week 0, satuday post trial

[holeful]

[Fukuda is just mutely pressing some buttons on the food vending machine when he turns around to see Vlad. Ah, the man everyone yelled at during trial.]

You know, you should probably work on your phrasing.
[As he sticks a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.]

[niceguyferatu]

Yes, yes, so I've been told. Did that really warrant voting for me as the murderer though?

[holeful]

[A soft laugh.]

I don't know. I didn't vote for you or miss Beauregard.
[The specificity implies he did vote for someone else.]

week 1, I guess monday???

[holeful]

[Anyway everyone is dressed again for Lisa's sake but stuff definitely happened. Vlad probably wants Fukuda out of his room now but. He is still here.]

Ah, Mr Vlad, you're on Pride, aren't you?

[niceguyferatu]

That I am. What of it?

[holeful]

Well, I know Mollymauk's on Pride, and he wanted people to compliment him.
[Sitting on the end of Vlad's bed as he pulls his suspenders back up.]

So I was wondering if you'd like that, too?

w1, post trial

[niceguyferatu]

[ this is vlad, seated at the bar. He has a flask sat beside him, as well as a half-empty bottle of gin, and he seems to be just staring at the wall with a deep frown as he methodically downs it.

He's. been at this for a while. ]

[holeful]

[Sir.... he will sit down next to him.]

You spent a lot of that trial being mad, Mr. Vlad.

[niceguyferatu]

What? No I didn't.

week 2, Monday

[holeful]

[Fukuda is in the biome garden, holding an ivy vine that he's slowly moving down like it's a cvs receipt he's checking the coupons on. But he looks up when he hears someone else come in.]

Oh, Mr. Vlad. Are you feeling better?
[Did you lose your chad confidence.]

[niceguyferatu]

Mmm yes, quite.

[ he thinks you're talking about his sunday post-trial hangover. he stands firm and tall, hands formally held behind his back. ]

What brings you here today?

[holeful]

I was just counting a little. Just for fun.
[Sir?]

But the air is nice in here, too.

GRAVEYARD week 3, monday

[holeful]

[Fukuda is just sitting on the floor of the viewing room. Or really, he's lying down, propped up against one of the benches so he can look at the reflected images in the crystal. He looks even more like a sad dog than he usually does, and doesn't even turn to look at Vlad when he comes in, but after a moment, he does say something;]

It would be better if these weren't here.

[niceguyferatu]

[ Vlad, in his heinous graveyard outfit, is standing to the side of the bench, watching coolly with his arms crossed. ]

And why, exactly, is that?

[holeful]

[Fukuda sighs.]

It's just reminding us what we can't have.

week 4, tuesday

[holeful]

[Wherever Vlad is, Fukuda is wandering in to come bother him.]

Mr. Vlad, are you doing alright?

[niceguyferatu]

[ I'm gonna say he's sitting on one of the couches in the rundown apartment building, leaning over his knees with his fingers steepled in front of his mouth. He's been staring very intently at the opposite wall until Fukuda shakes him out of it. ]

Ah, Fukuda. I'm doing...well enough, for the moment.

[holeful]

[Yeah that pose is probably why he asked.]

... Are you sure? You look sort of... [like a villain in a movie] like you've got something on your mind.

week 5, wednesday

[niceguyferatu]

[ Vlad spots Fukuda laying down on the couch like the sad dog that he is and, where normally he would just leave him be and carry on, he suddenly feels the need to meddle.

Ugh.

Fine. ]

Are you...alright?

[holeful]

[He pauses, as if confused. Which he is, since it's Vlad asking? Surely he doesn't really want to know.]

Haha.. don't worry about it.

[niceguyferatu]

Are you sure?

You're welcome to... [ SIGHS DEFEATEDLY ] ...talk about it.

week 5, thursday

[niceguyferatu]

QNYMY

Lisa I'm in tears

[holeful]

Mr Vlad? Is something wrong?

week 6, thursday

[niceguyferatu]

Fukuda, come join me in the kitchen, will you? I have something for you.

[holeful]

[There's a long pause because this situation is unfortunately a bit suspicious now.]

Just to be clear.

You aren't still mad about what happened on Monday, right
[Read: If I come in there do you promise not to hit me over the head like I did to you.]
