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



[ooc: Don't forget to to turn in your activity for week 6, submit your memory regains and put in your threads for the Benefactors!]

[There's a squeak as she dodges it. Damn, even with a marker, Nishitani is good at this. Nari sighs to herself before standing.]

Thank you for not using a knife.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Lil bit more intimate, huh~? [stop preening]

It shouldn't be hard for everyone to put it together. We all saw you last time. You're a lot warmer now. In every way.

[scourgingstars]

...

[Ardyn immediately fell silent, staring at Queenie like he wasn't even sure what to think. Would it really be that simple? He'd forget the Accursed, forget the rampaging hatred of the scourge coursing through him...his exile, Niflheim, Lunafreya, Noctis, Izunia-]

...no. [He shook his head slightly; yellow eyes sharply determined as his voice turned to conviction.] I have no right to run away from this; that would be an act of the coward you called me back at that party. And I am not a coward, now or ever.

Even if it destroys me once we leave this place, that is my choice to make and my end to reach after a life far too long for my preference. This price is a fair one for my humanity after all the pain that I caused, and I will accept it.

[misanthropicprinciple]

What's it look like?

[scourgingstars]

...That's a nice change of pace, as well. Even if the result is you clinging to me like a persistent status ailment.

[daughterofthemark]

[And she thinks he's laughing at the silliness of the idea that this is their important reason to escape. She applies the new strip to his leg without incident.]

...is it? I was unaware.

[everylittlesecret]

[YOU'RE KILLING HER SHE'LL NEVER STOP LAUGHING NOW]

[everylittlesecret]

I guess so... and it's all made from scratch. Yes, I know how to make my own chocolate, and they gave the ingredients here for it. Enjoy.

[scourgingstars]

The emblem of the group at large features swords and Bahamut, which I must say I do not particularly care for.

[look at him go, that was only mostly bitter instead of enraged and spiteful.]

But the individual uniforms--one moment, I think I can recall it well enough. [he took a blank sheet of paper from an inside pocket of his vest, unfolding it and starting to draw something out.]

Swords are the general symbolism regardless, as you might expect from the name 'Kingsglaive.' The uniform itself is black, a military jacket over a simple shirt if I'm not mistaken. This emblem is what one would find printed on the back of those jackets.

[everylittlesecret]

.... yeah. I do. I haven't seen him in person in years.

[Isn't it strange she doesn't seem to miss her mother?]

[everylittlesecret]

[....................................................]

I see... But... you have a base form of another of your kind, which... that's a legit body, right? I doubt they would have been able to 3D print a body of your kind like they did with Church. If they could, there would be a lot more around?

[daughterofthemark]

[She's enjoying. She's enjoying greatly.]

Still, I cannot believe him.

[everylittlesecret]

Of course the cute one gets the cute tape. [Okay.... and done! She steps back and looks it all over.] Now you can't get away.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...I don't know. I... maybe.

[He doesn't want to say it, but how would a handful of high school girls have access to the cure for the zombie plague? But he thinks of something and his own eyes blink wider as well.]

Or it sounds like--there are preventative medicines for some diseases where, if you get them in time, the person who was exposed won't contract it. Like... like an antivirus. Something you can't use once the infection really sets in, but kills it before it can do any damage. Could it be like that?

[daughterofthemark]

["So tell me about your mother."]

When we escape from here, you should visit him.

[everylittlesecret]

.... I dunno. We've got people with some wicked sweet tooth's here.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I don't cling. [He clings.] I just like warm things. I liked you just fine when you were chilly, too.

[scourgingstars]

You absolutely cling, inescapably.

[admit it, church]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Enough to get mad at you? About the part where you told us not to blame ourselves.

[So, like. Three paragraphs in. Junpei has a fairly low anger point.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Nope, not clingy. I just...cuddle up. When I sleep. That's all.

[Hey you know what how about instead of having this conversation he'll grab Lucy-bird's attention.] Let's show him how well I can pick up what he puts down, my lady. Turn it up. [Yes apparently that's the best way to not have any conversation about whether or not he clings you stupid fuck.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Really? This is kind of exactly the kind of end I'd expect for you.

[Starts lovingly taping a plaid smiley face onto Church's torso.]

Whose idea was this, anyway? Just in case we gotta go to trial for your tapey death. Or would we all be held responsible?

[everylittlesecret]

That he has the gall to make us cupcakes, and then taint it with a motive? I can believe it.

[scourgingstars]

One of these days you may have to learn not to challenge me.

[He tightened his hold on Church as Luscinia happily picked up the tempo, starting to move more quickly in response. One-two-three, better keep up or you'll trip.]

[everylittlesecret]

["My mom might be a professional killer who has always hated me."]

Yeah... he'd like that. Make it a surprise visit.

[goteachother]

And what will that do to Leonard? To Junpei? To all the people here that care about you?

There you go acting like your action don't impact anyone but yourself again. If you go and die after all of this? It'll destroy them. What makes you think leaving here is the end? Shouldn't that be your new beginning?
