trustfell | Week 8.

WEEK 8
Regardless of what you think of the most recent deaths, four more people have died this week. Milla Maxwell, Angel, Susan Ashworth, and Aligula are gone now, leaving you with about a quarter of your original number. Thirty-five down to twelve - this can't keep going for much longer, can it?

Is there anything you can do?

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...

Unlike the previous weeks, however, it seems that either you've reached the end of the line or Jericho has decided to stop rewarding you for your effort; where there would usually be a stairwell to a new floor, you're met with nothing but solid wall. Perhaps it's distressing; perhaps it's a good sign.

Only time will tell, and time isn't something you have a lot of around here.

PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 12

I'm glad. If you were going to commit to that, it'd be annoying if you didn't get her back.

Nothing was ever going to stop me from getting her back. Me, Henry, Ren, even that human boyfriend of hers though I don't know what he did. We all rushed up to the Brownlick manor and showed 'em what for.

[Not just Elda, but her whole family... That makes Rin smile.]

That sounds just like you. With the values of their matriarch, it's no wonder your family turned out just as genuine as you are.

They're great, every one of 'em. Even Calera's been doing better lately, even if it gives me hives.

[ She says it with a proud little laugh. ]

[Rin chuckles, lightly.] So you're the possessive type of mother-in-law.

Well I can't help it if she chose to be difficult to everyone.

I think this is the pot calling the kettle black sort of scenario.

Oh you stow it, don't quote my husband back at me. He's dead.

Then I have his approval. Who's going to say it if I don't?

My Henry would have been fine without her you know! That whole strong match thing... he just distracted me by bringing me back to my coffin!

Oh, come on now. She gave you your grandchildren, didn't she?

Well, yes, of course, and I am grateful for that. But it's likely her attitude that sees Ren being as rough around the edges as he is. Karin definitely got her rack from her.

Well that's more than I ever needed to know.

Well it's true.

[ GRUMBLE . . . ]

Have more consideration for your granddaughter, at least. It's no good saving her just to make her die from embarrassment.

[Sigh.] What a dysfunctional family.

Well otherwise she's the spitting image of me! So she doesn't need to worry, even if she didn't have a boy already she's still gorgeous.

[ GOSH. ]

[Heh. So she's okay with Karin dating a human? If the girl has no future as a vampire, it stands to reason, but to think Elda would come that far... But she loves Sayaka dearly herself, so she clearly always had that in her. What a strange thing to think about.]

Father used to tell me I was the spitting image of my grandmother, too.

Oh yeah? Well, that's good, to have that sort of connection. Did you ever know her.

[ Honestly, she's... alarmed? It's been a long path to get even remotely okay with Kenta. but. ]

[Rin shakes her head.]

No. She and grandfather died before I was born. I did stay with the Zenjous from time to time, however, until they moved away. They were the grandparents on my mother's side.

[ she nods. ]

Mmm, good, good. Family's important - honestly, I barely knew my grandmother. She tended to sleep through the years when I was young.

[Rin goes quiet again at those words, looking away and sitting quietly.

She wishes there were windows in here. This room is a beautiful one, the secret wall aside, but she misses the outside world. Flowers. It would be spring by now in Fuyuki, wouldn't it? The cherry blossom trees would be in bloom...]

...I have a younger sister, you know. [...] Well, we've never really called each other that.

[ what the ... What? She looks at her with some surprise, and then leans forward. She looks quizzically at her and. ]

... why the hell not?

[There's little change in Rin's facial expression, smooth as a river stone.]

Because she was adopted into another family eleven years ago. Part of the agreement between the Matou and the Tohsaka at that time is that we'd have no contact. She was theirs, not ours.
