Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[Five weeks in, and suddenly your numbers have been reduced by a lot. All evidence of Oda's methodical slaughter has been wiped away by the robots, but getting rid of the memories isn't going to be so easy. Not to mention the emotional scars.

Again on Sunday morning, you'll find yourselves with some new memories and some new items. Today, however, there are no new rooms.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

Memorial Wall

[power_of_dominance]

[Almost every day since it went up, Soma has spent at least a few minutes contemplating the plates on the wall. Watching the names of fellow inmates appear is difficult, and the addition of six after Oda's execution is such a bitter pill to swallow. He sees Pyrrha putting up six more and his heart sinks, certain that five of them are the reasons Oda slaughtered so many of their own.

He hasn't seen the redheaded girl since therapy on Tuesday. He kept his head down. Hopefully she didn't see beneath the makeshift headband he'd worn low on his brow, shadowing his eyes. He still has it on now, and he can use the same excuse he used at therapy provided no one calls him out: light sensitivity from a migraine.

He has two plates in his hands. Carefully he hangs them off to one side, out of the way, his own private memorial for two women he knows without having ever met them.

He bows his head, silently shaping a prayer for their souls in his thoughts.]

I'm tired of all this death, Pyrrha. And Friday's coming again.

[Pyrrha hasn't talked to Soma that often. As a matter of fact, she doesn't know all that much about him to begin with. Their social circles never seemed to really interact but that didn't mean she thought any less of him.

She sees him coming and stands aside for him to put up those plates with the rest. She's respectful, and would even throw in a quick prayer herself.]

...I'm tired of it too. It's just gotten worse with time.

Do you think we're finally down to the ones who won't act? There's no motivation to kill this week, except for the outstanding exit clause. But it's been hopeless so far, we've gotten every culprit. Maybe we've finally learned not to resist.

[That last part sounds so bitter, it's not like him at all. He shudders, shaking his head, and he's back to simply sad.]

Sorry, I... I just have too much on my mind. I shouldn't take it out on anyone else, it's my burden to carry.

[One he never asked to bear, but life has never been very fair to anyone, has it?]
