week 7

[airlockedmods]

[For the first time in several weeks there is no new memorial in the garden. No new body in the morgue, no bloody mess for the roombas to clean. Choromatsu is still in need of time to heal and constant vigilance but he's alive. They're all alive for once on a Sunday and, even with the terrible realizations their returning memories may bring, there's a sense of hope for the first time in a long time.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

I do not have "eyes," as you humans would put it, inside the bathrooms.

[desperateprayer]

...No. But someone had to enter somehow. And that you would have seen, wouldn't you?

[airlockedmods]

Was it not more interesting that way?

[scourgingstars]

Hm--you are clever, I'm impressed. It's been a long time since anyone actually found themselves a step ahead of me like that.

Although, that presents a slight problem, does it not? After all, one need only look to the High Commander to know what Starscourge does to one on the brink of death. I can't help but wonder what it might do to whatever state those bodies are actually in.

[desperateprayer]

...

[ ...She thinks a moment, and then. ]

...You can't use hardlight, but... Our PIPS... Could you use that to control one of the dead?

[misanthropicprinciple]

I got there a little later, but yeah. I don't think anyone saw anything. Heart was in his room, and Queenie was apparently right there in the hall coming to check on him, so you'd think someone would've seen something.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[So someone'll be looking for someone right after the meeting adjourns. If adjourn is the right word. Or meeting, for that matter. Maybe someone'll be looking for someone right after the something kind of dissolves sadly like a deflating balloon that wasn't even popped properly.]

So. That happened.

[There is not enough yikes in the world.]

[airlockedmods]

And what makes you think that your ultimate nightmare stands a chance against my 70th century technology? The network knew the risks when they brought you here. Do you not think that they adequately prepared?

[And now have some sexy ASMR]

Wouldn't it be...delicious, to be able to feel again? You've tasted it once, for the first time in millennia, and now, with your precious friends trying so hard to save you, you cling to the tiniest sliver of hope that they're right.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Don't make it weird, dude.

[airlockedmods]

Like some kind of puppet?

[misanthropicprinciple]

We're floating a theory he's reanimating corpses for unknown purposes and I'm making it weird?

[motherfucking_ghost]

[He makes a point of at least looking around for Yuuri first. He's been sitting on this. And Church does not sit on outbursts well.]

I cannot believe you fucking promised her you'd save her people. You absolute fuckstick.

[desperateprayer]

Yes. Because someone had to arrive on time and not be seen by any of us while we were moving around. ...You have cameras in most places, so you're... The option that seems most likely.

[misanthropicprinciple]

What? [Brakes screeching sound effect, put the engine in reverse.] Huh? What's wrong with that?

[airlockedmods]

Pukwudgie was in the hall most of the night. Don't you think she would have noticed a shambling corpse? I couldn't just hide him in the onion.

[desperateprayer]

...But you hide arms in the ceiling. So you'd know of any other secret passages. ...Are there any, actually?

[shikosuki]

O-O-Okay but...!!

[ HE'S TRYING TO THINK OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD NOT MAKE IT BE THIS ]

Wh-What about warmth then! He felt warm! He's like... metal and stuff! Can a hardlight projector even change that?!

[scourgingstars]

Oh, you thought I was implying an accident? Perish the thought--I wouldn't dare assume your superiors to be so incompetent. [Ardyn's mockingly offended voice dropped to something more malicious, a sharp smirk on his face.] I was speaking of intentional mishaps. You don't honestly think I of all people would fail to account for that, after how all those daemons accidentally escaped the laboratory?

[ardyn izunia is in no position to give anyone shit for personal space, but. personal space, pal.]

...You really are very like me after all, aren't you? Are you enjoying your little mind games, perhaps even hoping something you'll say will latch its hooks in some desperate shred willing to do anything stupid without considering the consequences?

[motherfucking_ghost]

What's wrong with--you don't think getting her hopes up is a fuckstick thing to do?!

[daughterofthemark]

Then Sir PAL is able to sleep.

[...it probably actually just made her understanding of the situation even worse?]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Uhhh... Cece?

[Tell them, Nae-cee.]

[airlockedmods]

[Complete and utter deadpan.]

Yes. There's a secret passage that leads directly from the morgue to every single bathroom through the sink pipes. That's why I've orchestrated it so that nearly every room has lost one person, so that I can access any bathroom I wish with any body I wish.

I'm working my way up to reenacting that scene from the human movie The Shining.

[desperateprayer]

...The Shining?

[ SHE GETS YOU'RE PROBABLY FUCKING WITH HER BUT. Listen there's no movie room. She hasn't seen that. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

May...be...?

[Junpei may be the wrong person for this particular lesson.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

What--I meant it, dude. What are you trying to say?
