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.

investigation~!

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...Well, that sucked. Aligula wakes up mad and also by falling out of bed, just to add insult to injury about falling from the sky. Her boyfriend punched harder, huh...? She'll have to try better next time!! But there isn't a next time, is there? From what she's dreamed (remembered) she doesn't try again, because she's helping that guy with his plan, and then the city's in the middle of its next collapse or whatever...

She's not subdued when she comes out of her room—she's a little late in coming out, something like eleven compared to her usual ten or so, but subdued? No, she's ever the bundle of energy she ever is, though she stops at Alena's office first. After that, she's bouncing up the stairs to their new floor!! The workshop gets a peek into but ultimately passed over, because it's boring; the chemistry lab is a little more interesting, but she's more medical than chemical, so she doesn't stay long.

The art studio, though. This is where she'll be spending a lot of time... though she'll be investigating the art storage specifically. There's a lot of junk there; maybe something in it's interesting.

Regardless, she's psyched as hell about the fact she has colors now. Just in time too, in a way.

Afterwards, you can find her either in the kitchen, working on her cooking skills like she's been doing, or in the sewing room, where she seems to have a list of measurements for people (or guesstimates for those she didn't get to actually measure) and a lot of red fabric. ...This certainly can't be anything ominous, right? ]

[trustfellows]

[Hey, Aligula! What are you looking for, exactly?]

[innocentloveholic]

[ Hi, friendly neighborhood mod! Interesting things, of course. ...and markers, because markers are important to her, but that's not important—

really, she just wants to see if she can find anything. People've been finding crud like keys and cards and secret doors and buttons? Let her in on this, etc. First off, I assume there's shelves to hold all this creative stuff, yeah? Let's check those out. What've they got on them, is there anything noteworthy, etc. ]

[trustfellows]

[We've got paints, we've got palettes, we've got the appropriate knives to go with both! We've also got stuff like clay and glaze in here! We've got your markers! Try not to get completely distracted by the markers! We've got glitter WHO LET ALIGULA FIND THIS JESUS CHRIST WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE FABULOUS, we've got sketchbooks and stuff, we've got-

...We've got a lot of art supplies. I am not altogether sure what was expected here. But you know what, it's a lot to look at and now you've got a bunch of directions to go in, so let's go pick a direction, I suppose.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ heck yeah there's markers HECK YEAH THERE'S GLITTER glad we got that squared away, time to turn Graceside into the most fabulous academy ever...

...okay, not right now. There's plenty of time to turn this place into a disco palace! She's gonna move the paints. Anything behind them, under them, what have you? As a heads up, she'll probably do this for all the art supplies until she either finds something or has made a big enough mess to give anyone who's really into organization an aneurysm. ]

[trustfellows]

[...Poor fucking Archer, I guess.

That said, the paints and the stuff that go with them seem normal; where to now?]

art studio

[sleepytimegal]

[ Okay, looking around this new floor, that's a great idea. It's not incredibly surprising to find Aligula here? Like, she's a colorful person, this is a colorful room, it fits. ...Colorful, in a lot of ways. No, okay--

Alex clears her throat. An awkward gait about her, a hand playing with her sleeve. ]

Uhh, here you are. Enjoying this place, Aligula?

[innocentloveholic]

[ guess who has a bunch of glitter.

it's her. She has the glitter. She has so much fucking glitter, Alex, she's never been happier. ]

Yep! I'm sooo psyched~! Think of all the really fun things I can for parties now!! And the invitations!

[sleepytimegal]

[ How can this and Miss Pure Blood be the same person ]

The world is now your oyster and your parties will be, uh, the most top-quality. Ever. [ and we will have glitter all over this damn school/hell-prison ]

[innocentloveholic]

[ Aligula is a woman of many talents. ]

They were already the most top-quality, considering what everyone else has put out. [ ...Aligula is also here to drag parties. They were all good parties, she's just like this!!! ] Were you gonna come in and draw or something for a bit? Oooor...

[ "Here you are"... ]

...Were you looking for me?

[sleepytimegal]

[ She's getting right to business. Alright, well, here we go--

She takes a familiar picture from her pocket. Aligula's in it! ] Uh, yeah, I- well, first of all I uh, figured you'd probably want this back? I got it from the vending machine, other night, uh, yeah.

[ ...no one said she was brave ]

sewing room

[hentopan]

You're not planning something else, are you?

[innocentloveholic]

I'm always planning something, Tenacious.

[ so: yes. ]

Boundless was supposed to give me a hand with this one, but— [ a moment of irritation, before she's turning back to her work. ] Well, you know! Stuff happens.

[hentopan]

[ Fine, he'll bite. ]

What is it?

[innocentloveholic]

Christmas party, with a sorta secret Santa gift-giving thingy.

[ ...that does not sound like Terumi's idea of a good time, but that's fine. ]

Buuuut I'm gonna ask people to draw designs for what they think Coordy-J looks like, so you should come anyway to participate! I'm gonna make dolls of my favorite design and next week we're gonna burn 'em for... Uh... [ . . . ] A celebration of Guy Fox, whoever that was. Adroit mentioned there's a holiday that you do that sort of thing on.

[hentopan]

Guy Fawkes, he was a conspirator who tried to assassinate a king. Didn't work out too well for him, but was fun to watch.

[ I mean that sounds more interesting than Christmas! ]

Sewing room

[heritrix]

You're working on another party so soon?

[innocentloveholic]

Of course!

[ like this is a normal thing to do. ]

I go to parties all the time back home, and this is a good way to practice what Ch... what Dexterous and I were gonna work on together too. [ Sewing and cooking and all. She didn't forget. ] It's only been a week sing my last one anyway! And we have after-trial party things every week anyway, so like, I'm allowed to have actually fun parties every week too if I wanna hold 'em, right?

[heritrix]

I don't know if I'd call those a party so much as a way to make sure everyone shoves food in their face. [Rin's getting material to make a pair of shorts for herself as she talks.] So you probably win by that virtue alone. What's the theme this time?

[innocentloveholic]

Christmas. I was thinking about doing some sort of secret Santa thing too, for the whole gift thingy, but I'm not like, totally sure...

[ ... ]

Oh, and there's gonna be a drawing contest! Which doesn't go with the Christmas theme, but like, it's as good a time as any!

[ ...Yeah!! She's gonna keep working with her stuff; she's making a red dress, it's definitely going to be her cute Santa outfit... ]

[heritrix]

[Pffft. Another holiday theme? Shaking her head, Rin has to laugh.]

I'm going to get my dates screwed up at this rate. It was a few days before Valentine's when I was last in my world, and before that I passed on celebrating my birthday due to the Holy Grail War. I feel like I've skipped half the calendar year.

sewing room

[evilfrenzy]

[Sliiiding into a nearby seat. Hello, Aligula. Strangely enough, Rideaux does not find the red very ominous. He...wears a lot of red, obviously.]

What do we have this time?

[innocentloveholic]

[ Obviously. ]

Christmas. I'm gonna dress as Santa. [ ...not... like literally Santa, but like... A cute girl Santa? Like, a dress. It'll be great. ] There's gonna be gift-giving and a drawing contest! It'll be totally the best Christmas party that's ever been, like, partied!

[evilfrenzy]

...Is that another holiday from your world?

[What is any of this. The Tales series may have a lot of Halloween and Christmas promo art but...that doesn't count.]

[innocentloveholic]

Yep. [ ... ] Wait, don't tell me you're one of those sorry suckers who doesn't have it!
