week 1 - alistair - sunday post-execution

[Newt has been wandering around the island kind of aimlessly since the execution. What a mess, to say the least. He should probably devote his time to doing something useful, like exploring the cave more or working on that whole hunter/gatherer food situation, but man, he's not in the mood. He needs some time to work out his thoughts on the events of the last couple of days. He'll bounce back pretty quickly afterward. He always does.

He's been hanging out by the water most of the day, so now he's heading into the jungle with the hope that he'll find some cool bugs or something to distract him. Instead, he finds Alistair as he's walking along one of the jungle paths. Eh, he'll take it.]

Hey, man. [He's not as peppy as usual.] What's up?

week 1 - yona - sunday post-execution

[So that... was something. Newt kept to himself through the execution. What was he really going to add to all of that? This sucks. Everyone is now very aware that this sucks. Case closed. All they can do is try to make it through another week... before they do all of this over again. Ugh.

He's spent the majority of the day since then wandering up and down the beach. He's not in the mood for his usual explorations and experiments today. When he spots Yona up ahead, he's glad to see her. He's been out here on his own for long enough that he'd appreciate some company.]

Hey. You up to anything or just hanging out?

[He's trying to keep it casual because casual means normalcy, but he's not as chipper as usual. He's never been great at hiding his feelings.]

week 1 - laphicet - saturday post-trial

[God, that trial was awful. They have to do this every week? They technically chose correctly, but like, winning feels like utter garbage. This isn't a victory, not really.

Newt is taking a few minutes to get some fresh air (thank god) before heading back to his own hut when he spots Laphicet milling around near the bonfire. Oh, good. He's not exactly in the mood to chat anyone up right now, but he was worried about this little dude. He has a minute to check in, at least. He heads over.]

Hey, man. How, um... How're you doing?
