Week 9.

[trustharder]

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!]

[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

[trustharder]

[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.

[captainobnoxious]

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

[trustharder]

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?

[captainobnoxious]

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

[trustharder]

[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.

[captainobnoxious]

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

[trustharder]

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?

[captainobnoxious]

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

[trustharder]

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

[Flowers!]

[captainobnoxious]

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

[trustharder]

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.

[captainobnoxious]

[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

[trustharder]

TARRLOK.

BECAUSE FUCK NORMA BATES.

[captainobnoxious]

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

[trustharder]

[...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.

[captainobnoxious]

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)

[trustharder]

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.]

[captainobnoxious]

[you're talking to like

the one of two people who probably don't get zodiacs]

we should celebrate it
what season were you born in? we'll just pick something from there

and why is it? i won't deny it is because it's my birthday but why do you think so?

[She loves hearing people say good things about her, after all.]

[trustharder]

I THINK IT WAS WINTER.
AND IT IS A GOOD DATE BECAUSE OF STARSIGNS.
PEOPLE BORN UNDER LEO ARE USUALLY BOLD AND INFLUENTIAL AND PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO.

[captainobnoxious]

that sounds like me and mettaton!!!
he was always very passionate about what he did
i love it about him
and there wasn't anything that wasn't bold about him either
i wish i could draw better but anything i'd try wouldn't be good enough
he called what i did of him once adorable though
don't go anywhere for a minute though i need to ask black something
he's here with me

[And she'll turn around towards Black after that. Feel free to draw around her, Glory. She won't know.]

Kitten, what do you know about starsigns?

[penduli]

[ ...oh, he's being talked to, uh. ]

A good bit. They're very popular in my time—for horoscopes, compatibility charts, stuff like that. I wish I could say I don't believe them, but... [ A small shrug. ] A little bit of me does, even if I don't think mine fits me all that well.

Why?

[captainobnoxious]

Glory doesn't really have a birthday and I wanna give them one. They think it was winter when they were born. So tell me what those are like.

And what yours is.

[penduli]

[ ...that's a lot, but okay. ]

People born under Capricorn—that's mid-December to mid-January—are usually pretty practical and ambitious, in my experience. They can be a little pessimistic at times, but they're not bad people? Though they hold grudges like nobody's business.

[ You accidentally delete an email with a link to a cat video one time— ]

The rest of January and up to mid-February belong to Aquarius. They're quite an opinionated bunch. [ ... ] It's nicer to say they're just... very themselves. Independent? They tend towards the "loyal" side of the spectrum just like Leos do, and they're friendly enough that most people get along with them. If they can handle their opinions, anyway. And their contrariness.

The last one's Pisces, which is the rest of February up to mid-March. They're generally very nice people—like the Hufflepuffs of the zodiac, actually. [ Heheh. ...he's the only one who gets this joke. ] They're really sympathetic and kind, which can sort of be their downfall, since they're also easy to lead around by the nose.

[ Hoooooooo boy that's a lot of talking and... the bare minimum of what he knows, really. ]

As for me, White and I were Gemini—the twins. Our birthday's May 29th. [ ~spring children~ ] Gemini's usually very communicative, intellectual, cunning, witty, eloquent... stuff like that. On the flipside, we can also be a little superficial and inconsistent. Gemini has always represented a sort of—duality, I suppose? It's a very contradictory sign, when you get into the nitty-gritty of it.

[ But we're not here for the dirty deets done dirt cheap. ]

That's about it, I guess. More or less. I usually just check people's signs when I learn what they are, since it's a lot to remember otherwise.

[captainobnoxious]

Kingmaker's an Aquarius.

[Just putting it out there.

... The fucks a Hufflepuff. Is this something she's gonna ask him later? Yes.]

... Okay though. And I think you're all those things too, kitten. For Gemini. I'm a Leo apparently.

[BIG FUCKING SURPRISE.

Okay, back to Glory. Have some ~*~stars~*~.]

what starsign do you think you are
i got a list from black and i think you might be an [hold on let her try to figure out how to spell this] akwerius
i know that's wrong but that's how it's said
otherwise i guess we can make your birthday feb 14 because i heard it used to be a big thing for love with the oldworlders and we do stupid things for love
