WEEK 6.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 6 You've lost a lot of people this week, haven't you? Katniss Everdeen and Weiss Schnee were killed for rule violations, while Chie Hori and Frank Archer were murdered by Mikoto Suoh and Yuuki Terumi. It doesn't really matter how they died, though, does it? After all, they're dead now and the only thing you can do is keep moving forward. It seems like there's no end in sight. 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... Changes were promised to you this week; while Sunday dawns seeming no different from the previous weeks, it seems one change is going to remain a constant - namely, a new floor has been opened up to you. Whether this is a promising sign or not is something that you're going to need to decide for yourself. The important thing, for now, is that you continue to do well. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 19

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

The same is true for me, everyone was where they should have been.

[So maybe they're the first? And things will spiral out of control from there? So...maybe everything that is to happen to his loved ones is his fault?]

...

I could stand being here myself, I know I can take care of myself and stay alive. But Giovanni...he's six. How is he going to survive something like that?

[hesperos]

[ Honestly, it felt like a nightmare when he had opened up the envelope to see his long-time friend had also been roped into this mess. For a moment he had thought that everything felt...impossible. It wasn't because he had no faith in Flynn, but rather because he realized that the same could happen so easily to his other friends too.

It caused him to have some...serious doubts, putting it lightly. However, he knows that sulking's not going to do them any favors. Even if he's still weighted down by the motive himself.

For a long moment, Yuri's standing in silence because he's thinking of something. He knows there's really no right answer to Luca's question, but at the same time he doesn't want to say anything like... 'he won't', basically. ]

I can't guarantee anything that's gonna happen with anyone over there for sure. But, I know one thing:

[ If Luca's looking over at him, he'll notice Yuri's holding up a photo of his important person--Flynn. It's a man with short, spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and clad in blindingly white armor. ]

Flynn'd look out for the little guy. Keep him safe; he's a knight back at home, it's kinda his thing, you know? And he's always been like that too--I've known him practically all my life to know that much. Plus, Flynn's not the type to do anything stupid--he's sharp and he's a capable leader.

I know it's probably not going to ease your worries much, or at all, considering everything. But, someone's going to be looking out for him at least.

[notaccurate]

[It's not enough to completely erase all of Luca's worries. No, those are going to linger until he is 100% sure his son is safe. But it does help a little bit, knowing there is at least one person who would help. One person to keep an eye on a child and make sure he didn't get picked off as an 'easy target'.

That thought is enough to dull the urge to do something extremely irresponsible, at the very least. So hooray for that?]

I suppose that is all I can ask for. If there is even one person there to take care of him, then...

[Then he might be okay. Until Luca can get there and rescue him, at least.

Suddenly Luca is struck by another thought, and he grimaces.]

He's not tall enough to reach those podiums, the ones from the trials.

[At least he might not see people get hella murdered that way?]

[hesperos]

[ As long as it was able to do some good, Yuri's going to be content with that for now. It's a shitty situation, but he figures they need to take what they can get and do what they can. Though, it's fairly obvious someone's going to pretty much act. There's no question about that, between the motive and the timer. ]

That's good. He can even have someone vote for him in his stead or something. I'm sure there'll be enough volunteers there.

[ He checks on the food behind him. Almost done. ]

[notaccurate]

[Oh yeah, someone is going to kill this week. It's just a question of who, and Luca is very torn on if he wants to be the one doing the killing.]

Hopefully. I don't want him to see the worst of this.

...

[He looks away nervously for a moment, and then he rubs at the back of his neck as he speaks again.]

This may be a bit much to ask, but. Well. May I stay with you, for the next few nights?

[hesperos]

[ When Luca had said that he didn't want his son to see the worst of it, Yuri had been stirring some of the Beef Stew so it would cook evenly. However, he didn't expect the man to make such a request, and almost lost the cooking spoon in the pot. That would've been a pain to fish it out, given how hot the food is.

He just stops instead and lies it carefully in the pot, and he shuts off the fire.

Yuri can tell that Luca needs his help, and he doesn't abandon his companions in need; plus he does have his own worries, though he won't voice them easily. He finds no problem reaching an answer. ]

Yeah, sure. Can't leave you out hanging to dry, you know?

[ Yuri's back is now facing the counter and he's back to leaning against it, as he's begun to let the stew cool. ]

[notaccurate]

[Luca nods, and he sighs in what may be relief.]

I'm...it's too tempting, this week. At least if I'm around someone else, I won't have the time to myself to think about it and talk myself into doing it.

[And, well. Yuri's probably the safest person here, as far as 'Luca murder targets' go.]

[hesperos]

[ Well, he's not surprised to hear that, considering how this conversation was going, and this week's motive was a real pain in theass. ]

Good.

[ ... ]

You just better not snore or anything, or I'm going to need to find a way to craft up makeshift earplugs.

[notaccurate]

Nobody ever mentioned any snoring.

[Belatedly he realizes he should have phrased that differently so that it didn't sound like he was sharing a bed with half the damn city. Welp.]

...ah, so, well. You should be alright?

[hesperos]

[ He'll just blink, looking confused.

He feels like he just missed something, but that'd be probably nothing new. ]

Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm not going to do anything stupid--it's been a long week and this motive is a pain in the ass, but it's not going to do anyone any good if I do something because of it.

[notaccurate]

[For once Luca is actually glad that Yuri is painfully dense.]

Well, if you are going to be keeping an eye on me, then I suppose it is only fair for me to keep an eye on you.

[hesperos]

[ ...technically if someone were successful too it would do someone some good, but Yuri's trying not to see it that way. Ha ha ha. ]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[ As long as you don't try to be his mom or something it's fine. ]

[notaccurate]

[That is true, but this is definitely not a good time for Yuri to figure out just how much Luca has been flirting with him over the last few weeks.]

We'll need to take cards to your room, or some other game. Unless you are an early sleeper?

[hesperos]

[ Definitely not, considering the timing of uh...tomorrow's stuff too. ]

Me, an early sleeper? Not in my life--Flynn used to whine about it sometimes back when we were knights and I'd overslept.
