[After the "exciting" start to their day, Beck will find herself wandering into the lounge but...she's not alone? She's not alone because there's a guy there in front of the liquor cabinet and seemingly searching through the bottles before pulling out a nice bottle of scotch.

He shouldn't be doing this. He should be on his game and figuring out what's happening, but...his nerves are a little more than rattled. As he shuts the cabinet, he turns to find a glass and he spots Beck standing there. He pauses, giving her a slow nod of acknowledgement before going about his business.]

You don't know anything about how we got here, do you? [He could stand to start with "hello" but he's past pleasantries by now.]

[Well, that was sure A Lot.

As soon as they leave the room, she's heading towards the lounge - but it seems like Junpei is going the same way. She looks towards him as they both walk, looking fairly unhappy about that entire situation.]

...You okay?

[...the lounge actually makes him a little uncomfortable currently, but he figures maybe it's best to do another sweep. He heads back into the room, arms folded tight over his chest and footsteps light as he walks.

The damn chair was never put away, and he eyes it cautiously before his gaze catches someone else. If he felt more friendly or like they were closer, he would say something stupid like "hey stranger" or open with a joke. Instead, he's approaching with caution because Beck doesn't seem too thrilled either.]

...hey Beck.

[She hasn't been wandering around too much after the investigation, so when Junpei comes to the room... Opening it when she hears the knock, she pauses as soon as she's seen him. As awful as she's feeling about this, she can't imagine what it might be like for him.

She steps backwards to give him room to enter if he wants, but at the same time:]

...I'm sorry.

[Carlos had made them promise to let this happen. Carlos had made them promise, but Junpei hadn't thought about what the fuck was going on when the ritual started. If it weren't for Beck, he would have jumped straight into the fray the moment Carlos started melting but he feels her grab his arms and he can only stand by and watch.

Granted, staring at the circle means seeing the weird-ass warping and he immediately gags as the dizzying sensation hits and combines with the already present mild hangover. He folds like a weakly built house of cards, stumbling backwards when the cycle is complete and watching everyone pile out.

He's quiet for a second, staring at the circle before he looks back at Beck, features pale and openly horrified.]

...we need to go. [The only reason he says it like that is because he can't even think of where to go. Please help.]

[The aquarium's lovely isn't it? There're fish...and water...and more fish...and as Beck's here looking around, should she make her way through the tunnel and into the comfortable room, she'll soon hear a voice from...a pile of blankets???]

Kind of cool, isn't it?

[Beck is out looking for him today, so wherever she happens to come across him - she raises a hand in greeting.]

Hey... You got a second?

[It takes some time, but he does eventually approach Beck's room and knocks on the door quietly. He's wrapped up in the same leather jacket as before and he seems to be debating something.]

Beck, you in there?

[After the trial concludes, she heads out onto the deck for some air. She isn't intending to use the pool or the hot tub, but when she sees Junpei sitting near the latter... She heads his way, taking a seat beside him.]

...Hey. I hope I'm not, like, intruding on your alone time.

[The projection room in the theater is a little weird. He finds himself wandering up there on Tuesday afternoon, mostly out of curiosity and mostly because he's so fucking tired of Shrek. He's so tired of Shrek?? The first day it was funny but the second day it's aggravating and he ventures off to see what he can do about it.

Unsurprisingly, there's someone else there, but there's a slow and easy grin when he realizes it's someone he actually likes pretty well.]

Please tell me you've got something else to play because if I see Shrek one more time, I'm jumping off the boat. Again.

[Here they are, walking back towards the dormitories. As they go:]

You doing okay?

[She's looking for him tonight, and after checking a few different places... She finds him in the aquarium, blanket pile in full force. In any other situation, she might laugh, but now she just heads his way.]

Junpei...?

[Now that aphro's week's over, he finds himself a little relaxed. He also finds himself in the library again today, browsing the shelves when he finds someone he's a little more interested in. If Beck's nose is in a book, or rather, if she's focused on something else, he'll just wordlessly walk up behind her and read over her shoulder.]

This place is probably a dream come true for you, isn't it?

[It's later on in the day when she approaches him wherever he might be, raising a hand in greeting.]

Hey. Got a second?

[Haha, well, at some point one of two people will tell Junpei about Beck's eye which means he's hauling ass across the hotel? Like flat-out running to the elevator and going up to the second floor and over to Beck's room where he assumes she'll be. Knock knock, Beck Beckson.]

Beck? It's me.

[What's up, Junpei. Wherever she happens to find him tonight:]

Hey. How are you holding up...?

[Wherever he is after the execution, Beck is approaching him with a frown and something held in her hands.]

Hey... Do you have a second? [...] I know the answer will be yes, but I still feel like I should ask.

[On Tuesday, Junpei immediately goes to find Beck in the afternoon and walks up on her good side where she can see him properly. He looks a little eager but uneasy all at once.]

You know. I kinda thought bingo was reserved for old people.

[She’s heading towards his room partway through Thursday; when she sees the open door, she still knocks lightly, not wanting to come in without invitation.]

Hey... Can I come in?

[He really only plans on finding a few people himself. Everyone else was circumstance, and as he walks toward her room he seems to be a little worried? So. He gets there and immediately knocks.]

If you could tell me that you're in here and not dead, that would be the best news I could hear right now. [Help.]

[After that disaster of a night, Junpei leaves the others to do as Junpeis are wont to do. That is to say, his team split up and he went to shower and dissect his notes and information and not sleep even though he should probably take a nap. As it is, later in the afternoon he's up and he's on his way to hunt down Beck. The first place he's going to check is her room though and he'll knock on the door to patiently wait.

He also has a book under his arm? Hm.]

[And so he goes to pick up Beck after he and Wei Wuxian ditched her.

In all seriousness, wherever she is, he winds up finding her and approaching her with equal parts irritation and thoughtfulness.]

...heard you were our lucky winner today. [For...finding the body...haha. Ha.]

[She's approaching him when evening starts to fall wherever he might be, wearing a smile on her face.]

Hey, you. What's up?
