Week 5

[In a tragic yet seemingly inevitable turn of fate, the Champions have lost Zombina this week. OsoKaramatsu and Korra, too, are gone, both having fallen in their attempts to help their fellow Champions out of terrible circumstances.

Again, the Champions will find themselves experiencing strange dreams on Sunday night, until they're awakened by C.E.C.E.'s announcement. This is all starting to become routine.]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your third trial, you have unlocked the fourth floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.!

[The trash compactor is completely shiny and new again. In addition, the profiles on the P.I.P.s still inticate that Karamatsu is dead. Because of course he is, right?

Fuck you.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

cw: might be some slight eye gore but i'll warn if it pops up

[le_mat]

[So yeah, a motive happened.

Akira has no fucking idea at the time cuz he's sleeping hardcore in the infirmary for most of the day.

He is awake here and there though, and eager for visitors, though he's higher then jesus right now. And food, food plz. When he first wakes up though he asks after a few people: Kaiba, Yuri and Karamatsu]

[lovecolored]

[ waits until the room is empty in the evening so no one can yell at her

promptly dope-slaps him upside the head ]

Please tell me ya at least learned somethin' good in there, Patchy the Pirate.

[ she is so tired. you morons. playing the straight man is exhausting what kind of parallel universe is this. ]

[le_mat]

[He whines in pain at that]

M'not a pirate em'a thief.

[lovecolored]

Bullcrap, a good thief wouldn't've sassed their target when they got caught! What the hell were you two thinkin', huh?! Do I need to tutor ya on burglary exit strategies?!

[le_mat]

She's a bitch an' deserved it. Great face, woulda framed it.

[Guess who feels almost no guilt other then the fact that Kaiba got maimed too]

[lovecolored]

True. But was it really worth losin' yer eye for?

[ She sighs and pulls up a chair to his bedside ]

Yer gonna be half-blind for the rest of yer life, idiot.

[le_mat]

No. Yes? I dunno. Yuri... couldn' let him die like that for nothin'.

[karappo]

[Karamatsu isn't there when Akira wakes for the first time, though he does come to visit him midday when he's sure he's not being bombarded and is also stable.

He slips into a seat beside Akira's bed, concern written on his face. He couldn't get into Akira's room for Morgana, but...instead, he's brought Yuri's cat pillow.]

Akira-san, are you awake?

[le_mat]

Mm... sorta?

[karappo]

[Well, not dead, so that's a plus.

Karamatsu gently sets the pillow near him.]

If you need anything, I am here.

[le_mat]

You... okay?

[He kinda reaches out and pats at him, awkwardly cuz his arms still aren't really working great and his depth perception is gone]

[karappo]

[That gets Karamatsu's expression to soften, and when Akira's hand comes near he catches it briefly in his own so he doesn't have to continue to blindly grope for him. And yes, his hand is very soft.]

I am managing, thanks to you. You focus on resting, and we will look after you this time.

[le_mat]

[ Soft ///]

Sorry the door's pro'lly locked.

[theundertaken]

[Did someone ask for food, 'cause THERE'S GONNA BE FOOD.

Max coming down to the infirmary at about midday, to be exact. He's sneaking along with a couple of bowls, and asks in a low voice when he sees Akira alert-ish.]

Hey, bud. You both awake?

[le_mat]

[Akira looks over with his good eye and smiles sleepily]

Dunno if Seto is or not. What's that?

[theundertaken]

I, uh...well, I got his lunch request but you were asleep, so I just tried to make some curry? I don’t think I got it like yours at all, but...

[le_mat]

[... he looks pretty touched]

M'sure it's fine.

[theundertaken]

Okay, here. Got you some water, too...

[He’ll drag one of the little tables over next to Akira’s bed, so that he’s got a surface to eat on without getting up.]

Feeling any pain?

[le_mat]

Hmm... Nothing too bad. Mostly if I touch it. Otherwise everything's numb.

Hey, Max? ...thanks. For everything.

[andjerry]

[he'd ran, but not out of fear: other people had this handled and all he could do was keep anyone else out of the way. he does look in during the day, watching breathing, not knowing what to do if something's wrong but at least knowing what to look for, and he slides in quietly to a half-awake Akira late at night.]

...you both could have died. [he says, thinking no one's probably going to hear him. it isn't accusatory, not even after that last trial, but awestruck.]

[le_mat]

[Akira blinks his uncovered eye drowsily, his voice soft and a little slurred- not fully awake or sober]

We didn', though.

[andjerry]

No.

[and he's thoughtful as he watches Akira's face.]

Thank you. This time... you found something worth risking it for.

[le_mat]

Wish... coulda got more.

[They found out a little about their overseers and the other side, but not enough to justify Yuri's death]

[andjerry]

I know. But. Thank you for trying.

[this is really awkward, being able to simply be honest in a situation like this. maybe akira won't remember it in the morning.]

...do you need anything, or are you going to sleep?

[le_mat]

...maybe a little water?

[He probably won't manage to stay up long, but he doesn't wanna just pass out on him]
