Week 9.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 9 With another death to the timer and another double murder - accidental though that last part may have been - your numbers have been cut even further. Hibiki Ganaha, Sayaka Maizono, Alex, and Kyrie Ushiromiya are all dead, bringing those left alive from twelve down to eight. It's almost hard to believe this started with thirty-five people. There are so few of you 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... It seems that the pattern from last week is holding; there is no new floor to occupy yourselves with. It doesn't seem much else has changed, either - leading to questions that are uncomfortable but must be confronted. Namely, where do you go from here? Is there anything you can do? PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 8

...Well, just the papers are from Hibiki. It's not meant for anyone in this building.

[And it's a report more than anything, but Rin stops to balance her half of the stack in one arm, so she can remove something else from her skirt pockets.]

But Alex left behind some letters. I was in the middle of delivering them when I went to Hibiki's room.

[hesperos]

... Right.

[ Okay so he did look at some of them and could tell that they were rather detailed, but anyway -- ]

Alex did? ...I'm guessing she might've wrote something for me to read?

[ Or if Rin was checking for that. ]

[heritrix]

I didn't open it, but there was one with your name on it at any rate.

[Leafing through them, she finds the letter with his name on it and hands it to him.]

[hesperos]

... Heh, thanks. Guess I'll read it later.

[ He'll take it, though he'll look a little sheepish as he does. Since he did exactly that not exactly too long ago. ]

[heritrix]

[To be fair to him, Alex's is in a sealed envelope, whereas the letter Hibiki wrote her was opened, and on top of the other stack of papers. It was a little unavoidable, Rin just doesn't know how to address those feelings right now. She has a lot on her mind, actually.

...cue awkward silence.]

[hesperos]

[ It's funny and ironic but 'not knowing how to address feelings like those' are also something they have in common. It might not help that they're all stuck in a murdergame when stuff like this is happening but hey.

Yuri doesn't let the awkward silence last very long because as soon as it becomes apparent, he's gonna ask -- ]

...You gonna be okay?

[heritrix]

[There's not another option. She won't let herself not be okay.

...]

I meant what I said back there at the trial, you know. It might take a while before I'm able to come back to Japan, but someday I'll definitely have Hibiki show me Okinawa.

[hesperos]

Heh, alright.

[ They do need to be able to keep it together. Especially right now -- either way, he seems satisfied with Rin's answer. Enough not to poke or prod, anyway.

And, well... ]

Might as well stop standing around and get moving then, right?

[heritrix]

[Did he figure it out? Rin looks at the stack of papers out of hand, now terribly out of order. The report Hibiki wrote to the Mage's Association, to argue why they should pardon her.

Rin knows if she leaves this place, she might very well find herself in another courtroom and another trial. She's not sure if Yuri's guessed what kind of risk she's in... But she doesn't want to ask him to find out. If he does know, she's just happy with his response, as that means she doesn't have to explain it.

She's never intended to accept being executed if that's the Association's ruling, after all. There's only going forward.]

Right.

[hesperos]

[ ... He sure did.

But, hey. He has a feeling, judging by that response before the one she just gave that she wouldn't fold them, not even in front of a group of assholes like that. Still, he's a little bit curious about something as they're walking around. ]

So, you mind if I ask you about somethin'?
