Fourth.

[trustmods]

The week has been relatively quiet after the utter debacle that was the previous weekend's trial; access to the fourth floor has generally ensured that no one has any excuse to not keep themselves entertained in one way or another, whether by way of games or by way of copious amounts of alcohol. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that this week's incentive came with a three-day limit this time – something that doesn't seem too geared toward discouraging the pattern that Fridays have fallen into around here. Thankfully, however, there are once again no bodies in the ballroom; it seems everyone has learned a lesson and decided to leave that place alone for the time being. But anybody heading upstairs beyond a certain point is going to have an...interesting time, let's put it that way. >Explore?

Has anyone in here seen Sol?! I told Blue I was gonna find her, but I can't find her anywhere.

[And here's an idiot bursting into the room. For argument's sake, we'll assume they're standing next to Sol in a way where she can't see her from the doorway.]

[mortyfied]

U-um... [Is all Morty has to say about that because that's a lil' awkward.

Hey, he'll move out of the way though so Hibiki can see for herself at least.]

[nankurunaisa]

[Huh?

There, on the table...that's...another dead body, isn't it?]

N-no...not Sol, too! What's...why...?! Why is Sol dead, too?!

[Hibiki feels like she's going to be sick, Morty.]

[mortyfied]

Sh-she's not dead! [JEEZ HIBIKI LISTEN TO WEISS]

She's j-just unconscious... [Believe me if she were dead, he'd be a mess right about now]

[nankurunaisa]

[WEISS' REPLY WASN'T THERE WHILE I WAS TYPING

You can't gang up on me like that??? Rude.]

[mortyfied]

[WELL TOO BAD im gonna gain up on you whether you like it or not because im a jerk]

[icysemblance]

She's over here, Hibiki.

[She'll wave her over.]

She's unconscious, but she doesn't look to be hurt, and her breathing and pulse are okay. We just have to wait on her to wake up.

[nankurunaisa]

Huh?

[She looks from Morty and then to Weiss before moving over to the bed. She exhales once she recognizes the rising and falling of a living person's chest.]

...I really hope my heart starts workin' again.

[icysemblance]

Do you need to lie down for a minute?

[nankurunaisa]

No, I think I'll be fine. For a second there, I thought...I thought we'd lost two nice people. I shouldn't feel relieved, but I am.

[icysemblance]

I honestly thought we had lost two good people, too.

I think it's okay to be relieved, even if we're sad.

[nankurunaisa]

I'm...I'm gonna spend some time with Dorika before the trial. If anyone needs me, I'm gonna be with the chickens, okay? I wasn't really able to find anythin'.

[icysemblance]

[Weiss is just going to go over and give her a quick hug. She looks like she needs it.]

All right. Be careful, okay?

[charcoalfeather]

Hibiki... she's over here.

[And... currently unconscious. Welp.]

She's alright, though!

[nankurunaisa]

Rakka, I need ya to do somethin' important for me! Can you come closer?

[charcoalfeather]

Huh? Something.... important?

[...Well, she's trusted Hibiki well enough so far? There really wasn't any reason not to worry about Sol right now either.

She goes over, expecting... anything, really.]

What is it?

[nankurunaisa]

[After not speaking to Rakka since the incinerator incident, Hibiki just throws her arms around her angelic friend.

After a few seconds, she exhales like someone who's just finished off a strong drink.]

There...I feel a bit better now! Thanks.

[charcoalfeather]

[Before Rakka could expect it, there was suddenly some hugging going on. It's not what she expected... but that didn't mean Rakka wasn't going to hug back.

Dangit, everyone needs a hug right now.

Despite the current situation, Rakka couldn't help but look like she was feeling a little better too.]

Uhh, you're welcome, Hibiki. I'm glad I could help.
