I'm not so sure... if the doors are meant to be a distracting kind of entertainment, I think he would be able to see what's happening in any of them.

Oh, speaking of flowers! I got a letter about the first bouquet I received! It turns out Sieghart sent it! But when he tried to explain more, his letter got all messed up...

[She'll dig in a pocket... and show it!]
Estelle

The one who sent those flowers was me. Not everyone ██████ █████ █ tragedy, and ███ ███ ██████ ███ pleasant. If you can sleep well, it means there's a ████ ██████ █████ ███ and you can ████ █ ████ ████ with your friends. In other words, sweet dreams are the best kind of dreams. Don't you agree?

Sieghart
That probably means he was trying to tell me something important... right?

[ Just because he's been asked to do it, now means he really does not want to. ]

He says something about brutes being a distraction, yeah?

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-22 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm inclined to think it's the latter... maybe it would allow us to talk more openly about sensitive matters. Or maybe it's not just for us on this side...?

[ He taps this part of the letter.

"There is the possibility that having an activity is distracting, as someone might be drawn to the more entertaining activity and ignore the rest, but I believe it will be gratifying all the same." ]
battling: ([4k] Nero's a shit liar)

[personal profile] battling 2022-07-22 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, feel like anything that got blocked out is important. Somebody is making damn sure we ain't on the same page.
battling: ([M] Sigh)

[personal profile] battling 2022-07-22 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Keep those eyes on somethin' more interesting to him so we can talk easier.

[He'll share a letter too sure:]

You all know I love a good party, right? Maybe you should entertain a dead man's wish, yes? I took great joy in seeing you all at the meeting this week, but I do wonder if we could spice it up perhaps? Some people find plain old information being delivered at a simple group meeting so boring, so perhaps you could allow them to go about distributing it in a far more entertaining way?

Maybe some rousing games to take us away from the dreariness of this place? A party? Those, of course, who would prefer to stay away from all the liveliness (I speak to perhaps one or two people in this letter alone) could perhaps find a much quieter spot to chat business properly as the partying can be very distracting.

I miss you all terribly. I am of the firm belief that even if one █████ ██ █ ██████ █████ ██ █████ █████████, ████ █████'█ ██████ ███████, ████ ████ ███████ █████ ██ ██ ██. Wishing you all the best ███ ██████ ███ █ ██████ ████ █████ ███ ██████ on here ████████ ████. Perhaps same time ████ ████?

Yours,
Kaeya Alberich


[Rin is not his usual cheerful self though. That note that got put up right before curfew was very oof to him, and he's sitting around looking troubled. Occasionally he pulls out some trading cards to look at them, but otherwise he'll be quiet unless someone approaches him.]

I'll leave ya to mope if you wanna, but do you wanna talk?

[You're really not looking great, kiddo.]

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-22 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
So they're not just urging us to do dangerous things, but anything adequately distracting...

[She thinks on that for a few moments, but can't ignore how miserable Rin looks. So while she's near enough to see that letter, she places a hand on his back, if he'll let her.]

[Does he want to mope? Yes. Yes he does. But he knows that won't help, so.]

I've been trying really hard the entire time, you know? Ever since day one! I've been telling them again and again, 'don't do anything stupid', 'no killing people', 'it's not worth it, we just have to keep living'. But every time I think I finally got through to 'em, something else happens. Someone gets possessed by a shadow, or someone dies, or someone disappears on a Thursday and comes back all beat up, or...

[Well. Everyone saw the letter.]
aono: (18 - w)

[personal profile] aono 2022-07-22 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like it, yeah. We gotta be really dramatic I guess.

[Acting's not really Rin's strong suit though. He wears his heart on his sleeve, it's obvious when he tries to lie.

He doesn't pull away from her, though. Come sit with him Estelle.

These would be easier to figure out if people just talked normal.

[All these ancients and their weird ways of writing...]
mustbepurged: (pic#14537824)

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-22 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
We'll figure something out. I'm sure of it.

[She'll sit with him!

... and after a few moments, she'll hand him the flower she's holding.]


Here. You can have this.

[Yes, yes small child.

He leans against a wall and listens to Rin having an incredibly bad time.]


You can't blame people for gettin' possessed. [Bradley punched Diluc not that long ago.] And the Thursdays are apparently the Nightguy's doing. Least nobody died on those, thanks to the programmin' or what ever.

[About Hua Cheng. Well, he wasn't that close with Sylvain or anything but Rin sure seems to be taking this one hard.] People make decisions. You can hate them as much as you want, but it ain't gonna undo whatever damage they caused. Who's dead is dead. What happened happened.

When all ya can do is move forward, that's what you do.

[he blinks a couple of times as he looks at Estelle, and then to the flower in his hands.]

What's this for?
aono: (28 - w)

[personal profile] aono 2022-07-22 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
And I don't blame people for getting possessed, they can't really do much about it. But...

[But there is a giant eyepatched-elephant in the room, and Rin hates it.]

...I told him not to. I told him to promise that he wouldn't, so long as he wasn't possessed and wasn't protecting someone else. But...

It's a poplar flower. In flower language, it means "endure and conquer."

Think of it like a good luck charm for getting through difficult times.
