[Week 1, Saturday: Ichigo, Monika]

[purrtagonist]

[it isn't right after the trial-- they all need some time to calm down, don't they?-- but at some point while it's still a reasonable hour for all of them to be awake, Akira is grabbing both Ichigo and Monika and guiding them to Sheep Heavenly]

[because they are getting her a new, non-bloody outfit, gdmit!]

Question. [for Monika] Skirts or leggings?

. . . or both?

[Ann wears both!!]

A kilt would work.

[And now he's imagining it and trying not to crack up, and uh -

It's not working so well.]

Pfft-

[purrtagonist]

[you know what? if Ichigo imagining him in a kilt gets him to laugh, earnestly and without restraint, then he's okay with this]

Do you think they sell kilts here? Or should I put in a special request with Max?

[chr]

Ichigo deserves a special request, don't you agree?

[ monika also just wants to see the look on max's face tbh lmao ]

[bladeisme]

I'll pay you ten ripcoins if you go through with it.

[And then he breaks out laughing, because -

-well-

For once, he doesn't feel sorrowful, or guilty, or any of the other emotions he's been struggling with. For once, he just feels normal - something he hasn't felt in a very, very long time.

And that alone is something worth smiling about.]

Deal. Be prepared to pay up, chump.
