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.

So long as you're understanding it's alright. N-No matter how weird it is...

[AND THAT'S THE MORAL OF THE STORY OF THIS THREAD.]

[heritrix]

[I mean, if she knew a way off the top of her head, things with Archer would have gone much differently, so it's more wishful thinking on her part.]

We've gotten our memories back just fine living here, haven't we? So whatever they did to block them can't be perfect.

[heritrix]

I don't know if I'm ready for that today. [If only because this thread has stretched on pretty long.] But ask me another time, and I'll tell you. Even if no one takes the motive tis week and our memories are erased one by one, I've taken notes. So I'll be able to show you those at least.

Rin huffs and looks away, back to her painting.]

And just when I was about to feel sorry for you.

[hentopan]

[ Ah, that actually gets him to drop to an actual normal voice without his usual inflection. ]

I don't want your fucking pity.

[ ...which was actually the whole problem that night. ]

[matchbreaker]

... Oh, thank you!

[ She seems to move past that quickly enough... ]

I've always been more for sketching than painting, but I think I'm pleased with the result.

[matchbreaker]

Oh.

Yeah, that's true, isn't it?

[heritrix]

Then you won't get it. You got out of that predicament on your own, which is more than what anyone else in the same situation would usually be able to manage.

[Tenacious indeed.]

[heritrix]

[Rin holds her hand to her mouth, eyes sparkling.]

You'll have to show me my portrait sometime.

[matchbreaker]

[ NOOOOOOOOOOO ]

... Don't you assume things of me!

[heritrix]

Yeah. So... Somehow, it'll be okay. If it comes to that, I'll tirelessly work on it.

[ninehundredlives]

Karin. I'll make sure to remember.

[It's not even close to the same. If Elda forgot the girl and Susan gave her the name...it wouldn't mean anything. But she can't offer anything that would really help.]

[matchbreaker]

You make a great many promises like that, girl.

[ That said, given her confidence, her magic... well, perhaps she can. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ It's nowhere near the same. She... ]

Thank you.

[ That's... mm. ]

I do appreciate it, Susan.

[innocentloveholic]

I wonder why they are, anyway? I mean, there's ways of keeping people in without, like, totally getting rid of a pretty view.

[ Like... bars? Bars are sort of effective? ]

[heritrix]

Why else would you kick it down, hm?

[She's already making to dance out of the room.]

[heritrix]

...Do I? [She doesn't think she does, but maybe she has more recently.] Well, I only promise things I know I can accomplish short of an untimely death, so make of that what you will.

[matchbreaker]

Oh get you gone!

[ SHE'S SO RED IN THE FACE. ]

[heritrix]

They probably just don't want us to guess where we are, or deal with the questions.

[matchbreaker]

[ She... she actually laughs at that. A bit more gigglish than a full throated evil old lady laugh. She rocks back on and eventually flops back on the bed ]

You certainly do! It's quite arrogant!

[ninehundredlives]

Of course. We can still look out for each other, for as long as we can.

[Until they die or Jericho makes them forget each other as well. And then, presumably, they die.

All roads lead to death. May as well be good to one another.]

[ninehundredlives]

It is a little, isn't it?

[Maybe they're being desensitized? She probably started off there. But Susan straightens as Rin offers the tree, reaching out to take it.]

Oh - thank you. It's lovely.

[matchbreaker]

[ Her cheeks burn a little at that. Some weight in her stomach, some guilt...

... Well, now isn't the time for such things. She nods. ]

Yes, ... yes, I suppose so.

[bloodbiter]

Of course. I will look forward to hearing about her later.

[She then gives a nod, because I also just realized how long this thread is, before looking down at the sketchpad.]

I will bring this to you when it is ready, and you can request any modifications you would like at that point.

[bloodbiter]

If it makes you feel more at ease, I do not give unearned or insincere praise.

[And there's honesty in her voice as she says that.]

I may not be an expert on magic, but... I would be glad to tell you as much as I can.
