[RNG set this as post-fight and Childe is tragically still alive... he's bruised and has one arm secured in his scarf, but otherwise he seems fine. He even greets Strohl with a laugh.]
[He waves a hand, apparently unbothered. Life would be easier for everyone if he felt embarrassed by anything, at all, ever.]
Grace is irrelevant in a true life-or-death situation. Moves like that are exactly why I enjoy fighting him--though admittedly it's not the same when we aren't at full strength.
[Sometimes a guy has several hundred years' worth of experience over you and isn't afraid to use it]
No need to worry! It'd take far more than that to do me in.
[ pixi i lost you so many times last week week 0 is hell.
anyway if childe swings by the simulation room, he might be treated to a cool sight - which is this big ass thing. it's like seven or eight feet tall and wielding a fucking massive sword against a just unreasonably beautiful man. the guy occasionally says stock lines an npc would say, but apparently the VR is doing its purpose, because the huge suit of armor thing is breathing hard as he tests out different attack patterns against the beautiful and clearly very strong guy with utter determination. did i mention the npc is beautiful.
anyway at some point he'll realize he has company, and both the big suit of magic armor and the NPC stop moving, the former breathing hard as the magic suit abruptly disappears, leaving behind strohl, who wipes his mouth, and then gives childe a sup nod. h...ey. ]
[WE ARE ALL JUST DOING OUR BEST IN THIS WILD WORLD AAAAAAA
But yes, Childe is definitely a big fan of the Simulation Room!!! Probably surprising no one, he's in here almost as much as he's been hanging out in the snow... truly this is a great week to be Childe.
He watches the fight with interest from back near the door, not interrupting--once Strohl finishes up and reveals himself, Childe greets him with a friendly wave.]
[WE ARE JUST IN THE VOID UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED. MY GOD. MEMSHARE WEEK.
Here is my list, so let me know if you have any preferences or if you would like me to choose for us! Also let me know if you have any CWs or anything along those lines SMOOCHES.
For your end if you have a specific memory you want to give me go ahead and kick us off, otherwise I will! I do plan to play metaphor at some point so something less spoilery would be perfect, looking at your list I'd choose either Awaken or The Portrait but if you prefer I can choose something else!!]
[ oh awaken is perfect! also i laughed so bad at the goose being on here but give me something to build us some cr! something juicy!!!
on my end - childe got to see strohl use his archetype once, which means we are IN THE VOID and a wind blows... to a memory! (to 4:20) (haha blaze it) ]
For now, though, it's Childe's turn to watch this--which he does, not even bothering to pretend to respectfully look away once he sees it's not, like, blatant personal torture or something.
Also can I just say the microphone moment destroyed me I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. WHAT IS THIS GAME!!!!!
Anyway, once it ends, he tilts his head slightly.]
he is conscious! is he crazy...? hard to say. can you imagine i tagged this and was like he's gu yun
anyway. no he's here, all bandaged up and in a comfy fit, and he's got this on his chest, where he's just kind of fiddling with it. when the door opens to the clinic, he glances over and gives a little sup nod. ]
[LFMDKSJGHDKSG NOT JUST BECOMING GU YUN HELP ME!!!!
Childe looks at what he's holding, but doesn't ask questions for now, more concerned with checking to make sure he's not gonna die before they even make it to curfew.]
Most of them? Not great. [JUST, HONESTLY] But they're holding up alright. What about you?
i'm full of joy. strohl is not! in fact, he's strohl's sitting at one of the bars (i have barely read the locations so if all the bars are horrible thats on me) with a half empty ale in one hand - the bags under his eyes are especially pronounced after all that and looks a little bit like a mess, clearly exhausted. however, he does seem stable, at least?
though he's sitting and rubbing his temples, when he hears footsteps, he glances up, and... tiredly raises his ale in a greeting. ]
[AAAAAAA A DAY FULL OF SNISI HOUSE CRIMES!!!!! M FOR METAPHOR
It wasn't hard to miss to Strohl going through it once trial ended, and unlike the other superhells, Childe is sometimes capable of a modicum of tact. Between that, the long-awaited reunion with a dear friend, and Childe's own concern for Kate, it was an easy choice to let Strohl process his emotions in peace.
But he does want to at least come say hello properly since he elected not to go greet him upon arrival, so eventually he will come track him down.]
childe.... im so proud of you. though he does indeed look very tired, he is doing a little better. there's a little bit of a huff, wry, and he reaches out to nudge the stool next to him over with his foot if he wants to sit. ]
Something like that. [ booze is helping. ] My head's pounding, but I suppose that's to be expected.
[ i have no energy for a creative starter today but if childe comes by the ranch at some point today for some fresh air, he will find leon strohl da haliaetus, noble son of halia...
....milking a cow. plopped onto a stool, truly just. in the zone? maybe? like he clearly knows what he's doing since the cow's not trying to eat him or anything. it is a ridiculous sight because he has his sword on his back but you know.]

No sparring rooms so far, huh? Gotta say I'm a little disappointed.

Not like you really need a room to scuffle, right?
no subject
Not at all, but it's always nice to have a range of tools to work with! Especially if they're going to take our abilities away.

Had a good time?
no subject
anyway. the wave gets him to relax a bit - he nods his head, reaching behind him to sheathe his shield. ]
Useful thing, isn't it? Nice to get some practice in. [ with fighting this Extremely Lovely Man. ] Sorry, did you want it, Childe? Don't mean to hog.

week 2 monday
anyway it's monday week 2! childe gets to witness a moment before disaster, which is that he'll hear a -- ]
-- Don't you dare! [ and then a SPLASH
and if he looks up at the aquarium, he'll see strohl jr. swimming around in a tank full of tropical fish. there he goes. ]
no subject
Anyway THERE HE GOES... NOT THE SPLASH OF A CRIMINAL!!!]
It's not going to eat them, is it?

[ BE NICE TO YOUR SON
strohl jr is happily doggie paddling having now soaked his father and chasing fishies. ]
