WEEK 2.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 2 Two people are dead. Jean Kirstein and Caren have both died due to a tragic accident. Of course, you're not entirely innocent, are you? You voted, you played into this game the Coordinators are running. But you know the stakes now. You know what failure to complete Rule Seven really means. No more excuses from here on out. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... Of course, exploring the building from here on will reveal something new: namely, a stairwell in the northeastern corner, leading upwards toward a new floor entirely. Another sign of how things are going to progress around here, maybe; chances are you'll enjoy what you've been given, but was it worth the lives of two people to obtain?

[ OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK DOES SHE DO TRYING TO HAVE IRL FRIENDS WAS A MISTAKE-

Okay, no, she's going to... put a hand on Alex's shoulder? ]

... Talk to me, what's going on?

[greenmamabear]

Seen it, sure. Used it? I don't think so.

room 21

[zomgboom]

[Tabby doesn't like cops, but sometimes they serve a purpose - even if they think stealing is a crime. She needs something explained to her, though, and if there's anyone who could explain a rule to her it's the resident cop person. At least she knows better than to come by empty-handed - she has a plate of cookies in hand when she knocks on the door.]

Hey, copman, it's Tabby. I need to ask you a, like, legal question.

kitchen

[zomgboom]

[Tabby wanders in while Chie is putting the dish together, looking at it curiously.]

It's, like, too cute to eat.

room 2 I'M SORRY IT'S A POPULAR PROMPT

[sleepytimegal]

[ The door's open... Alex knocks and pushes it in a little. ]

Hey. I'm comin' in.

dining room

[sleepytimegal]

You're the one lighting these?

[ She hadn't seen at the gathering, so... ]

It's, um...a good idea.

infirmary

[sleepytimegal]

[ The infirmary's a popular place today, though it's not painkillers that Alex is looking for, but some kind of sleep-aid. She hasn't really explored this room much, so she's no idea where to look in the cabinets, but...well, it's hard to ignore, another person there, at the sink... ]

Chitoge. Hey. [ A little empty. She got the name down, at least. ] What happened?

room 14

[sleepytimegal]

[ Since Alex is very much preoccupied this morning, it's later on when she sees Rin. Sometime...towards the night, honestly, it's been a day. A light knock on the door, rubbing at the bags and tear-stains under her eyes. It's a few hours before lights out but hell, she's exhausted. ]

[gorira]

Ah, Alex...

[ It takes her a little bit longer than it should to bring her eyes up from her knuckles underneath the sink. Her fingers feel like they're burning, even as the cold water runs over them... ]

I just hurt my hands a little. It's nothing serious.

[ But her wounds are a bit more gaping than your typical run-of-the-mill scrapes. She was really going at it. She doesn't really seem keen on admitting it was just from her beating the crap out of the wall. ]

What about you? Hanging in there?

[ She wouldn't blame her if the answer was no. ]

[heritrix]

I wouldn't remember. I was four years old at the time.

[Rin takes the stairs slowly too, albeit for different reasons. Her steps are overly careful, compensating for dizziness.]

[heritrix]

[Yeah, don't mind her Cabanela, that's just Grail War syndrome talking. Rin doesn't even try to defend her point of view; in the part of her conscious mind that isn't shrieking with agonizing pain she can agree two deaths are unforgivable too, strangers or not.

...said agonizing pain is infinitely more consuming attention-wise, that said. They know nothing of their situation... It's been a week, and that's all that matters to Rin. It's getting near impossible to think straight; she's not even sure how she got out here, come to think of it.]

What time is it?

[heritrix]

Dozens of interpretations exist, regarding vampire lore. Their longevity as well as their repulsion of garlic and the cross are common staples in many tales, among others.

[Rin closes her eyes as if centering herself, and waves a hand.] It was an obvious connection to make, even as I noticed inconsistencies with the genuine vampires of my world. We can file this away as Inconsistency #3.

[heritrix]

It's just a bug. It will pass quickly.

[...now that she has medicine to treat it, anyways. Surprise of surprises, it's not really a "bug", so she wasn't sure earlier.]

[heritrix]

[Until Elda stopped by earlier, Rin was completely out cold today, and she's been in and out of consciousness ever since the vampire left. The medicine is working, enough so that for the first time in two nights she's actually been able to sleep, but she's still uncomfortably pained.

Luckily, she was floating in a half-awake state when Alex knocks, and is able to pull herself together relatively quickly to roll out of bed and answer the door in short order.]

Alex; good evening. [She thinks? It's probably evening. Rin's greeting is generic and somewhat sleepy, but her expression changes a moment later, browns pinching as she gets a good look at Alex's face.] ...Are you alright?

[She looks like she's been crying.]

[hesperos]

It is.

[ Yuri feels like he can at least rest easy since she has that with her. Which is more than he's seen anyone else with, including himself. ]

I kind of wonder who isn't carrying a steak knife around at this point.

[hesperos]

Not a fan of cheesy dialogue?

[ He'll place down his food and settle down. ]

[firstaid]

That's good that you don't. Yuri always loves fighting so it seems like he's picking a fight whenever he can when there aren't monsters to kill.

[Like here. She's amazed he's been holding up, or maybe he hasn't since she's found herself locked in the library. Still a blessing since... yeah.

In any case, she inspects the wounds before grabbing some gauze pads, disinfectant and the bandages. It seems like she's cleaned the wound out earlier even if she did some damage, but it's nothing that won't heal. Placing some disinfectant on the gauze, Estelle gently, but firmly, places it on the affected skin before she reaches for the bandages to wrap it.]

Does that feel okay so far? [At least it would be easy to make adjustments now before she begins to officially wrap her hand.]

[firstaid]

After what happened, I would imagine everyone is armed now.

[While everyone wants to work together, they also fear one another at the same time. That contradiction of feelings is strange, but understandable. To want to trust one another yet they know they can't trust each other at the same time.]

I didn't want to believe anything bad would happen and still don't want to believe anything will since what happened was an accident. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry...

[She's naive, but she understands this much.]

[matchbreaker]

Thee's a few different stories out there, about her motivations or her story. ... She doesn't usually come out the most pleasant sounding though, no.

[ ... Oh, that sure was a reaction. If Elda wasn't short she might've tried to sneak in and look it over. as is, she just sort of keeps crouched here. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Mmm, she stumbled on something creepy then. She frowns at the photos. She never took these - he can't be there? ... Someone in these is impossible. Moved away or ... more probably, he died. She nods to herself. ]

... I mean, it could have to do with those dimension things.

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh she's heard the stories. She... considers clarifying, but the there's a priest here. If someone thinks the cross is going to make her back down or burn her, that's to her advantage, right? She nods to herself. ]

Well, hoey. If yours are closer to those old stories, that's unfortunate.

infirmary

[captainobnoxious]

[Looking around, this place has totally got her attention; the bandages from the storage room is nice, but this place has got the things she needs.

... Unfortunate that someone's already in it, fortunate that it's just Kimblee. Sigrun whistles at the amount of medicine, rubbing at her left arm as she squints at them and their vastly unintelligible words. Which one of these is a painkiller..?]

Do you know anything about medicine stuff? Like, I know we have doctors and the lady who likes cats was a nurse, so I should ask them, but you're in here right now, so.

[gorira]

Tch, boys...you're not supposed to love fighting. You do it because you don't have a choi--a-agh...

[ As much as she was trying to put on a tough front, that all jumps out the window the second the disinfectant touches the wound. The whole tops of her hands feel like they're on fire, stinging from the gauze, and she can't help but let the stinging sensation show on her face as she winces.

Even she can be fragile, it seems. ]

Y-yeah, it's fine, wrap it, wrap it...

[shuttermouse]

Nah. I can't sew.

[firstaid]

I promise the pain will fade.

[She says that as she starts to wrap it, making sure the bandages are tight, but not too tight it's uncomfortable. It's clear she's used to doing this for others even if normally she would start by using her magic, but that's not an option here.

Soon she's finished wrapping it and tying it up so it won't come loose.]

That should be good.

[Well, time for the other hand as Estelle reaches for that now.]
