Week 5
[As with the weeks before, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to something resembling normalcy with shocking efficiency. The second floor rest area and Adventure Zone Death Orb Room are spotless again, the demon glitter has been vacuumed, the deflated orbs have been replaced. It's like none of it ever happened, like three more friends aren't dead and stored away in the guest house morgue.
There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
[ooc: Don't forget to to turn in your activity for week 4, submit your memory regains and put in your threads for the Benefactors!]

What the fuck!!! ]
But... I don't understand. You were helping them! You were-- you were giving yourself to people so they could keep living! How could they just turn on you like that, like you were just-- some thing?!
no subject
What, that's all? No 'oh, Ardyn, you can't just end the world, revenge is simply terrible' or other pleas to what little humanity I might yet have remaining?

[ she's taking this remarkably well but when you've seen one apocalypse you've seen them all, apparently. more importantly: what the hell, Ardyn's kingdom ]
I can understand anger and wanting payback -- that's the most human thing in the world. But... you were helping people. If someone like you had turned up at our school, taking the infection away without asking anything in return I don't think we could've thanked him enough. Turning against you -- I can't understand that.

Perhaps they so feared the scourge that they were willing to condemn it in any form. Or maybe they were just that stupid and ungrateful that I seemed of no use to them anymore.
I've no real explanation myself. Even if I had one, it wouldn't matter.
no subject
... No. I suppose it wouldn't. It's not like you could've changed their minds.
[ She huffs out a short, angry breath. ]
Were you expecting us to do the same thing? Cast you out like a leper as soon as you told us?

[ 'passively' would be acceptable enough, apparently. ]
no subject
[The answer to that was almost invariably no.]
...I've nothing to gain out of going along with this game. Even if my current hypothesis is right and I might actually be able to die in a place like this, I've enough dignity left to refuse to allow that to be what kills me.
Killing any or all of you is, for now, inconvenient to me. The larger our numbers, the more resources available to us against our enemy.

[ if Yuuri Wakasa could fight a dead girl and an A.I., she would. ]
It's just like you said. The more of us there are, the better a fighting chance we've got. If we want to get out of here alive and make this all stop then we'd be idiots if we threw you out on your ear now.
... and besides. You're one of us now, whether any of us like it or not. Including you.

[ at least she's self aware. ]
But! I'd rather have poor taste in friends than no friends. Especially in a place like this. So you're just going to have to put up with me, I'm afraid. No take backs.

[...is. is he joking.]

I'll do my best. At the very least, I can promise I won't give you a friendship speech?
