WEEK 3

Well, the tail end of Week 2 could have gone better. That's the first thing to note.

The second thing is... hang on, should it be Week 3 yet? You've all gone to sleep (or... not, in the case of anyone who doesn't), but when you wake up (and you do all wake up), the calendar and clock on your device informs you that it's Sunday. In-character, all characters explicitly have absolutely no memory of Saturday.

Your sense of time isn't the only thing that's changed - a new branch of the facility has opened and become active overnight, giving you new resources and places to investigate, should you so choose. There's also a new channel on the television, though whether it's an improvement over the last one is questionable.

Otherwise, though, things have mostly settled into normalcy again, or at close to normal as you can find in this place. How long that peace will last, though... that's becoming increasingly uncertain, moving forward.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY


[ ooc: Welcome to Week 3! Turn in last week's AC over here, and regains remain over this way! And for the sake of consistency, Angel's office hours remain over yonder! ]

[ Well... if he's going that way...

She moves, after that little push. ]


... Thank you.

[ It's quiet enough for him to hear, but only just. ]
bolderfell: Not sure how to stop. <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (WEARY 🗡️ Don't stop can't stop.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't.

[And that's all he'll say on their way to the lounge. He waits for her to sit, then goes back to his room, drops off his goods, and returns with. The water bottle from before, and part of a gingerbread house? All the candy's been picked off it. Or licked off it.

He breaks the gingerbread into dog-friendly pieces and drops them for Daisy. The water is for Mira.]


Here.
philoxenia: (so what are you gonna do--)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Similarly, she'll fall quiet. At least when Therion returns, Daisy seems to have calmed down, and she's sitting at Mira's feet. Once he starts dropping those pieces, she moves just the tiniest bit so she can yoink them off the ground.

Mira takes the water and holds it in her hands, fiddling with the cap. ]


... I appreciate it. Though... this definitely isn't how you expected to spend your early morning, right?

[ That sure is a poor attempt at trying to lighten the mood. ]
bolderfell: Wherever my feet take me. <user name="hashagi" site="tumblr.com"> (AWAY 🗡️ Where to?)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sits, though not next to her or anything, and gathers his arms under his cloak.]

Don't know why I didn't. Someone always seems to be wandering around at night.
philoxenia: (ain't it fun-- being all alone?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Higher expectations for self-preservation, maybe.

[ Especially considering, you know, what happened last week. ]
bolderfell: I knew I should have stayed home today. (Official art) (SCARF 🗡️ Adventure is out there.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[Still no snide comment about it out of him.]

Doubt most are sleeping well after this past morning.

[Damien LaVey is just gone.]
philoxenia: (so what are you gonna do?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huh.

She doesn't miss that. She does nod, though. ]


... It's one thing to have it happen at the-- [ She can't even call it a trial. What a joke. ] After what happened Friday. Another to have it happen so-- unexpectedly. And to call us out to see it...
bolderfell: Did you get what you wanted, partner? <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (MELANCHOLY 🗡️ Lonely at the top.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...And for the blow to come from an unexpected corner.

[Angel...

Therion shakes his head.]


He's right. We are complacent. I'm a fool for not realizing what he meant sooner. But it shouldn't have come as a surprise that some of you wouldn't be thinking clearly after that.
philoxenia: (creatures seem to scream and fade)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .... yeah. Poor Angel. ]

... I can't exactly argue with that. But as far as I can tell, we're the only ones that've dared to be out this late.
bolderfell: I'll stab him in a second. (Promotional art) (SIGH 🗡️ This is fine.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, well.

[He looks away--further away, actually, since he already wasn't looking at her--and pulls his scarf up.]

Figured this was my best window to avoid the rest of you. More fool me.
philoxenia: (i'm all about you)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hmm.

She's definitely making a note of that. ]


Well... with this group, I wouldn't count too much on being able to avoid people.
bolderfell: Don't irk people. Dirk people. <user name="hashagi" site="tumblr.com"> (BORED 🗡️ My fidget stabber.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dry:] I noticed.

[Here he is with her, isn't he?]

What about you. Are you one of those who never sleeps, like Jasper?
philoxenia: (misery)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Fair.

She takes a drink of her water before nodding slowly. ]


... I don't really sleep too well, anyway. Being here only makes it worse.
bolderfell: Everything is up. You're all so damn tall. <user name="bottleshark" site="tumblr.com"> (HMM? 🗡️ What's up Doc?)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Because of what's happening? Or something else?
philoxenia: (ain't it fun-- living in the real world?)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
What's happening doesn't help at all, no... but it's been like this for a while.

[ insomnia, man. ]
bolderfell: Cool. Not my problem. <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (NOTICE 🗡️ Any trouble?)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...Did he die for you.

[Jesus Jewish Christ, Therion.]
philoxenia: (at the golden gates)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Therion.

She inhales sharply, hand tightening on the bottle. ]


He-- died because of me.

[ So not too far off, as far as she's concerned. ]
bolderfell: Let me alone. <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (NAPE 🗡️ Let it alone.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

Did you kill him?
philoxenia: (ain't it fun? you can't count)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Out of all the people she expected to tell about this--well. Therion wasn't at the top of her list, but... ]

... I did.
bolderfell: Not sure how to stop. <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (WEARY 🗡️ Don't stop can't stop.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-23 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is how you do it, pals, you cut the whole list by being a horrible monster.

He looks at her, then, fingers sunken deeply into his scarf.]


...Why?
philoxenia: (we're yet to bleed.)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-23 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Well--

[ She pauses. ]

I might as well have. I came home, Noah was dead, and the person I decided to trust because he told me I was important was there, holding a bloody knife.
bolderfell: People besides me can experience tragedy?! (Concept art) (!? 🗡️ Nani da fuck?)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-24 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
You--the hell. That's not the same.

[He actually seems a little worked up over this.]
philoxenia: (they once held the keys to)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-04-24 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
... it certainly feels like it.
bolderfell: Beasts fight when cornered. <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (CROSS 🗡️ Clang clang shinnng.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2020-04-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
You have no idea how it feels.

[He's up and on his feet, forward three steps in a breath. He stops there, aware that he's leaving her behind, before he half-turns without truly facing her.]

Maybe you were stupid. Maybe you shouldn't believe in a kind word or a smile. But true betrayal doesn't happen by mistake.

[He stalks again towards Room 24.]
