trusthell | WEEK 2.

WEEK 2
Two people are gone from the group. Zagi and Kamui are dead, twenty-five of you are still alive, and the first week in the Vault comes to a close.

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; on Sunday morning, those klaxons are as annoying as ever but at the very least there aren't any bodies to be found. It can be assumed, perhaps, that 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...

However, those weird dreams aren't the only new thing around here; one of the previously closed-off section near the vending machine has opened up, revealing a spiral staircase leading up to the next floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done.

Ah, the lobster, right?

[...ya know what.]

I'd be honored to.

[He gets to see the photo then!]

Here you are.

[Speedwagon was never quite sure what to expect, but... that's basically it.]

..Can't say I've ever seen a lobster blush like that before.

[He's sort of speechless.]

Isn't she adorable?

[Obviously blushing lobsters are cute.]

Yes, I guess she is... quite lovely. [Though Cherryblod looks pretty happy too, and he's glad for that.]

Can't really guess, judging by the photo, but it springs to mind a wedding photograph. Don't it?

That's because it is. We're just about to leave for our honeymoon there.

Is that right? [don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it]

I dare say it looks like you've got no small amount of reasons to live.

Everyone here could say the same.

[At least, he assumes so.]

Some more then others. [But he's glad that he has something.

He flashes a smile- it's brief but there.]

If there's reasons to keep going, then we'd best keep going. Even if we just don't want to be here.

[Well, obviously his family is the best one.]

A good enough reason, in my book. And one we all can sympathize with.

Surely more then not. How is your family then? Didn't you say you had a daughter sometime ago?

[with a lobster... alright. Still not thinking about it too hard.]

I do! My Lobco's traveling right now, so I haven't seen her in some time.

Must be nice, being such a proud parent and the like!

One of the most wonderful experiences in the world.

I suppose a parent can be proud of their child at any age... You're certainly one of the better lot I've seen. That's something to be proud of.

That's the nicest thing you could say to me.

Guess that means I think rather well of you by now.

[For a shrimp, he's a pretty good stand-up guy.]

Glad to be in your high esteem. You're not so bad yourself - do you prefer Speedwagon or Robert?

[Someone had to ask.]

Huh? [Oh. Huh.

His gaze holds on Cherryblod for a few seconds, until he's not entirely sure where to put it. Two weeks in and someone finally decided to ask, and he's not used to actually being asked about this.

...Is he smiling? Yeah, he is. It's such a little thing, but it's also A Thing.]

Just 'Speedwagon' is what I've gone by the most. Although... being called Robert is more correct, I'd think.

I don't mind calling you either - whichever you'd like.

[He knows people with stranger names, and people who were pickier about their form of address.]

In that case I'm fine with being Speedwagon. It's what most people who knew me have called me anyways.

[Robert was an old man's name anyways.]

Speedwagon it is. Most people I know only have one name, so I'm not quite familiar with the niceties of choosing between them.

One name would make it a bit easier, unless you're in a family like mine. There's more Speedwagon's in the world then you'd think.

You know, I haven't heard much about your family. Would you like to talk about them?

Ah, perhaps some other time then?
