[When Senri next wanders into the costume hall, he'll hear a rustling of fabrics - and then, as if out of nowhere, a masked figure steps out from among a rack of dresses. The figure raises their hand in a wave.]
Well, hello there. It's nice to meet you too.
Well, hello there. It's nice to meet you too.
[it's funny - senri's been in countless costume halls, and he feels strangely at home in this one too. he wonders if sincerity knew that.
he turns to face them and offers a smile]
You got my note? I had to guess which fruits you might like - I hope they were good, even if they weren't your favorites!

[When Senri enters the game room, he'll find there's some masked figure sitting in a chair with what appears to be the game of Life in front of them? So cool. The cheesecake's also there and appears to be untouched, but they look up when Senri walks in.]
I've gotta say, this is kind of adorable. [Though Senri can't see their face, it's a little easier to tell that the voice is definitely masculine.]

[Whenever Senri enters the parlor, he'll find that there's a nice little set-up including the cake cut into pieces for them to share, tea, and a fresh vase of roses nearby. The masked figure sits in a chair with their right leg crossed over their left at the knee. Upon spotting him though, they extend a hand in welcome.]
Welcome, Nito-kun. [Oh boy, they're excited.] Won't you join me?
Welcome, Nito-kun. [Oh boy, they're excited.] Won't you join me?
[When Senri enters the dance studio, he'll be greeted by the sound of cheerful pop music playing from the stereo and Love...spinning? Love is absolutely dancing, and when they realize Senri's entered they perk up immediately.]
Senri-san! [They extend a hand.] Dance with me?
Senri-san! [They extend a hand.] Dance with me?
[dammit.
senri said that he'd get all of his tears out yesterday. and he thought he did. he made it through trial without letting too many of his emotions get in the way - aside from one slip. but he wore his mask as confidently as he could, played with the shreds of a script that he had in front of him, and did his best.
but at the end of the day, he still lost a friend.
and he's losing another person he liked.
so when sincerity gives him a hug, senri cries. he cries a lot, and he wants nothing more than to figure out how to make it stop]

- 2019-02-25 03:18 (UTC) - Expand[You know who else is sad? Beauty. But they don't show it with the regal way they open the door to the parlor, lily on display in a vase on the piano. They bring Senri into the room and it's when the door closes that they pause.
And stop.
And gently rest a hand on his head. They're not sure if hugs are welcome, basically, but they want to comfort him somehow and don't speak just yet.
It's been a long day, hasn't it, Senri?]

[EVERYONE IS SAD, BINCH.
but senri will accept the hand on his head. he'll lean into the touch even, because at the end of the day, he doesn't know how to ask for people to pay attention to him. he doesn't know how to bridge the gap between himself and others in a way that matters, but he'll take what he's offered to him every time.]
... I'm really relieved.
That it wasn't you - or one of yours.

[The door to the west wing is open and Beauty stands in front of it, back to Senri as they peer into this winter wonderland. Senri will also see that the god's somehow wearing those mittens over their hands in their godly clothes, along with another jacket over those.]
Senri-kun! [Bright, cheerful.] Isn't it wonderful?
Senri-kun! [Bright, cheerful.] Isn't it wonderful?
[Ambition waits for Senri in the dining hall. The coffee parfait is on the table - it looks like there's been a few bites taken from it, but with the god's mask back in place, the rest will have to be saved for later.]
I don't normally eat homemade things. [Hm.] But this isn't terrible.

What a compliment! I put my whole heart and soul into it. ♪ How does it taste? Too sweet, not sweet enough? I can adjust the recipe for you, if you'd like.
[and he'll approach? he's... not sure how to take this, actually, given everything with shiki but.
he'll aim for optimistic (and terrified bc cute ambitious girls are the scariest)]

[Well. When Senri enters the parlor he'll find Beauty sitting in a window seat, coat folded in his lap and head bowed. He doesn't say anything, but he allows Senri to enter the room. Is he brooding? Yeah, maybe.]
...Senri-kun. [It's tentative, but also relieved that Senri's, like, alive.]
...Senri-kun. [It's tentative, but also relieved that Senri's, like, alive.]
[Normally, Piety can be found in the Private Study, but this time poor Senri will find that he has to trudge all the way to the lake in order to find the deity. They're staring out at the ice, the smooth surface that doesn't look as if it ever housed a horrific accident. Senri's flower is held gently in their fingers.]
I'm glad to finally hear from you, directly. You've been making quite an impression on so many people...us, included.

Whoa - ahaha, okay, okay!! I definitely will but - oh, what's this?
[senri will pause then, lowering himself so he's closer to Justice's height, peeeering in]
Hold still, I think you've got a...
[and when senri reaches over by where Justice's ear would be, he'll pull his hand back and suddenly have one of the bunnies from the scavenger hunt in his hand]
Whoa! How'd he get there?

[Senri listens curiously for a second - and then moves to sit down next to Beauty.]
... I made a deal.
Uchiha teaches me how to defend myself in a fight if I play with Justice for a week. I had some other offers, but I thought... ah, that's too risky.
But with the other participants going to where I think they're going to... it'll be enough smokescreen that I'll be okay, hopefully.
[ . . . ]
I wish I could choose you, but Cheri thinks it's too obvious.... and I agree.

[In the studio today, Love seems to be working on a book! And in this book are...pressed flowers? Hm. Senri's offering is laying on the ground but doesn't seem to be in danger of getting pressed yet.]
Hey. [Just casual as usual.] I don't think I've received this many flowers for, like, a year.

[did senri take nail polishes from the beauty salon that ambition oversees to make an offering to her
well whatever she'll accept it. she's back in the beauty salon, putting each of them back in place.]
You weren't kidding about manicures.

[Senri will find Fortune sitting at the riverbank in her wing, playing with the origami fortune teller. She unfolds the flap that says "nice to meet you" as he approaches, and looks up at him, gesturing for him to sit down next to her.]
It's nice to meet you, too.
It's nice to meet you, too.
[this is so much better than the psychic's den he can't even begin to say how relieved he is, wow.
senri will go sit next to her though, offering her a smile.]
Hehe, do you think my fortunes will come true? I put a lot of positive energy into them.
.... sorry - it took me so long to see you.

[Well. Since Senri's made himself known, when he enters the parlor he'll find Beauty on the ground with Antoinette pulled between his knees, trying to affix a new ribbon on the dog. It's a beautiful blue color, and this way he isn't looking at Senri just yet.]
So you found your way. [Not unhappy, but curious. Antoinette would bark at Senri but she's busy smooshing her face into Beauty's hands.]

Morning, cutie!!
[he loves this baby boy more than anything]
Uh-huh! I know that one pretty well. I think moms normally read books like that with their kids, but since I've never gotten to do that before - I thought we'd read together after we finish chatting!
Is that okay?

You said you wanted to do something that friends do. Cunning would be cheating since you're dating, and even though I'm suuuper curious about where you'd put Cheri, even I'd have to get a little mad if you'd just outright kill him.
[THAT SAID - ]
That's about what I thought, though.
How's your week going? Are more people talking to you?

More or less, despite the fact he knows he's going to be put back into his robes and mask the moment they leave he took the time to look nice.]
What do you think? Does it suit me? [Judging by the smile he knows it does and he's just being a little egotistical.]
[god damn you, tamaki.
Senri cleaned up for the date - trading his usual uniform and casual clothes for a nice clean outfit himself, even though it's a little ruined by the scarf that he really felt like he couldn't live without. well, he supposes that maybe it'll be fine if he just pretends that he's going on a winter date.
it's a shame that senri is still so heart eyes over someone that he knows that he can't have, now more than ever.]
Mm-hmm. You look good in white.
[and he'll bring out a bouquet of flowers he gathered - ]
I know that you'll get tired of these from me eventually, but I'm just all the more convinced that you have the kind of face that deserves flowers.

Kind of. Sincerity ambushes Senri with a huge warm furry coat the moment he walks in the door, tbh. Sincerity is also not wearing a mask today (although he is dressed to the nines), but that's not the important thing here.]
Sen-chan... come in, sit down.
[ . . . for some reason, senri isn't surprised at all. he relaxes easily and manages to say - ]
Y-You're just as pretty as I always thought, Cheri.
[and doesn't say a damn thing about the cross-dressing since Beauty refers to cheri with he pronouns? it's fine. Senri will put on the coat and go to join him]
.... I'm not - gonna let what happened, happen to you.

[The summon was answered and the rose and note are nowhere to be found. Like. Then again, Beauty's nowhere to be found either and it's probably safe to say that he's in his room. The door's cracked open though at least so Senri won't have to play the piano and pop it open himself. Beauty is apparently giving Senri the option between calling him out or coming into his room.
It's probably fine.]
It's probably fine.]
