uncurtained | pc catchall for higekiri (banzais)

[When Higekiri comes looking for Beck, he finds her in the industrial kitchen. It doesn't look like she's making any food; instead, she has a kettle on to boil, and some tea from the pantry sitting out. She gives him a small wave as he comes in.]

Hey there.

[She seems calmer than last night - calm enough to give him a smile, at least.]

[good day.

hope that we're all having a good time with our puzzles!! but after they're all done, it looks like they're free to go! so that means we're all being dumped out into the open and somehow, higekiri's paths will cross with beck.

it might be worth noting that he's shirtless. it seems like his white clothes are neatly tucked underneath his arm, but he's unfairly casual as he strides out easily into the hallway, chest and shoulders seeming to glisten just a bit (don't touch them, they're stick). he ends up making eye contact with beck, and he - as usual - crosses an arm across his chest before he bows to her in greeting

and then offers a smile, as though he's not gloriously half-naked, dancer's physique on display]

Were you able to solve your puzzle?

[he's not even

going to address it]

[It's a few hours after the announcement plays that Beck is in the kitchen. She can't say she really has an appetite after all that, and maybe that's why when she sees Higekiri, she's ignoring whatever she might have been eating to glance his way.]

...Hey there.

[WHEREVER BECK IS

higekiri will go to find her - as if he was, again, looking for her. he looks a little received when he actually catches sight of her]

Ah, there you are... Do you have a moment?

[Beck has spent most of the day so far looking around the new areas that have opened up; the aquarium and the casino draw her attention for a while, but it isn't too long before she heads to the pool area. She doesn't go into the water, though. When Higekiri finds her, she'll be standing in the sunbathing area, looking out on the ocean around them.

As she notices him approaching:]

Hey there. It's nice to finally get some air, right?

[it takes time for hige to be separated from his brother, honestly, but when he does see beck again he looks far more serious than he did at the boutique]

... the person - Prom... something... - he was staying with myself, my brother, our other brother, and our friend last night. But he is important to my brother...

Tomorrow, even more certainly than last week, I would like to find the perpetrator.

[good afternoon, beck!! wherever she is, higekiri will just bow politely to her again]

A new week - though at least we seem to be free of writing.

[which he offers up a soft smile to her, knowing how much her own bothered her]

[i said hey what's up hello- here's higekiri!! he was rather scarce on wednesday for whatever reason, but it sure does look like he's back up and about on thursday. though.... it may be a little hard to catch, the way he ever so slightly favors his left leg whenever he takes his strides forward - even though his pace doesn't seem slowed at all

when he sees beck, he bends at the waist in greeting and is just a little bit more ginger about his left arm crossing over his chest]

Good morning.

[though one of the stupid toys will come running up to try to pummel him

and he'll just step on it with his left foot without even blinking]

[It's mid afternoon when they're both resting in his bed afterwards. She takes a breath as she shifts so she's laying on her back, before turning her head to look at him.]

...Thanks, again.

[higekiri left the party very quickly after the announcement. he'd been distracted all day, searching for dimitri, and perhaps he found an answer - but it's not one that he likes. so he goes to change, and then he wanders and wanders and wanders.

it's hard to say if he has a destination.

but now he walks and even though he normally pauses to greet beck whenever he sees her - now seems a bit different. like he doesn't notice her at all until she's closer, and then he blinks.

and then moves to give his bow in greeting, delayed.]

... I apologize.

[for not noticing her]

[Wherever Higekiri happens to be tonight, Beck is approaching him. She looks a little bit nervous, for whatever reason, as she starts this conversation.]

Hey, Higekiri... Do you have a second?

[it's hard to say if he heard about her?? incident??? or if he was just looking to take a headcount of everyone

but regardless!! knock knock beck]

[Wherever he's wandering around the hotel this afternoon, Beck is approaching Higekiri with a small smile.]

Hey. How do you like the new areas?

[She decides it would be best to give him space for a while, but... After some time has passed prior to the trial, Higekiri is getting a knock on his door.]

Hey... It's Beck.

[They're in his bedroom as usual, more likely than not. She's relaxed after they're both done, and while she doesn't have her head on his chest (purely because it would touch against her ears and she dislikes the reminder of the changes), she's looking his way from her spot on the bed.]

I kind of feel like a broken record, but - thanks. That was nice.

[he goes to find her as he usually does but

before even getting to anything today, he pauses]

Oh... Were you the one who fixed me?
