Week 4.

[trustharder]

WEEK 4 And as the third week in the Vault comes to a close and the fourth week begins, the Survivors are once again down by two. Mion Sonozaki died on her own terms, and Yato died fulfilling his duty as God of Fortune in the best way that he knew how; the shrine built in the game room on Saturday stands in their memory. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. But that doesn't mean the night was uneventful - it seems something else may have brought you some newfound clarity. Or perhaps not... Once again, that spiral staircase leads farther than you remember, clear up to a previously inaccessible fourth floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; even if the Kingmaker sounded a bit unhappy with you last weekend, the fact remains that you're still doing what you seem to have been brought here to do.

[Cherryblod spends a good deal of his time around here anyway, so it's not too surprising for him to walk in at a random time during the morning.]

What are you making, dear?

[Is it a bad sign he doesn't immediately recognize it...?]

[ratingspoint]

I haven't decided yet!

[In other words, nope! It doesn't really look like anything yet, anyway, so at the very least there's that. Presumably the majority of it will be baking of some sort, but- ]

Good morning, sweetheart.

[cherryblooded]

Good morning. If you haven't decided, do you mind if I stick around and watch it take shape?

[This will probably be fun. Or horrifying, or both.]

[ratingspoint]

Why in the world would I mind? Go right ahead!

[I mean, if there's one thing he's not going to complain about, it's an audience.]

[cherryblooded]

Thank you.

[So he'll watch for a second or two as Mettaton does his whatever.]

...It's Thursday. We never did get a deadline for those secrets, but...

[Calamities tend to happen Thursday night or Friday morning, around here.]

[ratingspoint]

[...This would honestly be why he is currently making a downright heroic amount of fondant right now, to be honest; it gives him something to do with himself.]

This is what I was talking about, when I said that he could hold these over our heads as much as he wanted.

[Back when we got in that fight a couple weeks ago and all. He doesn't sound angry about it, though.]

Sword of Damocles, remember?

[cherryblooded]

[Yeah, he remembers that pretty well.]

I'll be alright. I have you and Yosuke and Sigrun, and I have Sigrun's word that she'll jailbreak me if anyone tries to lock me up for my secrets.

...So what about you?

[ratingspoint]

...What about me, darling?

[And that's...a little more subdued, but there's still some sort of effort being put forth.]

[cherryblooded]

You had an envelope, like everyone else. Will you be alright if that gets out to everyone?

[ratingspoint]

...Of course I will.

[Probably not! But he'll manage, all right.]

[cherryblooded]

Mm. Okay.

[The amount of which Cherryblod believes him is very low, but he won't press.]

[ratingspoint]

[Oh, good! Then we can leave well enough alone and- ]

...It'll be rough, I think. But it's nothing I can't handle. It's mostly just talking about what a liar I tend to be.

It'll undermine a few things, but it isn't unsalvageable.

[cherryblooded]

I trust you. If it was all that important for me to know, I doubt you'd lie to me about it.

So it's really not a big deal, at least for me.

[ratingspoint]

Exactly.

[...cherryblod honey you've got a big storm coming]

So we'll be fine. And who knows, maybe it's just insurance and nothing will happen.

[HOPE...SPRINGS...ETERNAL...]

[cherryblooded]

[Look. Is it 'I am actively plotting your murder at this very moment'? No? Then we're good.]

There's always that chance. ...Though I'm starting to dread Friday mornings, still.

[ratingspoint]

...I think we all are, sweetheart.

[Hopefully whatever happened to Taichi was a one-off, or we're going to start dreading Mondays as well.]

[cherryblooded]

...Do you think anyone would mind if I slept in tomorrow?

I was the one to find the body three weeks in a row. Someone else can do it.

[ratingspoint]

If they do, they can take it up with me. I don't blame you any.

[...]

Do you want to stay with me again?

[cherryblooded]

If you don't mind. I enjoy spending the time with you.

[Having an alibi's not bad, either.]

[ratingspoint]

[Ex...actly...]

I don't mind in the least, sweetheart! Anytime you like.

[cherryblooded]

Well. I'd visit more often, but I'd hate to interrupt anything you and Sigrun might be doing.

[ratingspoint]

[........what]

...Right, she told me that you heard about that, actually.

It's not like we're doing anything scandalous in there.

[cherryblooded]

I'd hope you're not, considering the Kingmaker's probably watching, and that should be a mood killer for anybody.

[ratingspoint]

[...That actually gets him to laugh, asshole.]

Oh, believe me, I know he is! Unfortunately, that's not the sort of show I put on for people.

[cherryblooded]

[He tries.]

Good, good. But I'd still hate to walk in while you two are just being romantic and ruin things for you.
