week 0; sunday 0

[outsidebones]

[harrow is now freshly changed from her horrible pink jumpsuit and is instead wearing all black - a button down, pants, and dramatic looking robes - decorated all over with bone.

there's still not much space to explore, but harrow is going to go ahead and do it. you can find her in any of the common areas, opening drawers and cabinets and taking pictures on her phone or typing something down. when someone else walks into the room, she abruptly puts her phone away like she was doing something she isn't supposed to.]

[nascens]

[Finally one of the only people in this jail that is actually shorter than he is... it's a christmas miracle...

That said, he's also finally reappearing after vanishing to do who knows what who knows where for Some Time. He's also dressed in his normal garb, which is tragically nowhere near as cool as the goth skull motif she's got going on. The quickness of her movement has him giving her a bit of a quizzical look, though it, like everything he does, is just Steeped In Haughtiness.]

You're not very used to doing things covertly, are you.

[outsidebones]

[based on the vague descriptions both you and pixi gave me i can only assume they both vanished to kiss each other a lot.

anyway, this is possibly the most devastating thing anyone has ever said to her but she gives him a haughty look right back as though he didn't just cut her deeply.]

There's no point bothering with being covert, we're obviously being watched.

week 1; monday

[outsidebones]

[harrow can be found later in the evening on clown island, still hanging around the costume shop digging through sexy skeleton costumes.]

Hm, no.

[nascens]

[Scaramouche is also here and looking to be in an even more sour mood than usual, which is tragic given he has finally returned to his truest home the circus.]

I'm assuming that the answer is no, but I have to ask - is anything in here worth looking at?

[outsidebones]

Some of these are not so bad.

[she picks up one sort of loose flowing black robe with lace and dramatic sleeves like it's promising, and then she sees the plunging neckline.]

Eugh. Well, not without some alterations.

week 2; monday

[outsidebones]

[scaramouche can find harrow sometime on monday exploring the new island. specifically, she's in the aquarium room, and it sounds like she may be in there with someone else. she's looking into the tank of fish, one hand on the glass, talking as though it's to someone else in the room, but no one is there.

when he comes into the room, she blinks, startled.]

Oh - good afternoon. [even then she sounds a little oddly hesitant.]

[nascens]

[girl help

SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ACTING SO WEIRD TODAY... He's just blinking, glancing around the room briefly before looking back toward Harrow and the absolute lack of anyone else around.]

...Good afternoon. [Finally glancing toward the tank.] Are you talking to the fish?

[outsidebones]

[oh. she frowns, clenches and unclenches her fist. she seems uncertain for a moment, but draws upon a haughty expression.]

Yes, quite. It is important to thoroughly test our new surroundings.

w3 mon

[nascens]

[HE'S ALMOST HOME FREE. ALMOST BACK FROM THE NEW ISLAND... when he happens to turn his 50th ill-timed corner of the day and nearly bumps into Harrow, and there's some light cursing under his breath in the split-second before the ground opens up and they're dumped into hole. He hates it here so bad.

He's also just landing in a heap rather than gracefully on his feet because it's funnier this way, and he will simply stay there for a moment, questioning everything that has brought him to this point in time.]

How high do you think the chances are of someone dying this week by falling into a hole?

[TRIAL AND IT'S JUST "WE ACCIDENTALLY MEMSHARED TOO HARD". Anyway, the screen is there as usual, ominous and blank for the time being. But soon enough, a memory flickers to life, drawing Harrow in.

also gimme mem too im good with any, i have no cws!!]

[outsidebones]

[she hates it here, too. she's going to sass him back about it, but then the memory plays and as she always does she sits and politely pretends not to watch.

this memory in particular really fucks her up, though. good selection. she can't actually pretend not to see it or react to it. she swallows hard, lacing her fingers together, looking down.]

...Hmm. They are cruel.

[nascens]

[me listening to the spirit and also what i remember about harrow and putting my finger on this

In any case, Scaramouche's expression is relatively impassive from what can be seen from the side, but there's a little furrow to his brow that he can't fully ease away, even with all the practice he has at keeping himself from showing what he feels. He hates this memory.]

It's within their nature. You can't expect anything else.

w3 thurs

[nascens]

[GIRL HELP. That was so much. Why do these adventures genuinely sound like they're getting progressively more deranged by the week...

He's going to go do his usual nosy rounds to chat with the Suffering Few, though, and will swing by wherever Harrow's holed up after all of that. The first thing he says is just:]

Congratulations on your miracle stabbing, I guess.

Re: w3 thurs

[outsidebones]

I owe Itto a blood debt now. It is unfortunate.

[you could simply not promise him one though but it's too late.

anyway, she's wrapped up in blankets trying to get warm but she's still chattering. somewhere on the island.]

[nascens]

I don't know that you'll ever get the chance to repay it, considering how fast he is to draw his own blood before anyone else.

[He's genuinely just waiting for the day that Itto does something that really does get him killed... Either way, he'll just stand nearby with his arms crossed over his chest because of course he didn't bring anything useful with him. Everyone else has being useful covered!!]

So. Was it a ferry or that bizarre space craft everyone keeps talking about?

week 4; monday

[outsidebones]

[harrow can be found on the new island on monday. specifically, she is looking around writing things in her notebook. currently, she's standing near the lava river, chewing on her pen with a furious expression.

also she is wearing her gold star.]

Damn it...!

[nascens]

[The way he never has his phone on him and thus missed the entire chaotic rampage on Bicker... Glad to see her sporting her gold star as she deserves, though.

In any case, he moseys over, looking a little curious. This is a surprising level of agitation from her as far as he knows?? Hm.]

Having a poor time?

w4 fri

[nascens]

[welcome to the spaghetti zone

Which is just the bonfire, because Scaramouche has hunkered down in front of it. His legs are pulled up to his chest and one hand rests over his knees, and if it weren't for the Irritated, Pensive and Tired air about him, it'd look very lazy and at-ease.

He'll glance up whenever Harrow moseys by.]

Two this time.

[outsidebones]

[oh interesting scaramouche interesting, is that your main feeling about today, that two people died?

harrow is. pretty sad, actually, about both of them, but she isn't showing it and she respects scara's desire not to and to just eat spaghetti instead.]

I know. After two weeks of absurd coincidences and people awaking who didn't want to, I didn't expect this.

week 4; saturday

[outsidebones]

[time to come visit spaghetti jail island. she isn't quite sure what she even wants to say to him, or whether he'll want to talk, but here she is anyway.

what's his reaction when she walks in. snarling and biting, or did he tucker himself out.]

[nascens]

[Spaghetti jail island where the parmesan never stops flowing...

Scaramouche is sitting on the floor opposite to the jail cell bars, something in one hand. The other arm is held at a somewhat delicate angle. On a whole, though, he definitely seems to have calmed back down again. Feral raccoon energy gone... His expression is back to its usual state of impassivity, though he cants his head a little to the side when Harrow joins him.]

I wonder if I make a fair enough target for your anger.

week 7; monday

[outsidebones]

[scaramouche! harrow is here, flanked by skeletons on either side who are carrying all her shit for her.]

...It's good to see you again.

[nascens]

[ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE HE'S EVEN REMOTELY HAPPY TO SEE... Though he's just looking at these skeletons like girl...]

It's not terrible seeing you, either. Much better to be able to stretch out and access things properly, isn't it?

[Nodding toward the nearest mcbones chauffer.]

week 7; saturday

[outsidebones]

[well. after all of that, she's dead on her feet, but she'll still talk to him.]

...Will you return, then?

[nascens]

[She is so valid. Scaramouche also feels dead on his feet even though he did significantly less work than some of the people here. His general mood does not seem particularly celebratory, but at least that's probably not a shocker...]

If it's an option, then I will. No point in leaving behind unfinished business.

[Either he'll succeed this time or he'll die and maybe go to a less shitty afterlife, damn.]
