[ obligatory fit check instead of sexy angel costume! though at least now i can mention that yves was probably covered in bandages beneath his angel costume earlier so it wasn't even that scandalous. if nothing else, it just shows that the lace half mask he was wearing wasn't just part of the costume - it's an outfit staple. yay!

WHEREVER CHARLIE IS? I'LL RNG IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOCATION SIPP but he's just going to approach her wherever! ]

Hello! I don't think we've met yet - I'm Yves!

[ WHAT A NORMAL INTRODUCTION ]

[productionhell]

[ let's say cafe so they can eat cutely together while they argue over who has to stand and who gets to sit (because they will both offer to stand) ]

[ here is charlie and here is current fit check ]

Oh, hello! My name is Charlie, it's a pleasure to meet you, Yves.

[ smiling brightly at him!! she definitely notes the mask, but is too polite to ask ]

Would you like to grab some food with me?

[noirges]

[ they will truly both offer to stand but awwwWWW SHE'S SO CUTE CHARLIIIEEE BURSTS INTO TEARS ]

It'd be my honor!

I'm glad that food at least is something we don't have to worry about around here.

[productionhell]

[ this is the beginning of a kawaii ass friendship ]

Mine as well. I've heard the cafe does food that looks like animals! Can you believe that? Actual animals, oh em gee.

Yes, that's a relief. Though I wish people wouldn't be so wasteful with it... [ flashbacks to burger and nuggie mountains ]

[noirges]

"Oh em gee"!

[ he repeats it, because that's a very cute phrase and he thinks that it suits! ]

Ahaha, well, I'm sure at least some of it is accidents. People aren't used to the type of ordering system from what I could tell...

[ optimistic view of the group... ]

[productionhell]

[ oh she is so delighted he's on her wavelength. she's beaming ]

Yes -- some people aren't used to technology at all. But that's okay! We just have to help them out so that accidents like this don't happen again.

[ matches your optimism, matches your optimism, matches--- ]

[noirges]

[ HELP THIS IS TRULY JUST FEEDBACK LOOP FOREVER

but yves nods! ]

Yeah, exactly! Do you know technology well, Charlie? I feel like I'm still learning the ropes, even though I've seen screens like this before in Cerneveaul...

week 0, tuesday

[noirges]

[ WOW IT'S THE BEACH. yves is loving it here! he's rolled up the cuffs of his pants and pushed up his sleeves, abandoning his coat to just welcome the sweet spray of the ocean. he inhales the next sea breeze that comes, and hums softly to himself as he exhales. looking out at the big ocean, he talks to himself - or to someone not quite here ]

It's almost like home... I hope you're not too mad at me for going ahead, Hugo.

[ though when he notices someone approaching, he'll turn and offer up a grin ]

Oh hey! How're you doing, Charlie?

[ aaand his arms are opening for a hug like when you are greeting a good friend okay hi there ]

[productionhell]

[ charlie is in a cute red and black sundress, and she is barefoot so her hooves are out!! ]

Yves!

[ she would never leave a friend hanging even if it wasn't affection week, so she is going in for the hug ]

I'm good--- I love this beach! It's so much nicer than the beaches in Hell! [ no shit ] How are you?

[ and who is hugo? ]

[noirges]

[ HUUUUG!!! she gets a big affectionate squeeze - and he'll lift her up for a little spin if she wants!! ]

I'm good! A little nostalgic... We had a beach back in my island, too. So I guess I just started thinking about people and places left behind.

[productionhell]

[ she loves the spinnies!!! so happy!! ]

Oh, I see.... I can understand that. [ though hell's beaches are nowhere that nice ]

You must miss them.

[noirges]

[ he'll place her back down gently, and offer up a smile ]

Of course.

You miss where you're from too, right?

[productionhell]

[ she gives him a smile too, though it's a little sad ]

More than anything.

[ she will sing about it don't think she won't ]

week 5, post-trial

[noirges]

[ he's around the area, probably just exploring the graveyard a little bit more. he waves hello when he sees that he has company ]

Charlie! Where's your favorite place to be around here?

[productionhell]

[ charlie was worried and came to look for him ]

Probably the hotel. Have you picked a room yet?

[ oh, also: ]

How are you feeling?

[noirges]

I'm probably going to bother Adolphe to let me stay with him. Even if he says no, I'll probably pick a room nearby.

[ attached.... ]

Mm... I'm okay. I knew it was Monsieur Lucas early on, I guess I'm just... trying to think of what I need to do.

[productionhell]

That might not be a bad idea. I'm worried about him, but I'm not sure I'm the best person to help.

[ offers hand for holdsies if he would like..... ]

Well, I won't push you to talk if you don't want to. But I hope you know I'll always be here for you, no matter what.

[noirges]

... worried...?

[ a little concerned,, ]

But I know. [ reaching to take her hand and squeeze it ] I really am okay. I was surprised when he attacked me but... not as much as others, probably.

[productionhell]

It just seems like... the weekly effects hit him very hard. Last week was particularly bad, the... emotion sharing.

[ holds his handsie automatically after the squeeze ]

Can I ask why...?

week 6, tuesday

[noirges]

[ okay they're in hiding away from the goose

get hit by a memory! ]

[productionhell]

[ charlie's just recovering from goosegate, hanging out with yves, when they're unfortunately close to a reflective surface and a memory plays out ]

[ she always did wonder, deep down, if yves was like her. aggressively focusing on other people's problems so she doesn't ever have to think about her own situation. and seeing this tragedy play out, it doesn't dissuade her from thinking it. ]

Yves...

[ she looks stricken. maybe he's long over this, maybe not, but she starts to reach towards him, only stopping long enough to ask permission (because boundaries are important!) ]

I want to give you the biggest hug. Is that okay?

[ she's barely restraining herself for going for it ]

[noirges]

[ it sure is a rough one the island sure is crazy. but well. yves knows his own life. he's not too caught up over it, given that sometimes he tells people about it himself if they end up asking about his mask. for the people who are too polite, there's memshare.

but he smiles softly when charlie asks and he opens his arms wide ]

Of course it's okay. For me, you don't have to ask.

[ he'll always welcome touch and if he doesn't then he's probably hiding for a reason,, ]

[productionhell]

[ she immediately sweeps him up into a huge hug as soon as she gets permission, holding him tightly. she's got ridiculous cartoon thinness but her hug is warm and encompassing, maybe surprisingly so ]

Do you have people who cherish you, Yves?

[ it's a bit forward for her, but, it will break her heart if the most kindness he's known is pity and also that random merchant who isn't an important character or anything ]

[noirges]

[ soooooo cute. yves will just happily welcome this hug, giving her an embrace right back. it's probably just the comfiest hug in the world between the two of them ]

... I do. [ softly, and with a little bit of awe ] Somehow, I do.

I believe that now. I think not believing it would be rather rude to them.

[productionhell]

[ absolutely. as long as he doesn't pull away, she won't, so this is going to be a very long and comfortable hug ]

I'm so glad. [ she's tearing up, just out of happiness that he's loved, cherish, and not alone ] And I'm so glad you believe it. After all of that, it must have been difficult to believe in people again.

I'm one of them, so you know. Someone who loves you.

[ 110% sincerity even if they don't really know each other that well ]
