[ Monday morning, some time after breakfast, Hana can find Ponta on a couch in the living room, frowning down at his phone. He's read the new rules and boy, this week doesn't start off any better than the last one ended, does it?
He smiles sarcastically. ]
Is it just me or do they really want us to kill each other?
I'm definitely gonna try talking to them. I've never felt super comfortable with the hole hero team situation, but I'd like to think they're on our side at least somewhat.
[ Whatever the 'sides' here even are. It's hard to tell right now. ]
[ sometime after their group purikura, dva is thinking...thinking... ]
I have two questions for you... one, would you be alright with a nickname related to Citrus. And two, would you like to go shopping for some new fits??
[ she looks very torn about the first one, because they all just learned the citrus lore... but she doesn't want to go calling him by that or even a nickname of it, all of a sudden. don't wanna make people question things... even though it's also his hero name. ]
[ Hey, let him answer before giving a second one! Citrus blinks, catching up. ]
... yes to both, I'd say? I don't even know what name I identify with anymore, so honestly anything that's said as friends is good with me.
[ He thought he'd never adopt the name Citrus ever again (and had been pretty pissed about the hero name initially), but after the way the dinner reveal went, he's kind of liking the way 'Citrus' is getting a nicer association. ]
And sure, let's head out.
[ He's already grabbing his phone and coin purse from the counter. ]
Well, just let me know if it's too much, at any point. [ nods ] Also if you don't want me using it too much in public, just incase you aren't ready to go telling everyone else, yet.
[ she already has her bag, so she just has to slip her shoes on and go! ]
To the mall! Any type of fashion you particularly like, Cici?
Eh, it's fine. I don't plan on a big 'coming clean' with anyone else, but there's no reason to keep it a secret either.
[ Maybe he'll keep up the harmless act a bit more around others, but his real name is meaningless to this world. Nothing will come of it one way or another if people are aware of. He'd hidden it out of pure instinct to start with.
And with that big heavy stuff out of the way, it's time to hit the road and get shopping! ]
Uhh... street fashion, I guess? I mostly just wear stuff that's good to move in for sports reasons. I bet you're ten times trendier than I'd ever know to be.
[ Only in Oceanside does one dread the weekend and look forward to Monday. It's finally peace and quiet again!! Only... Well. Ponta's orange liquid powers have been quite helpful in cooking. If he's already capable of controlling orange juice, why not make use of it for the perfect amount of flavoring for food and--
-- and this is not working. At all.
Instead of floating it where it's meant to go Ponta now has spilled juice all over the counter. He has also summoned a shield. Uh. ]
[ Okay, good, they're both perceiving this. He looks between the shield and Hana, then stops attempting to use his power and... ah, the shield goes poof. That's something. ]
Sooo... you don't happen to have an idea why I have your power, suddenly?
[ The juice is dripping to the floor, but he's still too confused to do something about that. ]
[ However one takes care of a 'power', anyway. Ponta finally picks up a cleaning rag for the mess he made, when another, significantly unfun, thought hits him. ]
... this is going to make next weekend even more of a mess than usual.
dva is looking at the collection of the Aquamarine Fox team, nodding. ]
They didn't do too bad on the details, I must say. We should definitely collect them all and display them back in the dorm. [ especially the norma figure :pleading: they're norma.... ]
I think that'd be pretty-- [ aaaaaand she gets cut off, mid sentence, by a comic strip. rip. ]
[ Citrus watches the whole comic in silence, almost mesmerized. It feels surreal to view right here, in the middle of a store, next to a set of Norma posters. Norma's smiling face, Hana's life...
He smiles thinly when it's all done with. ]
You know, Norma and I had this whole grand idea to get you eating healthy and resting more. I see now we weren't the first ones.
[ And also Hana probably heard them whispering at the dinner table, because they were mostly just being silly. ]

Week 1, Monday
He smiles sarcastically. ]
Is it just me or do they really want us to kill each other?
no subject
she plops down on a chair across from him. ]
Maybe they're bored of the same old heroes versus villains story line.
no subject
[ Like. Half of the place is still shut down for repairs. ]
But maybe they want distraction? What a dark thought...
no subject
Sure do hate the idea of that. That also just makes me think the bad guys are the ones in charge, even more.
no subject
[ Haha, capitalistic spectacle. Haha. ]
But the fact that we don't even know who is above the mayor... It's sus.
no subject
Majorly sus.
no subject
Like, CEOs don't handle all the public business but you still know that a CEO exists.
no subject
We could always try asking Aqua and see if they know anything... or can even say anything. [ sighs ] It could really be either or.
no subject
[ Whatever the 'sides' here even are. It's hard to tell right now. ]
no subject
[ she is choosing to remain optimistic about the leaders involvement in all the chaos. ]
Plus, our team is pretty great, if I do say so myself. [ smiles big ]
no subject
... yeah, it is. It's been comfortable, living together like this.
[ Like a family. ]

Week 3, Monday
-- and this is not working. At all.
Instead of floating it where it's meant to go Ponta now has spilled juice all over the counter. He has also summoned a shield. Uh. ]
Hanaaa? Are you home?
[ HELP EXPLAIN THIS TO HIM. ]
no subject
Huuuuh??
[ she had just left her room, when she hears him calling out for her.
zips into the kitchen, stopping when she sees the juice everywhere and a familiar looking shield. ]
Uh... Hm... I see...
no subject
Sooo... you don't happen to have an idea why I have your power, suddenly?
[ The juice is dripping to the floor, but he's still too confused to do something about that. ]
no subject
No clue. Maybe that's the fun thing this week??
[ she does try to summon her own shield, only for nothing to happen..... blinks. ]
Looks like I can't even use my own power, guess it's all yours for right now.
no subject
[ However one takes care of a 'power', anyway. Ponta finally picks up a cleaning rag for the mess he made, when another, significantly unfun, thought hits him. ]
