WERK ZERO, MONDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the purple bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and out the door, bounding its way across the grounds. taako will have to be quick to keep up, but the bun seems to be leading him straight to the camp store. the door swings open for the bunny and as taako enters, he'll find purple heart seated on the check-out counter. they bend down to scoop up the bunny as it approaches and leaps into their hand, depositing it on their desk before turning to wave a hand toward taako]

I knew you couldn't get enough of me.

[chaoticlootral]

Again, you're overselling it. Apparently you've got me all tied up in contracts here, my being of indeterminate gender?

W0, POST TRIAL

[gatonina]

[the gray bunny leads taako to the door marked with a new moon, giving him access to the hallway for now to follow it. this room appears to be a standard camp office, with a desk that has a single chair across from it. black shadows, however, is not seated, standing near the window and staring out of it.

they turn to taako when he enters, though.]

Taako. Answers needed? Anything else?

[chaoticlootral]

Oh, brooding. Very on brand.

[Taako just sorta looks around for some place to sit, but it's kinda awkward to go sit directly in Black Shadows chair, so, just plonking his ass on the table.]

We just haven't really talked yet, is all.

WEEK 0, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the purple bunny, it almost casually begins to hop its way down the hall and toward the door marked 3C 💜. the door opens for it, and inside is a standard camp director's office. the bunny hops it way across the floor and toward the desk and it's then that taako will find purple heart seated on the floor as they use their non-bandaged hand to pick up the bunny and depositing it in their lap.]

...feel free to grab a chair. [there are, in fact, actual chairs in the office.]

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako's got a tray from the kitchen - covered with a dish towel, which he deposits on the desk. It's not like, in a super nice way, but.]

Lemon blueberry. Though I don't know if you eat actually? Hm.

[Then sinking into a chair, yeah.]

Though you apparently take damage, which is interesting.

WEEK ZERO, SUNDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and down to the door marked as 3A CONFERENCE ROOM. granting taako access to the hallway temporarily. the door swings open for the bunny and as taako approaches he'll find a relatively cozy space. a couch pushed against one wall, a whiteboard on the wall opposite to the door, and a low circular table with beanbag chairs set around it. there is a water cooler and snack shelf in one corner of the room, and decorative plants can be found here and there. taako will spot winter curled up on a beanbag chair that has been dragged over to the corner with the cooler and snacks, nursing a paper cup in their hands.

they put the cup down and scoop the bunny up once it hops their way, depositing it in their lap.]

...Yes?

[chaoticlootral]

[SUP

well, they seem taken care of on the snack front, but Taako's apparently just brought some with him. Blueberry lemon scones, which I guess I rudely forgot to bring to Black Shadows, so there's some NPC favoritism going on apparently.

He just leaves the tray on the table, sorta. Slamming it down. He's still not gonna be nice about.]

Just, leftovers, and then I thought, oh probably not super hungry after that, because I'm definitely not, but maybe the workout made them hungry? Fuck if I know.

Anyway, is that just water?

W1, TUESDAY

[gatonina]

[the gray bunny will lead taako out into the gardens! black shadows is here, vibing, as the rabbit hops up to alert them to taako's presence. they nod to him, taking a seat on a log bench and gesturing to the other half of it.

also there's a red bow affixed to their hood.]

Hello. Can sit if you'd like.

[chaoticlootral]

[Yup, his ass is right in that seat.]

Accessorizing?

W1, Tuesday

[gatonina]

[after feeding the purple bunny, it dashes off and leads taako out the door and down the hall to the door marked 3C 💜. welcome back, taako. the bunny scampers up its makeshift ramp to the top of the desk right into purple heart's hand where they absently pet its ears with their injured hand. their good hand seems to be holding up a book of some kind, and there's a cooling mug of coffee next to them.]

Good morning. I can get you a cup if you'd like.

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako looks. Kind of rough? It's fine. It's fine! Maybe he's just tired because my shitpost got retroactively so real so quickly. Or the fact that he's incredibly hungover.]

. . . No, I'm-- I'm empty right now, so gonna keep it that way for a bit. I had some follow up questions.

W1, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[not long after taako feeds the purple bunny, it zips down the hall toward a door marked as 3C 💜, granting taako temporary access to the hallway. the door swings open for the bunny and as he enters the office he'll find purple heart seated on the floor with their head tilted back against the wall as the bunny settles in their lap. the lights are a bit dimmed down but not by much? it's fine. upon taako's entrance, however, they turn their head and greet him with a short wave.]

Welcome back.

[chaoticlootral]

[He doesn't wave back. Taako is. Uh. He's shaking a bit? Just like he was when he first got called into the Thieves meeting.]

Not-- That guy who was murdered was Purple. We're down and - Fuck! I can't. I'm not ready. I don't want to. I think they're gonna ask and I can't. I can't.

W2, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[the grey bunny leads taako to the petting zoo, where black shadows seems to be... just chilling with some animals? just chilling here. they're getting in some animal therapy.]

Taako. Can I help?

[chaoticlootral]

[Oh. Animals. Taako seems Uncomfortable, but.]

You know, I used to be able to speak animal. Like, mongoose specifically.

W2, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[as taako feeds the purple bun, it turns and begins to zoom toward a door marked 3A Conference Room. taako has been here before, so nothing about the room has really changed except for the fact that the bunny hops over to the center of the room where junpei's...laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling. his hat is off to the side, and he allows the rabbit to crawl up his chest before he lifts his hand in a wave.] What's up?

[chaoticlootral]

Are we just laying down today? I can vibe with that.

[Gently placing a lemon tart slice directly on his face though first.]

Why us, huh? Really feeling bullied here.

WEEK TWO, SUNDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips past taako and hops down the hallway to the door marked as 3B ❄️. the door swings open for the bunny, and inside taako will find what appears to be a standard camp office. winter wizard sits with their face pressed against their desk... though they do glance up once they hear the door open, and scramble to sit up properly once they notice him.]

Taako. Um. Hi. [...] Long time no speak?

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah-- about that. Wanted to sort some shit out first, and then people started dying and dearmed and it sorta spiraled!

[Putting a slice of lemon tart down for them though!]

W3, TUESDAY

[gatonina]

[not long after taako feeds the purple bunny, it darts out the door quickly and heads straight for the camp store. as the door swings open for the rabbit and for taako, purple heart loops up from his desktop and glances at the empty shop before removing his hat.] Hey. Need something?

[chaoticlootral]

You know anything about what's up with the . . . math sign?

W3 SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[the purple bunny leads taako to purple heart's office and junpei himself is seated at the desk. the bunny runs up her makeshift ramp to stop in front of him, looking at taako curiously. junpei, meanwhile, has his head propped up with a hand as he gestures to taako to sit down.] ...this a business call, or...?

[chaoticlootral]

Thought you'd be more celebratory. They didn't get him.

WEEK THREE, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips past taako and hops down the hallway to the door marked as 3B ❄️. he will find winter sitting at their desk, writing something down on a notebook. they close it once the bunny hops over to them, scooping the blue bunny up and depositing it on the desk.]

Hey, Taako... [they gesture at the two chairs in front of the desk with one hand.] Go ahead and grab a seat.

[chaoticlootral]

Sure, sure . . .

[Flopping into a chair. Then he puts his feet on the desk? Wow.]

You worried? About your team?

W3, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[first of all please never call taako daddy again

second of all, the gray rabbit leads taako to black shadows' office! she flops into a bunny bed that is probably in actuality a smallish dog bed, and shadows nods to him to take a seat.]

Taako. Have not seen you this week. ...doing well?

[chaoticlootral]

I mean. We caught a guy? So at least there's that.

[HE IS SO TIRED. Anyway, just. Sittin' his butt down.]

W4, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[trine leads him to wen ning's office, where he's seated at his desk, just sort of. looking out the window while he sits there? yeah. it's fine. looks almost meditative, honestly.

his attention's drawn when taako follows the bunny in, though, and he looks over with a nod.]

...Taako. Can I help with anything?

[chaoticlootral]

. . . Winter sounded fucked up. She alright?

WEEK FOUR, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[The blue bunny zip past Taako and lead him to the office marked as 3B. He will find Veronica sitting at her desk, her hat on and doing its fucky wucky face thing. She has a wine bottle on the desk along with a half-empty glass. It doesn't look like it's been touched. She sounds subdued when she greets him, though that's to be expected with the chaos that just happened.]

... Taako, what can I help you with?

[chaoticlootral]

. . . I dunno, exactly. But. I just heard you stutter and . . . I was kinda wondering about it.

And then also I guess I saved your murder team, right? I mean, do we need to pretend I don’t know Magnus is is one of your special roles?

W4, SATURDAY

[gatonina]

[not long after feeding the purple bunny, it zips its way over to the lake. it might be confusing why they're here, but there's a lavender tiger tail sticking out from behind the shed. as bun and taako approach, junpei gives him a level stare.

hello?]

[chaoticlootral]

[hey]

Well. Let me have it, then.

WEEK FIVE, THURSDAY

[gatonina]

[Veronica isn't at the office after Happy(?) Engagement, so Bluekie will instead lead Taako to the bonfire area. He will arrive there just in time to see Veronica walking out of the purple cabin, a hand pressed to her chest to keep her shawl in place. Once she spots him, she pauses... and tilts gestures at the blue cabin.]

My place?
