week 2

[airlockedmods]

[With the sudden pirate takeover and the sudden, tragic deaths of the crew, the second week of the Starfield Penitentiary rehabilitation project is off to a rough start. After Price's call for parlay with the pirate captain, he was not seen for the remainder of Saturday but around 10 pm it is his calm but tense voice that makes the time announcement.

Buckle in, Champions, things are about to get bumpy.]

I know it's impossible for someone to predict something like this. ...But if anyone could, it would be Dazai. His predictions are outside the realm of normal people like me.

[induality]

I... see.

[He sounds incredible. In a very different way from the one she knows. She shakes her head.]

My classmates and I s-survived something like this before. Knowing what's coming... there's n-no reason we can't do it again.

[But with how many deaths this time.....]

[tenimuho]

I'll do my best to survive and to help everyone else survive. ...It's just worrying.

[More so than if Dazai had said nothing then.]

[induality]

Y-you should also remember that a lot of us were concerned about missing memories. It's possible that he was talking about something entirely different.

[Honestly, even she forgot for a few hours with everything happening so much.]

E-either way... I hope you do.

[Survive that is.]

[tenimuho]

[He acknowledges the first part with a nod - it's possible that whatever he was concerned about already happened.]

...I hope you do too. You've already been through enough.

[induality]

[She... doesn't have high hopes, honestly. The odds of being a survivor once were already so small. Twice would be near a miracle... still...]

W-well I got lucky once... a-at least I'm not stupid enough to try and kill someone.

[Not after what she's seen.]

[tenimuho]

Nothing good can come from killing for someone else's amusement.

[Money or revenge, he understands, but this is just so someone can get his kicks.]

[induality]

I-It's not like they won't offer people something to do it. That's what started everything last time. U-unless they decide we don't need it.

[If things devolve into hell that fast... lord help them.]

[tenimuho]

...Even if they give people incentives to act, it's ultimately to keep that guy happy. We're like puppets.

[induality]

Th-that's right. Because ultimately you're g-going to get caught and I highly doubt their form of "execution" will be any kinder...

[Just thinking about what she might have to see... she's already dreading it.]

[tenimuho]

[Execution rarely is anything like 'kind.]

...There's a stuffed bear in my room. Black on one side, white on the other side. Is that the one you were talking about?

[induality]

[Her face goes a bit whiter.]

...with a sharp, red eye on it's left side?

[tenimuho]

Yes. That exactly. But it's not a robot.

[Too squishy and soft, and much more immobile.]

[induality]

[Fukawa nods sharply.]

Monobear... that's the thing that killed my classmates...

[Leon included.]

[tenimuho]

[It's as he thought.]

...I don't know what to do with the stuffed version. Throw it in a trash can?

[induality]

I'd like to take it and shove it in that trashy cyborg's face and demand and explanation. If he knows something about that incident or is tied to that person in any way, I want to try and get answers from him.

[She shakes her head.]

O-once I've done that I don't care what you do with it. Burn it, d-dissect it...

[They can make a party out of it.]

[tenimuho]

[He nods - that's a reasonable response - and gets to his feet.]

I left it in my room. I'll get it for you now.

[induality]

I-I'll go with you.

[It's more comforting not being alone especially now that rule 7 has been forcibly put in place.]

[tenimuho]

Alright. Leon might be in, is that okay?

[He's not sure if they're getting along or... what.]

[induality]

Th-that's fine.

[She doesn't trust him completely, but she understands the position he was put in, hate it though she might.]

We're not that close, but...

[That doesn't mean she wants to see the same thing happen to him again.]

[tenimuho]

...I'm glad you're looking out for your classmate. I think he appreciates it too.

[He turns to start towards his cell.]

[induality]

If he remembers what happened in that school, moving forward will become a lot more difficult for him. H-he may very well s-snap.

[She does fear what could happen, honestly.]

I... don't know what I can do for him, but I'm going to keep my eye on him.

[tenimuho]

Seeing yourself die isn't very good for your mental health.

[Source: someone who sees himself die on the regular.]

I don't know either, but I'll do my best to comfort him if things get worse.

[induality]

[Though warranted, she knows her screeching about what should be and what was wasn't helping him.]

H-he should be grateful for all the help he's getting. I don't know what good it will do but... I-I hope he doesn't waste it.

[tenimuho]

...I hope so too. For whatever our help is worth.
