[lionson]

[YEAH UH. After that shitshow, he is absolutely going looking for Rufus. Where can he find him?]

[soulus]

[He's outside the inn, looking more than content to be alone in the night. Boy, it would be great if nobody were to bother him. That would be so nice. This is the happiest he's felt all day.]

[lionson]

[Well he's not getting that tonight! Because yeah Shiro is going to go right up to him.]

Hey.

Week 0: Sunday

[soulus]

[Leaving the plaza, he heads to the bridge, where he arrives to find Shiro already there.]

Have you noticed any changes?

[lionson]

I can't summon anything here.

[Yep. Guess who didn't try until today.]

[soulus]

Our powers are sealed in the Realm.

Week 1, Thursday

[lionson]

[What's good, Rufus? Shiro needs to Eat but he will wave Rufus over to join him.]

Hey! You missed all the fun.

[soulus]

[Shiro is a point of interest right now, so Rufus doesn't hesitate to walk over when beckoned.]

What happened?

[lionson]

Haunted mansion. Literally. We had to mess around with a ghost for a bit and then run outta that place once it caught on fire.

For the record, we didn't set it on fire.

week 1, post-trial

[lionson]

[I forgot to ask where Rufus is, but Shiro is on a Mission tonight and is running all over. So wherever Rufus is, Shiro will bump into him eventually.

Literally.]

Shit, sorry about that.

[soulus]

[They're both on the move, so the collision happens when their paths cross somewhere nondescript.]

. . . Why the rush?

[lionson]

I can't sit still right now. I feel like if I don't do something my head's gonna explode.

Week 1, post-execution

[lionson]

[I can't believe this is our 5th PC thread already jfc

BUT YEAH Shiro is searching out Rufus, because the execution is over and now he can pass on the message he was left with. He'll search around town until he finds Rufus.]

Hey. I gotta talk to you.

[...]

It won't waste your time. It's a message I gotta pass on.

[soulus]

[Starting off on business, just the way he likes it. Shiro has Rufus' attention.]

What is it?

[lionson]

I got a message to deliver, straight from Kano himself. He wanted me to tell you it, after...you know.

Week 2: Monday

[soulus]

[A little later in the evening is the perfect time to rummage through the Howling Rose. Inspecting the ammunition in the area with cannons, Rufus lifts his head when he hears footfalls nearby.

"Oh," his face seems to say, "it's just you."]

[lionson]

[Don't mind him, he's just sitting on one of the ammunition crates. He seems to have looted a bottle of liquor from the pub, but he's not drinking yet.]

Fancy seeing you here! If you're looking for guns, sorry to disappoint. Everything here is for the cannons.

[He's cheerful, if nothing else?]

[soulus]

[Too cheerful.]

Do you not know how to fire a cannon?

Week 2, post-trial

[lionson]

[Shiro is in the kitchen tonight! He has grabbed a bottle of booze from the pub, and he's looking in the fridge for a good mixer. He seems unsatisfied with the results though, and he's grumbling to himself as he closes the fridge door. That's when he sees Rufus.]

Oh hey. How're you holding up?

[soulus]

[At the doorway, he looks at Shiro and then at the bottle of booze.]

It's over.

[lionson]

On the contrary, it's just beginning!

[He shakes the bottle slightly.]

Care to join me?

Week 3: Monday

[soulus]

[That night, he approaches the waterfall with slow, measured steps. It's wet around these parts, though, and his foot slips on the corner of a rock and falls into a shallow section of the water with a splash. It isn't loud enough to overpower the sound of the waterfall, but enough to alert anyone else nearby of his presence.]

[lionson]

[It's too bad that Shiro is right there, sitting by the waterfall and looking up at the night sky, because he absolutely hears that splash. And he looks in the direction of it, on high alert, and calls out:]

Who's there?

Week 3, Thursday

[lionson]

[HELLO RUFUS, DR. SHIRO IS HERE TO TREAT UR WOUNDS

Hopefully he's in the infirmary, so Shiro doesn't have to cart him around anywhere.]

[soulus]

[Now that he's been patched up in various dressings, he's resting in bed to ward off the lightheadedness before he attempts to leave the station. The uniform he's wearing is soiled completely and utterly in his gore, but he's no longer bleeding out. His pallor can't be helped after losing so much in the way of blood. His hands have also been bandaged and rest at his sides.

When Shiro enters, Rufus cranes his neck on the pillow to look pointedly at him.]

You're late.
