[ just hanging out in the lobby of the mansion, still looking at profiles on his phone and matching them to the people he sees as they pass by. he's not necessarily saying anything to most of them, but— ]
S'pose you'll have to hold off on the poison for a while if you want to get through this thing, eh?
[ sometime after execution, probably out on the beach or something. ]
Hey. How you holdin' up?
[ less concern and more genuine curiosity, though it's hard to tell from his tone. yves has seemed like a near endless font of optimism from what he's seen so far, so he's interested to see if that's still the case, especially with charlie out of the picture now. ]
[ well. he is a little grouchy. he’s frowning as he walks along the shallows, occasionally kicking up water - and then he looks up when addressed. the smile he gives is tired, but it is sincere ]
Ahaha… I would be surprised if anyone was entirely okay after that.
[ yves........ is so bad at clean-up. he should probably help with it, or he might just come back the next day hungover as hell, but for right now after the party is over he's just flopped on one of the blankets looking up at the aurora giggling happily to himself ]
Good night, good night...
[ he means this in the sense of 'that was a good night' but it sure does sound like he's going to bed ]
[ meanwhile fidelio is living up to his A in diligence, getting everything in order. he's still in a pretty good mood (even if having to clean up damage from that FUCKING GOOSE along with the rest of the party is pissing him right off!!) and just looks amused rather than irritated by yves's slacking. ]
What, you 'bout to pass out here? Bas ain't carryin' you all the way back to the mansion.
[ what a trial! yves is over a the bar and he's got a mug of beer with him. it's still mostly full, like he's drinking it slowly for once. there's an empty chair nearby with another mug, along with a little photo frame.
when he notices he has company, he perks up with a smile and waves. ]
[ somewhere in the new areas, you might encounter a familiar face—sort of! yves is looking around with curiosity, but his face is... maskless? where there is normally half a mask, there is just clear, umblemished skin. though the more you look at him, you might realize that his eyes are... different. the center of his pupil has an unnatural cyan glow to it, and his smiles no longer reach his eyes. as though the heart of the emotion is no longer accessible to him. ]
[ yeah, he doesn't look great. he's been a nervous wreck ever since basilio got back, of course, and it doesn't look like the hours of forced sleep last night did him a lot of good.
[ looping back to the funhouse at some point after the initial fair investigation since there was nothing weird about it last time — but this time, a memory (1:01:17 - 1:03:50) plays across the mirrors. ]
...The hell was that?
[ just confusion though, no anger. his expression's actually a little softer than usual after the memory finishes. ]
[ whoa. yves startles a little bit at then looks thoughtful before looking back at del and smiling ]
Dunno, but I kinda liked it...
[ magnus bros diner! so cute! ]
Have you ever thought Gabriel about seeing if we can construct a little extension at the bar? Shared diner and bar space for you two and him? Or I guess we can build something of our own if we really try....
[ he truly never processes how bad his injuries are
but yves looks sheepish even as he's been patched up. everything else is hidden under his hospital clothes but his face has gauze taped on at his cheeks ]
I'm sure Bas would agree with me that better us than you, Fidelio...
but yeah he's in the hospital, sitting up in a bed all bandaged up. also i'm sorry i forgot to go back to plurk and somehow never saw the notif for this starter on my own account i am a MESS ]
don't worry about that fidelio. yves was hanging out at the bar and he was already kind of drowning in his guilt, sense of failure, and self-hatred. it spikes a little, even though it's not fidelio's fault at all. ]
[ yves looks a little tired like he hasn't slept well but who gives a shit about that! not me! someone ate what he wasn't supposed to again and the tattoos are just around on neon green text around his body glowing through his clothes because he dresses like a nun more than lucas does
- murdered more than one friend - left home country to ruin - in love with too many people - acts like a needy bottom when he's actually a switch
anyway sits with del wherever he is ]
How did the date go after Koharu and I left you both? I'm realizing I forgot to ask with everything else going on.
[ ok iT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!! YVES IS MAKING HIS ROUNDS TO SEE PEOPLE and he's bringing a gift with him. it's a paper flower again, but this time in the shape of a lycoris, just like the ones on his halo. it has both red and black petals, and it truly looks so hilariously goth from someone so sunshiney
