Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[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.]

[serrata]

No, um... everyone else got something a little different. Asters for "remembrance". Edelweiss for "courage". Sweet peas for "fond goodbye".

[ The way she says it makes it sound recited. It's clear she's been going over those flowers in her head for a while. ]

And if I know what their favourites are... I plant those, too.

[everylittlesecret]

I was gonna add some, but you seem to have them covered. By the way, if I die, my favorite flowers are day lilies.

[You need a new hobby, Yuuri.]

[serrata]

[ She actually splutters. ]

You're not-- don't say 'if I die' so casually like that!

[ ]

[everylittlesecret]

.... I said die, not "if I get killed or executed"...

[Like that's any better.]

[serrata]

You're not going to die in here! You'd better not!

[ IT SERIOUSLY ISN'T ANY BETTER!!! ]

[everylittlesecret]

I don't plan on it!

[But shit happens.]

[serrata]

Well-- good! Because, quite frankly, I'm sick of losing friends! If you die then I-- we'll-- we'll be having some very strong words!

[ She sounds so mad. So mad. ]

[everylittlesecret]

You can't argue with dead-[She stops and stares.]...... we're friends?

[serrata]

... yes?!

[ She says so in the most incredulous "no shit, captain obvious" voice imaginable ]

What else would we be?

[everylittlesecret]

[Well...]

I... can never tell when someone is friends with me... until they tell me.

[serrata]

Well, then. I'll just have to say it again to drill the message in.

[ She looks Nari square in the eyes. ]

We're friends. You're a very, very dear friend of mine.

[everylittlesecret]

[INTERNAL SCREAM OF HAPPINESS

Sorry, Yuuri, she's trying not to cry right now.]

....... Y-You're dear to me, too.

[serrata]

[ She gives a shaky little laugh and reaches out her hands. ]

I'm-- I'm sorry. Was that a bit much? Please don't cry.

[ says the girl who was throwing a goddamn fit just a little while ago ]

[everylittlesecret]

[She shakes her head. taking Yuuri's hands and squeezing them.]

No! I just... am still not used to that word being used with me... so many people are calling me that now.

[serrata]

You'd better get used to it good and quick, then. We're not going to stop saying it.

[ until y'know they die, but ]

[everylittlesecret]

[Can she die from happy feelings?]

I'm glad. I've only ever had three actual friends before this place, not including my cat.

[serrata]

Well, if you count the rest of us, that's more than doubled the number, hasn't it?

[ nari you're too cute to have such a sad life. what are you, a school-live character. ]

[everylittlesecret]

[No, but her story is about on par with school-live sad.]

Almost triple. It's... kinda wild.

[serrata]

... you know. I just realized.

[ Yuuri makes a bit of a face. ]

It's the same for me, actually.

[everylittlesecret]

Really? Guess... we're both from worlds where it wasn't easy.
