trustfell | WEEK 5.

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.

[Hibiki has a fear. Right now, she keeps her hands folded in her lap. It's only a matter of time before she notices scratches and scares herself.]

Your eyesight must be really great, Elda. I can't see my own nose like this.

[Her hair hangs down pretty far when it's not tied like it usually is. There's a lot of clean idol hair to work with there. She shifts a little in her seat, trying to relax.]

[ Okay so it's clean but is it well kept? Healthy? Brushed? Generally up to Elda's standards, or is she going to be working through the whole thing. ]

Oh, no, I can see better here than I can in most of this place, honestly.

[Very well-kept! It might be a bit unruly in a spot or two just because of sheer length, but you can't have hair as long as hers without keeping it brushed and healthy everyday. By all means, it should be impressive how well her hair is kept.]

Really? So the light hurts your eyes? I didn't know. That's a vampire thing, right?

Oh, it burns it, yes.

[ Huh... ]

You know, I wouldn't expect it, but your hair's pretty much in shape already. [ She's still going to brush it and all, but still, she doesn't need to do hardcore work. ]

Is that so? That seems kinda unfair.

[Maybe Jericho should dim the lights a little??]

Hey, what do you mean you wouldn't expect it? Keepin' my hair clean is an important part of my job! Animals are always hidin' in it, so I make sure to brush it an extra lot!

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.

Do I wanna know why you didn't expect it of me?

[Is she dirtier than Sayaka somehow?? This hurts a little.]

I had no idea! I guess I should've guessed. Vampires are all sorts of powerful, right?

[She is trying so hard to NOT bring up Kyun! Vampire Girl.]

Oh, you just seemed... rough? Uncouth? It's a stylistic thing - I'd no more expect Alex's hair to be well kept, for example.

[ Brush, brush... ]

But naturally, of course we are.

You're not wrong...I don't really like wearin' dresses or anythin' like that...but my hair is a source of pride!

[That feels so nice...she relaxes in the seat, placing a hand on the desk idly, and...]

... ...somethin' feels funny on your desk.

I raked my nails on it.

[ She answers. Simply.

Still, this girl's approval shoots up a little bit to say her hair is her pride. ]

Sorta like a cat, huh? You'd think they'd give us some decent nail clippers...but someone would probably find a crazy way to hurt someone with one.

[She sighs. Her brain is simple, but at least her hair is nice.]

A very vexed cat, yes.

[ Brush, brush... ]

How did you want it styled, again?

I'm a pretty vexed Hibiki most of these days.

[But it's not about her? Everything is just so annoying. Like, people are totally dying.]

Mm...I'm not sure! What do ya think would be a good look for me?

Oh no, I've been given free reign! A braid, for certain. Let's see how that looks with a canvas like this!

[ Still... ]

What's eating you, the weight of it all?

It'll look great, because you've got such a great canvas to work with! And great hands, too!

[Actually, it's the motive. She's scared of forgetting the idols or forgetting her family. Even her pets. But she made up her mind. She came to help Elda, not talk about herself.]

I'm just feelin' a little weary from it all this week, yeah. But I'll keep doin' the best I can.

As an idol?

[ She says this with a somewhat weighted tone. Given her connection to Sayaka, that's... inevitable, probably. ]

Eh? Nope. As Hibiki. I'm tryin' to be the best Hibiki I can be.

[Being an idol is important to her, but she's realized it's her that needs to grow up, not her that needs to grow her career.]

[ In spite of herself, she laughs a little. It's a malicious sounding thing, but she approves as she starts to braid the girl's hair. ]Well said, brat!

Brat, huh...

[SHE SIGHS, resigning herself to the insult.]

Bein' an idol and tryin' to help is important, but I've really lived a convenient life until now, haven't I?

How should I know? I've not lived your life.

[ But at the same time, that secret? Unless there's more to it, it does imply a charmed life. ]

Is there anything ya want to know? I don't think I have anything I need to hide from ya.

Not really?

[ . . . That might be too harsh. Honestly, on today of all days she doesn't care, but she doesn't want the girl to cry and make this whole braiding thing harder. So instead she laughs it off and, ]

I mean, you can say whatever you want, I'll hear it. But I don't need to know your life. Yes, I've known plenty more hardships than most here, but it's not like I can know your life to compare it one for one.

Is that so?

[THAT'S SO HARSH, ELDA. Hibiki visibly deflates a little at that. It's a good thing laughter follows.]

But I wasn't thinkin' about comparin', just...maybe I haven't talked about my life before bein' an idol much. Since I live alone, it's a pretty big part of my life.

Well then, feel free to talk about it.

[ She doesn't even know about your idol life, but hey, no skin off her nose. If anything...

It's better than the silence of this room, slowly driving her to murder. ]

A-alright.

[Hibiki would make the easiest victim, too?? She could've totally just let Hibiki rot in her bathroom for a few days before tossing her out on Friday to the vultures.

But thankfully.]

Back home, I lived with my mom, my grandma, and my brother. We were never really rich or anythin', but we had a house where you could walk right onto the beach and feel the warm sand beneath your toes. Even at night, the ocean is beautiful, Elda, with all the stars and the moon. You'd look gorgeous in a scene like that.
