Week 4

[The Champions have had their first deliberate murders this week, and just like that, Prompto and Lunafreya are gone. Slaine followed them shortly after, however most people may feel about that.

This time, C.E.C.E.'s addition to the morning announcement probably doesn't come as much of a surprise:]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your second trial, you have unlocked the third 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 4! Don't forget to check in and submit your memory regains! Turn in your benefactor threads for sweet loot, too! ))

No! No, s' s' just-

[Okay Zombina appreciates the undertones since awww he does care but right now noooope.]

-'s just nature. Stuff.... 's outta my control. Ain't... Ain't no one but the Overseers fault.

[It's hard to tell with the mask on, but she's probably eyeing the nearest exit right now.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Well if ya ain't given him a name, I'm naming him!

[Zombina peers contemplatively at the lizard.]

Ya look like.... a Zombina Junior ta me~!

[Zombina cackles at her own idea of humor.]

Yeah, 's not a good place ta hafta feed a pet in.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Kaiba. She had no idea you were so pure and innocent!]

Nooormally I'd call that bullshit, but mummies in my world tend ta have been Egyptian royalty in life sooooooo I ain't got room ta doubt ya.

[She's just accepting all this tbh. Waaaay easier that way. Zombina snorts and giggles at the joke.]

Probably~! Heh, I didn't know they had heavy belt aesthetics and hair dye back in ancient Egypt. The more ya know!

Diner

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[The masked and heavily bandaged Zombina was not expecting all that when she was trying to sneak into the Diner after grabbing some plates of food from the Cafeteria at breakfast. Still, she sure as hell wasn't going to miss out on stakes and shakes, so she was going to grab and go back to her room.

Looks like fates giving her the middle finger today as she walks in on the crime scene Osomatsu set up.

She should really grab the food and go.

But shenanigans.

But the food and....

Fuuuuuck it, shenanigans always win!]

Well, well detective. What's the.... evidence we got right now? Any clues?

[playthedamncard]

Are you-- [He quickly mentally recaps some of the stuff she'd explained to him about zombiology 101.] Are you living up to your title? [aka are you rotting but maybe let's not use that word around food]

[playthedamncard]

...No. If you insist I give it a name, it's going to have to be Ibris.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Zombina freezes.]

.............................................................................................

[.....She trusts him so... it's slowly mumbled and only just barely audible.]

Yeah.... 'S... 's been three weeks as of Sunday.

[Congrats on being the first to figure it out Kaiba.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Eh, that works too! Nice ta meetcha' then Ibris-kun!

[Zombina grins down at the lizard.]

Fancy name by the way. It mean anything?

[playthedamncard]

I don't think Yuugi went for that sort of thing before he completed the Puzzle, but...I didn't know him well then. [Spoilers: all the kinky gear is Yuugi's idea and Yami thinks his partner has shit taste.]

So there are mummies as well in your world? Let me guess, vampires and werewolves, ghosts and ghouls?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Well I'm sure ya can ask him once we get outta here. Maybe we can make a bet on who's idea it was or something.

[They've got money to burn.]

Yup, Yup, Maybe, and Yup. We gotta loooootta liminal species. Like, I probably don't even know half of 'em!

[le_mat]

Alright. Let's do this.

[he stands as well, and stretches like a cat. In the day to day he's always slouched and almost lazy looking. But bit by bit his posture corrects, his body sliding from soft to coiled readiness.

He smirks, and gives her a little "bring it" gesture ]

[in4apounding]

Iiiiit's a sickness that's not really contagious, and means you can't feel pain anymore, so it's easy to get hurt and that's why you're all stitched up?

[in4apounding]

...Okay.

[Zombina you are doing her a concern.]

You wouldn't lie to me, right? Because we're sisters. You said.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

I.........

[...........FUCK. WHY IS SHE SO WEAK.]

.......Okay. Ya got me. I... ain't doin' so well.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yup, yup, doing great! Anything else?

[le_mat]

[he slides in]

I'm sorry 'bout being so pushy.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

It's.... it's fine. Ya ain't the only one who's figured out somethin's up with me.

[Zombina firmly closes the door and leans against it crossing her arms.]

So.... How much do ya know 'bout the process of decomposition? Ya know. rottin' and stuff.

[quadjumps]

...Karamatsu.

[ yuri's just...sitting there. on his phone. he doesn't look up, but doesn't kick karamatsu out, either.

upon closer inspection, karamatsu can see what appears to be a selfie of yuri and prompto. ]

[le_mat]

[he hisses I'm a sharp breath, face going pale.]

Not... Not a lot. I know temperature and bacteria affect how fast it happens...

[quadjumps]

[ yuri nearly misses thomas while he's on the way out, but is startled by sudden movement at the corner of his eye. he looks up, sees thomas, frowns...and then holds up what appears to be a piece of paper. ]

From Slaine.

[ will you take it? ]

[playthedamncard]

[It waggles a weird grippy hand-leg at her.]

Something along the lines of the devil. [He thinks it's funny.]

YARD SARD

[lovecolored]

[ Marisa wanders by in her sparkly Halloween dress, intending to just say sup, but then oho, what's this? A pile of items free for pilfering...still...Penny's right there, she'd feel a little bad if she got frowned at for taking uh, everything. She'll just take a few things and come back later for some more, is what she's thinking, but then she spies one item in particular. ]

...hey! Ya found my broomstick!

[ hefting it up into the air like it's a long-lost friend....marisa please.... ]

[quadjumps]

[ he knew she'd show up. he takes a breather before skating up to her, looking down at her bandaged hands, and then back to her toothy grin. he sees the tears, and it's taking a lot for him to hold himself together but he's trying his damned best. ]

It's...all because of him.

[playthedamncard]

[He's a bright boy.] ...There's nothing any of us can do, unless something for you shows up in a dumbwaiter, is there.

[quadjumps]

...Thanks.

[ he skates up to akira, then steps off of the ice, walking a few steps past... ]

Thought I should get it out of the way before I can't anymore.

[ what a morbid thought... ]
