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

Sir Heart--

[wait

What the fuck]

Who are you?!

[myocordial]

It's only me, Arianna. And I do mean only me.

[The second Heart is still mimicking everything the other is doing, which in this case is turning to look at Arianna, of course.]

Not that I blame you for being surprised.

[daughterofthemark]

[Well at least now she knows which one is the real Heart.]

This is another sabotage? Like last week?

[myocordial]

I assume so, yes. Well, it's not much of a sabotage. I activated this myself. It was a little shocking the first time.

[A little.]

[daughterofthemark]

You've been given the skills of a ninja!

[????????????????????]

[myocordial]

...

[...]

...Pardon?

[daughterofthemark]

They are warriors from the far east who hide in the shadows.

[myocordial]

Ah, no, that's... I'm familiar with the concept of a ninja, I assure you.

[daughterofthemark]

Ah. You seemed confused, so...

[myocordial]

Well, ninjas would just... not exactly be my first thought in this situation. It's not really anything like that, is it...

NOTIFS o9

[daughterofthemark]

I always thought of self-duplication as their signature skill.

[myocordial]

Is it really? I thought the stealth aspect was much more important.

[Heart that's just because you don't keep up with ninjas in other media.]

I don't think I would make a very good ninja.

[daughterofthemark]

I'm sure you would if you put your mind to it. But I suppose it matters not. You are simply yourself.

[myocordial]

My form isn't exactly suited to anything ninja-like. Hm, I'll just stick to what I know.

I prefer more... direct confrontations.

[daughterofthemark]

More like a protector or a landsknecht, then. ...or a sovereign, I suppose.

[myocordial]

Something like that, I suppose. Not that I'm really familiar with the types of warriors in your world.

...Is that how a sovereign handles things?

[Because that's interesting.]

[daughterofthemark]

We are usually expected to avoid fights altogether, but yes. It would be rather difficult to issue orders silently in battle, after all.

[myocordial]

That does make sense. So then... do you usually do what is expected and avoid fights?

[daughterofthemark]

...I am not certain of "usually" anymore. I did in the past, but after Ginnungagap and Yggdrasil, I believe I need to be more active in general.

[myocordial]

...Hm. It's important to step up when the situation calls for it. That's what a leader is for, after all. I imagine that's what it should be like for a sovereign.
