week zero, sunday

[bookpapers]

[the way i harassed u on the mingle and now i'm also here,

anyway where are they (spins wheel) the communal kitchen ig, lavi is opening the fridge, hm]

You think they're gonna eat us?

[hello?]

[toyska]

[stuffs yaywon threads in my cheeks like a squirrel

Also Childe's probably got at least one bruise on his face. So. There's that. He doesn't seem bothered by it. The question makes him laugh, even though it probably shouldn't because at this point nothing is really off the table,,,]

Maybe, but they probably changed their mind after how we behaved yesterday.

week 0, friday

[toyska]

[WHY IS THERE A DEAD PERSON. THEY'RE ALREADY ALL DEAD. WHAT DOES THIS TEXT EVEN MEAN.

Whenever they cross paths, Childe just kind of. Lifts his phone to gesture to it.]

Do you know what this is all about?

[bookpapers]

[SOMEONE OUT THERE JUST HATES REDHEADS AND THAT SOMEONE IS ELI

he shakes his head,]

I'm kinda leaning towards 'prank' right now. Like they're testing out some of the torture they promised.

[...]

That and my other theory, which is it's still torture, but it's real.

week 0 saturday

[bookpapers]

[THEY'RE GETTING FOOD i can't decide which terrible fast food place but it's one of them,

Lavi's hunched in one of the booths, eating a couple of fries. He waves at Childe when he sees them, though it takes a moment for him to chew --]

Hey. Sorry about the knife. Felt pressed for time when I found the shoes... So I forgot about it like an idiot.

[toyska]

[Childe waves back, moving to join him.]

Don't worry about it, it's not your fault. I didn't ask you to check for the gun anyway. [I FUCKIN DID BUT DENISE SAID NO but it's fine this is still IC] I assumed we'd be looking at the knife too.

[And they'd narrowed in on Bucky by that point anyway--the fucking gun nonsense was just the confirmation cherry on top. He sighs, rubbing his forehead.] I'm not used to this kind of thing.

[Normally he's the one doing the stabbing...]

week 1 monday

[bookpapers]

[i just think love potioned lavi having a crush on childe while walking through the corn maze is so funny, he doesn't understand because he thinks he's het but he's happy to be here with a buddy!! yay!!!]

Think you can find the exit if I boost you up?

[they're PROBABLY LOST TOO]

[toyska]

[I can't believe we're gonna get canceled by tumblr

BUT HERE THEY ARE IN A CORN MAZE Childe has never been in a corn maze in his wholeass life but he does go dungeon crawling so mazes in general aren't that new??? (they're not the same thing) IT'S FINE.]

What, bored already? [He's joking]

week 1, let's say late tuesday or early wednesday

[toyska]

[HI LAVI Childe will come track him down at some point!! He's got some minor cuts and bruises but at this point is that unusual? No]

Got a minute?

can't believe they hang out the entire night in between

[bookpapers]

[STOP MY CHILDE

Lavi looks him over with a sort of ? this is familiar of childe but also, what day is it again]

...You run into somethin'?

[IS IT... MINI CYOA?]

week 1, saturday

[toyska]

[HELLO LAVI... that sure was. Hm. THAT SURE WAS A TRIAL. Childe's probably here to get himself some food tbh, or maybe to make something for someone else--but if Lavi's already here, he'll come over to say hi.]

Doing okay?

[bookpapers]

[make something for someone else.... explain the ship to me right now

Lavi's got some in front of him already, seated at the table.]

My bruises are killing me.

[is that too soon]

week two, monday

[bookpapers]

[im gonna run at ur mingle toplevel too teehee

anyway lavi's somewhere in the pleasure district and now childe is too!!! he's just walking around yeah!!! though if childe sees him then he'll notice that Lavi's sporting a new accessory as he gingerly walks down the street, one hand on the building for support.

it's a blindfold. i promise this isn't kinky]

[toyska]

[I'M

He just kind of. Stops and stares.]

Lavi?

w2, thursday

[toyska]

[BELATEDLY DROPKICKS YOU

Anyway after Lavi and co. have returned to life, he will come visit Lavi first!! WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE LAD is he good is he dead again what's going on]

[bookpapers]

[STOP DON'T DROPKICK ME

Lavi is inside his room, hands wrapped around his hammer. Bandages are peeking out from his right collarbone, otherwise he looks fine! healthy! happy....? not very happy, he looks distant. There's blood under his nose, kind of smeared around.

He looks up when he hears Childe's footsteps.]

Hey.

w2, saturday

[toyska]

[DROPKICKS YOU INTO THE VOID............

Anyway Childe is here to come visit him in jail... he brought some liquor and two glasses!! Idk what kind don't ask me but it's stronger than beer and weaker than fire-water.

He holds it up in offering when he comes inside; is Lavi up for a drink?]

[bookpapers]

[DON'T DROPKICK ME

Lavi looks surprised at the glass, but he reaches out to accept it.]

...Thanks.

[he'll hold it in his little goofy pawsies, then hold it up if Childe wants to clink cups...]

week five, saturday

[bookpapers]

[WELL AFTER LAVI ELECTROCUTES DEMONS...

he'll finish the drink Childe made him, thanks bro.]

[toyska]

[FUCKING HELP

Idly:]

Feel better?

w6, saturday

[toyska]

[LAVI FLEES FAST BUT CHILDE IS FASTER BECAUSE HE'S NOT INJURED!!! LAVI!!!!!!! Childe also just immediately follows him out, I'm so sorry to Tuuri specifically who is having a tiny breakdown over them catching Mephisto]

Lavi, slow down.

[bookpapers]

[LAVI REALLY RAN OUT WHILE INJURED EVERYWHERE, also damb why is childe so fast... this would reawaken the Bloodlust but fortunately for lavi the effect doesn't kick in again,

he does stop at the sound of his name, trying to ignore the fact that he looks like a crazy injured person out here on the Streets. now that he's no longer guobified, it's clear that he's in a bad state, but the expression on his face is almost akin to fear as Childe gets closer,]

Don't.

[DON'T COME ANY CLOSER (kdrama voice)]

I wanted to kill you back there.

week seven, tuesday

[bookpapers]

[jumpscares you with this starter

the city's open and technically lavi has way more food options to choose from now, real food that's not the usual weird hell fare!!! but he still pops up at Childe's place every morning to have breakfast with him anyway. he's like this inquisitive doge who comes by to get fed....

he's mid-bite when the screen suddenly materializes out of nowhere? and he looks up and breaks Childe's cardinal rule of not eating when you're talking,]

-- What the?

[toyska]

[STOP THAT'S NOT CHILDE'S CARDINAL RULE THAT'S LAN WANGJI'S!!!! But Childe, too, is caught off-guard--his brow furrows as he looks at the screen, probably also halfway through breakfast...]

What-- this again?

[But he doesn't really have time to react, since it's his memory that starts to play first... (the first 5 minutes of this bc I can't find them anywhere else rip)]

week 7, saturday

[toyska]

[AT SOME POINT after all the endgame talk gets sorted and people have begun to disperse, he'll go find Lavi!!]

Hey.

[bookpapers]

[sweet Childe!! Lavi's shed his tie and jacket from the party, though he's just walking along the city streets, sort of meandering along. He blinks up at the sound of Childe's voice and gives him a wave,]

Hey yourself. Can you believe people were still partying when we left?

[LIKE ALL THOSE NPCS THAT IM PRESUMABLY ASSUMING WERE ALSO AROUND]
