[ After the trial, he's wandering down toward the beach area, kicking a few stones along the street and looking around. He reaches up a hand and runs it through his hair with a sigh. ]

What now...?

[ Asking to the sky, not realizing anyone is around him. ]

[rerouter]

... Wondering what comes next, too?

[Surprise! He is not alone. Monika was, of course, stretching her legs after that mess of a trial — until she overhead him.]

[ He starts a little, not having expected that! But he looks over at her with a wry bit of smile. ]

Pretty much. It sounds like this whole thing wasn't in their plans, so it makes me wonder what their plans even are.

[rerouter]

Working on the competition, I guess? They talked about it a little before, but it sounded like they couldn't really explain what it meant either...

You mean the Temporals versus the Celestials? Not really sure, either.

[rerouter]

Right, that. For something that sounds like it should be a big deal, we really know way too little about it.

Maybe we're supposed to talk with each other and find out what everyone knows. Piece things together...

[rerouter]

So, like, teamwork...? I guess we've been doing that already.

Yeah... It's been pretty nice seeing people mostly work together so far.

week one, sunday.

[rerouter]

[Poking... into wherever he is? To hopefully find him resting? Hello? Please say he is resting.]

... Kotetsu?

[ He was just starting to shift to get up. (This isn't the first time. I'm sorry he's like this.) But he pauses when he hears Monika's voice and looks over. ]

Oh, hey there.

[rerouter]

[Sir... She gives him a look, like. What are you doing.]

Hi. I thought you would be sleeping, or something... Sorry.

[ He waves his hand quickly. ]

No, that's fine. You don't have to apologize. I just needed to stand for a minute. Restless, you know?

[rerouter]

Ahaha, I guess you do seem like that type. But won't that just slow down the healing process?

[sponsoredby]

[ There's a sheepish little smile at that. ]

You're probably right.

[ Okay, okay. He'll be good and get back on the couch, laying down. ]

[rerouter]

[She huffs out a laugh, smiling.]

Thanks. So... I was actually thinking pf grabbing a book for myself, but do you want to read something together? It'll be way less boring than just laying there and waiting to fall asleep.

[ That makes him smile. ]

That sounds like it could be a fun way to pass the time.

[rerouter]

Ehehe, you think so? Well, go on. What kind of stories are you into?

[sponsoredby]

Anything with a bit of heroism and action is pretty good in my eyes.

thursday, week two.

[rerouter]

[Good news! Monika no longer sounds like a chipmunk on this fine Thursday. Greets him with a smile when she comes across him in the Great Salon.]

Hey, Kotetsu! What are you up to?

[sponsoredby]

[ He gives her a small salute when she comes in. ]

Fancy meeting you here again. But I thought I'd take a small break, since these couches are pretty comfortable. What're you up to?

[rerouter]

Honestly? Just taking a walk. I'm a little nervous today, so...

[sponsoredby]

That's understandable. I think we're all a little on edge.

[rerouter]

What, like a comic book?

You don't think books can have that kind of thing?
