Week 6

[airlockedmods]

[Six weeks later, and fifteen people are dead. All of you have lost someone important, from friends to family to lovers. Yet there is still hope. Most of you banded together to protect your own yesterday, and with an entirely unexpected act of mercy from Blaze Dudely, it seems like the winds may finally be starting to blow in your favor. It even feels a bit warmer in the penitentiary this week, though tension still hangs heavy in the air.

On Sunday morning, the last of your memories will return to you. There is nothing for you now but - maybe, somehow - to find a way out of here.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday

(( Welcome to endgame, everyone! As you can see, this week will ICly be shorter, with endgame beginning for your characters on Wednesday, but rest assured, the final investigation/trial will still be on Friday and Saturday as usual. Keep an eye out for an OOC endgame post on Tuesday.

There will be no official AC this week, just a check-in, and all characters will now be at their true canon points. Also, Monday is your last chance for regains! Get those benefactor threads in! ))

[Pyrrha's trying to look after everyone today, and that means looking for the one guy no one seems to like. Luckily, he's in a place she likes to go.

She actually approaches him before her workout, pausing before she speaks because.... what can she say?]

Good... morning, Rick?

[rickdiculous]

What.

[He's not stopping what he's doing.]

[tokencanadian]

[That's fine. Feel the burn, Rick.]

I just wanted to check up on you, see how you're doing?

[She explains it so casually. It's the kind of tone she puts on for people she deals with professionally.]

[rickdiculous]

How the fuck do you think I-I'm doing?

[tokencanadian]

...I get the feeling that you don't like any of us, to be perfectly honest.

[rickdiculous]

I don't.

[tokencanadian]

Listen, Rick. I know that you're angry that Akande died, and... I sorry you feel that way. [Because she can distance her own feelings. For a little bit.]

But I just think that we should try and keep together. It's important now.

[rickdiculous]

You ever wonder why the potberry plant was - was with all the other shit.

During the last trial, I mean. Why do you think it was there.

[tokencanadian]

[Pyrrha wonders about a lot of things from the last trial, to be perfectly honest. This though, it catches her.]

I... Well, I assume it was being used. The berries are apparently very efficient as drugs.

[So she's heard. Athletes dont do drugs.]

[rickdiculous]

See. That's the initial thought, right? Of course he's a fuckin druggie. The guy planned on killing you all while high as a fuckin - fuckin kite, right?

[Rick stands, finally. Just kind of walking as he talks, not really looking at her.]

No, of course not. The guy was...he was real methodical. He'd tried it before, I saw the way they affected him. He'd be stone cold sober if he was carrying out murder. I think the - the idea of that was enough of a high for...for him.

So, what the fuck was it doing there? I remembered begging him trying to find out - find out where he got it. That's when it hit me.

[Thats when he turns to her, drool running down his lip.]

He was planning on mixing it into my bomb.

[tokencanadian]

Well... No? [Honestly, she didn't think Akande was going to be high while he killed them, that just didn't seem to be his style. He was more of the cold, ruthless type, rather then the drug high type.

But then it hits her, as she follows Rick, looking at him even if he doesn't look back. It hits her when he stops, and suddenly she's shocked.]

He was-wait, the bomb... it was yours?

[rickdiculous]

I'm...look. I - I think he wanted me to be high before I died, y'know?

Cute.

[tokencanadian]

[Mmm. That's... rough, to say the least.]

I suppose... it was his way of saying he cared about you.

[rickdiculous]

Yeah. He gave two shits about me.

That's two more shits than I'd give any of you cumdumps. I gave two shits about A-Akande. I gave one shit about Oda. The rest of you can f-fuck off and die.

[tokencanadian]

Is that so? [She rolls her eyes at his words.]

Well, I just wanted to let you know that, in the case that we can all escape from this, you're perfectly welcome to come along. But seeing how you're currently acting, I'm sure you've probably already made up your mind.

[rickdiculous]

[Rick completely ignores that last statement and, eyes ablaze, just goes straight for the jugular:]

Don't roll your fucking eyes at me.

[tokencanadian]

[There's a lot Pyrrha could do right here. She could roll her eyes again, she could just leave Rick to his own devices as he probably wanted.

Instead, she does something she's good at... acting mature.]

I'm sorry, Rick. I'm sorry that Akande did something like that, and that Leon had to die to stop it. And I know exactly how you're feeling right now, but getting angry at others is not going to solve the issue.

[rickdiculous]

You're going to talk to me like I'm a fucking child. You...all of you want to - want to be all...kumbaya with each other and your feelings or - or whatever but when I open up to you for half a shitting second, you roll your eyes and t-talk down to me?

I think I have every goddamn right t-to get pissed at you!

[tokencanadian]

You called us cumdumps just a few seconds ago. You just told me to fuck off and die.

Is that opening up to us?

[rickdiculous]

Yes!

[tokencanadian]

[she opens her mouth.

...And closes it. And opens it again.]

...Is there anything else you want to add, then?

[rickdiculous]

When I get out of here and beat that Flavortown Fuckboy into fucking submission, I'm not taking any of you with me.

[tokencanadian]

Well if he's still as strong as he was when he fought with Akande, I hope that you'll be prepared for that.

[Also there's probably going to be a line to fight him, including her? Might have to wait your turn.]

[rickdiculous]

Yeah, I fucking will be.

[tokencanadian]

Good. I want everyone to be prepared in case of another fight.
