WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

That's three murders now - and this last trial got more than slightly out of hand. It looks like you might be in for another tough week... or at least, maybe that's just the refusal of this place to change too much. You lose Saturday again, but maybe six-day weeks are starting to feel normal by now. Who knows? The cycle of day and night continues apace, changing so little.

Speaking of change, though, there's a new area to look through, the biggest and most complex yet. And the end of one wing of the facility, from the looks of it - though you can probably guess where more areas might start to open up.

And speaking of opening up (segues!), this week if you're out particularly late, you might sometimes see Angel out and about! So hey, maybe change is on the horizon.

Just gotta hope it's a change for the better, don't you?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 5! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! Or, if you want Angel to come to you, that's now an option! Simply put a prompt after lights-out into your toplevel and indicate you want Angel in the subject line, same as investigations! ]

It's nice to have somebody to talk to. I never told other humans anything about the War or Homeworld before, and the other Gems all know already. Except Amethyst, but I want her to live free of their expectations.

[Or, she did. Apparently Jasper is gonna fuck that up, if their universes are the same and all that.]

I guess I've talked to people here about things like that too. But I don't know if I could have, if I hadn't already met Greg.

It's probably different, anyway, talking about that stuff here. Like... We all have different things going on in our lives, and I doubt any of them would seem "normal" to the average person. The two of us can stand here and talk about how it'd be weird to date someone you've fought beside, but how well are most people going to get that? Even here, there are probably only a couple of us.

...S- Sorry, I don't really know what I'm saying. It's just—good, meeting people who understand.

[lovelikeyou]

No, no - you're right. It really is nice. Even Greg - I can talk to him, but he doesn't understand.

[Which is okay; Rose is glad he doesn't have to know things like that. Being able to talk freely, like she isn't some magical space princess warrior, is enough. But being able to talk like this is a relief, too.]
