WEEK 7.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 7 Oerba Dia Vanille, Phi, and Gangrel have joined the deceased, dropping your number even further. This is the second week that the death toll has risen by three, just by way of murder alone. With well over half of your number deceased, how much longer can this go on? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... As before, it seems that door at the bottom of the stairwell has been unlocked, allowing you to descend even further into the depths of the university; perhaps the new floor holds something promising for you. Or perhaps you'll "christen" this one with another murder. Given the current pattern, that probably wouldn't be a surprise. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

girlf moving in....

[oyashiromama]

[Hanyuu returns to her room, not yet to sleep but to grab something, and.]

...

[Aaaaaaa...... She approaches Elda when she's busy shoveling in Chiyuki dolls.]

Elda... Just what are you doing...?

yes....

[matchbreaker]

Oh, just moving some things!

[ She appears to have set up all of their cardboard cut outs of Viktor in on corner, such that all of them are visible from the bed. And is now arranging the numerous Chiyuki dolls are their feet ]

girlf why

[oyashiromama]

[Holy shit don't call her out--]

I-i-it seems you're moving a lot of things!

because this is how she is tbh

[matchbreaker]

Oh no, not too many! I've left most of the secret things [ Stuff she found in investigations, mostly ] back in the old room.

[ Okay... arranged, she stands! ]

I know you like to look at these!

[ taps the Viktor cut out ]

[oyashiromama]

[She shushes Elda with a nervous laugh and just cloooses the door a little, so it obscures the view of the cut outs from the door.]

B-but to have so many up is strange d-don't you think...?! [Face flushed,] A-and the rooms are so small...

[matchbreaker]

It's only strange if you think them more beautiful than me.

[ why this

But she laughs, walking the space over towards Hanyuu.

... Also there may or may not be two new plushes on the bed ]

[oyashiromama]

No, I just...

[She stares at the bed...]

How...are we to sleep with all of those on there...?

[matchbreaker]

Oh, you can toll the rabbit.

[ NO SKIN OFF HER NOSE THERE. ]

[oyashiromama]

That's- [She sighs and rubs her temples and-] not quite the problem, Elda... We only have so much room in these, you know...?

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, but none of this takes up that much. Besides, that dirty bear there gives you good dreams! My granddaughter told me so.

[oyashiromama]

I- alright, the bear can say, I just- aah, it would've been nice if you'd mentioned it to me, you know?

[matchbreaker]

Do you really mind that much? It's like we're sharing a coffin, after all.

[ . . . .

Vampires. ]

[oyashiromama]

Wh- n-no, sharing a bed is one thing, but- but still, the room's my private space, isn't it...?!

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Blink.

... Hanyuu thought of it that way? ]

[oyashiromama]

[Maybe...if she explains-]

I don't...want to be alone, but- I've...so rarely had a place to call my own, being a spirit for so long. The Furude House was mine, sort of, but it was remodeled, and changed. Rika and Satoko's, I...it's hard to get used to as mine. Maybe I will one day, but... I-I'm sorry, I got...fl-flustered...

[matchbreaker]

... But you invited me here.

[ To the room.

... Did she really mean just the bed??? ]

[oyashiromama]

Mm...

[...]

I-I don't- I'm not saying you can't be here, just...that... I do still want...something for just me. Does that...make sense?

[Elda's clingy, but she should be able to, right?]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . If she does, she does it through a hard pout? Like a serious pout? Like a very pouty... pout.

Which doesn't look right on her old face. ]

... I did not intend merely to be your comfort in bed, Hanyuu.

[ :T ]

... But what would you have me take out?

[oyashiromama]

Aah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound...

[She winces, but that really is what it sounds like, isn't it? She considers...]

...Why...all the dolls of Chiyuki...?

[...that really is confusing her-]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh... she actually feels a little bad now. She didn't mean to -

No, don't back down now ]

The vending machine's given me so many, but I've not had the heart to destroy them.

[oyashiromama]

Mm, I have a few myself, but...

[Now she's all insecure what do.]

You can leave them here, but I'd hope not all of them would be on the bed, it- aah, it would feel strange to me.

[...sleeping with one chiyuki doll, alright, sleeping with a lot of them well]

[matchbreaker]

But they aren't on the bed.

[ They're in that corner! With the Viktors! ... It's a figure skater shrine! ]

[oyashiromama]

...Or...arranged...like that...

[A FIGURE SKATER SHRINE MAKES IT WEIRDER--]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

So where should they go?

[ Said with the air of someone trying to be considerate when someone else is being unreasonable.

Because that's clearly what's happening. ]

[oyashiromama]

[She doesn't want to say "back in your room" but- it-]

Aah... Auu, auu, aah... Maybe...a trunk, aah... [She stammers, and stammers, and- ...she remembers Gold's letter, okay, stand up for herself--]

I'm not sending you away, not at all, or your things. I just would like it if the room isn't...overcrowded...but as long as it's not everything, or an abundance, then it's fine. ...I'm sorry, I-I didn't want to, au, fight about something so...trivial.
