Yeah, we totally jinxed them to come back and they became even worse... Well, that's just great. So, they're still flying? They didn't just land there to stay wherever they happen to land?
Hi, Zoey!💕 Wow, you're writing a song about him? That's so cool! Of course, I'll gladly look over at any of your lyrics anytime. Do you want me to look at them here or do you want to meet?
Yeah I bumped into him after one of those bubbles, and he got all huge and kind of scary. But he asked if I could write a song, and I agreed. If you're busy we could just do it here, but I'm always down to meet up too.
[ Rumi will be looking forward to spending a lot of time with him today, but she looks forward to that every single day and all the time too. It's still different today considering... that whole line / moment how she thinks about herself.
Or maybe she's getting better at NOT thinking that way about herself, thanks to everything including best friends from her future here, but it's a long, hard road out of hell at her point in time here.
Of course she always welcomes the tiger and the bird with happy excitement and lots of affection, especially to the tiger.]
[ MOST OF THOSE TEDDY BEAR THINGS? Get sweet, soft, gentle smiles from her. They are adorable, they really are. She loves them, she adores them, they are so cute, sweet and perfect for her and okay, she could be saying all of that about Jinu too. ]
It's adorable and all of those things, that she thought about the others too and the winking bear actually amuses her but --
She's blushing. Called out by a shirt. Not really. It's a very important and good reminder and all that and it's what she SHOULD do, it's what she tells others to do with themselves too!!]
[The teddybear is really, really cute and adorable and sweet and now she's tearing up a little but in a good way from how cute it is. It reminds her of that one sitting on her bed in her room back home, that she still doesn't have here wi--]
[ And she still continues listening to that message over and over again and hugging that bear like her life depends on it a lot, while she's crying her eyes out.
It--- Doesn't help AT ALL that her birthday just so happens to be on the 23rd, you know, one more month around the day when they found out what happens to him back home.
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust makes the crying even worse but hey, at least it's not crying in a bad way.]
Edited 2025-10-24 18:18 (UTC)
yeah, I'll leave this to 13 considering their whole arrived here on the 13th of July thing byeeeeeee
[Derpy pokes her gently like "Hello, Rumi, are you okay???" This was supposed to be an adorable delivery, why is she crying so much??? N-Not that... It's not like that's very unusual from her but what's happeniiiiiing?
Also every single time when he hears that bear talking, he gets all happy and excited like "JINU'S HERE???!!!" buuuuuuuuuut he's not here, what? Seriously, what is happening here and why is he invisible but still talking here?
Speaking of Jinu... Should he go get Jinu to help Rumi? Sussie seems to thinks so, Derpy thinks so too.
Rumi doesn't think so because she is like too late because you're MINE now (ahhh, so just typical Scorpios) hugs the tiger for all the emotional support and comfort while no one else is there.
Not that the tiger couldn't just disappear to go get Jinu anyway, but he won't, he's going to stay here and try to help the girl with cuddles.]
The door clicks softly as Zoey slips inside, careful not to make noise. She toes off her shoes by the mat and stands in the dim entryway, jacket still on, her bag dangling from one hand. The air smells faintly of incense — Rumi’s doing.
It’s quiet. The kind of quiet that makes your thoughts louder.
Zoey lets her back rest against the door and exhales. Her voice is still a little raspy from hours of singing; her cheeks are warm from laughter, and something heavier she doesn’t have a word for.
She thinks of Ishkode’s smile under the karaoke neon — the way his eyes crinkled when she couldn’t hit the high notes, the slow, steady calm of his energy. Looking at the yellow bracelet he'd given her the night of the concert, her lucky charm. But then she looks at her other wrist as well, the silver bracelet there from her evening at the aquarium with Mystery. Remembering the night that he'd come to comfort her after the mission as well. The soft kiss on her temple and the warmth of his hug.
Two completely different frequencies tangled in her head. After a few moments, she decided to make her way down the hall, but rather than going to her room, she found herself outside of Rumi's room instead. Knocking gently, Zoey kind of hoped that she was here.
Rumi's awake and she's not all alone in her room because Jinu's there too but he's-- More or less asleep. She can't sleep, it's usually easy but for whatever reason she's way too hungry right now like she may have forgotten to eat at some point in the demon's company. It happens, she's way too busy with just looking at him to even think about food sometimes.
So now as a revenge from her body, she should get up and leave him to sleep here. Or she could wake him up to come eat with her or just to watch her eat anything and keep her company... But she's not going to do that. Jinu wouldn't even mind, at all, it's also normal to them at this point, but no, it's not even unusual for her to leave him here to eat something either even if that happens much less than anything else.
She hears the soft click of the door as she's about to get up. Zoey or Mira? Unless Mira happens to be home right now, she's not really sure about that but Zoey's been out for sure. And Rumi's about to go see which one of them is there herself on her way to the kitchen in these totally adorable winking teddybear pajamas, when she hears Zoey's voice behind the door.
"Yeah. I was actually just about to head to kitchen, so... Gimme a minute, or go wait there?"
Either way, leaving Jinu to sleep won't take long especially now when Zoey is waiting for her. She ruffles Jinu's hair, gives him a kiss and whether or not he's awake (and he probably is at least half-awake after hearing them talking, but it's fine), he gets a look like I'll be back ... because Rumi will be back sometime sooner or later, no one knows when that will happen because she assumes this will be some kind of a girls' talk and snack time.
Zoey hesitates only a second before padding toward the kitchen. The overhead light is off, just the soft glow from the fridge bulb spilling across the counters as she opens it, more for something to do with her hands than because she’s hungry. She pulls out a bottle of water, sets it on the island, then just… stands there.
Her fingers drift to the yellow bracelet again.
She had laughed so hard tonight her stomach hurt. Ishkode was easy—that was the dangerous part. Easy to talk to, easy to be around, easy to slip into a version of herself that didn’t have to think about missions or demons or consequences. He didn’t push. He just… resonated with her. Like he didn’t even know he was doing it.
But then she thinks of the silver bracelet, cool against her skin. The aquarium lights dancing across Mystery’s face, the warmth and comfort as he held her close and reassured her that she was still Zoey after what happened with the ghoul. A quiet steadiness and encouragement that promised she'd never been too much.
Two feelings. Two directions. Two versions of her heart tugging at different rhythms.
She chews at her lip, annoyed that her pulse speeds up for both. When she heard Rumi approaching, she nervously hid both her hands behind her back and put on that awkward grin that she always wore when she tried pretending everything was just perfect and nothing was going on, the one that made her look entirely guilty.
"Sorry, I didn't interrupt anything or wake you up, did I?"

Tiger Delivery on 10/23
Inside there's, at first, a toy train, above a fake layer.
Under the layer, however there's a a set of pyjamas, a hoodie, a shirt, a beanie, slippers and a teddy bear that talks in Jinu's voice telling her that he loves her and thinks she's never a mistake.]
1/???
Or maybe she's getting better at NOT thinking that way about herself, thanks to everything including best friends from her future here, but it's a long, hard road out of hell at her point in time here.
Of course she always welcomes the tiger and the bird with happy excitement and lots of affection, especially to the tiger.]
2/????
Really? For me? From you two and Jinu?
[Okay, maybe mostly from Jinu but she's not excluding them from that.]
3/????
She's going to keep it, put it somewhere where she can always look at it whether or not he's expecting that.]
4/????
5/????
It's adorable and all of those things, that she thought about the others too and the winking bear actually amuses her but --
She's blushing. Called out by a shirt. Not really. It's a very important and good reminder and all that and it's what she SHOULD do, it's what she tells others to do with themselves too!!]
6 / ????
Okay, NEXT!]
7 / ????
8 / ????
THEN THAT TEDDY BEAR SHOWS THAT IT CAN TALK BY SAYING ALL OF THAT TO HER WITH HIS VOICE!!!
IF RUMI WASN'T, YOU KNOW, COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW, MAYBE SHE'D SAY EXCUSE ME??? as soon as it starts talking.]
9 / ???? IDEK MY BFF BUT ISN'T IT NICE THAT I HAVE EVEN MORE ICONS TO DO THIS
10/???
11 / 13???
12/13 oh wait, i meant to use this in one of these, so bye tennis icon
like her life depends on ita lot, while she's crying her eyes out.It--- Doesn't help AT ALL that her birthday just so happens to be on the 23rd, you know, one more month around the day when they found out what happens to him back home.
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust makes the crying even worse but hey, at least it's not crying in a bad way.]
