.]

[forefall]

[ THIS ISN'T THAT LONG AT ALL. also, third person is good for the lavi meta. the multiple lavis.

she watches the memory with a neutral expression. it's a conflict four can and can't understand. she represses her feelings and tries to be rational for a variety of reasons, in order to be a version of herself she wants to be, in order to be a version of herself she thinks her sisters want. ]

How much of the you that you've shown in Hell has been genuine, Lavi? How much of it has been an act?

week four, tuesday

[bookpapers]

[gimme another pc ara... they're here on animal kingdom island!! maybe sweet four was minding her own business, but now Lavi's in her vicinity. he has a pair of sunglasses on his head and another one in his hands.]

Hey, Clover. I just passed by an ice cream shop. [real ice cream....] Wanna get some?

[forefall]

[ i will give you every pc you want.

she seems unsure when he comes over to her. ]

Are you sure you want to go with me?

week five, monday

[forefall]

[ spins wheel they're at the resort, and four is looking around. she opens a supply closet and frowns. ]

I could have used this five weeks ago.

[bookpapers]

[lavi peeps into the closet from behind her,]

I think that's the first regular-sized broom I've seen here.

[everything else was just gigantic...]

week five, saturday

[forefall]

[ this can be after he gets his aggression out on all the demons. she waits until he calms down a bit.

she can wait as long as it takes. ]

Did that make you feel better?

[bookpapers]

[He's move to outside the bar now, just breathing in the air a little. but at the question, he laughs -- a little hollow,]

...I'd be lying if I said it didn't.

week seven, monday

[bookpapers]

[the sun is just about to set on the city, hopefully four had a great day today mingling with all the once-dead!!!

that's lavi's hope at least, which is why he'll approach her as soon as he spots her,]

Hey, Clover. You doing okay? You're all healed up now, right?

[cyoa was saturday but look, he will Ask First especially since he still has a sling and bandages,]

[forefall]

[ lmao. lol.

it wasn't the worst day, but it also wasn't the best day. she is more or less healed. there is some some skin that's still healing up under bandages but her clothes all cover that up, so who's to say? ]

It could be better.

[ she looks at his sling and bandages. ]

You should have asked someone to kill you.

[ thinks about how it's all murderous villains or righteous archangels or gods of darkness or the underworld so no one has healing powers and laughs ]

week seven, saturday

[bookpapers]

[heading over to wherever Four is!! once he's close enough he'll offer his arm out to her.... escort....]

Hey, Clover. You heading back?

[forefall]

[ she takes his arm after a moment of hesitation. ]

More or less.

[ at least, heading out of satan's house. ]

It's better than staying here.
