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. |
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!]
Elda's Room
...She probably looks odd as hell with a pillow that's got quite a few things and a teapot in the hallway, but. You know. If it works, it works.]
Elda?
no subject
The big stand out thing is the walls.
Every viable inch of them is covered, covered in sketches. Elda's family, the people here, people Sayaka's never seen before, dozens and dozens of sketches taped to the walls around everywhere in the room.
But right now? ]
Ahah, about time! Let's get you in here, girl!
no subject
Well, Sayaka will get in there when Elda asks, and close the door behind her.]
Apologies, I wanted to make sure I was prepared when I came in here. It never hurts to be, you know?
[Sayaka bows her head, politely.]
Thank you for allowing me to stay the night.
no subject
Still, she grins, ]
IF you ask me so desperately, how could I not?
no subject
[Just let Sayaka unpack her pillow--she brought one of her stuffed animals and a blanket, and she'll just set herself up a spot on the floor...oh, and she'll take out a few things she keeps in her sleeves and set them by the tea pot. Red stones, brass key, and...what looks like a note? Huh.]
...I don't want to prove that woman right, after all.
no subject
[ She points at it a few times and shakes her head. She takes up a seat at the desk, crossing her legs. Oh, did she already heat up some tea? Oh no that's to make it here. She nods. ]
What woman, Hilda?
no subject
[...she wouldn't tell her that unless she was certain. Sayaka...sighs a bit, before getting set up on the bed.]
It is your bed, so...if you do, I don't mind at all. Thank you, though.
[...the tea is actually already prepared, she might smell it? It's chamomile. Her usual sleepy tea of choice.]
And...I'm not dignifying her with a name, but yeah, her. I really hate her.
no subject
[ Honestly, Elda doesn't say it but she ... hates that bed??? it's too soft and doesn't cover things like a coffin. Also she forgot how bright this room can be while there's no blanket over the light? Awwell, she'll focus on the conversation at hand, leaning her chin into her palm. ]
no subject
[There is the most annoyed tone in the world when she says that.]
The first time went alright, until she...decided to call what I do to remember people weird. You know, trying to memorize what I could about them. [...the weird dead people way, you know, that thing Kimblee used to do.] I found it awful rude for a horrid woman like her to consider that weird, and...well, the most recent one, uh...in hindsight, the question I asked was kind of awful, but I don't think I'll be speaking to her again.
[She'll promptly toss Elda the note she has with her. The handwriting is actually really nice...
As for the contents, uh.]
The arrangement is for one other person, you sick fuck. We're not here to negotiate.
[...a lot less so.]
no subject
How'd you end up with a note?
[ That said, you sick fuck... it should make her blood boil. On some level it does, but on another, Sayaka was being impertinent. ]
no subject
I...tried not to impose too much on Alena-san, back when I spoke to her, so I left notes as a way to see if she'd be okay to talk. I honestly just went about it the same way with that other girl. I wasn't expecting anything back.
[And well. Expectancies, and all of that, they proceeded to be broken.]
...I had asked her about the possibility of killing multiple people, to get more than one person out. She was...kind of justified.
[She doesn't like admitting to the fact that she was utterly prepared to kill multiple people if she got a good answer. It...causes her to avert her gaze.]
no subject
[ She thumbs over the note, considering it. ]
Who did you intend to kill? If you're asking something that bold, I hope you had some sort of plan.
no subject
I didn't...have any sort of plan. I just...knew that I would have gone for three, at minimum.
no subject
no subject
[Holy shit, Sayaka actually raises her hands in the air.]
I--I would not kill you. Killing Ashworth-san would...killing Tohsaka-san would...
[...Sayaka starts to vibrate hardcore, just plain averting her gaze and feeling like someone dumped slime on her. Rightfully so.]
...I don't know. I didn't think it through, and...I...I do that so I can remember those people so I'm not tempted toward doing that again, and yet...
[She wishes her hair were longer. God, that was just--]
I thought...if I went into that mindset I had again, I could just...I could do something good with it for once...and it'd balance out the bad, and you'd all be able to live...
no subject
Where to begin... ]
It is killing them, though. The fact of the matter is that if you're committing to a mad plan like that, the emotional requirement of it is to be certain of the worth of the lives you selected over the others. To not kill me - even if you then revive me later - also means that you're both trusting there's someone else you can outfox and that I won't find you out at the trial.
[ She knows she's being harsh. But much like earlier this week when she said only a gaggle of idiots would be killed off by Sayaka's room switch thing, she feels this - the facts of it - is reassuring. ]
... If I may touch what is sacred though, I don't think Kimblee intended for you to traumatize yourself.
no subject
[Has she really changed for the better? Right now, it sure as hell doesn't feel like it.
Sayaka clutches Elda.]
...Kimblee-san didn't ask it of me, though. I...decided to do that myself. I felt...that someone should try to remember them. I never understood it, but...it made sense, you know? He impressed the importance of remembering people, and I wanted to try and emulate that a bit. I knew no one else would, so...
[She sounds frustrated when she says that, though.]
...I'm still rotten, though.
no subject
[ She says all this gently, but somewhat filled with authority. It's better to be firm, right? The girl knows that she is loved, Elda spelled that out very plainly. But if she's going to continue to have these moods, then Elda...
Well, Elda will soothe it. ]
You aren't rotten.
no subject
...Why did he do it? Did...did he ever tell you?
no subject
[ She is still speaking in a fairly even done. ]
That man was far more warped than any of us still here. You, me. The lot of us. [ Well, maybe not Aligula ] He's a man who I suspect never felt alive but for when he was risking his life. Given some his reactions to executions, I imagine his mind had come to see carnage as something appealing in and of itself. That's a common enough way for a soldier's mind to shatter.
And so, I should think he remembered people to know he once fought them or fought alongside them. [ And on a base level, probably liked the sight of some of the corpses. ]
no subject
If anything, though, it makes her feel even worse about misunderstanding him. She'd been trying to understand this entire time, even if she had some selfish reasons for it, and there she went again.
Sayaka leans into Elda a bit, tears pricking at her eyes.]
...I really messed up, huh?
no subject
[ She laughs at little at that, and she tilts her head to kiss Sayaka on the forehead. It's a gentle movement, and she hums a little, shifting her position to let the girl lean all the more. ]
People don't choose who's important to them. There's no shame in that.
no subject
[Maybe that's just it. The most fucked up coping mechanism on the planet.
She'll gladly take the cue to lean in more--she smiles a bit despite herself at the kiss on the forehead, too. It's...a comfort, in this place. It's not something she's used to, but god...]
...I'm sorry. For...all of this. I shouldn't have let myself think like that.
no subject
As I've said before, you may think however you please. Desire whatever you please - it's action that speaks more than both of those. If I were to police thoughts, then I've been more guilty every week.
[ She kisses her again, stroking her gently. ]
... I just hate to see you so hurt yourself.
no subject
...I just...don't want to get to the point where I'd break my promise again. Where I'd even consider it. He'd be cross with me. Alex would to, and everyone else...
[Sayaka clings a bit to Elda.]
I thought I changed for the better, so that way I'd never think like that again. I'm sorry you have to see me like this, and that it keeps happening...
