week zero, saturday...1!

[purities]

[in the (throws dart) mansion kitchen. mizu is examining the dented kitchen knives, like. >:( mumbling.]

They can still be repaired, but...

[why!! would you do this!!! the poor knives.]

[sacredpath]

[h...hiding something behind her back.]

Why would someone do such a thing!

[purities]

[ma'am.

slowly puts the knife down and stares at her.]

If you mean to be inconspicuous, you're failing. Badly.

[sacredpath]

You caught me by surprise. I can be very inconspicuous, most of the time.

[okay, fine. she has one of the non-bent knives.]

[purities]

[is that all? mizu just looks at the knife and nods, like, oh. okay. seems legit. carry on.]

If being caught unaware is enough to make you lose your cool, then it sounds like you need more practice.

[sacredpath]

[ooooooh this makes her so mad.]

I keep my cool plenty, thank you very much.

[purities]

[pauses, raising an eyebrow at her.]

If you say so.

[and then mizu just starts rummaging around the kitchen for a wetstone to fix these knives. i'm so sorry.]

[sacredpath]

[rude...]

Why are you bothering? They'll just break those again. Or steal them.

[purities]

It's something to do. Something that doesn't involve breaking things like a brat or getting turned around in the fog again.

[sacredpath]

Certainly. An equal waste of time to those things, to be sure, but it's something.

[purities]

A less annoying one.

[starts buffing the dented tips down in the middle of this conversation, tbh.]

And you? What would you waste your time on? Besides sneaking knives out of the kitchen.

[sacredpath]

Honestly, drinking and moping about. I didn't say I had a good solution. Though as much as I prefer it not in my living space, and I do feel sorry for the plants, I can't say I think destruction a poor response.

[purities]

It's a childish one. There's no... precision to this sort of destruction. It hasn't even garnered the attention of whoever is in charge of this place.

[sacredpath]

That's true. And after all of this, I doubt they're letting us near anything they care about us breaking any time soon.

[purities]

I doubt they planned to let us near anything important in the first place. But yes, even less now.

[sacredpath]

If you did get near something important, would your feelings on destruction change?

[purities]

Depends on what I'd get out of it.

[sacredpath]

The chance to teach a lesson not good enough? Must we be pragmatic?

[purities]

Pragmatic? Not at all. I care only about my own satisfaction.

[sacredpath]

[looks at him sharpening the knives...]

I see that you are nothing but a libertine.

[purities]

Huh. First time someone's called me that.

[sacredpath]

Well. That's because I was being sarcastic. You strike me as wound very tightly.
