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!]

[ Alex nudges her with her head; what it really looks more like, then, is nuzzling up against her, with her head on Sayaka's shoulder. ]

What're you apologizing for, dummy? No one...wants to be alone. [ At least... ] If- if they do, I haven't met 'em.

[destage]

...I was considering hurting someone for the motive.

[She says it simply, while Alex nuzzles into her. She doesn't move much, just...kind of going rigid.]

[sleepytimegal]

[ ...There's what she was suspecting. There's...the thing she thought, immediately. Does it make her a bad person for it, for thinking of Sayaka like that...?

If it helps. Alex doesn't pull away. If anything, she holds tighter. ]

I don't blame you for that. I can't.

[destage]

...Were you...?

[...she hates the fact that she honestly wasn't surprised by that, but considering what Elda was thinking? No, somehow she can't be surprised.

Still, she doesn't have the right to judge, and likewise holds a bit tighter. She's a twig, but she won't snap, at the least.]

[sleepytimegal]

...I think you'd be hardpressed to find someone who wasn't, even for a second. The...leaving everyone behind, that's a...even if you can get up the urge to. After all these weeks, there's someone...at least one someone, who you...feel strongly for.

[ Love. Care for. Can't leave. ]

So, I... I think, even for a second...everyone thought of it. ...I know I did...before I realized I couldn't do that.

[destage]

...I have three. At...minimum.

[Sayaka mutters that much, already feeling the wave of disgust wash over her. It's horrible to think like this, and she's still got what Hilda wrote her on her mind.]

That girl, she...said the arrangement was for one person only. That's...I don't know if that's the only thing that made me not consider it, but...I don't think I could do this, either.

[sleepytimegal]

[ ... ]

I...have a few too. More than one. And I know, I couldn't leave the others behind, and-- I couldn't do that...to someone.

[ "Hey, I did this for you, wanna have the guilt of 14 other people's lives in your heart forever?" Yeah, no. ]

This one's... They just wanna make us choose. Again and again and again... It's just like the others. I- ...you gotta tell yourself that.

[destage]

...I'm not going to do this. I...I won't leave you all alone. I like you all too much for that. I...you. You.

[...Because that totally makes sense.

She knows it doesn't, and she...well, kisses express this sort of thing better than what she generally could. Have another on the forehead, girl.]

...If worst comes to worst, I'm...trusting Elda to make sure I go to sleep, before I try to hurt someone.

[sleepytimegal]

[ Trust Elda to? Alex almost says that out loud, but- no, no. ...She trusts that Elda wouldn't want to put Sayaka through that. That's what she trusts.

She kisses back, just a small one on Sayaka's nose. ]

Good. I just... I want you to take care of yourself...and not do something you'd regret. For your sake, okay?

[destage]

[...God, she wants to just...

No, Sayaka restrains herself. She smiles, just a bit.]

...I'll do my best. I promise, Alex.

[sleepytimegal]

[ ...Another little kiss, at that, on the lips. ]

Okay. I...don't wanna lose you, either.
