[May]

[lifeforced]

Who: Rebecca and: anyone (A), people in Lumière (B), cooking club members (C), anyone (D)
What: slightly less of the usual, but only slightly (A), kinda crashing (B), following through on an idea (C), wildcard (D)
Where: infirmary (A), Lumière 4th floor (B), on the network (C), anywhere (D)
When: early May
Warnings: Okay, look. Look. It's Becky. Does she need any warnings? (I'll add some if anything comes up.)

A: (infirmary)
[Becky's been in the infirmary a bit less often than she has before, which, depending on who one asks, is either a good thing or a cause for concern. She does still come in fairly regularly, though, and on the days she does, she can still be found at her usual table keeping herself busy with various things, and she still drops everything the minute she sees anyone else approach her.]

Hey, whatcha need?

---

B: (Lumière, 4th floor)
[The reason she's spent a little less time at the infirmary is that somewhat-recently, she's given herself some other things to focus on, some more cooking club stuff, some activities relating to the classes she's taking, and so on, and not actually taking more time just for herself. As a result, she's still noticeably exhausted—more mentally than physically—closer to the end of the day on some days, and the nightmares keeping her up on some nights aren't exactly helping things.

So that's why on some evenings, she's ended up crashing onto the couch in the common room on Lumière's fourth floor, before actually getting back to her room.]

C: (network, un: Bekamari, group message to cooking club members + anyone known to be interested in cooking club)
Hey, so I talked to one of the professors not too long ago and we don't have a date for it yet, but we kinda started getting this idea for basically organizing a camping trip so anyone interested can get outside for a while. The thing about it is she wants to make a full-blown activity out of it rather than it just being camping out.

One of the things that was brought up for possibly being part of it was that maybe each group of students going on this thing would get some campfire-friendly stuff and instructions for them to follow for cooking it after they got to their spot and got set up, and I told her I'd check in with everyone here to see if we could get some ideas going for all of that.

Got any thoughts?

D: (wildcard)
[Got your own ideas? Most of you know where Becky can usually be found, so if you wanna do something not covered by any of the above prompts, hit me up on the game's Discord or just go for it.]

[Kokoro pauses in the common room and walks over to her, calling out cautiously.]

...are you quite okay?

[lifeforced]

[At this particular moment, Becky's sort of just sprawled out all over the whole couch (or as much of it as her body can reasonably cover), having been asleep for at least some time before Kokoro wandered in. Then, possibly in response to the sound, she rolls on over, and— Well. Rolling over while lying on a couch tends to move you off of the couch, doesn't it?

One ungraceful faceplant of a landing later, she's picking herself up off the floor.]

Owowow...

[Injuries healing faster than would be considered normal doesn't make that landing hurt any less.]

[stavros]

[Kokoro offers a hand, frowning.] My apologies. Are you uninjured? You must have been working a great deal.

[lifeforced]

[She takes the hand and allows herself to be pulled up. Due to her size, Becky's particularly light, so Kokoro has no difficulty in getting her back on her feet.]

It's fine, I'm fine. [If she's not actually fine, she will be soon.] I haven't been working any more than usual, I'm just...tired.

[stavros]

I certainly hope you aren't cursed with anything.

[lifeforced]

You mean aside from probably-eternal youth? [Becky. . .] I'm pretty sure I'm not.

[stavros]

...well, yes, but you had that before. [cough] All right. My apologies, it only seems that innocuous things have been leading to misfortune more often lately.

[lifeforced]

I think I just haven't been getting enough rest. Like...ever. [Infirmary things, cooking club things, throwing herself into the classes she's taking, and so on... She really isn't giving herself a lot of time for just winding down.]

I've started trying to slow down a bit, but... [It's not enough. Not yet.]

[stavros]

[sigh] That I can relate to. In truth, I've always worked too hard, and trying to get into fun things does make me feel guilty at times. And since... the incident some time back, it's been difficult sleeping in my dorm. Perhaps you should go to bed.
