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. |
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

no subject
[She's mentioned him before, but...you know, she doesn't know much about him, or if she does, she doesn't quite remember. He gave her the drinking advice, right...]
Michael, right? Is he the one there...?
no subject
Michael. My brother. Back from the dead just to go through this.
no subject
Oh dear god, that's--Sayaka gasps at that.]
Alex, oh my god...
[What the fuck?]
I'm--I'm so sorry. He absolutely doesn't deserve something like this, especially...especially if something already happened to him. That's so low of them...
no subject
It's...my fault. Again. It was my fault he- he died in the first place, and now...
no subject
[She wants to tell her to not consider this her fault. It's not her fault she was chosen for this, it's not her fault that any of this was happening, there's so much she wants to say, but...]
You didn't sign up for this--of course it's not your fault! It's their fault! It's that stupid goth brat and that horrid jerk's fault! I don't know what happened, but...please, Alex, don't blame yourself. It's their fault. Not yours.
[...she says it anyway. She says it desperately, like...there's something behind her tone, too, and she pulls Alex closer while shaking. Is she being selfish? Absolutely. Does she assume Alex needs this as much as her? ...Probably, at least in part.]
no subject
She gingerly wraps her arms around Sayaka; the hesitance comes from confusion, nothing else. ]
S- Sayaka... I can't... I can't help but think it.
no subject
[Sayaka breathes a bit, rubbing small circles into Alex's back.]
I don't know what happened at home for you, so...I don't think I can say anything there. But...you don't have to blame yourself for what's happening here. Is that--is that even close to fair to you? When you got basically picked out of a hat for this? There's...
[...Sayaka clings tighter.]
We all know they have the ability to bring people back...they can make it so anyone's not dead again, and...and...it's just unfair! Like the only thing we did wrong was exist!
no subject
But she doesn't want to. Not yet. She can't. ]
Why us? [ She just barely squeaks that out. ] Why us, of everyone? What did we do?
no subject
[Sayaka shudders a bit and looks away--there's plenty she could tell Alex, too. About how she intended to murder someone and get away with it by framing her only friend at the school, all for that career, it's...]
Poor luck is the only thing I can think of. I want an answer for that myself...
[...she wants to say it, say something else, come on Sayaka--dammit, she's just averting her gaze.]
no subject
Alex sniffs a little, head rested on Sayaka's shoulder, chin dipping into her collarbone. Really, what can she say or do right now? ]
...Th- thank you...for being with me right now. [ ... ] You're still...what's holding me together.
no subject
[Sayaka arms...they're tighter around Alex, now, and her voice dips into a bit of a more desperate tone, and Sayaka shakes something horrible. Does she really want to tell Alex this? Does she really want to go into detail about all of this, and...]
...I don't think I'd still be here, if it...wasn't for you. I...I'm...I'm not...
[She continues to shake, and as much as it pains her, she separates from Alex for a moment.]
...Can I show you something?
no subject
Of course. [ Her eyes are a little red, but she wipes at them. She clears her throat with a little nod. ] Anything.
no subject
She lifts her shirt to expose her stomach, and a rather large scar over it--that kitchen knife didn't go into her stomach gently, and it's...weird to show it off, even if it's to give Alex a better understanding of her situation.]
...I'm already dead, Alex.
no subject
Oh, like.
Alex goes pale. ]
Like...Kimblee?
no subject
[...]
It's...my fault that happened. I did something really awful.
no subject
What happened?
no subject
He said...that there was simply nowhere for me to return to. And that the only way out was to graduate.
[Sayaka speaks of this...with a weird, dull monotone. She's not looking at Alex, and she doesn't flinch back from the touch. It's not like it hurts, or anything. Not now, at least.]
...I used my only friend in that place. Naegi-kun. I...traded rooms with him, while sending an invitation out to another boy to meet me in my room. My plan was...to frame him, to get out of there and get back to my group before I had nothing left. That boy...he managed to kill me, before I could kill him.
[At least the story had a happy ending for someone, right? Just. Not her. Sayaka doesn't really have her memory of dying back yet, but at this point, it's a foregone conclusion.]
no subject
[ Alex doesn't recoil upon hearing Sayaka's story. It would be natural to, but...well, Clarissa's put a lot of things in perspective for her. She can't seem to stop looking at it, the scar. Where Sayaka was stabbed...and how she died. The mark of her past, like the Sunken are for Alex.
Her voice is...soft. ] Fuck that...psycho teddy bear. Sayaka... When did you remember?
no subject
[It's a lie. It's such a lie, but she's gotten so good at lies over the years that she doesn't even seem to twitch, or give a tell.]
I...realized it sooner, though. When I got the memory of that motive, when...Kimblee-san was still here. Those thoughts poked at my head, even then...that's when I knew, but I...still wanted to try to be happy, you know...? Because...I'm still here, and have a purpose...
[...That's what gets her to shake again.]
no subject
[ She hesitates for a moment. ]
...Why didn't you tell me?
no subject
[Sayaka wants to move. She wants to run away from this, instead of confronting it, just leave Alex behind and with questions, but...
Is this what love is? True love? Sitting there, in that room, just...wanting to work through this, admit her fault, and apologize. She's not going to move.]
I wasn't sure how to deal with it, myself. Other than just...trying to ignore it, like everything else.
no subject
[ Alex stays right there. She looks down, and maybe...just maybe, she thinks she can find more of her voice. ]
I get it. I- I didn't wanna tell you, about...Clarissa, or about the Sunken, not really, or...about...Michael. 'Cause...you were at least...my friend. And I didn't- wanna complicate it.
[ Aligula's nagging voice, in the back of her head. ]
But...we can't do that. Especially if everything's- it's gonna be like this. With this place, the things they're putting us through.
no subject
[To say goodbye to that person she was, and try to just...resolve, to change for the better.]
...I don't blame you for not telling me about any of that, you know. I...um...I l--love you all the same. [...she kind of flushes at the word, that might've been too much, her face is gonna heat up a ton.] But...if you ever do want to talk about that, I'm...here, okay? I've got secrets of my own that...well, you know now. And I'm not gonna look at you any differently for yours. I never have, and I...never will.
[...]
You're honestly such a big reason that...I want to keep going, and keep getting better. The others are too, but...I meant what I said, you know? You mean the world to me. The world and more.
no subject
Alex feels her face heat up. Love... That's a big thing. She was just talking about it days ago, the word, what it means, with Elda, and... Really, she didn't expect it to come up so soon. Not like this. But if she's being honest with herself, truly honest, shouldn't she acknowledge that?
Shouldn't she acknowledge a few...very important things?
Her words are soft, as everything is. ] ...I- I'm glad that...I've been able to be that for you, Sayaka. I'm so...so glad I've been able to help you. That you- were given a second chance here, 'cause- 'cause I... you too. I love you too.
no subject
Those soft words of Alex's, they...make Sayaka just...stare at Alex for a moment, and...it makes her feel so warm. Even if she needs to learn how to trust more, it's...this is what love is, right? This is it. It certainly feels like it.]
...Thank you. Thank you...so much, and...I'm sorry. A-again. For not...for not telling you.
