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... |

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.]
no subject
Well, usually when you feel tired, you're find a place to lie down. Last time I checked, stairs are hard and bumpy.
no subject
S-see?
no subject
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.]
no subject
I'm not really tired enough to sleep though.
no subject
[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?
no subject
no subject
[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.
no subject
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.]
no subject
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.

no subject
[But for now, it's a mystery.] You're gonna be sure to never go out alone, alright?
no subject
Yeah, I'll be careful. And I mean, i-if anything happens, I'll - I can always just call for Rick.
no subject
...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?
no subject
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.
no subject
[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.
no subject
Y-you don't really think someone's gonna commit murder again... do you?
no subject
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.
no subject
no subject
They can't afford another trial.]
I'll be headin' downstairs. Be sure not to stay out too late.
