Week 5.

WEEK 5

Two more are gone this week. Luna and Chie Hori have joined those who are present only in memory now, and their passing seems to have left a lot of emotions raw and exposed.

But as usual, the group has at least a little bit of time to recover. Saturday can be dedicated to rest and sleep; on Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock. The stairwells are clear of bodies; there's no more death to be dealt with for the time being. Unless, of course, you happened to recover something particularly unfortunate in your dreams...

Once again, there's a new floor to explore; your reward for doing your job well.

And since you've survived for a month now, you are doing your job well.

However, the new floor isn't the only thing that's changed; there are a few things about the building that seem a little...off. A few things that weren't there before might be, or a few things that should be there aren't; you'll just have to see what the week brings, won't you? That is, if you're not going to be investigating all the goings-on personally...

PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 21

[Up until Mordecai spoke, Morty wasn't even aware of the man's appearance. So he looked a little startled at the question, but soon gave Mordecai a slightly embarrassed smile - while he rubbed the back of his head.]

I-I'm okay! Just kinda tired, I - I guess? [It's pretty awkward to talk to Mordecai without getting yelled at, and he admittedly looks really uncertain about it.]
forcegalactic: (thinking)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-11-30 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Mordecai walked down to Morty's level and sat on the opposite side of the stairwell. It may block the path, but getting too close to the other would be uncomfortable for Morty and dangerous for Mordecai. He isn't in the mood to be near people today.]

Well, usually when you feel tired, you're find a place to lie down. Last time I checked, stairs are hard and bumpy.
mortyfied: (115;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-11-30 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
They're - no, they're totally something you can lay on. [To prove his point, he lays back on the stairs, his arms spread above him and he's quite obviously wincing because of the bumpiness of them. But whatever, point proven.]

S-see?

[A good long stare.]

Yeah, looks like a good way to mess up your spine. Get up, you need a place to lie down where you won't get hurt.

[Mordecai pushes himself off the steps and trots down to the bottom. Stairs are not the safest place to be if you're trapped in a murder experiment.]

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-11-30 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
..o-okay. [He does as he's told, pulling him up from his step. He'll stretch a little, rub his back a little as he does so before stepping down to the very bottom. Which is like, two steps.]

I'm not really tired enough to sleep though.

Still, you need a place better suited for restin', especially someplace where we can keep an eye on you. You don't wanna be alone too long here.

[He takes a few steps down the hallway and turns expectantly towards Morty.] ...Just curious, are you makin' sure you have enough food and supplies in your room in case you wanna stay there all day?
mortyfied: (152;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-11-30 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
U-um... no - not really. [He looks a little embarrassed at that.] I don't really know how to cook or anything and I usually come out for lunch at least, so I-I think I'm okay.

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-11-30 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That ain't a problem. I'm talkin' about those rations in the storage room and the packaged food from the kitchen. There's gonna come a time when you feel safer inside your room than out of it, and I've been keepin' a large emergency supply pile in case that ever happens to you.

[They won't break down the door. Their rooms can be used as a panic closet. It's one comfort they have.]

Morty, I don't want another murder to happen again, and that means makin' sure you're doin' your best to stay safe.
mortyfied: (154;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-11-30 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Morty rubs his arm a little, looking off to the side kind of awkwardly and silent for a moment as he thinks over Mordecai's worries.

When he speaks up, it's hesitant and a little quiet.]


...u-um.... w-why are you being nice to me? [Last he remembered, Mordecai thought HE was going to be the one murdering everyone else so hearing the words "I don't want another murder, so you have to be safe" is pretty surprising. And confusing.]

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-11-30 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a difficult question. Why is he looking out for anyone here? The most important thing is to get out alive, preferably without more murders. Morty might snap and kill them all - and if he was in his room all day, they might all be a bit safer. On the other hand, Morty had Sol, and being so young, he didn't deserve his life to be cut short.

Less death and violence is always preferable.
]

...Because I don't want no trouble in my place. ["Your heart's constant desire for peace defines you as mighty."] Which included my saloon, my hotel, my town, and now this whole research facility.

I may not have my powers here, but that doesn't mean I can't sit back and watch everythin' go down the drain. So I won't be surprised if you ended up killin' someone, but I aim to prevent you from dyin' in the meantime.
mortyfied: (166;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-12-02 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
That... sounds really confusing. [He'll be straight up and honest about that. His expression doesn't look very changed, he still looks troubled like he has a hard time believing what Mordecai was saying.]
forcegalactic: (Trouble's comin')

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Which part? The powers? Yeah, last week I remembered I had cosmic space powers, but I don't remember how I got 'em. Wish I could, because I'm sure it would be quite the tale.

[But for now, it's a mystery.] You're gonna be sure to never go out alone, alright?
mortyfied: (77;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-12-02 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
U-uh.... [Actually, he meant the "I think you're going to kill someone but I'm gonna make sure you don't get killed" part but sure, space powers. Those are pretty weird too.]

Yeah, I'll be careful. And I mean, i-if anything happens, I'll - I can always just call for Rick.

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Doesn't it make perfect sense? Less murder = good. Morty needs some help in staying alive. Mordecai still has to keep in mind that Morty is a potential murderer, and keeping him indoors would make things safer overall.]

...Yeah, you can do that. [Rick cared about Morty...he's positive. The boy had at least one person he could depend on.] But that means no lyin' on the stairs late at night, you hear?
mortyfied: (134;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-12-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll nod in reply.]

G-got it. I just thought, y'know... it's not past ten yet so I didn't think it was going to be dangerous if I did.

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Morty, this place is becomin' as wide and empty as the red plains of Mars. It was one thing when all twenty-nine of us were stuck on one floor, but now that we got all this space, it's gonna get more dangerous.

[He watches Morty, hoping that he's still paying attention. He's not going to get too close to look him in the eye.]

Trouble doesn't go away at daylight. Sometimes, that's the most dangerous time.
mortyfied: (11;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-12-03 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
.... [He just kind of stares at the ground, looking a bit guilty. Mostly because he felt dumb for sitting on the stairs alone when it's apparently dangerous even during the day.]

Y-you don't really think someone's gonna commit murder again... do you?
forcegalactic: Will edit this art so many times (pondering)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-03 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Mordecai looks at the wall, thinking.]

I don't know. But you can never be to safe. From my experiences livin' on a frontier planet, just because it's generally accepted that stealin' and killin' ain't good doesn't people folks will still do it.
mortyfied: (153;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-12-03 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
But... [No, he can't even say "we're all friends here!" as an excuse to try and make himself feel better. He knows there's still always the chance Rick gets bored or finally snaps, and then it'd all just start over again. Even then, there's still probably someone else here who's the same...]

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-03 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Morty appears to understand. There's a sense of caution you develop when living somewhere deadly as this, and there are a few people here who need to be taught that more than others, Morty included.

They can't afford another trial.
]

I'll be headin' downstairs. Be sure not to stay out too late.
mortyfied: (89;)

[personal profile] mortyfied 2015-12-03 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
...o-okay. [Yeah, he definitely was starting to understand. Though he still wants to try and believe in everyone, believe that they wouldn't do something like this again but after having been through so many trials already.... it's starting to feel like it's just a naive hope at this point.]
