week 0, monday

[RNG set this as post-fight so Childe can be found with bruises, a notable bonk on his head, and his arm secured in his red scarf sash thingy as a makeshift sling, but he seems to be in perfectly fine spirits and greets Ace with a wave with his good hand. What a weirdo.]

Holding up okay, comrade? [SHOULDN'T HE BE ASKING YOU THAT]

[selfimmolation]

[ raising a hand back in greeting and unfortunately he is shonen so he. he gets it. he gets it. ]

Hey! You look like you had a good fight.

[toyska]

[THERE ARE TOO MANY SPAR-HAPPY LUNATICS IN THIS GAME, OH NO. Unfortunately this is a great response for Childe.]

Ahaha, I usually do with him! It's hard to beat a few hundred years of experience. He must've been in a good mood today, I usually have to provoke him. [DON'T JUST SAY THAT]

[selfimmolation]

He doesn't usually want to fight you? I thought at least a fight would be one of his hobbies.

[ scaramouche do you really not do anything but brood hatefully in the dark ace is dying ]

[toyska]

He doesn't like to do anything he knows I'd enjoy.

[Unfortunately Childe is fucking impossible to deal with because he delights in attempts to kick his ass, but if you don't even try then he will just continue to be annoying forever... he wins either way]

week 0, sunday 2

[selfimmolation]

[ wow here we are in the airport......... somewhere ]

So. How's this compare to hell? [ it's not a fully serious question he's just TIRED ]

[toyska]

[HANGING OUT IN OUR THREE ROOMS... maybe they're in the relaxation room idk]

Well, ours took place on a stage, so there was never any doubt we were watching a spectacle. But we were allowed to leave after it started.

[selfimmolation]

Same here. Well, it wasn't a stage, but it was broadcast all over the city, and we didn't have to watch.

[ big show ... non mandatory... what a thing to have in common ]

[toyska]

[


Okay yeah Childe will just say it]

Your situation sounds more like hell than ours does.

[selfimmolation]

[ heh, ]

At least our drinks didn't have side effects?

[ NO IT WAS HELL. IT WAS. HE AGREES. ]

week 1, friday

[toyska]

[ACE... WE'VE LOST ANOTHER JOCK... WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!!!

Childe, probably unsurprisingly, is not that upset--he just looks a little tired as he wanders the halls, stopping to nod at Ace.]

Two this time, huh.

[selfimmolation]

[ ace is mostly Angy instead of upset because if all your emotions are processed as anger it's easier (no) but outside of looking tense and restless he's hiding it well. it helps to know they are not permadead but STILL what the FUCK!!! this is jock AND mage abuse ]

It was two at this time my last game, too.

[ sometimes ... week 1... is bad ]

[toyska]

Really? Wow. We only had one.

[DON'T MAKE IT A COMPARISON]

[selfimmolation]

People got trigger happy, I guess.

[ more than in hell... damn... ]

[toyska]

Mm. Well, those of us in hell were alive at some point.

[Everybody starts somewhere?]

Week 2, Monday

[toyska]

[RNG assigned this thread as baby AU but it does not have to be if you do not wish!! Just lmk and he will poof back to adult next tag

But for now this 14-year-old is here!! He is staring at the shrimp mascot outside of Shrimp Heaven Now like ??????? though luckily he's too afraid of whatever is happening here to be within "get bonked by the sign" range. Probably? Remains to be seen.]

[selfimmolation]

[ EVERYONE IS BABY it's fine ace loves kids. and this is clearly childe so it's. a little funny. ]

Hey--you looking for something?

[ like an escape route from evil shrimp ]

[toyska]

[Baby AU best AU...

He jumps when Ace calls out to him, and then looks between him and the mascots with big eyes... HELP...]

[selfimmolation]

Don't worry, I've got you.

[ the best way to distract a shrimp mascot is ... to... throw a bunch of shrimp at him so he can only defend himself!!!!!!!!!

(is that accurate.) ]

[toyska]

[WELL

SURE!!! WHY NOT. THIS WORKS. The blueberry takes advantage of the mascot's confusion to scamper away, hiding behind Ace.]

week 3, monday

[selfimmolation]

[ i dont know where we are and i am not doing set ups look it's windy and there's some kinda fight man i hope these links work ]

[toyska]

[HELP ME YOU'RE SO VALID they worked!!!!! And Childe, naturally, is extremely interested in all of this. Pretending this isn't happening is futile regardless, but for a memory like this, he's fully engaged; living every moment of battle, even the defeat.

Also it took me like 20 minutes to hunt down this but I had to.

When it ends, he smiles, a touch nostalgic. Damn. World's most relatable memory, anyone?]

It really is a shame we can't face off at full strength.

[selfimmolation]

[ honestly the part that's embarrassing about this memory isn't the defeat it's the reminder of how ace was being tsun at his dad

but he still laughs at childe's reaction ]

I wish we could go all out. Sort of feels like playing with a handicap these days. [ he has one eye and a literal handicap, but. ] I'd almost forgotten how that one went down.

[toyska]

[That's so fair and valid]

Was it a long time ago?

[selfimmolation]

Couple of years? I was a little punk back then.
