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!]

[Thursday...oh Thursday. Thursday, you are in for a treat. Jumpy might be invisible, Arbys might be the actual Jesus Lucian Christ, and Church? Church can and will be found everywhere and anywhere today--if he can stay still long enough for you to catch him.

Because Church has the need, the need for speed.

Oh yes, he's gotta go fast. In everything he does. He moves fast, eats fast, talks fast. Look at him go.

Nyoooooom.]

Dining hall

[misanthropicprinciple]

[While Church shovels that down, the apparently empty air beside him is gonna judge.]

Jesus Christ, Church, slow down. What're we gonna do if you choke, execute Queenie for murderously good cooking?

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Hey speaking of choking guess what else he's gonna do fast--hold on let him beat his chest holy shit Junpei don't fucking WHERE IS JUNPEI???]

What-the-fuck-what-the-fuck where-the-hell-are-you don't-fucking-scare-a-guy-when-he's-eating I-don't-wanna-die-in-such-a-boring-way!

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Junpei reappears laughing, because he's an asshole who doesn't care if he accidentally kills his best friend, apparently! Also because he knows if Church can talk then he can breathe.]

Seriously, where's the fire? At the rate Queenie's going, we won't run out of food any time in the next, I don't know, year.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[He taps his fork on the table not unlike a woodpecker waking you up at ass-oclock in the morning outside your bedroom window.] Psh-we'll-never-run-out-of-food not-so-long-as-people-watch-us and-who-wouldn't-wanna-watch-us~

[he downs half his coffee in one go, and maybe he doesn't fucking need coffee.] Seriously-the-fuck-is-with-the-invisibility-cloak-you-asshole what-the-fuck-have-you-done?

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Church definitely doesn't need coffee, but he's moving 2 fast 2 stop.]

Wow, why do you think I did something? I'm as innocent as the day I was born. Besides, it's obviously affecting more than one person. Have you, uh, not noticed?

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Must drink fast but coffee too slow!!!]

I-noticed-you're-all-slowpokes could-you-pick-up-the-pace I-just-gotta-do-things-today it's-really-weird. [The woodpecker tapping becomes him just idly spinning the fork...quickly...between his fingers.] We-have-to-teach-everyone-to-sing-Stand-By-Me by-the-way we-have-to-do-it we-just-gotta for-reasons!

[misanthropicprinciple]

Uh, okay. We can do that. In the meantime, you know what they say about when it seems like everyone's wrong but you? Just think about that for a second.

[Sees if he can maybe just... edge Church's coffee away from him.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Everything-is-so-slow! Oh-god-what-did-I-do??

Did-you-fucking-curse-me-with-a-shield-thing-again-you-jackass!!!

hallway

[scourgingstars]

[Ardyn was just minding his own business, floating casually out of the garden with a pigeon on his shoulder when a sudden blur passing by startled Luscinia enough to flap her wings in alarm, slapping her companion right in the face.]

Ow--what the hell was that?

[motherfucking_ghost]

[The person-sized blur is gone in an instant. ...And then it comes right back, and when Church is still, he's not still, he's tapping his foot impatiently or hopping up and down or--never still. Not ever. There is always motion.]

Hey-Ardyn-hey-what's-up what-the-fuck-are-you-doing are-you-cosplaying-Jesus did-Lucy-teach-you-to-fly do-you-have-many-pigeons-in-your-shirt how-are-you-doing-that-huh-huh-huh???

[scourgingstars]

[Stunned into silence, Ardyn just kind of...dropped back to the floor.]

Are you alright?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Sure-I'm-fine why-wouldn't-I-be-fine everyone-should-be-this-fine I'm-the-finest-motherfucker [he says while starting to do some jumping jacks because why not!!!] Why-what's-wrong-with-you why-are-you-so-slow?

[scourgingstars]

I think you will find one of us is moving at an entirely normal speed, Church.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Psh-normal-speed-sounds-boring you're-talking-too-slow everything's-too-bright were-you-seriously-floating c'mon-man-don't-hold-out-on-me!!!

[scourgingstars]

I take it you've been afflicted with something as well. You should see what Junpei's stuck with.

[ardyn you sack of shit was that a pun.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Is-it-the-him-being-invisible-thing cuz-I-see-what-you-did-there. I-mean-DIDN'T-see. [FINGERGUNS!!!] I-nearly-choked-to-death tell-your-son-not-to-scare-people!

Hallways

[serrata]

[ she's on her way back from the pool with her clothes when Church ptchoos past her and she's so startled, she nearly drops all her nice clean laundry. Good lord. ]

Wh-- hold on! Wait a second!

[ who on earth ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Laundry is for squares and people who also have actual clothes. He's down the hall but stops, and ptchoos back right at her, stopping just short of bowling her over. He's bouncing on the balls of his feet.]

Whatcha-need did-I-knock-something-over I-promise-I-was-being-careful well-careful-as-I-can-be whatever-it-is-I-didn't-do-it-this-time!

[serrata]

[ ... Ardyn didn't prepare her for this.

Yuuri just stares at him for a second. Opens her mouth. Closes it. Then: ]

So, um. Super speed, then...?

[ YOU KNOW. LIKE ANY OTHER THURSDAY. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

That's-what-everyone-keeps-saying so-I-guess-it-must-be-true it-makes-more-sense-than-everyone-else-being-really-slowly did-you-get-anything-or-is-today-just-boring-for-you cuz-it's-sure-not-fucking-boring-for-me.

[serrata]

[ She understood maybe five entire words of that, just enough to guess what he's asking and she shakes his head. ]

No, not this time -- I saw Ardyn-san before, though. And his brand new method of transport.

[ Do you know how startling it is to turn a corner and see Abrys Lucifer Skylight casually hovering six inches off the ground ]

It sounds like it's just you, Ardyn-san and Junpei so far... that makes sense. Oh, but Clarith-san had something too which is a little random.

[serrata]

... Do you feel like you could go fast enough for it?

[ YUURI DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS ]
