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. |
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week two of Trustfell! Save your threads for coins and the coming week's activity check; don't forget to check in to this week's activity check and submit your memory regains as well!
The Letters and Switchboard posts are still active, for the sake of contacting the jerk who's keeping you here, to be used at your leisure!]
no subject
Do you really think that keeping people in the dark will save them?
[...The irony of those words kind of dawn on her, if her eyes widening are any indication, but she'll keep it to herself. She's not accusing, but...it's clear she doesn't understand something here.]
I understand wanting to protect everyone, but keeping them like that...won't it just hurt them even worse if they don't know anything?
no subject
[...you'd think someone would have told them this was a terrible idea. But nahhhh.]
As it stands they cannot know, because they will never believe me. The only person who did was--
[...]
--Someone who had been there, someone who had seen it.
no subject
[She listens to him while he talks--she kind of wonders why his sister isn't at least in on this, because that's his sibling, right? She should be closer to him than anyone else. Even closer than Reaver, if anything. What was that phrase? Blood is thicker than water?
Still, she sees that he seems convinced of this. She doesn't really know what to make of it, but...]
What makes it so unbelievable, that you're willing to believe they'll just try to brand you a madman?
[She's just not sure what she's staring at here, other than a sad, sad man who apparently has to bear all of this shit by himself now.]
no subject
...As I've said, it's not something any of them can imagine facing. I'm afraid I can't tell you any more than that.
[His hands are shaking badly and he's trying very hard to hide how messed up he is. He couldn't talk about it in the trial - he couldn't even let Reaver talk about it - so discussing it now... he can't do it.]
no subject
[She knew it was a bad subject, certainly, but...god.
She'd been trying to ignore the shitshow that the trial was, but she wanted to remain optimistic that...well, maybe this could actually be believable to people outside of the circumstance. When she sees that, though...
It's disturbing, to say the least, and Undyne turns away.]
I am so sorry, Logan.
no subject
[why can't he get the shaking under control--]
It's been years, I shouldn't be...
[useless, useless, useless]
I'm alright.
[he'll never be able to defend Albion like this--]
no subject
Yeah, she turns back when he starts talking and...oh dear god. This...well, when she sees this in anyone, it's usually their first practice battle. The nerves, the jitters--basic stuff like that.
Not a full blown situation like this, though. Undyne's kind of horrified, to say the least and just kind of drops her book when she sees it happening.]
If it's still affecting you now, it shouldn't matter if it's been years--!
[--No, she's just going to make it worse if she yells, she's. Attempting to tone it down a notch. How the fuck do humans even work.
She's. At a loss. And really, really worried now.]
1 / 2
I can't sleep, every time I try I hear them--
[And suddenly Logan seems to shut down. The shaking stops and he cuts himself off with a shake of his head.
Breathe. Focus. He's not there. He's not in that horrible, awful place and he's alright. He's not safe, but he's away from those things.]
2 / 2
[When he looks at her again he seems to have gotten himself under control, though the words are a little hollow and his expression is blank.]
You shouldn't have had to see that. Normally I'm much better at keeping myself under control.
no subject
Comfort is not her forte.]
...I shouldn't have asked. I didn't think something like that was going to happen if I tried to ask.
[The control thing doesn't even matter to her at this point, and it's...weird. It's pretty damn weird.]
I thought-- [She shakes her head--she knows this is going to sound utterly asinine, but...] --I thought it might help you if you didn't feel like you had to bear that all by yourself.
no subject
[He can feel what little control he has over the situation slipping and Logan shakes his head. He draws himself up, squaring his shoulders. He's not letting that happen again.]
I am not angry at you for that thought; it's an understandable one. Unfortunately, that is not the case for me. It is not something I can discuss and now... it is not something I can allow anyone else to handle.
[It's nothing personal, of course. It's just... well, look at what happens when he gets close to talking about it.]
no subject
[She's definitely starting to see that. She's still gonna wonder--that's pretty much a definite, but she'll hold her tongue on any further questions.
Still, she's going to look directly at him when he speaks again, looking...really, really serious.]
Just don't go following in his footsteps, alright? I don't know if we're going to be able to keep up if someone else decides to get ideas, but don't go killing yourself over some attempt to get out. No matter what happened there, you're still here.
You're stronger than you think you are.
no subject
[He's done enough of that and if he can save even one other person here... well, it would be nice.
He's not sure what to do with Undyne's words though and eventually he nods. He's really not that strong, but it's nice that someone thinks he is.]
