fragileprophet | Week 6 Catchall with Natsuo

[It doesn't matter where they are--it could be their room or anywhere else, but when Ion sees Natsuo he approaches, hands behind his back. It's obvious that he's holding his staff, at least, but when he gets close enough, he pulls out another homemade flower crown to give to his roommate and friend.]

It's a new week...and I'm so happy to see you!

Oh—

[ He hadn't gone outside in a long time, not since last week before it'd started raining, and he was trying to fashion flower ~~crown~~handcuffs for Ion and had to give up because he couldn't remember how to do it. Small mercies. ]

I'm happy to see you too! We made it through to another week!

[ YOU KNOW WHAT, YEAH. Being alive on Mondays is always a cause for celebration, and he takes the flower crown in hand and sets it on his head. ]

Yes!

[He looks absolutely delighted when Natsuo accepts the present, and clasps his hands together.]

I decided that this week, I'll be trying to do as much as I can with as many people as possible. I feel like I've been missing out on so much by letting my fatigue get the better of me. How about you? Do you have anything planned?

Me? Sorta the same thing every week.

[ aka loading up on cute Monday/Tuesday threads, being terrified on Wednesday-Friday, screaming through the weekend, rinse, repeat. ]

So, nothing really planned, but going around and seeing people. It's like what you said before: making people smile makes everybody feel better. Things like group dinners was really fun! It'd be nice if we could all have a sleepover together sometime, everybody in the same room.

[Ion pauses, and then his expression falls into that of someone deadly serious.]

We should ask, and set something up--maybe tomorrow we can do it as long as we invite everyone today!

[TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.]

[ hurtles a toplevel at the mingle while it's still Monday— WE COULD DO THAT, PLEASE LET'S DO IT ]

Let's do that! We can have snacks, and tell stories, and it'll cheer everybody up, just like what Sanji did for us!

[I'M ABSOLUTELY GOING TO DO THIS. SLEEPOVER TOPLEVEL!!!]

Yeah! I'm sure a lot of people will come, because we're all friends!

[Most of everyone is friends by now, anyway.]

It'll be great fun! We'll all bring our pillows and blankets so it'll be comfortable for everyone!

[ BLESS......

Between Ion and himself, he's pretty sure their network of friends includes most of the castle, and their +1s make up the rest of it. ]

Do you think there's enough room in one of the common rooms? Or should we use the foyer, or the ballroom? [ and ignore the dripping ink ] If it were warmer, it'd be really nice if we could do it outside, and it'd be just like camping!

Oh, good point!

[It might get a little cramped between everyone...]

Just to be safe, it might be best to stay inside. Oh! What if we use the observatory? If we're all together under the stars, that's almost like being outside!

[ It'd be cozy and people could... No, there's children in the room. The observatory would be just fine. ]

A starry sky and no bugs! That'd be perfect, Ion! I think everybody would love that!

Great! It's settled! Tomorrow night we'll all get together in the observatory!

[Like, they can clearly guarantee this. They're way too popular.]

It's going to be so much fun--and I'm sure we'll all become even closer friends for it!

[ Obviously, nobody can turn them down?? Impossible. ]

Let's go tell everybody now! We can—- [ Ah. He claps his hands together, suddenly ] Actually! Can I ask you a favor?

...oh!

[The abrupt request startles him, but he nods.]

Of course you may. Anything you'd like!

Be good friends with Kyouka! She likes rabbits!

[ And really desperately needs this pick-me-up, considering that trial. A lot of people do. Evan, and Waver, and Nico. But Kyouka has been through A Lot. ]

I can do that!

[Laughing, Ion can't help his smile from stretching from ear to ear.]

Kyouka is a lovely girl, and I'd love to be better friends with her!

She likes cute things and sweet things too, so I think we'd all get along!

[ Let the children be children please ]

Someday, let's all go to the zoo [ menagerie ] together and see if we can find rabbits there!

[ non-murdery forest rabbits
He has simple wishes ]

I'd love to!

[He, too, has very simple wishes.]

If you haven't seen them already, I'd love to show you the cheagles, as well.

What is a cheagle?

[ Cheetah-beagle? A speedy little dog; he hopes so, it sounds cute. ]
