WEEK 5.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 5 Tabitha Smith, Sigrun Eide, and Solf J Kimblee are all dead. Regardless of what you think of the trial or the events leading up to it, there's no denying that you can feel the dent in your numbers now. After all, ten people are gone now. It may be hard, but all you can do is keep going. 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... What with Jericho's excitement at the last trial, it's evident now more than ever that the new floor that's opened up to you is a gift, a reward for a job well-done. Because while surviving is something that you'll continue to try to do of your own merit...well. Let's say that he's so, so very proud of you.

Comments

[destage]

...Yeah. We were never all that close, if I can be totally honest with you.

[It's...a bit of a Topic, that's for sure, but she doesn't seem to be upset. More just...neutral? Weirder, if anything.]

[matchbreaker]

[ What the fuck are these letters? She -- she keeps reading then, flipping through them as she does, but she tuts, ]

You remember writing these, for sure? Do you remember... getting them? How are they sent?

[brandnewday]

That's cruel.

[She says that like she'd say "oh, I see," though. Because it's Elda.]

Who cares why we're missin' the party, anyways? It's a lot more fun readin' a good book, right?

[She's picked up another mystery book. She's still trying to get smarter in trials.]

[brandnewday]

Of course not! I'm a big name where I'm from right now! Well, kinda big-ish.

[That's better than being completely unknown.]

Repede! Ah, I like him already! So he's like a police dog, huh? Followin' his master bravely into the fray...that's so beautiful! What's he look like?

[She's tearing up a little. When can she meet this dog?!]

[brandnewday]

That's not so bad. I think I've seen that before somewhere!

[Wait.]

W-where are the tentacles on this mermaid?

[She better make sure!]

[matchbreaker]

I must believe that. I cannot allow anything else.

[ she grinds her nail between her teeth now. What else is there to say...? ]

... My family hid it from me, all this time. I don't know why. Perhaps- perhaps they thought my hatred would be put on Karin, but that's so foolish.

[bloodbiter]

Death, of course.

[It's said directly, without preamble. It's what they deserve, she thinks.]

[bloodbiter]

It was wrong of them to hide it from you.

[That much is obvious to her.]

[bloodbiter]

I am sorry to hear that. Is it because he was often busy with work...?

[matchbreaker]

I've not dared to try them, after the initial confusion with them... it seems foolhardy.

[ She'll direct Adelina to a seat at the end of Elda's bed. ]

[bloodbiter]

That's certainly fair, I think.

[She walks there carefully, since it's so hard to see, but she does take a seat once she's there. She isn't quite certain what to say next, though.]

[sleepytimegal]

[ Who says being childish is a bad thing? ...The blush is more cute than anything. God. Someone's going to walk in and find them and it's going to be embarrassing but Alex doesn't care, she just wants to keep this moment forever. ]

We're- we're just gonna keep going in circles, aren't we? I'm happy, that you're happy, that... [ She giggles. ] Jeez, what a mess.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . You know what. She still doesn't remember this girl's secret, she'd seen her age and it makes no sense to her if she's a god, and she's talked around it enough before now that even if she's going to be ethereal, she might as well...

She hops into a seat here, and then sits there crossing her legs, motioning Milla to sit too. ]

Okay girl, you're starting from the beginning here. You're a god and weren't a god and now you're a fragment of a god, and I might as well get my story straight for if we ever need to autopsy you.

[brandnewday]

Oh.

[Well, this might come as a surprise, but.]

I was thinkin' the same thing.

[heritrix]

Straight, and short. It's not cropped close, but about... [She demonstrates with her own hair, using fingers to indicate length.] This long? And shorter on the sides.

[She adjusts her fingers to show the length near his ears.]

It's red in color. I know these are pencil sketches, but I thought you might want to keep that in mind for the shading.

[matchbreaker]

Not at all. What, did you have a falling out with Aligula?

[ Because... look, she's not there because it is Christmas. And you know... christ...? No. ]

[bloodbiter]

[She nods.]

It's helpful to know. Thank you.

[While she continues to draw, she speaks, though now it's more general curiosity than anything that would help her with the picture.]

What is his name? How did the two of you meet?

[matchbreaker]

Oh, monstrously so! You get to keep all your senses, and I've had two neutered, one inflamed, and lost a handful of natural abilities besides. It's absurd.

[ and she's still pissed about it??? ]

I suppose I didn't expect it of you.

[destage]

Well, I mean, if it's you I'm going in circles with...I'll go in circles until I'm dizzy and on the ground. I suppose you've got a bit of a point, though...

[Sayaka giggles a bit, just kind of...wanting to snuggle up to Alex so much, but staring at her face seems to be working just fine. She wants to commit this moment to memory--make sure she could never forget it. She could never forgive herself if she did.]

But, well...I've never done something like this before. What's the next step in this...?

[She seems to be joking, at least? ...It's not being genuinely lost, it's something.]

[matchbreaker]

Yes it was. [ She snarls this- ] They'd only barely been handling it! They'd let a human in on our secret, like he's someone that can be trusted, she keeps going to that school and now they've tolerated a halfbreed on top of it? Sure, Henry's the head of the household now and I'll accept it but it's absurd, to let it sit like this when he life's in danger!

[destage]

Honestly, he...works about as hard as I do with my idol work, if not harder. He works very, very late, and I'm usually by myself.

[sleepytimegal]

[ A bit of a nightmare, aren't they? ]

I don't remember getting them. Or writing them, exactly. But I remember sending them...through the radio.

[ She breathes out. ]

I remember...wanting to save other me's, other...anything, in whatever way possible. To keep anyone from coming to that island that I could.

[matchbreaker]

We've different biology to begin with, who knows how different the effect might be on me anyway.

[ susan sure didn't seem certain. ]

[bloodbiter]

Did you have anyone else to keep you company, before you began working yourself?

[bloodbiter]

That's a good point as well. So, back home, you never had any need for such things?
