Week 7.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 7 Orihime Inoue, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, and Kirei Kotomine all died this past week. One of your Coordinators died as well, leaving you with a new face but still no end to this. Several of you are finding yourselves at a crossroads: either keep moving forward, or accept the inevitability of fate. It's your own choice, your own decision; no one's going to make it for you. Over half of you are gone now. 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... Once again, a new floor has been opened to you; unfortunately, either this is a particularly strange reward or Jericho is starting to get downright sarcastic. Perhaps there's something in it for you despite the setup; who knows, though there's really only one way to find out. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 16

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week seven of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Coordinators, you can do so through private meetings with Hilda!]

[ . . . Wait, what? ]

So... time passed, is what you're suspecting?

[destage]

Yeah. I don't know what I felt, but...I don't know. It felt like everything just kind of swam away from my head, like I'd eaten something bad and passed out, maybe...?

[destage]

I just don't want something to happen to her, Mom...

[...It's probably pretty telling of how well she's able to shove down unwanted emotions, that all it takes is a swipe of her eyes and some breathing to get herself back down to something...acceptable enough. Even if she's shaky.]

I don't want to lose her. I've...I've never been allowed to feel like this before, for anyone...I want you both to live, and the fact that I can't split myself in two, it's...

[terrifying.]

[matchbreaker]

I'm not sure there's a poison that can knock our someone for two years, but who knows. Maybe something like that happened?

[destage]

...That's probably the closest thing I could think of. I just...I don't know how. I just assumed we all got kidnapped, but...

[Sayaka shudders.]

I...got this memory, before I got the one of my death. And I didn't remember it at all, while I was dying in Naegi-kun's bathroom...

[matchbreaker]

Well then, it's good that I've got you under oath here to watch over you. Now I won't need to worry about you and her teaming up to double murder.

[ She laughs it off there, but still rocks Sayaka on her hips. She leans her chin on the other's shoulder, and she glances up at her.

She could just offer to let Alex stay too, but would Sayaka want that? Could she trust that? Could Elda trust that or want it? It's a complicated question all around. ]

[matchbreaker]

Well like I said, we lost our memories here. The whole situation you described where you died sounds similar to here. I can understand the confusion, but it doesn't seem impossible to me you'd have faulty memories back there.

[ She drums her fingers on the wall. ]

Still, that is odd.

[ Dying... she has to hold back some anger at that. ]

[destage]

...I'll...have to talk to her before the week is over...

[Sayaka would definitely want that, but...really, she doesn't know how the two interact at all. Half of her is worried that something could happen there, while the other is...

...Worried about embarrassing mom shenanigans. Sayaka sighs, a bit.]

...I need her to know that this...this isn't what I want, and...that I want her to be safe.

[destage]

...I don't know if I could handle getting memories back of...whatever came before then...

[Really, that'd just drive her deeper into despair than she already is at the thought of all of this.]

I don't even know what could've happened.

[heritrix]

...Mm. It's up to you. I'd feel bad, having talked about myself so much, but I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable.

[This braid is going to take a while, though. It's a fishbone braid.]

[matchbreaker]

I've half a mind to threaten her myself, really.

[ But. That's rude. Probably.

... She still might.

... God it really would be convenient, wouldn't it? The both of them teaming up, securing a spot for Alex and ... ah. She realizes in that moment, it'd be Susan. ... But Susan would never, ever, ever forgive her. So maybe - maybe Rin might be better? But Rin would need to be killed or their case would be ruined.

... No, better to simply hold Sayaka in place. ]

[matchbreaker]

Why wouldn't you want those? A more complete picture's better, right?

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Yup! ]

No kidding. They're great.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Angel pokes her head in. ]

Oh hey, trying to learn how to play?

[sleepytimegal]

[ darn it girls, communicate

She watches carefully, taking in each movement. It's much like when she watched Terumi carving. ...That feels a little sad, honestly, so she pushes it away and focuses on Sayaka. Sayaka... Ah, don't focus on that part of Sayaka!

Ahem. ]

N- no, I got it! [ She demonstrates herself - she does have it, but she also has a bit of a pink face. ]

[sleepytimegal]

You'll have to try and keep track of me, so I don't blend away into the crowd.

[sleepytimegal]

[ Mmm... That's good, a forehead kiss. Really, she... ]

...Of course, I just... Sayaka, I'm scared. I'm... [ ... ] I don't want anyone to get killed for me.

[sleepytimegal]

[ ... ]

I...think I pitied her? I wanted to understand what was going on with her.

[sleepytimegal]

Practicing! I started last week. ...So yeah, trying to learn.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Oh, cool! I've been poking at the piano since we got here, it's fun.

[sleepytimegal]

Yeah, I heard from Susan! She said she'd been teaching you a little.

[didntgetdadslooks]

We should uh. Jam? Once we both figure out how to play more.

[ She frowns. ]

I think I know some music from back in your time.

[sleepytimegal]

Start a newbie band. Call ourselves Graceside Dropouts.

[ Light drumming. ]

Yeah? Like what?

[hesperos]

[ That's the spirit!!

...Is anyone surprised Yuri is starting with the black paints first? Probably not--while Sayaka's are liable to be bright, his are going to be dark. ]

It sure will. It might even make it look like a real school.

[ Obviously not on his list of priorities, though. ]

[hesperos]

[ Despite the fact Yuri picks up after himself while in public spaces, he usually leaves his bed sheets unfolded. One little thing. ]

Oh yeah, I agree. Well, I don't have a habit for cleaning but I get what you mean.
