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.

What, being a blank slate's better?

[hentopan]

Not at all.

Don't have anyone important to me, and if he's stupid enough maybe he'd get some memories of my sister. Got enough of those that I could stand to lose a few.

[matchbreaker]

No one, in either sense? All your resentment of her seems to define a lot of you.

[hentopan]

[ .... ]

She wouldn't let me forget. If she did that, I couldn't be her slave for all eternity, and that's not in her best interest.

[matchbreaker]

You think she holds sway, even here?

[hentopan]

Keh, I wouldn't put it past her.

[ Elda has a point? But this is an area where he's decidedly less logical than he should be. ]

[matchbreaker]

She is that much greater than you? Gods, vampires, and humans alike have all been imprisoned by these fiends. It seems to me... if there are a deity at work here, it's one we've never heard of.

[hentopan]

Maybe not here. But we're tied together, no matter how screwed up time or the world becomes. This may not be her prison, but that doesn't mean she can't show up eventually.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Huh. ]

Nothing can change that, huh?

[hentopan]

Heh.

Been trying to for all of my existence.

[ She's not getting a direct answer to his question, because for the first time in his memory he's not sure anymore. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

Okay, so you've had it rough, got it.

[hentopan]

[ He just waves his hand, he doesn't want her sympathy. ]

So forgetting about my sister? Might be nice, but I'm positive no matter how hard Jeri tried she wouldn't fucking let me.

[matchbreaker]

Maybe in the long run, yeah, but I don't doubt you'd be in the same boat as the rest of us, stumbling around for a bit in here. ... Or you do that vessel thing, right? It could be your old ones of those?

[hentopan]

[ He laughs. ]

First one is lost to the boundary— a black hole. The second one? Well he tried to take me over, because he thinks he's a hot shit. Don't know where he is right now, but probably dead in a ditch somewhere.

[ He does not have salt about Hazama. ]

[matchbreaker]

... Wow, that's a lot more uncooperative than I was expecting.

[hentopan]

Right? I'm the reason they exist, they should be more grateful.

[matchbreaker]

Well children are known to be rebellious, and no one wants to be possessed, I'm sure.

[hentopan]

Keheheheh, they're not really my children but close enough I guess. Besides, it's more like a fusion anyway. Wouldn't be able to do it if they didn't want it, that's how soul shit works.

[matchbreaker]

... Why would they want to? No, rather, why would they want to while still being rebellious.

[hentopan]

Because it's rare to find someone who doesn't want some purpose in life.

[ About the rebellious bit... ]

Maybe they think it's easy to do what I do, or maybe it's cause they're based on me. I've served under people yeah, but I've never fucking liked it.

[ Look for a second, he was almost empathetic. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ What do you do, she wonders. But all the same she... nods. That makes sense, when he puts it that way. She looks at the far wall for a moment, and softly exhales. ]

Yes, you don't seem the type.

[hentopan]

[ He's a "guardian" duh!!!! ]

Shit happens sometimes. What can you do besides fix it later on?

[matchbreaker]

Nothing, nothing. Some circumstances cannot be avoided - especially if your power isn't sufficient.
