WEEK 5

[divus]

[Disorder's hanging out in the Courtyard.]

You want me again, so soon? I'm flattered. What's the occasion?

[haw]

[ and here comes a tired majima, looking a little sheepish. ]

'Cause some people wouldn't get off my back until I came to give ya a "sincere apology."

[divus]

...for what?

[She honestly seems to have no idea why he needs to apologize to her.]

[haw]

That shit on Thursday, when everyone thought I was bullyin' ya?

[divus]

You mean when we were picking teams? Oh, I don't care about that.

[haw]

[ GOD,,, ]

Sure sounded like ya did!

[divus]

Well, I wanted you on my team! But I get why you were planning on leaving for Senri's, which is why I just convinced Madoka to be on my team instead. So everything worked out!

[haw]

Ya didn't need to pull out the waterworks, geez... now ya got people thinkin' I'm heartless!

[divus]

I got you to listen, didn't it?

[There's a teasing smile in her voice.]

Sorry if I got a bit carried away. Anyway I'm sure nobody thinks you're heartless. Maybe just crass?

[haw]

Crass is people's normal perception of me. What's middle ground between that an' heartless?

[divus]

A dick?

[haw]

Opened myself right up to that one, huh.

[divus]

[Laughing, Disorder pulls up her mask. He can see that she's wearing his gold hoop offerings, too.]

Does this make up for it at all?

[haw]

[ a long, drawn out pause ]

Ya know, suddenly your wing durin' your host week makes a hell of a lot more sense.

[divus]

I can't tell if I should take that as a jab or not.

[She runs a hand through her hair.]

[haw]

I just... ya know, wasn't expectin' ya to be so young.

[ ANY MORE OF THAT KIND OF TALK THOUGH WILL LEAD INTO AWKWARD TERRITORY, SO, LET'S SWITCH GEARS ]

—Why reveal yerself to me? From my understandin', ya only do this once we've reached a real development in our, uh, relationship...

[divus]

I'm old enough.

[uh,]

Look, we're nearly at the finish line and I've only been able to reveal myself to one person. Believe it or not, you've actually bothered with me more than most. Also, this earrings are super cute. I love hoops.

[haw]

Wh—for real? On both counts?

[ DIZZY...?! ]

Not even yer own followers...? [ "when you had them" is. omitted. for reasons. ]

[divus]

Please. My followers have barely bothered with me. I've had to chase them down myself if I wanted to actually see them; Chuuya's the only one who actually sent me an offering at the beginning, and he only did it to spit in my face.

[haw]

Damn... I know I didn't do anythin' wrong, but I still kinda wanna apologize for other people bein' asses.

[divus]

It's been kind of a rough game for me.

[Sighs!!!]

But, whatever. It's almost over now and I'll just get on with my life.

[She hesitates.]

Thanks anyway. The sentiment is, like, totally cool of you.

[haw]

... Ya ain't so bad, Disorder-han. Least, not as bad as I pegged ya to be before this all started.

. . .

Got a proper name I can call ya that ain't all about mayhem an' chaos?

[divus]

Oh, right. I'm Regina.

[Despite how despondent she is, she still manages to flash him a smile. You've gotta put on your best image when you're introducing yourself!]
