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!]

[Colress gently wraps his arms around Cherryblod to reciprocate, bowing his head a little as he settles into the embrace.

...It's really nice. He definitely did need this.

As they stand together in silence for the length of their hug, Cherryblod may notice Colress' breaths hitch in his throat from time to time. But it's clear that he's trying to hold that back. He just can't do that in front of Cherryblod- not now, at least.]

...It's alright if you let it out, you know.

[Cherryblod's voice is just as gentle as his embrace - trying to be soothing.]

I'm not going to judge.

[There's a pause from Colress as he realizes that Cherryblod must have caught on. It's not like he's able to be subtle about it when they're so close, but still.]

...Perhaps when we make it through this, I will allow myself time for it.

[He hasn't had to do this in so long, he doesn't know if it's even the right time for it.

Why do emotions have to hurt so bad? Is it a side effect of forging bonds?]

Regardless... Thank you, Cherryblod. This truly is comforting.

[He doesn't push the subject - it hardly ever works, and he respects Colress' wishes far too much.

Instead he just nods. When they're out of the vault, there'll be all the time in the world for tears.]

Any time you want, I'm here for you. - It helps me, too, and I don't mind.
