WEEK 3.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 3 You all got to witness Yosuke Hanamura's death earlier this past week. You know what the punishment for breaking the rules is. With Chitoge Kirisaki and Blue's deaths, you're painfully aware of just how little trust this group really has. How long until someone kills again? What about that time limit the Coordinators imposed? Will there be another incentive? There are so many questions, but not a whole lot of answers. 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... And when you wake up, you'll discover that a pattern seems to be emerging, at least as far as the building itself goes; a new floor is available to you, a stairwell across a short hallway from the one on the second floor having unlocked itself. There's not too much of a question about it as a result - at least, as far as what it means. It's definitely a reward. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 30

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week three of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Coordinators, you can do so through private meetings with Alena!]

You gonna drink that or just stare at it?

[ But good to see Mikoto is still being himself. ]

[paralogical]

[ Glancing over. Oh, hey koala. ]

Guess it depends. Are you planning on joining me?

[hentopan]

[ You know, he doesn't usually drink but this week... ]

Why not. Any occasion or you that bored?

[paralogical]

[ Despite the invitation, Suoh doesn't make a move to grab a glass. Sorry, he's not a bartender. He does, however, gesture to the seat next to him with his hand. ]

Neither. [ ... ] You?

[hentopan]

[ Taking a seat then. And that's perfectly fine, Terumi will grab his own glass, though he doesn't make to pour anything to it yet. ]

Not much shit to do around here. [ So more the latter, but he will just avoid mentioning the former which has to do with his secret. ] If it's not either of those, then what is it?

[paralogical]

[ Truth. Boredom is a real problem here, apparently. ]

I just felt like drinking.

[hentopan]

[ Fair, really. ]

Don't usually have time to drink, too busy making sure everything's accounted for. [ What is Mikoto drinking, bourbon huh? Well it all tastes the same to him besides sake anyway so whatever. Terumi will pour some into his own glass then. ]

[paralogical]

[ Well, that's an odd pick. He doesn't say anything but he does lift his glass. Cheers? Is that a thing he's supposed to do in this situation? It feels stupid so he takes a drink instead. ]

Ah. Does that mean you're one of the ones taking inventory of everything here? Huh.

[ He didn't expect koala to be that meticulous. Or boring. ]

[hentopan]

[ It's been a really long time since he's drank with someone, and cheers were probably not exchanged then either (nor would he give them) so it works out. He takes a sip and is reminded why he doesn't often drink, but he's committed now. ]

Hell no. Not that type of keeping track of things, that would be boring as shit. People, events, battles, stuff that's worth remembering if you want to screw with things.

[paralogical]

[ Suoh lets out a short breath that's more of a laugh than anything. That's more what he expected, yes. ]

It would be. [ A pause as he grabs the bottle and refills his glass. ] Gotta admit, your type of accounting does sound a little fun. My only question is, does this mean you usually roll around on the ground with random assholes or am I a special case?

[hentopan]

[ Its a good thing Terumi took a drink well before the question or he would have probably regretted it. As it is that throws him for a second before he laughs. ]

Hah! Usually doesn't go down that way, because I have Ouroboros and a much more useful body. Don't generally fight unless I want to kill people either, so yeah sure if you want to consider yourself special or whatever Spikey~. [ That is definitely more of a taunt than anything else. ]

What about you?

[paralogical]

[ As far as he's concerned taunts are a breath of fresh air. He's too used to blind loyalty and fanaticism to the point of feeling stifled. ] Hard to imagine you with a more "useful" body, you're slippery enough already. Almost like a snake.

[ Actually, thinking of it he wants to see Terumi at his best (more than before, anyhow). They didn't get into specifics with regards to how much of their abilities they lost but given the guy's bearing, he has to be good.
Suoh taps his finger against his glass lightly before continuing. ]

As for me, it's been a while since I went all out. ... or maybe it's more like I never have. [ That's an unpleasant thought, though it is accurate. ] There aren't many people willing to fight me.

[hentopan]

[ Terumi helpfully sticks out his tongue at the snake comment— it's forked. ]

You haven't seen half of it, I'm basically in spiritual form like this. [ Whatever that means, but his hands curl reflexively for Ouroboros even with the connection being cut. ]

How boring, Spikey. Even I get out once in a while but my real power? It's been fucking forever, but I've been thinking of changing that soon.

[paralogical]

[ Kind of weird. The tongue and the gesture, the latter of which he watches intently. He can't see anything, but there's a purpose behind what Terumi's doing. Too bad he can't see what like this. ]

Not gonna disagree. [ How many times has he been tempted to let go, exactly? Too many. But he never did, sweet as the temptation was. After an irritable breath, he focuses on the last thing Terumi said. ] What made you change your mind anyway?

[hentopan]

[ ......... ]

Just been realizing that I've been patient long enough, you know? You move all the pieces, manipulate what you can, but in the end you need to make the last move yourself. Whatever the cost, it'll be worth it.

Besides, what's the point in holding back if you're never going to let loose?

[paralogical]

[ ... surprising. ]

Yeah. I know.

[ Not necessarily about all of it—moving pieces, manipulating things. That's not him, it's far too much effort to control something, not to mention he's got no interest in dictating what other people do. But making a final move yourself and not caring about the cost...

That he understands so much that he almost wants to laugh. The finality and conviction in his tone reflects it too. Taking another sip, it's starting to sound like they both need it. ]

[hentopan]

Heh. [ Hmmm. They both likely do need it, and he's gotten used to the taste well enough to take another sip. He leaves just the tiniest bit in his glass, swirling it and watching it circle. ]

But when I do, it'll be because I want to; none of this incentive bullshit or anything else.

[paralogical]

[ At that, he glances over. The look on his face is one far from judgment. If anything he's a little surprised at how honest Terumi's being right now, but he can respect it too. ... more than respect it. He agrees with it.

Suoh turns his head back to his glass and lightly taps his index finger against the rim. ] Because you want to, huh? [ ... ] Y'know, somehow that sounds more enticing than anything he's said so far.

[hentopan]

That's the reason I do everything. [ Simple really, even if at times it seems ridiculously more complicated than that. He finishes the last of the liquor in his glass, thinking about having another but it is Thursday. Terumi's a lot of things, but he's not stupid. Besides, the last thing he wants to do is lose himself to one side of his mind right now. ]

Too bad those idiots will keep killing cause he tells 'em to. [ A shrug, and he gets up from the bar. ]

Try not to die in a stupid way, that would be boring.

[paralogical]

[ Yeah, it is. He gives Terumi a glance as he leaves. He wasn't really planning on doing anything stupid. No real reason to, but he'll take the "compliment" anyway. ]

You too.
