week 0, saturday

[recrowns]

[you'll have to excuse soo-won if he's tilting his head when he notices you walk into... wherever they are, taako! the inn probably?

though he'll just eventually ask - ]

Ah, excuse me.

Are you Lup's brother who's often bullied for being too pretty?

[sure let's start with that]

[uhhhmagic]

[There is like a moment where you can almost just see his ego grow three sizes at that, immediately starting to flip the end of his braid and popping a hip to one side.]

Wow, and you must be my favorite. Hey. Sup?

WEEK 0 - TUESDAY

[uhhhmagic]

[Hey. This is on Tuesday because I needed a nap, but, it's happening now. Taako will find soo-won sometime on tuesday - though he's keeping a bit of a distance. He does put down something in a napkin and slide it over to him though.]

Stay . . . like, that far away. Everyone's all touchy feely and it's weird as shit.

[recrowns]

[I ALSO NEEDED A NAP IT'S COOL IT'S FINE -

anyway soo-won is going to blink as he goes to receive the napkin, looking curious]

Haha, not a fan of physical contact? I understand, your personal space is noted.

[he will not even reach for a hand]

week 0, friday

[recrowns]

[he's making tea, because apparently this is all my characters' response to stress -

but he's also going to be looking at his PHS as if it can give him any additional hints or information. it won't, but he also feels odd not trying. when he hears footsteps approaching he looks up, he offers a smile - though considerably more tired than the rest of the week]

... care for some tea?

[uhhhmagic]

Y'all like your liquid comfort, huh?

[This isn't the first beverage he's been offered.]

Hey, don't freak out yet, I've done this adventure before. Except we were on a train that time.

week 0, post-trial

[recrowns]

[soo-won's heading into the kitchen to make tea - but taako's already there!

and he's just going to smile upon realizing this, offering a wave in greeting and:]

So... how about those Knicks?

[he's trying]

[uhhhmagic]

Tch-- terrible. They should never have traded Porzingis.

[Taako waves back a little, pulling his (fishtail) braid over his shoulder.]

Does the tea really help?

week 1, post-inves

[recrowns]

[WELL, AFTER HE DROPS OFF THE BODY

he looks a bit tired, and will honestly go to find taako after all of that. presumably they were too busy being sad on the shuttle to talk about what happened???? but]

... I apologize for leaving you. Are you alright?

[uhhhmagic]

Physically, fine. Emotionally? I suppose I'll have to recover from the trauma of an almost stabbing.

[ . . . ]

Uh, sucks about Sharon though, she was funny.

week 1, post-trial

[recrowns]

[well that sure happened

soo-won is going to go find taako though, wherever he is!]

... Taako.

[uhhhmagic]

[He's in the garden - though he's just sitting on the ground, puffing away at . . . something. It sure doesn't smell like a cigarette, but it's fine.]

Hey.

[ . . . ]

Guess I did waste a bunch of time, right?

week 2, monday

[recrowns]

[SOMETIME ON MONDAY - soo-won is actually going to go look for taako!! and he'll brighten up when he sees him]

Oh, Taako -

I have a question. Do you remember everything you said to me on Saturday?

[he's just

so curious because wow taako was so honest]

[uhhhmagic]

[Taako's just hanging out, adjusting his Slutty Pirate outfit and looks perfectly happy to see Soo-won until his Emotional Honesty is brought up. At which point he looks extremely tired.]

As far as I can tell.

WEEK 2 - POST-INVEST

[uhhhmagic]

[is soo-won in his blankie fort. god i hope so. just. leaning over by the entrance of it.]

Helllloooooooooooo?

[recrowns]

[he is and he's going to perk up when he notices taako and pat the spot next to him]

Hello.

week 2, post-trial

[recrowns]

[he's heeeeeere and he's bringing along a tray! on the tray there's a teapot, a couple of cups, and... a bottle of whiskey? lmao okay. but he's coming along to approach taako with a smile]

I'm afraid I don't have anything to smoke this week... but some tea? Even if it's just for you to hold onto?

[no hard feelings if taako doesn't want to drink soo-won's smelly tea]

[uhhhmagic]

I'll risk the whiskey, honestly.

[bro someone literally got poisoned in trial today.]

WEEK WHATEVER THIS IS. 3. THURSDAY.

[uhhhmagic]

[Hi taako's been deposited in the clothing store, and he's just laying on the ground in a pile of Kigu. Staring at the ceiling.]

Oh-- hey.

[recrowns]

Hello.

[well that's fine! soo-won will go sit behind him with a smile]

How're you feeling? Any better?

[given the like

magical healing flames]

week 3, post-trial

[recrowns]

[well that was a mess. but soo-won is going to the kitchen - he doesn't look great, honestly. he looks tired, pale, but idk maybe that just happens after trial. he seems to be reaching for some tea but hopefully he can find taako on his way there]

Ah...

Care for something to warm your hands?

[given how rarely taako indulges in drinking with him]

[uhhhmagic]

Sure, I guess.

[Taako is . . . more distracted than anything.]

Wish we could have done right by Yoshizawa.

week 4, monday

[recrowns]

[WHEREVER TAAKO IS - soo-won is going to find him]

Oh! Taako, there you are.

I wanted to ask you about something. Do you have a moment?

[uhhhmagic]

[He's just hanging out! God he honestly just loves cowboy town.]

Oh, yeah, sure-- what's up?

WEEK 4 - SUNDAY

[uhhhmagic]

[Hi Soo-won. Where you at. Taako’s waving if he sees him.]

Oh, hey, what’s up. Here for the, uh, debrief?

[recrowns]

[soo-won is just exiting the kitchen with a tray of tea - but his expression softens when he sees taako.

and he'll go to sit with him, pouring cups for them both]

I suppose?

Does the debrief include getting to know how you're feeling?

week 5, post-investigation

[recrowns]

[it's a little bit harder to find him after yona's body is brought back. it was as if everything was genuinely fine one moment - a mystery of a bouquet of lilies and a toaster to solve - and then suddenly it wasn't. but he left quickly before anyone could take a moment to seek him out, because -

because what words do you say to someone, after they've suffered a loss like this?

eventually he'll come back in the very late evening, even if his moments are a bit slow, lacking any real intention or purpose in where he's going except to take him back to the inn. taako can find him either on his walk back, or when he's making a cup of tea for himself before bed.

it seems like today he's not going to say hi first.]

[uhhhmagic]

[Taako will just

slide an egg tart across the counter. This is as good as he gets at comfort.]

You should-- eat something?

week 5, post-execution

[recrowns]

[taako freaked out so hard goddaamn - soo-won looks a little sheepish when he goes to find him, and... he's bringing along more hand sanitizing wipes. like a gift.]

Feeling any better...?

[soo-won himself is a little pale but. welp.]

[uhhhmagic]

[heh

goddaamn.]

[Taako looks a bit sheepish himself when he's handed a bunch of wipes, but he takes them.]

Yeah. I mean. If I haven't died yet, probably won't take me out, right?

week 6, tuesday

[recrowns]

[well he's a little late, because he was a llama

but at some point he's going to be somewhere.... just staring at his phs, as if trying to figure out whether or not he wants to hit a certain button it! but when he looks up at the sound of footsteps, he offers a smile to taako]

Good day. Hope you haven't gotten hit by any nasty curses?

[uhhhmagic]

[huffing.]

Only like. Twelve. What's up with you?

week 7, friday

[recrowns]

[soo-won admittedly doesn't seek anyone out immediately - but there is a probably familiar aroma coming from the kitchen? his usual tea, very floral and oh so very fragrant, as he works on pouring himself a cup.

at the sound of footsteps, he seems to be prompted to pour a second cup, even before he realizes who it is.

though when he sees that it's taako - his expression softens, and he holds the cup out regardless]

Hello again. It's good to see you.

[uhhhmagic]

[Sure yeah he’ll take it





Then immediately dump it over Soo-won’s head.]
