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

It's fine.

[ meaning he won't vent about it.

...much. ]

I just...dreamt that I almost died. That's...probably the most stressful part of it all.

[ebonyknight]

I assume you don't often put yourself in such situations?

[She's a warrior. She's had many close calls, after all.]

[chides]

I mean...it happens. But I'd never come that close before. And--I almost thought I did, at one point.

[ he's not going to go into detail--gotta rank up a little more for that to happen, apollo! ]

[ebonyknight]

[It okay. It okay.]

Everyone has to earn their scars.

[chides]

[ he looks down at his arm.

the bandages, at this point, are off.

there is a giant scar running along his arm, from his hand up to his elbow. ]

...Yeah. I...guess I really did earn this one.

[ebonyknight]

[... Oh. Oh. Right. She has to. Actually look at people sometimes.]

Indeed. Looks like you're lucky to have your arm.

[chides]

[ NO WORRIES. coco also has to remember that Important Things Happen, apparently ]

No kidding.

[ he holds onto it--it still stings a little, but it's gotten better over the weeks he'd been here--and he sighs. ]

I'm...guessing this is something you've had to deal with every day.

[ebonyknight]

[No awkward phrasing here, nope.]

It wasn't always that way. Even I had to start somewhere.

[chides]

[ he looks downward. ]

Yeah. There was only one other time before this when I thought I was...really gonna hit the bucket.

[ebonyknight]

[Well.]

If you won't laugh, I will tell you my first.

[chides]

...Only if you want to.

[ he gets that it might be hard to talk about but? is it supposed to be funny... what ]

[ebonyknight]

[Kind of.]

I fell off a fishing boat when I was child. Nearly drowned.

[... kind of? There's more to it but she doesn't remember it. Guardian deity saved her, blah blah blah.]

[chides]

Why would I laugh at that?

[ a raise of the eyebrow. ]

If that happened to me as a kid, I'd be horrified.

[ebonyknight]

[Dislikes: the ocean.]

Most would think that follies that happen to the proud are amusing.

[Actually.]

I barely remember the event. The old man didn't spoke of it once I was on the shore.

[chides]

I mean, yeah, maybe if you were a huge jerk or something I'd find it funny. But you're not--well. Not to me, at least.

[ TO OTHERS...maybe she is but. ahem. ]

[ebonyknight]

Unlike certain people you haven't deserved it.

[CT. Erika.]

[chides]

I guess? But the arguing in the courtroom... It's unnecessary.

[ he sighs. it gives him a headache, honestly. ]

[ebonyknight]

An argument is an argument. It doesn't matter where it happens.

[She wanna fite.]

[chides]

It detracts from the trial. It's distracting. You can just ignore whoever's provoking you.

[ebonyknight]

I will try to keep a level head next time.

[chides]

That'd be appreciated. [ he wasn't expecting that ] After we're done you're free to argue all you want.

[ebonyknight]

Some of them are just as argumentative as I. They'll have to play nice as well. [How about that.]

[chides]

I know. I'll talk to them about it, too.

[ebonyknight]

Good.
