Week 3

Week 3

[Two weeks in, and all at once four people are dead. Chitose, Miki, Lucina, and Tsurugi - whatever the circumstances, however any of you may feel, their rooms are just as empty at the end of the week. If you check your P.I.P.s, you'll find that their pictures on the profile page have gone monochrome.

C.E.C.E.'s morning announcement comes like clockwork on Sunday. This time, though, there's an addendum to her usual message:]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your first trial, you have unlocked the second floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.! To access the second floor please stand on the teleporter and select the floor you wish to be teleported to.

[In addition to the new floor, the Champions will find that they've gained another memory this week.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 3! Don't forget to check in and submit your memory regains! Turn in your benefactor threads for sweet loot, too! ))

...you're not gonna, like, sabotage it so you can laugh at me when I puke all over the floor are you?

[theundertaken]

That would be incredibly shitty. [like wow do you think he's that guy?]

[titularly]

Well...yeah.

[Look that's something one of the Matsus would do.]

Everyone was yelling at me yesterday so I kinda figure none of you guys really like me so.. I wouldn't have put it past you.

[theundertaken]

Jesus Christ, dude, I don't poison people I don't like. I don't even dislike you. Do you want some coffee or what?

[...okay he came here to be sympathetic but now he's kinda bristling at weird poisoned coffee accusations]

[titularly]

...yeah, okay.

[LOOK.... PRANKS CAN GO CRAZY MAN.]

Coffee sounds pretty good right now.

[theundertaken]

Okay, back in a sec.

[THAT'S NOT A PRANK THAT'S PROBABLY A FELONY

Anyway, he'll be back with a cup of black coffee and some creamers and sugar packets.]

I didn't know how you liked it, so...here.

[titularly]

Thanks.

[Osomatsu offers a small, albeit awkward looking smile as he takes the cup and the packets, and he moves over to his bed to take a seat, nodding towards Max to invite him in if he wanted.

And he just... puts it all in. All the sugar, all the creamer. All of it.]

Maaan, I don't usually drink coffee honestly... I'm more of a tea guy myself but in a place like this you kinda can't be picky, right?

[theundertaken]

[o-oh. god. that's way too much.]

No problem. [He'll come on in, then.] I'm a coffee drinker, but nothing super fancy. I think maybe they just put that stuff in there because Bolton's here? Like, there's two artists, and we got a whole art room right away.

[titularly]

Well if that's the case then they should put a pachinko room in here for me.

[Since his talent is just being a complete waste of space, apparently.]

Or a bar.

[theundertaken]

I guess Bolton, Jay, and I are just the most special.

[He makes as if to flip his hair, though it’s nowhere near long enough.]

[titularly]

What makes you guys so special?

[Osomatsu whines that at Max, even though that hair flip was certainly impressive.]

Just cause you're all handsome normies?

[theundertaken]

Ha!

[Max laughs aloud at this concept!]

I used to think you were one of the more normal people around here, yourself.

[titularly]

Well if you're comparing me to a zombie then I guess I'm pretty normal...

[...]


But you're not gonna say anything about me being handsome?

[theundertaken]

[He was actually gonna say something about you not being normal, but]

I thought that went without saying. [Max grins and winks.]

[titularly]

[OH]

.....are you flirting with me?

[theundertaken]

[.....why did he do that]

I...mean.........

[There's no good way to answer this, but of the potential outcomes, a prolonged flirtation with Osomatsu is probably the worst one. Oso not being into it and thinking that he was creepily hitting on him is also kinda up there.]

No?

[titularly]

[That was a good attempt at backtracking, but alas.. it was in vain.

Jokingly, Osomatsu bats his eyelashes at Max and pulls his hands close towards himself, posing like someone who was suddenly shy.]

You should've told me sooner, Max-kun....

[theundertaken]

......................o-kay.

[He thinks that was a joke but frankly he's been thrown off and now he has no idea how to respond to this. Quick, how does he recover?]

Have you had breakfast?

im using this icon bc i love it and i dont get the chance to leave me be

[titularly]

Seeing you is enough for me every morning~

[>Osomatsu will remember this.]

But seriously though, I haven't yet. Just this coffee.

[theundertaken]

You want some?

[IF HE IGNORES IT WILL IT GO AWAY]

[titularly]

Yeah, sure!

[GOOD LUCK]

[theundertaken]

Great, cool. I can bring it back here, or you can come upstairs if you want - there's a new room there with a real kitchen, and I didn't feel like carrying stuff all the way back to knock on everybody's doors with.

[He's going to assume from the normal response that it's over. He's probably wrong.]

[titularly]

I'll come up with 'ya and check it out.

[if you think a matsuno is going to let a joke go youre sadly mistaken]

It'll be our first date.

[theundertaken]

[oh god it isn't over. it's never over.]

Cheap date.

[titularly]

Well if you're gonna date a Matsuno, you're gonna have to get used to cheap dates.

[Osomatsu hops off his bed then, downs the coffee in one go, and heads towards the door.]

Let's go!
