[This has been.......... a weekend.

Ion will find Veronica in the observatory, sitting on the ground with her knees brought up to her chest. She's activated the sphere in order to see the stars from her own world, and though she looks to be lost in thought, she does lift her head up in order to greet Ion when he enters the room.]

... Hey. [There's. A tiny smile.] Mind closing the door behind you?

[Before they head down to have their depression slumber party with Dazai, Veronica is going to approach Evan with a bundle of sheets in her arms. Which is, you know, a little odd. But, hm.]

... Do you want a hug?

[Might as well ask for permission since she doesn't want to freak him out more.]

[Well.

Time for a sad slumber party by Dazai's cell. Assume someone brought snacks and whatever to make this 20% less miserable than it has to be, but otherwise? It's still pretty bad. And awful. And miserable. Veronica's not in a mood to talk much after that mess of a trial, but she does have enough eloquence to mumble:]

This isn't fucking fair.

[And, you know, glare at the floor as one does.]

[SETTING THIS UP IN ZIA'S PLACE, AS ZIA IS CURRENTLY PERISHING.

Anyway— After everyone has the time to get together again, the Scooby Gang will be ushered into Veronica's room.]

... So, um. I shared the numbers thing with Souji, Dazai and Evan. Just— Just thought I should tell you now, in case it comes up later. [And y'all don't freak!!] What else do we have? Besides the crippling knowledge that we, somehow, missed a whole fucking dead body.

[...

Veronica isn't going to say much of anything once they're all back together in Dazai and Evan's room. Instead, she's going to take a piece of parchment out of her pocket and show it to them.

It's written in her own handwriting, and it reads:]

3 3 3 <- survivors per faction
7 7 7 <- objectives per faction

[HEY, BELPH.

Should he walk past the tailor sometime during Wednesday, he'll hear the telltale sound of someone moving the furniture around. Take a look inside, and he'll spot Veronica trying to knock down a piece of paper that's stuck at the top of the clothing racks, using one of the mannequins to try and knock it down. Being short is a curse?? And she's mumbling profanities while trying to get the piece of paper down.

Help her? Or judge her. Either one works.]

[She waits until the initial panic and hubbub winds down because, honestly, crowding around the injured seems like it'll do more harm than good. Once everyone is presumably taken care of, she approaches her partner... wherever he is after that mess.]

Hey— Um, hey. How are you feeling?

[Hey, Varian.

Should he step into the library on Wednesday morning, he'll spot Veronica trying to get something out of the topmost shelves. It's hard to tell what it is from a distance, but at first glance? It certainly isn't a book. In fact, it looks a little like it's wrapped up in... plastic? Or is that tape? Does tape even exist in ye olde Disney? It is a mystery.

But she doesn't seem like she's noticed Varian yet, mumbling curses as she tries to get the item out without toppling over.]

[Hey, Nico.

Veronica will apologize in a moment if he planned to use the kitchen counters for something, but for now? It looks like she's too busy trying to climb up on them, reaching for something that's peaking out from the top of the kitchen cabinets. Whatever it is, it seems to be entirely black.

If he gets close enough to her, he'll hear her muttering:]

Come on, come on, come on...

[Hey, Rebecca.

At some point during Tuesday, she'll find Veronica holed up in the kitchen. It seems like she's starting to heat up some water, a box of tea and two cups laid out on the counter. When she notices she has company, she smiles at her in greeting.]

I'm making tea. Do you want some?

[BECAUSE IN THIS HOUSE WE LOVE AND RESPECT STEPH—

Steph won't have to wander far from her respective dorm before she hears the telltale noise of metal hitting the ground. Should she investigate the armory, she'll find Veronica carefully stepping away from a pile rusty weapons, apparently having knocked over the contents of a whole ass shelf. Whoops.]

I, um— [HI, STEPH.] I can explain.

[Presumably after all of them have taken a power nap—

Veronica brings the book and the booze to Dazai and Evan's room. Specifically, she brings two bottles of wine as well as four cups because, well. Sometimes, you gotta be a little buzzed to be able to deal with this shit.

Once everyone is in the room and the book is laid out in front of them, she's going to gently........ cradle her face in her hands.]

Oh, god. What have we done?

[MISTAKES. THAT'S WHAT.]

[Veronica's in the process of pouring herself a drink in the kitchen when Rebecca walks in.

She pauses, sets down the bottle, and... after a beat:]

Want me to pour one out for you, too?

[Let's cope badly.]

[Hey, Waver.

He's going to find Veronica standing on the tips of her toes to reach the kitchen cabinets, her face dripping like she may or may not have just poured a cup of water over her head. It seems that she's looking for the booze...? If there's any left after this mess, anyway, even with the kitchen getting repaired and all.]

[...

There is no meta text distraught enough to describe how Veronica feels, so. Yeah.

Anyway, wherever he is — Varian is getting a hug after that mess. No words. Just... hugs now.]

[...

There isn't really any bracket text distraught enough to describe how Veronica feels right now.

Evan will find her carrying two bottles of liquor, presumably pilfered from the kitchen so she can get drunk elsewhere. She's obviously been crying, and she doesn't bother to conceal this fact when she spots him.

After a beat:]

... I'm going to the earth suite if you want to join me.

[She's emo.]

[Wow. Everything sure did go to shit!

It's somewhat late in the night. Late enough that they've had at least an hour or two to cool off from the trial. Doesn't mean it's enough to feel any less shitty, though, or any less frustrated.]

Fourteen people got at least one vote, and we still didn't get it right.

[Hi, Steph. They're major fuckups. This is fine.]

[She's less ~forceful~ than she was last week, but that doesn't mean she doesn't hunt him down an hour after the trial like she did last week. This time, at least, she's not greeting him with snark.]

... What do you plan to do now?

[About the partnerless, she means. The four partnerless she was hoping to avoid, really. But, well.]

[What a hecking mess.

Anyway, the first thing Veronica is going to say when she spots Belph is:]

We fucked up.

[You know what

she's just going to

grab Varian by the shoulders after Yams has been taken away

and haul him somewhere private.]

Akechi has one of the partner roles.
