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.

That is hardly barging in, is it? If you did the same, would you call it barging in?

[bloodbiter]

And... For everything else, I will hope that it turns out as well as it can.

[A pause.]

Though I feel as though you're going to scold me for saying so.

[evilfrenzy]

Charm...ing...

[Holy shit what does he say to any of that?? Well obviously she's not doing any of that here, so...]

And I assume you have control over how much is erased?

[bloodbiter]

[She tries to prevent it, but one corner of her mouth turns up in a half smile.]

A doctor and a fighter... That's certainly an interesting combination. What drew you to both? Are they both necessary skills for your profession?

[matchbreaker]

[ Unless their memories are erased- ]

Yes - that gentle, foolish man has saved me completely. I will always love him for it.

[matchbreaker]

Okay, so what, do you live in that spirit realm? Or does being a fragment mean you can't hang out there as much?

[matchbreaker]

Mmmhm. Though it's not like it's all a cinch. Erasing the last thirty minutes or even the last few hours of someone's mind is simple. But if you want to pick out specific things? The more nuanced you're being, the harder it is.

[matchbreaker]

No, no, I shall refrain.

[ Honestly, the optimism, when it sounds so baseless is frustrating. But... this one is based on hope. So...

It's better, she guesses. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ Yes but she wouldn't care? She considers a moment, looking over the picture in her hand again, and then sighs. ]

The term doesn't matter, I merely meant you've chosen to show concern and will your way in to hear me.

[bloodbiter]

Does that bother you? You could have kept the door closed, after all.

[bloodbiter]

[A nod, and then a pause.]

Is there more to the story, or...?

[matchbreaker]

That's the end of it, for now. That's... the extent of where those dreams have taken me. That first week, I was ignorant of any of it.

[ MMMmmm. ]

[bloodbiter]

Then - there is always the chance that everything has been resolved, and you simply have yet to recall it.

[matchbreaker]

It is... unexpected?

[ she looks more at the picture, and then she sighs, letting it glide uselessly to the floor in the dark. ]

... No, perhaps I cannot even say that. It's strange, I suppose, to be looked after.

[matchbreaker]

[ there is. There's also a chance Karin died- ] There is. Something someone mentioned made me correct my math not all that long ago. My age listed there on the profile, it's actually off by two years or so.

[bloodbiter]

I can understand that feeling. But - please know that I will always be glad to keep you company, no matter the situation.

[bloodbiter]

...How interesting. You must be missing quite a few memories, then.

[She pauses.]

Or, quite a few from my perspective, at least. I imagine two years seems like a smaller amount to you.

[matchbreaker]

Even if I'm being voted to that pit? That's a bold statement to make, princess.

[ She laughs a little at it, a tired old lady laugh. ]

[matchbreaker]

Two years ought to be nothing, but with no much going on with Karin, with Anju being the age she is... it's entirely possible it's been an incredibly eventful two years. I've woken up more just in the memories I do have in a year than I did in ten before it. it.

[bloodbiter]

...I doubt I would even be allowed in that situation, regardless of want.

[bloodbiter]

I understand. Hopefully the next thing you recall will give you a better clue of what has occurred in those two years.

[matchbreaker]

Oh, certainly. But to say such a thing, that's so board as to be... well, it seems a little overly optimistic.

[matchbreaker]

Likewise, and that my memories have not been damaged before then.

[ though saying that is basically wishing for a murder tonight. ]

[bloodbiter]

I suppose I see nothing wrong with optimism. Or, rather... I see no point in dwelling on negative things that might happen, apart from being certain I am prepared for them should they arise.

[evilfrenzy]

[Heh.]

Not something you would expect, I know. Simply put, the two occupations chose me in a way, and called out to me for separate reasons. I was recruited into Dimensional Affairs when I was young, because the ability I possess is necessary for traversing dimensions. The work is dangerous, and thus it is necessary for me to know how to defend myself. I later attended medical school to pursue a career in my company's medical department alongside my work in Dimensional Affairs. My official title there is "medical agent".

[He props up his head with an arm as he mulls over his explanation.]

If it makes it easier, feel free to think of me as a combat medic. I am a medical professional who happens to also see quite a bit of battle.
