week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

[He clears his throat and collects himself.]

Jesus. There was probably a less suggestive way to put that.

[Nari, no.]

But yeah, your secret's safe with me.

[everylittlesecret]

No, there really wasn't.... I'm pretty sure he's holding back with me on a lot of things just out of courtesy and the fact I can easily kill him in a number of different ways.

[Fun fact: They became friends because she described good ways to kill people with minimal effort.]

Thanks... I know I told him I'd learn to fight properly from him, but right now... I don't even want to leave my room.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Yeah. I understand that.

[He holds his silence a moment longer, then lets his chin drop a bit.]

I understand that, but--damn, I'm gonna sound like the biggest hypocrite in the world. [He sighs.] It's not... it doesn't help. To hole yourself up. Generally.

[everylittlesecret]

... I don't trust myself. Not right now. I could be triggered by the dumbest thing..... And I don't want to accidentally hurt someone. It's not safe. Not for anyone... So till I know I'm safe here, other than the murder each week, I'm not leaving.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He rubs his arm uncertainly.]

...You still let me in.

[everylittlesecret]

Because I trust you. And it helps that I could kill you literally with every object in this room.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[SIGH.]

Okay, uncalled for. You all don't have to rub my relative suckiness in all the time.

[everylittlesecret]

I'm just being honest. If you wanna learn how to keep from being killed, you learn how to. That's...... My mom told me that. I didn't remember it till this memory.

[misanthropicprinciple]

We all... have different ways of keeping from getting killed.

[everylittlesecret]

True. The first thing I do when I go into a room now is to figure out if I can escape, or what I can use to fight with.

[misanthropicprinciple]

What might be a trap. What might be connected to something else. Where someone could hide a keyhole.

[everylittlesecret]

Yes. Or if there's a window to throw someone out of.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I've never been lucky enough to have too many of those.

[everylittlesecret]

And here we don't want to take advantage of them.
