WEEK 6

Another week, another three lost - and this time all to one murder case. And that's to say nothing of the execution, or whatever went on with that ouija board that still sits in the library... strange things are afoot in the facility, and some of them not even your captor seems fully equipped to explain.

The other of the two doors in the main living area finally opens after another lost Saturday, and what lies beyond is... strange, to say the least. Looks like there's no shortage of changes, even in the architecture. It certainly seems like you should have gotten something like this before the water park at the very least, don't you think?

Angel's still out and about at night, if you want to be found. And who knows what else you might find if you're out alone? Apparently, you might have a ghost on your hands.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ooc: Welcome to Week 6! If you want Angel or to try your hand at the ouija, please make sure to note in your toplevel, same as an investigation! AC is over here, regains are here, and, well...

You've all got a new app on your devices! Use it wisely. ]

That's fair.

[He shrugs a bit. Goes back to working on the monstrosity.]

Death is just sort of something I'm used to at this point. It happens, and sometimes it's bad when it happens but usually it isn't much of anything, and I have to get on with my day. It'd be different if it were my wife or my daughter; it was different when it was a friend of mine a couple of months ago. But for most people it's...at best it's like you said, it's disappointing. But that's not the same thing.

[ Rin nods to that. ]

You remember what I said to you last week. Sometimes when I work with other people, it's just a job. Sometimes, not everyone makes it back from a job. It puts a damper on things, but it stops hitting you the same way after a while.

[personal profile] fivestagegod 2020-05-17 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
It's never really hit me the way it should, I guess. Reasons people like me last so long in my line of work, I guess.
mouflon: (a warm and wet membrane)

[personal profile] mouflon 2020-05-17 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Is that what you mean, when you called yourself a basket case or a train wreck or whatever it was?

[ In the same way as his question, it doesn't sound like a judgment. ]
fivestagegod: (Default)

[personal profile] fivestagegod 2020-05-17 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. I'm pretty sure something's broken in there. Hell if I know what.

It doesn't bother me or anything. Just something I'm aware of.
mouflon: (My dick expands to avoid being crushed.)

[personal profile] mouflon 2020-05-17 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
But, I...

[ She pauses, suddenly very aware of her own words. How to say what she means without sounding condescending? ]

But you love your wife and daughter, right? Just because things are more muted for you...
fivestagegod: (03. you say you're okay)

[personal profile] fivestagegod 2020-05-17 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I love them, yeah.

[He's quiet for a moment. Just...sort of off in his head.]

I'm not saying that I'm incapable of feeling anything or whatever. Just that a lot of stuff that should probably work in there really doesn't.

Still, you always seem like you have it together. Even when you're doing stuff like this. [ She just kind of stabs her brush in the direction of the whole puppet monstrosity. ] So, if you're a basket case, what does that make the rest of us? I can't even sleep through the night most of the time, because...

[ It's The PTSD, but Rin's understanding of the concept is minimal at best. ]

[personal profile] fivestagegod 2020-05-17 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Do I seem like I have it together? I haven't felt this messed up since...

[He doesn't know. The training facility, probably? This whole thing has just been one constant reminder of the training facility, and he isn't...sure he wants to talk about that.]

Look, it doesn't matter. What matters is we deal with what were given, because we die if we don't. If I seem at all together, it's because I have to be, and because I don't like not being together when I'm in front of god and everyone.
mouflon: (my crotch is in a state of paralysis.)

[personal profile] mouflon 2020-05-17 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, not as much this week. But I could say that about pretty much anyone else here, too.

[ She sighs. ]

Forget I said anything. It's just... I get that you're trying to be self-aware, but I still think you're being hard on yourself. If you ask me, this place has done a pretty good job of telling us that being a train wreck is just part of being a person.

[ Like, look at people breaking down ever week? Hello?? ]
fivestagegod: (Default)

[personal profile] fivestagegod 2020-05-17 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Less self-aware, and more...

[Mm.]

Look, I have no idea why she told me this, but Rose tried to tell me earlier that she thinks she's too sensitive because she gets sad thinking about people dying. I am not sure what the problem is with damn near everyone she's ever talked to that made her come to that conclusion, but that seems sort of...

[...]

God. I have no idea why everyone here is like this.

So, like I was just saying. You seem like you have it together.

[ She rolls her shoulders in an exaggerated shrug, and then she sets down her brush and leans her elbows on the table. ]

You know she was a rebel leader, right? That's why she thought it was a problem. When most people spend every day fighting and watching the people around them die and making decisions that decide which ones are the ones that do — I just said this, Birkin. You stop feeling it the same way.

So Rose is different. She keeps feeling it the same way she always has, day after day. That doesn't make her a train wreck or anything, and I don't see why the opposite would, either.

[personal profile] fivestagegod 2020-05-17 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know what she was. She talked to me about that sort of stuff a lot, actually.

[She talked to him about a lot of stuff that's really going to piss him off after this weekend, actually.]

What I'm saying is she's better put-together than most of us are, actually. Never said she wasn't.
mouflon: USED WITH PERMISSION; DO NOT TAKE (hammering her into the wall like a nail)

[personal profile] mouflon 2020-05-17 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but she thought she wasn't. That's the point.
