[WEEK 1, WEDNESDAY SOMETIME: Nino]
[it's been five days and Magilou still hasn't had a mai tai. what's up with that anyway??]
[on Wednesday, at any point in time, Magilou can be found sitting outside of her hut, legs crossed and book propped open in her lap. she's staring at it with furrowed brows, the tip of her quill tucked in her mouth. also she's wearing her ridiculous canon outfit now, if only because her swimsuit and sun dress are currently hanging from a tree, drying in the sun]
[WHAT'S UP NINO DO YOU APPROACH]

[WHAT'S UP NINO DO YOU APPROACH]

no subject
[Of course Nino's going to approach, she's Nino. She's wearing her own proper clothing now and significantly more comfortable in it, though she ditched the cloak (too hot here for that)--
But she just looks happier in general, really.]
Hello again!
no subject
Ooooh, it's you!
[. . . she probably remembers Nino's name. probably.]
How's the roommate situation coming?
no subject
Oh... um.
Well!
Jaffar said he wanted me to stay with him instead... but--! Um, I'm not giving up on standing up to her, either...!
no subject
[she smiles a bit, even though it doesn't quite reach her eyes]
Well, I suppose that is one solution. Keep fighting though, kiddo. I'm rooting for ya.
no subject
Um, but in the meantime... I guess I wanted to ask--!
Are you okay, Miss Magilou?
no subject
[immediately and visibly taken off guard by that question because guess who has never ever been asked that in like her entire life]
Haaaah?
Do I look like I'm not okay?
no subject
[Thanks, Nino.]
But... it's kind of scary, isn't it? The news, and...the "game" and everything, and sometimes even the people who look the most okay can be scared, or worried, or nervous!
So I wanted to check on you!
no subject
I'm fine, kiddo.
[she smiles again]
I can't say I'm any of those things. Nervous, scared, angry, worried or the like. I'm just a little bored, actually.
no subject
[Bored??? Magilou???]
... So you think everything's going to be okay? That's a relief! I really wanted to believe, too...!
[Interprets that generously.]
no subject
[Nino is interpreting that so optimistically that Magilou almost feels bad]
No.
[her expression hardens, smile vanishing]
I hate to say it, but it's better that you gave he truth now rather than later. It isn't going to be okay.
Someone is going to die at the hands of another person on this island in just a few short days.
no subject
Brutal.
Nino's quiet for a long moment, aside from a sharp breath in--
And then she wilts, shoulders slumping. Her family was a family of assassins, okay... this doesn't actually surprise her.]
... I wonder...
I wonder what'll happen. When...when it really does happen.
[Who will it be? How will people react? She just doesn't know.]
no subject
I dunno. It's hard to say. The Chiefs did mention it'd be everyone else's responsibility to figure out the killer, so I guess we'll be going on a metaphorical witch hunt.
no subject
[Saying shit like "I'm bored" at a time like this???]
I don't know what people will think, but... I know you're a good person, even if you try to pretend otherwise. Just...don't pretend too hard, okay?
no subject
Nonsense!! I'm a cruel and villainous witch! What would ever give you the idea that I'm a good person??
no subject
Because you helped me.
1/2
no subject
T-t-t-that was a fluke! And my advice didn't help, anyway!
no subject
BRIGHTLY.]
Oh, but it really, really did! I mean... I still have to try really hard to make it happen, but...
I think... that I feel braver because of what you said.
no subject
Well, I hope you know that it doesn't matter to me if you feel brave or not! I was just telling you the truth!
[tsun tsun]
no subject
Heheh. [That's why she seems thoroughly unbothered by this.]
I think that's probably even better.
You were really helpful, just by telling the truth!
no subject
. . .
There's no convincing you otherwise, is there. . . you're totally going to ruin my reputation here!
no subject
What reputation?
[Whatchu talking about, Magilou]
no subject
[THAT ONE]
no subject
[:T!!]
Why do you want to come across as a bad person so much, Miss Magilou?
no subject
[. . .]
S-something else black and cold!
no subject
[Nino???]
Just watch! I'll find a way to prove it once and for all!
no subject
Fine! For every piece of evidence you present that proves my kindness, I'll do something horrible in return. Like. . .
Put dead fish in someone's pillow case!
[WHAT]
no subject
N-no... don't do that!
[A beat.]
But... I won't let that stop me either! Because... I want to prove to you that you're a good person, and I want to prove to you that I can do it, too!
[That she can do what Magilou said--that she can stand up for herself.]
no subject
[it's way easier to be stupid and silly about this than to continue being like WHY THIS over Nino trying to prove she's a nice person when she is OBVIOUSLY??? NOT??? GOD]
no subject
[Itp: Nino is serious and fierce over the stupidest of things.]
no subject
Then that settles it. You're my official rival. I think we need to come up with code names in order to seal the deal.
no subject
Code names...?
[???]
no subject
That's right! ♪ Code names will make marketing the action figures they make of us way more marketable!
no subject
Oh...okay... [???]
What do you want... your code name to be?
no subject
The Theatrical Thaumaturge!
no subject
Um... um--! [It sounds so intense and amazing and elegant and--]
Then... Then I want to be the Spunky Mage!
[No Nino.]
no subject
[judging u Nino]
no subject
[She's not good at this.
She can't even read. Her vocabulary is not that large.]
no subject
no subject
... Oh, okay. Okay! So...they're like special names just for us?
[She never had a childhood, so. This is all brand new.]
no subject
no subject
[She's taking this way too seriously...but at least she seems to be having fun?]
no subject
Well, at least you sure pick up on things quickly.
no subject
[Too bad, Magilou, remember when this was a conversation about how BAD you are.
Now it's not.]
Besides...this feels kind of special! Like...something sneaky, just for us!
