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

Oh, he's the best! He's so kind and gentle, and so smart, and strong and handsome...

... Conductor-san said my family was okay. He doesn't like lying, right? He has to be telling the truth about that.
forcegalactic: (dum dee dum)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Mordecai smiles and he begins sketching the outline of a woman.]

You might say the same thing about my wife. One of the smartest people you'll ever meet, my Harriet is. When she's home, she's just as sweet and gentle as she was thirty years ago when we first met.

[...His eyes aren't wet.]

That first day, he asked why we thought there was anyone left to look for us... I want to think he was just bein' cruel, but I-I can't help--

[Is Harriet alright?]
housenurse: (first you pound the fish flat)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-02 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[puts a comforting hand on his arm]

We just need to stay hopeful! If we stop thinking that we'll get out of here, or stop thinking that our families are waiting for us...

He... can be very cruel, I think. We've all seen that. [with poor Asuka-chan...]
forcegalactic: (what the shit)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[His face is itchy, that's all. A barely audible sniff is heard as he wipes scratches his eyes.]

I can't help but wonder what's happenin'. Harriet's always been a worrywart, and if she thinks somethin' happened to me...I don't want to think how bad that'll hurt her.

[He adds some curly hair to the figure.]

And now I remember that I have a saloon and an entire town to look after. What's gonna happen if Murderman invade and I'm not there to keep 'em out with the Force Galactic?
housenurse: (i will protect you from all around you)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
... What.

[what]
forcegalactic: (Trouble's comin')

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[........He didn't tell her yet.]

So my title. Universal. I was confused as to why I was called, remember? Turns out I have space powers that allow me to do practically anythin', and the Conductor took them away from me, must like he took Tabby's powers.
housenurse: (I know you)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-02 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
... Ah.

Alright.

... Gosh, imagine if we could get you your powers back, though! You could fix everything!
forcegalactic: (what the shit)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Everything? He doesn't recall ever doing anything remotely heroic. Just organizing things and healing.]

I hope so...I do remember bringin' my friend back to life.

[The woman in the drawing is looking better. Mordecai puts a lot of effort into detailing his wife's appearance.]
housenurse: (love to chop and to serve little fish)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-02 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
... Wow. And this friend, he's... all better?

[because zombies are a Thing.]
forcegalactic: (Trouble's comin')

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, my dream ended after we were all celebratin', and he looked fine...

[Oh no. Felton had better not become a zombie again.]

L-look, I-I think we better focus on other things. Like- [While Mordecai is no artist, the woman he's drawing does have some some of resemble to a real person, and he puts on the finishing touches of her clothes and draws something square on her arm.]
housenurse: (here's something for tempting the palate)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-02 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
-- Ah, she looks so pretty! What beautiful hair... [it's pretty unique, to her!]
forcegalactic: (dum dee dum)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-02 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, he can't help but be proud now. You just complimented the best person in the universe, Sukuyo. He finally reveals his rough pencil drawing of his wife, who is wearing some kind of box with buttons on her right arm.]

Oh, I ain't done yet. Once I add some color to this, then you'll see how amazin' she is!
housenurse: (once upon a dream)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-03 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
-- Wait! I have that! In my room!

[points at the machine]
forcegalactic: WM/IL looks like a Christmas sweater (Common sense activate!)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-03 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The what?

[He glances at the console he drew. That's impossible, he thinks, and chuckles. Because that can't be.]

Sukuyo, I am no artist. This here console I drew on her ain't completely accurate, besides-- [This building ran on ancient technology. The only computers would have to have come from the vending machine.

...It had to belong to someone else.
]

I'm sure one of us got their computer taken away and put in that machine.
housenurse: (les poissons les poissons)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-03 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I know what a computer looks like, Mordecai-san! And it doesn't look anything like one! It looks like what you drew!

... I'll just go get it! It's in my room. [RUNS OFF AT LIKE A FULL SPRINT]
forcegalactic: (Trouble's comin')

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-03 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[But...why would Harriet's console be here in the first place? The beer from his saloon makes perfect sense. You can buy that just about anywhere. The photo is likely fake (he's...certain), but that?

Harriet wasn't the one who was kidnapped.

When Sukuyo returns, Mordecai is still working on the drawing, now coloring it in with colored pencils.
]
housenurse: (I walked with you once)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-03 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[she rushes back, holding the console out to him, looking inordinately triumphant.]

Look!

[slams it down on the table]

See? I was right!
forcegalactic: (?!?!!!?!?!?!?!????)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-03 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
But-

[When he first sees her, he wants to point out that it could have belonged to any Troubleshooter, not just Harriet. There were plenty stationed near Mars, and the Conductor could have easily found one to take it from.

It's when he picks it up that he realizes it can only belong to one person. The stickers, the scratches, the size...he's seen it enough times to know who it belongs to.

He can barely raise his voice above a horrified whisper.
]

How did he get this...?!
housenurse: (and I know it's true)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-03 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... [significantly less enthusiastic about being right now.]

... Maybe she just... misplaced it! Just for a second! And then he was able to steal it! I'm sure that's all!
forcegalactic: (?!?!!!?!?!?!?!????)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-03 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't mind him, he's just internally making some high-pitched noises while holding it in his hands.

aaaaaaaaaaaah
]

No, Harriet ain't the kind to leave things around! She's always gotta be on call and can't let this out of her sight!

[He presses the power button. It doesn't turn on.]

She can't--why---

[Oh god, what did he do to Harriet?!]
housenurse: (first you pound the fish flat)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[she sighs, bites her lower lip a little... then, sits back down and puts her hand on his shoulder.]

Mordecai-san. You're gonna worry yourself sick over this. You need to calm down. She's okay.
forcegalactic: (Trouble's comin')

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-04 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No, she's...

[Was she hurt? Was she even alive?

No, stop thinking about that possibility.
]

H-he might be holdin' her prisoner. There might be scientists on Mars hurtin' everyone! [He holds the console to his chest.] Remember what he said the first day we were here? He asked why we thought there was anyone else still lookin' for us.
housenurse: (then you rub some salt in)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-06 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
He was just being cruel! If he'd done something to our families, he'd have said so, not just danced around it. It's not a lie, the way he told it.
forcegalactic: (angry)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-12-06 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He wants to believe that, he really does.]

...She always was a worry wart, my Harriet. Cruel twist for the Conductor to make me worry about her instead.

[He hadn't felt much anger towards their captor before, and now this is personal.]

She had better be alright when I find her, or else I may just have to use a bit of violence to make him pay for this.
housenurse: (upon a dream)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-12-06 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
You'd have to get in line!

But... When I asked, he said my family was fine. I bet yours is, too.
