week 7, monday.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ it isn't that hard to find leo now that he's back! he's hanging out in winter's backyard with all the camping stuff. he's sparkly. and when he looks up at someone's approach, he looks surprised to see nier, but not at all unhappy. ]

Hey! Did you ever finish that painting?

[amain]

Did you not get to see it? I did have to take it back in to have a seal sprayed on it so it can withstand weather changes.

[ dumps this here, but Nier gestures for him to come over to Summer dorm. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ i, personally, did not see this i'm in tears

he'll get up to follow nier, though! ]

Not yet, but I haven't really been going in the dorm much if I can help it. I was only gone for a week, and now everything's crowded and covered in glitter.

[amain]

You can always sleep in Summer if you want. We have a bunch of hammocks.

[ And to let him in... He will see, yeah, beachy with a lot of hammocks. Nier goes to fetch the painting and here it is!

Festus in all his metal glory. ]

I had Alphinaud help me a bit more.

[commandertoolbelt]

Nah, it’s fine. Tsuyu told me they have a spare bed in Spring, so I might take him up on that whenever I get tired of the whole camping thing. Loving the beach vibes here, though.

[ can’t go wrong with comfortable and casual! oh but when he sees the painting, he lights up like the sun. his eyes are practically sparkling! ]

That’s… amazing. He looks great! You and Alphi really work fast, huh?

[amain]

[ He smiles at him because that's cute. He won't just say (gay) aloud for Leo's sake. ]

Yeah, we did, though we chose not to do that much homework.

[ Fuck this school. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ would you not go for the spare bed if your dorm had like a third of the game in it sir ]

Can't blame you for that one. I'm a little annoyed that I got the school curse last week, honestly? I actually did the homework. Me! Homework! Gross!

[amain]

I did think it was weird that you were so into ouji boards, but I did enjoy the gift.

[ Anyway, he pats the painting. ]

Yours to take, though it's... Kind of big and a hassle to carry for when you head home.

[commandertoolbelt]

Yeah, this... definitely won't fit into my tool belt.

[ that's not stoping him from looking excited, though? ]

I'll figure it out, though. I bet he'd love to see it for himself.

[amain]

Mm... If we could visit other worlds, do you mind if I stop by?

It would be cool to see a dragon.

[commandertoolbelt]

I'd say wait until after the prophecy is done and over with, but... no, I don't mind. You could meet the real Festus, when he's all rebuilt! And Jason and Piper would probably want to say hi, too.

[amain]

Those are you friends, right?

[ Leo's friends must be great if he would just YEET HIS LIFE for them. Anyway... ]

All right. I don't... Know when the prophecy will be done, but I'll definitely stop by. If you want help with building him, I can at least carry things.

[ labor ]

[commandertoolbelt]

Yep! Jason and Piper were there for my first quest. Helping them was one of the reasons I fixed Festus up, actually.

The prophecy... should wrap up within the year, maybe earlier. And if I'm lucky, he'll be fully rebuilt by then, and I'm planning to do it so that if he's broken up again, it'll be easier to put him back together next time. So we should just be able to go for a flight, without anything like that weighing over our heads.

[amain]

[ Nier will try to remember these names then. ]

Then I'll look forward to it... My world doesn't have flying devices or flying creatures that can ferry us, so that ride on our field trip was kind of fun.

If I forget about Roland completely.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ MAKES A FACE ]

Yeah, I'm good with pretending Roland never happened at all. I promise Festus wouldn't mind giving you a ride, though! It isn't that often he gets to fly just for fun these days.
