catchall; gideon

[toyska]

I want you to know that on my journey to find a shitpost I learned what "pumpkin pounder" means

Comments

week 0, monday

[toyska]

[UNSTOPPABLE BESTIES MEET AGAIN. Pickerwheel.com says they are in the clothing stores, which is very funny. Childe is just making his icon face tbh

Also his mini Seelie is still here, following him around. It's vibin. It doesn't care about sexy school uniforms.]

None of these are any good for battle. [Childe.]

[cavaliered]

[sorry what the FUCK is a pumpkin pounder

anyway this works out nicely because gideon is wandering around behind him with her nose in her phone, and as he speaks, she scoffs and shoves it in her pocket for a minute. she's bare faced today, but she is wearing her sunglasses because it's bright as hell in here, pun intended.]

What? [a beat.] Oh, yeah. I gave up on finding anything that isn't made for fucking like, an hour ago.

week 0, friday

[toyska]

[WELL. THIS SURE IS A THING THAT HAPPENED.

We can be wherever--Childe will approach whenever he sees her.]

Are you alright?

[cavaliered]

[she's probably just absently wandering. she does startle when he approaches - goes for her belt. or rather, she goes for her back, and then switches mid grab and goes for her hip to find nothing there.

a beat.]

-- Fine. You? [she's got her full skull paint and sunglasses on, tense, but she's not injured.]

week 0, sunday

[toyska]

[just camps out in your inbox apparently

IF ONLY THEY COULD SPAR AWAY THE NIGHTMARE THAT IS THIS PLACE ALL DAY EVERY DAY, THOUGH. It helped yesterday, and he'll be down for it today if she needs it, but for now, he's bringing over two cups of shitty restaurant tea and holding one out to her.]

Maybe all of that will cancel out the temptation of murder for a few people.

[cavaliered]

[staples you to it

god, she misses literally anything having to do with fighting. she'd had a good time with it last night - but today, she's less angry. she's just sprawled out, staring at the wall. she'll take the tea though.]

What, the threat of your deepest most inner traumas being thrown out in the meat dimension? Maybe.

week 1, saturday

[toyska]

[WELL. That was. That was a lot. Childe is, quite frankly, ambivalent toward Four, and he barely knew Eto; but he is very fond of Gideon. He lingers behind at the trial bar, but soon enough he will come check on her.]

Hey.

[cavaliered]

[the funny thing is, she's also pretty ambivalent towards four - she liked her, four was nice to her. but four killed eto. and, well.

gideon really liked eto.]

Hey. [he can find her at one of the various bars, actually. she is Drinking.]

w1; SUNDAY

[cavaliered]

[wherever he is in the gym, she flops down next to him, and pushes a to-go cup of shitty beer against his chest. she's watching him closely, yellow eyes bright and alert.]

Hey.

[toyska]

[HE IS. Here. He's here! He's got his jacket off, folded neatly to the side; the punching bag is slowly swaying, the way it does when someone's just finished using it. The Mini Seelie is off in a corner doing twirls in the mirror.

Childe himself is seated; he's looking down at his phone with an oddly blank expression. If he notices her come in, he doesn't acknowledge it--he only blinks and looks up when she pushes the drink at him, and just like that, his expression shifts back to normal.

...Well. As normal as it gets when you have no light in your eyes.

He puts the phone aside and takes the drink with a nod of thanks.]

Is it over?

w2; MONDAY

[cavaliered]

[i'm just gonna say they're walking around subnutica and gideon is arguing, as usual:]

Okay, but fishing can't be that difficult. You what, throw a string and they bite it, problem solved.

[toyska]

[Truly the funniest thing in the world is that you'd really think Childe would be exactly like her but he's out here fussing

ANYWAY]

You'd be surprised! The big ones can put up a tough fight. [(teucer voice) one time my brother caught a LEVIATHAN] The hardest part is the patience, though. It can take hours before you get any bites.

w2, saturday

[toyska]

[WELL HERE THEY ARE........ JUST ANOTHER SATURDAY IN HELL. Although this one is definitely worse than the last two.

Childe left shortly after trial with a bottle of booze, but eventually he'll be back, booze-less. He looks tired, unsurprisingly, but he will at least come check on her, or they can be back in the room idk WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO.]

[cavaliered]

[ROOM WORKS, it just means that he gets extremely drunk gideon just laying on the floor. she's on her back staring up at the ceiling in the middle of the millions of weapons, very funny.]

w3, monday or tuesday

[toyska]

[Gideon gets a memory with a hot lady "that's not the point of this memory" yes it is

WHICH IS TO SAY--they have probably gone off to investigate the new island?? Or maybe they're just dicking around or sparring or whatever else two redheaded idiots do on a Monday. Either way, the ground falls out beneath them eventually; A memory begins to play behind them before Childe can speak one way or the other.

Well. Hm. Could've been worse, at least.]

[cavaliered]

[probably exploring the new island and dicking around, that's kind of just gideon's whole thing. but the ground falls out, and gideon just SIGHS, but. they have to watch it, so she does.

when it's over, she takes a deep breath. that's - unsettlingly familiar.]

Warriors do not say I can't. [she repeats.] Sounds like shit Aiglamene would've said.

w3, saturday

[toyska]

[Gideon's dating pool is shrinking by the day

Which is exactly what Childe says as they hang out in their room--no jk. He did snag a bottle of booze from the trial bar, though; whenever they both get back to the room, he holds it out in offering, just in case she is Stressed and Depressed.]

[cavaliered]

[stop the gender ratio

she's not either of those things so much, but she is sad, and it probably isn't a surprise. she does like uriel. and she did lead to uriel getting voted for. so... this sucks.

she takes the booze when it's handed to her, and sighs.]

What do you think?

w4, monday

[toyska]

[HERE THEY ARE EXPLORING and honestly by the time they make it to the bar Childe is gonna be sick of this place already LFMSJHGKGH HELP he's used to not being the tallest person around but this is still disorienting]

The island with the beach is still the best one.

[cavaliered]

Yep. Agreed.

[she is tired already from all the climbing and getting around! this place sucks!]

You think whatever lives here normally would be fun to fight?

w7, Monday

[toyska]

[Well they saw each other already BUT IT'S FINE WE CAN PC ANYWAY. Sometime after the fight he will even come find her and cuff her head lightly.]

Hanging in there?

[cavaliered]

[they saw each other already but what she didn't get to do - and wouldn't do in public - is take that cuff to the head, and then immediately and without hesitation hug the shit out of him. hi, hello. that's her answer.]

w7; FRIDAY

[cavaliered]

[the next time that childe comes to his cabin, he will find a pouch tied to his doorknob! inside it he will find two things.

first, a necklace, though it can be a bracelet as well. second is a note. the note is scribbled and there's a couple of things crossed out, but eventually it gets to the point:]

The goal is to not leave any of you here and I don't intend to. Not if I can make this work.
But I don't make plans and I want you to remember me either way
So just in case things don't go like I want them to
Here.

Thank you.

- Gideon

[toyska]

[SOOTS YOUUUUU

But later on the day, he will send a text]

Don't do anything stupid.

[The way he could send this at any point on any day and it would probably be applicable]

w7, saturday

[toyska]

[Okay well at some point after they settle on an endgame request for Satan and start to disperse, he snags her arm.]

Come with me.

[cavaliered]

[she is grabbed! and lets him drag her off.]

Foreboding. Hi, what's up. The day's treating me fine, thanks for asking. [stop]
