WEEK 8

[lockdownmods]

[When you wake up, there's a text message in all of your inboxes, warning about how stressful exams week can be. The email comes replete with names of study sessions, tutoring hours, and free pizza on other parts of the campus. And it encourages you to check online for the exam schedule based on your class and section number.

There's also a note that there will be weekly stress puppy pop ups to help you relax? So that's nice and thoughtful! But ultimately, at Fayflower, they just want to make sure everyone has what they need to do well on their exams.

What a nice email.

But things have obviously deteriorated around you, with the wall looking visibly... damaged? If you get close, it's extremely easy to lose track of yourself... and you might come away with a few bruises you didn't know you got. Who knows. Maybe Terra?

Happy final week.]

Well, I still have some leftover cake if you wanted some from earlier and I could always make some chicken karaage really quick as a snack if you'd like. It's something that's good even if it's cold, so if you end up keeping yourself inside the robotics lab again, at least you'd have something to eat.

[newhire]

Cake...?

[Suddenly her mouth drops as if she realized something she forgot.]

Cake!! Oh-- cake, cake, cake...

[Vivienne suddenly digs in her coat pocket for something and-- pulls out a pocketwatch. Or at least it looks like a normal pocketwatch. It looks old fashioned on the outside but the inside is-- well it's very high tech.]

I um... here.

[Time for an awkward mom gift!!]

[swordsinternally]

Huh?

[ He's surprised about the gift, especially when he sees that it's a pocketwatch, he can't help but be in awe. ]

What... is this?

[ He knows it's a pocketwatch, but that's not what he's asking. Not really. It's more like he wants to know why this of all things? He actually likes things that he can tinker with. ]

[newhire]

Um, well-- I'm not good at making many things but I wanted to make something...

So, um... if you open it... you can set it to respond to your fingerprint, on the face and... it'll open, and there's a small storage compartment in it to lock small things away. So... it's more than just a watch.

[swordsinternally]

Ah...

[ He trails off a bit, his cheeks burning scarlet as he scratches the side of his cheek, awkward. ]

It's okay. I don't think I could have made anything like this myself unless someone taught me, but to have someone put in effort to make something specifically for me... it means a lot. Really. I'll treasure it a lot.

[newhire]

Oh good, I'm... I'm just so glad you like it.

[She's truly relieved.]

There will be time to teach you later. For now um, just-- Happy Birthday!

[swordsinternally]

Yeah. I mean... you're probably really hungry, so that's a priority first.

[newhire]

Oh right. That chicken-- sounds really good right about now.

[swordsinternally]

Then, what are we waiting for? Let's head to the kitchen.
