week 0, saturday.

[preceptive]

[what the FUCK just happened.

honestly, kagachi wouldn't say he has an appetite, but he hasn't exactly eaten all day either, so that's a thing that should happen, in spite of that mess.

on his way to go cook something, he comes across tamamo? getting ice cream apparently.]

Already willing to brave the cold again?

[after, you know. getting locked in the freezer. it's a joke maybe.]

[foxweddings]

[giving him the most feral look with a spoonful of peanut butter fudge shoved in her mouth]

I figured I should stave off my sweet tooth seeing as we likely have a demon running among our ranks.

[Sorry she's a killjoy at the moment]

W1 - post trial

[foxweddings]

[Hope Kagachi just likes finding Tamamo by accident in the kitchen now.

Though at least this time she's made the tea, glancing over the rim of her cup in vague surprise when she notices who has entered]

... Would you like some? I don't plan on drinking all of this by myself.

[preceptive]

[...]

Didn't get someone else to make it for you, this time?

week 2, tuesday

[preceptive]

[kagachi is questioning all of the life choices that have led him to approaching tamamo of his own volition, knowing that this will inevitably end with him suffering, but here we are.]

How well can you fight in close combat?

[that's

sure a question to start off with]

[foxweddings]

[Tamamo is also questioning this dude's life choices]

... My my. Kagachi-san, if you want me to knock you down and tie you to the bed, there are easier ways of asking~♥

week 2, saturday.

[preceptive]

[well, no one is happy today.

but before everything became awful, tamamo did promise kagachi a talk, and kagachi is. not really the sort to spend more than a moment angsting, so back to business it is.

which means hunting tamamo down.]

Hey.

[foxweddings]

... Business-oriented?

[Guess what, she is in the kitchen, with tea.

and probably booze she stole from one of the other rooms. It's fine]

Well, sit down then.

W3, Monday

[foxweddings]

[A gleaming, broken arrow is not the sort of item you just casually come across, especially on this ship -- especially in hte middle of the inner gardens.

At first Tamamo doesn't know what to make of it. Everything about its presence reeks of trickery, and she is no fool... but the seconds pass and her feet keep walking, and she realizes in horrified fascination that it doesn't matter if it's a trick or not --

She's going to touch it anyway.]

[preceptive]

[well.

kagachi's admittedly spending a fair amount of time in the gardens, for his own reasons, when he spots tamamo. he doesn't quite see what lies on the ground, but he does see her reaching for it.]

Hey—

week 3, wednesday.

[preceptive]

[well, a lot of people sure are doing badly now. kagachi still doesn't quite know how to handle the situation, coming from a society that doesn't believe in grief, but he's doing his best.

as he makes his rounds, he ends up in the lounge, where he spots tamamo.]

... You okay?

[foxweddings]

... Managing.

[It's strange to think that she isn't bothered by Kagachi's company, or even feels the need to hide her blank expression. It is fine; there are no tears in her eyes, and she has long since given up the search.]

Pay me no mind. I am not here to cause a scene.

W3, post trial

[foxweddings]

[The kitchen has become a frequent stop of hers after trials, and upon seeing Kagachi also there, well--]

I'm making tea. Would you like some as well?

[preceptive]

... I'm almost surprised by how proactive you are about this.

[why the heck did you have him make you tea that one time!!]

But all right.

W4, sunday

[preceptive]

[here cometh kagachi.

he even has ice cream.]

Good work.

[foxweddings]

[God bless ice cream. She is going to wave him over even with her head thunked against a counter, looking exhausted.

At least she is clean! Kimono is gone, though, which means Tamamo is forced to sport some outfit that is borderline tasteful but 100% thotty. Knee-high boots are probably involved.]

Thank you. It seems at least one of our fallen has been avenged.

W4, post trial

[foxweddings]

[All things considered... well. Tamamo doesn't look happy, but her expression is more or less neutral when she enters the kitchen. Post-trial tea time and all.

Yes, there is a trail of blood here, but you think she cares? Absolutely not. She doesn't have to stay long.

Upon seeing Kagachi she will nod politely at him, and as per usual, gesture to the stove]

Shall I make our usual?

[...]

Though perhaps this once, we should talk in a different location.

[preceptive]

[...]

Well, up to you. I don't mind either way.

W5, tuesday

[foxweddings]

[Apologies to Kagachi in advance

But Tamamo is going to corner him around the morning on Tuesday, looking like she's on the prowl]

-- Ah, there you are. Come with me, I require your attention for the next hour.

[preceptive]

[uh.]

What?

w5, saturday

[preceptive]

[where is tamamo, kagachi has tea, courtesy of the coffee shop.]

[foxweddings]

[Oh no her ears are wiggling.

Also because of circumstances, Tamamo is way more like her normal self than the goddess!Tamamo, so--]

Ah, perfect~! You truly spoil me, Kagachi-san~

week 6, friday

[foxweddings]

[Hey Kagachi where are you because

Tamamo has tea

Of course she does

And she's going to approach the other with a tired, if frank expression]

Well, where shall we drink?

[preceptive]

[it's a little reassuring that some things never change.]

Well, what wasn't on fire?

w6, saturday

[foxweddings]

[Forget tea tonight. Tamamo needs alcohol.

An entire bottle which she will be nursing in the lounge, though upon hearing Kagachi's approach, she will glance to him with a tired smile]

Join me, will you?

[preceptive]

... Taking a cue from Wei Wuxian now?
