week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Four weeks in the Starfield Penitentiary and seven people have lost their lives to Blaze Dudely's cruel game. At some point the robots cleaned up the mess left behind and by Sunday the involved rooms (including the fridge) are all clean and free of blood. In fact there's no sign left of any of the deaths that have happened on the ship so far by at least the next day. The only physical signs that people are gone are the empty beds.

On Sunday morning, you may find that you're recovering a a few other things as well - both strange dreams and some new items.

In addition, there's a new set of doors at the end of the corridor, in the space between the infirmary and the exercise yard. Looks like you've got a new wing to explore.]



Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( ooc: Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 3, submit your memory regains, and put in your benefactor threads! ))

[ Man, he's so out of it he hadn't even realized... oh, that kind of hurts. Noctis winces and lets out a faint hiss of pain, but he's not gonna stop her. ]

Yeah. ... Didn't even notice. Sorry.

[induality]

[Good, because she wasn't going to stop.]

...just... keep your hand still.

[What terrible thing did he remember now...? She doesn't even want to ask. Because she knows she won't know the right thing to say.]

[nightcure]

You got it.

[ He pauses. ]

You sure you're okay? With the blood.

[ yeah let's. not focus on memories. ]

[induality]

[Her face pales.]

Y-you don't have to remind me...

[But she quickly shakes it.]

I s-still don't like it but-- I can't let my fears control me forever...

[nightcure]

I believe in you.

[ And he does. Because by doing this, she's proving she's stronger than she likely thinks. ]

Guess I should probably put somethinfg on it.

[induality]

[Wha-- no one's ever told her they believe in her before. Not outside of her fantasies anyway. She flusters really quick.

Boy.

This is.

Yep. Okay. F-focus!!! She can help. Right, yes. She pulls a small tube out of her pocket.]

I-I received some antibiotic gel this morning. We can probably get some b-bandages from the infirmary...

[nightcure]

Glad you're prepared. And lucky us, having an infirmary.

[ He owes her. A lot. It's just, you know, something small but it means a lot to him. ]

... Thanks, Touko.

[induality]

I guess that's one way to look at it.

[Not like it would even matter if someone hadn't kidnapped them.]

Y-you don't have to thank me...

[No, really it feels weird. She's not used to people liking her. Komaru's one thing but-- she's kind of a weirdo like her brother.]

[nightcure]

Just because you think I don't have to doesn't mean I don't want to. [ He... even manages the tiniest smile. ] Even kings can be grateful.

[induality]

I-It's fine, I'm used to--

[People ignoring me. Is what she meant to say.

If she wasn't busy spitting.]


K-k-k-k....King?!

[Absolutely no one should be surprised if they'd properly read the profiles. But guess who's fucking "allergic" to machinery by her own choice? This girl.]

[nightcure]

[ honey

Noctis just. Blinks. ]

Yeah. You didn't read the profiles?

[induality]

[guess Leon is the only one she told...

ahaha...haaa...]

I'm... n-not very good with machines...

[she says like she actively Tries. which she doesn't.]

[nightcure]

Hey, it's alright. Can't be good at everything.

[ he's here to do machine stuff for u. ]

As long as you know how to do the important stuff.

[induality]

[bless u noct]

Wh-what exactly do you consider "the important stuff"?

[maybe she'll be useful in return!!]

[nightcure]

[ ... well. stuff at the trials for one, but he's not gonna bring that up. nope. ]

Stuff in the kitchen.

[ yeah, that's a safe one. ]

[induality]

[that's right, he liked food. she remembered him talking about recipes before...

she'll remember this.]

F-for now let's start with your hand.

[time for a field trip.]

[nightcure]

Sounds like a plan.

[ at least the infirmary is close!! ]

Sounds like you know some first aid stuff, anyway.

[induality]

[Know some stuff she does. Not that she always did.]

Where I come from you have to know a little if you want to survive...

[At least, the way Towa City is now...]

[nightcure]

Wow. You come from a seriously crappy place, Touko.

[ seriously bad. killing games? first aid knowledge being a necessity? ]

[induality]

We're trying to fix it. But...

[she's certain that in time they can do it, but--]

Y-you're not wrong.

[nightcure]

All the more reason we have to get you back there. So you can save your home.

[ he'll make sure she does. ]

[induality]

[once they get to the infirmary she can delay for a few moments, digging for bandages.]

...there are two people I need to get back to. I made a promise...

[nightcure]

[ hey, at least he's got medicine on his hands. he'll wait, patiently. ]

Promises are important. Can't have you breaking them, right?
