Week 2.

[trustmods]

WEEK 2 Two people are dead. Ken Kaneki has been murdered, Reaver has been executed - and perhaps most uncomfortably, the Conductor is proud of you all for adhering to due process. (As always, by which he means that there is a process, and you all are certainly doing it.) 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... However, once you've shaken that off, there are new things to be looked at; the previously closed-off area near the kitchen has been unlocked, and there's a new floor to be explored - consider it your reward for a job well done. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 27

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

How a-about you butt out of my business? Love is a concept made to sell Halmark greeting cards, he's attached to me like a fucking puppy because we're blood, yet h-he's still a piece of shit. I've dated hiveminds more tolerable than him, and believe me, that's - that's saying something.

[mortyfied]

[Jeez, she really is a mom, isn't she?

Also he's not gonna say anything, just kind of stand there looking extremely hurt. Like, jesus christ Rick what do you expect from him when you're both stuck in murdermansion?]

[housenurse]

What are you even saying?

[hallelujah]

Familial love can be the strongest, most powerful bond there can be in this world! It's selfless and true and can overcome any obstacle-- just look at how Morty-kun's love for you has overcome so much of your grief towards him this far! And I'm sure it'd keep doing it, if nobody ever stepped in! He's the kind of soul who will accept the hurt and push through it, all out of love! We should all have someone who cares for us as much as he cares for you, and you don't even bother to appreciate it!

Morty-kun is a nice boy, who's been nothing but kind to everyone here! That's strength, to be ripped from your home but not take out your fear and anxiety on others, to instead help them from a place of sympathy and love! You're taking your pain and using it to help others, as if that's going to make you feel any better! It won't! Pain just brings more pain!

This became my business when you decided that your cruelty towards your grandson had to be public! My heart won't allow me to let this go on for a moment longer! On my honor as a housewife and a Mankanshoku, you're going to apologize to him! I don't care if it takes the rest of your life-- it's going to happen!

[rickdiculous]

Sheesh, lady. I didn't know I was in the middle of a goddamn Disney movie.

[That's it. That's all he has to say.]

[mortyfied]

Yeah, it was - i-it was kind of Disney-like. [Even while fighting, they both can agree on something.]

[rickdiculous]

Legit. Like - like I'm expecting her to burst into some Beauty and the Beast bull any second now.

[mortyfied]

Or start singing about building a snowman? [Look Sukuyo, they're getting along sort of!]

[housenurse]

[looks so terribly pleased by this THE SYSTEM WORKS]

[mortyfied]

[You're getting picked on and yet....]

[housenurse]

[the rebuilding of frayed family bonds is paramount!]

[rickdiculous]

[lbh this wouldn't be working if rick didn't think she looked like a creepy small world doll]

[housenurse]

[as long as it's working]

[rickdiculous]

I'm picturing her more as - as one of those creepy Small World dolls.

[mortyfied]

C-come on Rick, she's not creepy! If anything, she'd be a cast member like Cinderella o-or Rapunzel!

...wait, do they have Rapunzel in Disney Land? [Serious Questions.]

[rickdiculous]

H-how the Hell should I know, Morty? I know that their turkey legs are overpriced and - and they ripped off Pirates of the Pancreas. Oh, sure, everybody'll come flocking to that one just because - because they have Johnny Depp backing it. But nooooooo, stick 'em in a pancreas and everybody chews you out for it.

[mortyfied]

Well I mean.. didn't Pirates of the Caribbean come first? [wait morty dont]

I-I think it's better in the Pancreas though! It's uh.. more interesting, anyway. And you get to learn about organs and stuff! Like, I didn't even know what a pancreas was until I was introduced to it! [Spoilers: He knew what one was. But he still doesn't know what it does.]

[rickdiculous]

Who cares? There was - there's a pretty obvious gap in the market here. Which is namely that - that people like her [GESTURING ANGRILY AT SUKUYO] care more about seeing Tim Burton's bitch in eyeshadow than they do about - about real quality rides.

Pirates of the Pancreas is quality, Morty. It's a quality ride and the fact that it's destroyed, i-i-it's a national tragedy.

[mortyfied]

Jeez.. sorry that I um. Kind of had a hand in destroying it, Rick. I-I know it was something really important to you and all... [Weren't they telling each other to go die like three days ago]

[rickdiculous]

You know what? It was alrea-[eeerrghh]-dy destroyed, Morty. Along with the spirit of Anatomy Park. By t-the terrible liver problem he had. There were spots all over that thing, Morty. You can't salvage something like that.

[mortyfied]

Yeah but that was a lot of work that got wasted... [Oh wait, hold on. Sukuyo was still here, how damn rude of them.]

O-oh uh Sukuyo! Um... thanks for yelling at Rick for me - o-on my behalf.

[housenurse]

You're welcome, Morty-kun!

[has just been cheerfully standing here the whole time.]

[mortyfied]

I-I think I can handle it from here if you wanna.. go. Get dinner or something?

[housenurse]

I should be getting back to work, anyway! Good luck, hon!

[and she'll just ruffle his hair as she leaves.]

[mortyfied]

[please adopt him sukuyo you were a better mom than his own in those five minutes]

[mortyfied]

[Actually you know I'm gonna reply with an actual reply too fuck it]

[After Sukuyo leaves the room, Morty kind of awkwardly shifts his attention back to his grandpa, though his gaze stays clung towards the floor.]

U-um, Rick? I'm sorry that I - I-I'm sorry for y'know... acting the way I did. [Morty honestly shouldn't be the one apologizing here, but he's a good kid and he knows nothing'll move forward if neither of them do.]

I was just worried, 'cause it looks like everyone here hates you besides me. So I didn't want to like - I-I didn't know if you were welcome or not? [He still keeps his gaze towards the floor, kind of scared that Rick was still mad and not wanting to see the angry look on his face.]

But I'll just.. I-I won't interfere with whatever you wanna do anymore.
