Week 9.

WEEK 9
For the first time since your stay in the Vault began, no one died this week. That doesn't mean there weren't casualties among you, however – namely, trust, interpersonal relationships, and comfort in the group dynamic as a whole.

Hopefully no one else pays the price for it.

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. You're safe for now – unless your dreams have told you otherwise...

SURVIVORS REMAINING: 10

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week nine of Trustfell! Save your threads for coins; don't forget to submit your memory regains! There is no activity check this week!

THE FINAL INVESTIGATION BEGINS ON THURSDAY!
THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO REDEEM COINS!
The text and calling posts are still active, for the sake of contacting the jerk who's keeping you here, to be used at your leisure!]

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SAID IT.
IT'S PROBABLY WRONG TO SAY IT TO YOU BECAUSE HE ISN'T AROUND ANYMORE.
BUT HE'S A BAD PERSON.
NOT IN THE SAME WAY AS NORMA BATES.
BUT NOT A GOOD PERSON.

did everyone agree on that or is that your personal opinion of him?

[... It's too bad tone doesn't really come through words like this, because she's honestly curious.]

IT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION.

oh
okay

[...]

he was a big dick
and an asshole
and a jerk
and selfish and self-serving and self-centered and difficult and bad about talking and a lot of other things actually
but i don't think he was a bad person, exactly
even if he wasn't a good person either

what makes you think of him like that?

PEOPLE LIKE METTATON AND MISA AMANE ARE BAD PEOPLE.
PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL OTHERS JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO.

[Sigrun's more than a little pained to see both those names up there like that, plus that reasoning, because... well, she can't deny that it isn't true. They are bad people for thinking that way.

She keeps to squiggles for a little bit before she finally writes.]

i don't really have an answer to that
because you're right that people who think that way are bad
but i still don't really want to say that either of them are bad people at the same time
mostly because i have good memories with them both

[That's all the reason for it.]

misa did a fancy dinner for me and mettaton
she really helped me a lot with trying to figure out how i felt about him too
and helped me understand what you do about dating and stuff
a lot of her advice really sucked for us though
her mask party was fun

mettaton requires more time

I'VE GOT TIME.

[Some more little flowers, though; there is an attempt at being supportive here?]

[you're doing good glory]

i don't know where to begin
um

[Give her a little bit. Enjoy more stars. There's a pretty good "sky" of them before she can think of anything, though.]

my favorite times with him were when he was quiet
it sounds kind of mean to say but there's a reason for it
see, his soul wasn't like ours, because he's a monster
a monster-robot-thing
you could see it

[She'll draw a small box and a heart inside.]

like that
he could let it out and that's when he couldn't talk. it's him at his most vulnerable
i was the only person he did it with, who he trusted completely, and he liked those times as much as i did
it was really [pause] nice. really, really nice

[After a moment, you'll get a few stars, too.]

IT'S OKAY IF YOU LIKE THEM.
EVEN IF I THINK THEY'RE BAD PEOPLE.
EVEN BAD PEOPLE DESERVE TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO MISS THEM WHEN THEY'RE GONE.

i think so too
and even if they're bad people they're still important to me
i won't say they're good people, but i think they did their best at what they thought was right
just like me
even if their thoughts are different

[...]

maybe it's just a thing for me
but in the end mettaton's kill switch thing was just a job for him, i think
i don't know if he could back out of it or not without risking lives anyway
it might just be me trying to reason with stuff though
he really really really wanted to come home with me and see all the things i talked about
he liked hearing my stories a lot
and a lot of things i did for him too
he told me once he wasn't performing around me, and at the trial he said he'd been serious about that too, and i even asked km about some things about what mettaton said about me and he hadn't been performing around me for a while, apparently
so i guess that's also why i can't think of him completely as a bad person
it's stupid i know

I DON'T THINK IT'S STUPID.
EVEN IF IT WAS, IT COMES BACK TO WHAT WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT.
WE DO STUPID THINGS FOR PEOPLE WE LOVE.
RIGHT?

right
sure makes me glad he's not around though, kind of
i wonder what he'd think of me now

[She'll draw a few flowers, thinking about it, but one goes half finished as she writes another bit below.]

i think you're a good person too, glory

[Huh.]

I DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT WHETHER I'M A GOOD PERSON OR NOT.
I DON'T THINK I'M A BAD PERSON.
BUT I'M PROBABLY NOT A GOOD ONE EITHER.
I AM JUST GLORY, AND WHAT I AM IS WHAT I AM.

Edited (html no) 2016-04-25 16:15 (UTC)

so what WAS your title before?
"glory" is a better name than anything that it could've been but it isn't exactly fitting for someone who died because they did something stupid because of love
you agree right

YOU NEVER KNOW. MAYBE I WENT OUT IN A BLAZE OF.

[...Glory, please.]

I HAVE BEEN CALLED A LOT OF THINGS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. BUT RIGHT NOW MY NAME IS GLORY.
IT'S MY GIVEN NAME AND NOT A TITLE.
I CALL ALL OF YOU BY GIVEN NAME TOO.
SO WHY WOULDN'T I WANT YOU TO DO THE SAME?

that is a cool given name!!

[Without a doubt.]

and that's acceptable
km calls us all by our titles which is why we call him km i guess
also because we don't know his name
i'd call him by his name if i knew it
just to freak him out a little. i already get on his nerves enough, it's kind of fun
that's mostly because i know a lot more about him than pretty much anyone here

I'M NOT SURPRISED.
THAT YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM THAN MOST PEOPLE, THAT IS.
YOU ARE GOOD AT TALKING TO PEOPLE.

[Flowers!]

i am! i asked him some questions one of our dead people made up for a dating thing and he said that he liked that i talked to him like a person
not just a captor or anything
i WAS pretty friendly towards him despite the fact that he was getting us to kill each other
mostly because i figured that being on his bad side would be worse
it didn't matter in the end though obviously

[Some flowers right back!! But they're few. Very thoughtful.]

he's a bad person
and was born insane, apparently
but he had a friend once that he liked a lot
but not loved because "that'd be weird" but i can tell that that person meant a lot to him
he doesn't like talking about his friend, he gets really upset when i try, but i still do
i think it might have been something like with you though
his person died and then sometime after km decided to win the game
because he wouldn't say or not if he was in a game the way we were in but i can pretty much guess that he was, even if he claims his friend never had a title (he was mean about this too) and he hung up on me when i asked him why he stayed
he doesn't want me to sympathize with him and i don't, but getting to know him is different

I KNOW KINGMAKER IS A BAD PERSON.
ALL PEOPLE WHO RUN GAMES LIKE THIS ARE BAD PEOPLE.

[...thanks, glory.]

I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT HIM.
JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.
BUT HE SOUNDS LIKE HE'S ALSO FUCKING CRAZY.

[YEAH, THANKS. EXACTLY.]

the friend part has been the most important thing i've learned
he's pretty tight-lipped about anything else
but yeah he's pretty fucking crazy
who'd you learn the "fucking" part from by the way or do you just feel that comfortable with me
because i'm glad either way
you're easy to talk to too

TARRLOK.

BECAUSE FUCK NORMA BATES.

tell tarrlok that he needs to watch his mouth
i don't mind cursing but i don't want the more polite people to be uncomfortable with it
i'm sure aqua has said as much to him though
she's a good girl

how old are you anyway. just curious

[...Some more idle swirly things. Apparently this requires a lot of thought.]

I DON'T KNOW.
I NEVER HAD A BIRTHDAY OR ANYTHING.
THAT WASN'T REALLY IMPORTANT.

what kind of person doesn't have a birthday?
i mean
mettaton didn't either i think
but that's because he had some special circumstances
i was going to give him my birthday though (july 30th)

TECHNICALLY I HAVE ONE.
I HAD TO START EXISTING AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER.
BUT IT'S NOTHING THAT WE REALLY CELEBRATED OR ANYTHING.

[...]

JULY 30 IS NICE, THOUGH.
IT IS A GOOD DATE FOR BOTH STARS AND LEADERS, I THINK.

[...leo and all.]
