[harsh-reflection]

Do you remember the thing Smitten wanted you to do?

What? Oh, right, that. Tower should be —

glancing over at the many many aisles

...

....I'll tell her next time she comes by the registers.

[harsh-reflection]

Gives you a blue cloak, a red cloak, a pink cloak and a rainbow cloak

sighs, exasperated but slightly amused

I suppose I should be grateful you aren't just fucking with my regular cloak again.

[harsh-reflection]

if there's time to lean, there's time to clean study the seemingly endless list of aisles (and try not to bore themself to sleep while they're at it.)

sigh. they almost wish a customer would come by so there's something else to do. almost.

[harsh-reflection]

they make a note to stop by one of the clothing aisles after their shift is over. it'd be nice to have more than one outfit.

[harsh-reflection]

Do you have dog food in here?

Uh...

scanning list

Aisle 88: Kibbles (dog, cat, bird, fish, microbe, etc)

[harsh-reflection]

[harsh-reflection]

(Ooc: for complete clarity this is after hero and cheated but before 🪞 went back to work)

*Smitten quickly goes to his room not to be questioned about yesterday anymore, especially not to ruin this high he's on. He seems almost giddy, the smile reaching his eyes. He had their cloak and shirt in his hand.*

Smitten: 🪞!

*He called out cheerfully*

@stp-thevoices

Smitten?

they sit up when he enters, still sore, but looking much less weary than they had the day before. their eyes quickly catch on a familiar shade of green.

O-oh! You were able to get it! That means —

their face falls, a solemnity creeping into their voice.

That means you spoke to her. What...

...

What did she say?

[stp-thevoices]

Well we didn't get to speak directly. I think? She just gave this piece of paper that said you could stay home!

*He gives them that little slit of paper and their clothes*

Do you want me to leave the room so you can change real quick?

[harsh-reflection]

they take the paper, holding it like they think it'll fly away if they're not careful.

Huh. She actually...

they fold it up and set it on the bedside table, then stand and gather up their clothes.

I... if that's alright with you. Or — there's a bathroom, I can go change there if you'd rather not leave.

[stp-thevoices]

No it's alright. Just knock on the door when you're done.

*He said before they see his body become darken and disappears into nothing like he was never there*

[harsh-reflection]

a shiver runs down their spine as they change.

"🪞, he hasn't gone to his chapter has he?"

is that where he's gone? ...is that where he went, the first time they stayed here? has he... has he been hurting himself for their sake?

"He just has... a very bad habit of being stuck in his past."

hero said to tell him if smitten went there, but...

...

smitten's their only friend, or something close to one. can they betray him, even if it's to help him?

...

...no. this is just for a moment, he'll be back here as soon as they're done changing. no need to bother hero over it — if he goes again, without the promise of a quick return, then they'll say something.

...

...

all finished. they go up to the door and knock thrice.

[stp-thevoices]

*Just like the first time he appears into the room. Seeming just as chipper despite being a bit humbled. Probably for his own good really.*

How have you been feeling since I've been away? I wasn't able to ask you earlier since you were sleeping by the time I left.

[harsh-reflection]

Better, mostly. It's... it's still a bit sore, right here —

they gesture at where the wound was.

— but I think I'll be well enough to go back to work tomorrow.

[stp-thevoices]

Alright, make sure not to push yourself and be careful.

*He give them another ice pack. He then sits on his own bed letting out a love sick sigh being reminded of a certain someone*

That's reminds me! I was plan to do something!

*He goes over to the table next to the mirror moving the stuff around as a calligraphy pens pen and parchment appear on it. He takes a chair and sits.*

Also 🪞 if you see lady Tower please tell her I miss her dearly, and thank her for getting your cloak! She is truly most generous!

*He says like there's nothing odd about this.*

[harsh-reflection]

they lay back down, holding the ice pack to their chest, eyes already half shut. hopefully they'll be able to sleep some more now.

Yeah, she's nice. I'll tell her...

[stp-thevoices]

Thank you! I'm glad you agree!

*He said with a goofy grin facing the paper in front of him as it begins to think dipping his pen.*

[harsh-reflection]

...y'welcome...

they're starting to fall asleep.

[harsh-reflection]

[harsh-reflection]

Are you ok with Smitten flirting with your coworker?

what

[harsh-reflection]

To which tho? If you do of course

I assume the other anon meant the one that killed me.

I imagine I'll end up talking to the other one at some point, though. We do live in the same cabin.

[harsh-reflection]

Will you talk to Opportunist?

...I haven't decided yet.

[harsh-reflection]

they're finally back at wallwall, wearing a crisp new uniform polo and an obviously fake smile. hopefully this shift goes better than the last one did...

[harsh-reflection]

I mean talking about the stuff with Hero and Cheated

...

shrugs

Maybe. It was better than doing nothing, anyway... Hero's nice, but I don't think Cheated likes me very much.
