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!]

[He nods sadly. He knows this- but the temptation to ignore it and pretend is strong.

Izanami was right about humans, at least a little. But he has to be stronger then that.]

We were almost talking like we used to, then just... this urge to snap at him again came back. Like I just want to make him hurt for all of this. Not... not like at the meeting-

[Don't worry Cherry, he's not going to end up in the pit]

-but to rub it in his face that things can't go back. I'm not sure WHAT I feel anymore. It can't be both.

[cherryblooded]

Why not?

You can feel a lot of contradictory things at once, my dear. People are like that - they want it both ways. You want the relationship you had before this all happened, but at the same time, you want to make the person who hurt you hurt in return. Both are completely understandable.

[He moves around to the other side of the table so he can slide an arm around Yosuke's shoulders.]

Sometimes you do things that aren't the best idea, Yosuke, and sometimes you let your emotions get the better of you, but you're not a bad person for it. Don't ever start thinking that you are.

[garudynamic]

... you really think so?

[He doesn't think he's a bad person... but he wouldn't call himself a good person either. The meeting proved that.]

[cherryblooded]

[A nod, as he considers what to say.]

I don't know what an orange soul means except that I share it with Sigrun, but I know it's not green. Kindness isn't my strongest suit - it didn't come naturally to me. I had to work at it. And I still have ugly thoughts that translate to ugly actions - you've held me back from some of those.

It's alright to be angry, and to be resentful. Those are both natural things. When it's hurting you more than it's hurting him, then it's time to let go, but for now it's something anyone would understand, and it doesn't make you bad.

You're a good person. I believe it with my whole heart.

[garudynamic]

Orange, huh? Man, I wish I had asked Mettaton more about how his world works when I had the chance.

[He puts his hand over his own chest, where that 'pretty purple soul' flutters.] I have no idea what purple is supposed to mean. But whatever orange is, I know it's good. I believe THAT with all mine.

[cherryblooded]

Oh really? You think that highly of Sigrun? I'll have to let her know.

[He's teasing. Mostly because it's simpler than arguing that he's not really a good person.]

[garudynamic]

Well Sigrun IS pretty amazing~

[cherryblooded]

No arguments here.

[...this is a lot weirder after talking about how Sigrun would have banged him but anyway.]

[garudynamic]

[Yosuke never needs to know this]

Still.... good or bad, I think a lot of us are better after everything that's happened. Is that weird?

[cherryblooded]

[And he never will.]

Not weird at all. Adversity builds character, and this is pretty adverse.
