WEEK 7.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 7 Oerba Dia Vanille, Phi, and Gangrel have joined the deceased, dropping your number even further. This is the second week that the death toll has risen by three, just by way of murder alone. With well over half of your number deceased, how much longer can this go on? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... As before, it seems that door at the bottom of the stairwell has been unlocked, allowing you to descend even further into the depths of the university; perhaps the new floor holds something promising for you. Or perhaps you'll "christen" this one with another murder. Given the current pattern, that probably wouldn't be a surprise. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

GOOD I think it turned out well

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda's heart is at once strong and fragile. Every week, all of the people here have seen her bounce back from the trauma of the trials and the deaths faster than almost anyone else: fast enough that if you didn't get to know the woman it might seem insensitive (and hell, it might still be). But right now... Right now, confronted with someone who means so much to her, she feels like glass, like clay, like something Hanyuu holds in her hands. And feeling vulnerable Elda whispers out, ]

... Again. Tell me that you love me again.

[ She should respond to Hanyuu's promise. But right now, she just wants to hear that some more, and she strokes Hanyuu's cheek as she tries to coax it out ]

[oyashiromama]

[No hesitation:]

I love you.

/RIPS OFF TORADORA

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

Again.

[oyashiromama]

I love you.

[matchbreaker]

[ She almost, almost makes her say it once more because of how much she loves to hear it? But then Elda ... Elda melts a little. She laughs, and she collapses into the other woman, her face falling into her chest. She says this, into that same chest: ]

I love you more and more every day, Hanyuu Furude. [ She laughs a little, actually ] I couldn't choose anything else if I wanted.

[oyashiromama]

[She'll rest her chin on the top of Elda's head.]

I do choose...in that I choose to stay here, with you. Everything else... It's a fate I wouldn't change, no matter what.

[Those letters that are tucked away...she'll burn them, she decides. There will be no use for them, after all.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Those words... she needed to hear those words. She's not sure if that'll entirely change or abate this fear she has in her heart right now, but time heals all things, right? And right now, it's much easier to have her heart filled with the knowledge that she is loved rather than the fear of what vulnerability her own love leaves her with. No, no, right now... ]

We- [ . . . It's a fatalistic choice, in a way, Hanyuu's made. But. ] We will have a future. That's - a fate I want to believe is true.

[oyashiromama]

We will.

[She kisses Elda's forehead again, and then moves down to her lips, for another soft one.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Okay!

So like, that kiss is nice. the soft kiss. She tries to linger a little longer than normal. And then, even if the mood is too gentle for this? Elda wants to try to bounce back to her normal self?

... So she's going to try to gently tackle Hanyuu to pin on top of her, kissing her more, longer, and deeper.

There might be some desperation on the edges of it ]

[oyashiromama]

[Oh, goodness, that-- Well, there's a few small noises of surprise, but Hanyuu adjusts well enough, sliding a hand across Elda's cheek as she pushes her down, moving into her hair. The other lands delicately on Elda's arm as Hanyuu pushes back into the kiss.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda isn't sure where she's going with this, isn't sure if her end goal here? But she knows, she knows that she wants this, needs this. Her blood's racing and her mind is trying to wrap it's head around the fact that her love loves her back and has staten it in those not uncertain terms. Her eyes are closed as she kisses all the more, resisting the urge to move her tongue.

No, no, she shouldn't go that far.

That would be improper.

But her hands to busy themselves in Hanyuu's hair, on her cheek. And once Elda needs to inhale, she does so by way of gently biting Hanyuu's lip, pulling it back with a smirk.

What a cat ]

[oyashiromama]

[Well one of them's gonna have to make the choice to add the tongue eventually, if they want to get there, because Hanyuu too is a little shy! ...It's been a very long time since she's done anything like this, after all, and it was certainly a little scandalous to do, at the time.

...What she's more focused on, it's that little bite! She gasps and the hand in Elda's hair - now more at the back of her head - tightens it's grip, as her skin tingles.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh, Oh, that's cute. Hot? Attractive, that's the word. And Elda's smirk becomes more pronounced, her eyes briefly shifting to predatory before her gaze turns mischievous. And now that she knows Hanyuu's in the mood, she-

... Makes to have them flip over, releasing her lip when she tugs the other. ]

Elda would much rather be beneath Hanyuu. ]

[oyashiromama]

[Things just keep happening- Hanyuu lets out a few surprised aus as they turn, not quite understanding what's going on until...

Until there she is, oh- She's a little unsure how to proceed, really? For a moment, she's silent, and staring.

Then she just lurches forward and presses a deep kiss to Elda's lips, fighting a sheepish smile.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Look, she's a born bottom, okay? Feeling the weight and body heat of the person she loves on top of her like this? That feels warm, that feels nice. That feels safe. It's something that makes her toes curl a little below her, and it sends a thrill down her spine when it's Hanyuu who takes action to lurch forward towards her like this.

Hanyuu is so weighty as compared to her.

It's great.

Their lips meet again, and Elda wantonly embraces it, wrapping her hands around Hanyuu's neck and pulling her down closer towards her. Her heart's racing at this point, as if her body couldn't even contain it. ]

[oyashiromama]

[Elda is such a small woman, and it's another difference from her only point of reference. Riku was much taller than her, and while she was the more muscular of the two, he was still a man, and he was naturally built heavier, especially in shoulder.

Elda... Elda is a lithe thing, which is easy to forget when trading barbs with her. New territory, but after what she's remembered, after what she's admitted, she's ready to embrace it so hurriedly, lest it all...

Well. She doesn't want to live with regrets.

So she leans close and the smile shines through, alternating between the deep kisses and smaller, faster ones.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda's not privy to her thoughts, of course, only her own. In Elda's case, she welcomed all the affection with open arms! It's something which was born at once out of love and desperation, but more important than arguably either of those was... well.

This was something she could share with Hanyuu, right?

Because Hanyuu enjoyed this, right?

They both were! And so... well. Elda actually giggled a little, between all the kisses. Her long nails rake a bit on the other woman's scalp, down her neck. This is fun.. ]

[oyashiromama]

[How it was born doesn't change the result. That's what she's come to understand, for her experiences back home and here as well.

...That though, that's a surprise! She can't help but gasp and let out a small squeak, those nails are sharp...!!]

[matchbreaker]

Ah...! Was I too excited?

[ From her tone, her breathy tone at the next little break in their kissing, she doesn't seem to think so, because she thought she was being pretty gentle for how sharp they could be. But ... maybe she's teasing Hanyuu. Just a little. ]

[oyashiromama]

[Hanyuu, blushing, also a little out of breath-] I- I wasn't expecting it, aah- I-I'm not used to mixing- that kind of sensation with- this one.

[matchbreaker]

But... do you dislike it?

[ That's what matters, here? ]

[oyashiromama]

[...]

M- mm, I don't.

[She can...continue with that. It actually feels nice.]

[matchbreaker]

Good.

[ Then she's going to get back to doing that, running her hands through Hanyuu's hair - they have so much hair. She draws a circle on the back of the other woman's neck. ]

I wouldn't want to stop.

[oyashiromama]

Aah... G-good...

[She'll go back to kissing, then, first at Elda's cheek, moving back towards her mouth. Just pepper her face with kisses.]

[matchbreaker]

[ To love, love is great. But to be loved? That's great. That's fucking fantastic. So she'll puff out her cheeks and nuzzle up to each kiss until it's back to her lips. Once there, Elda nips at Hanyuu's lips again, but she's quick to release. No, instead, sh's going to lean up, catch her lips - and then she'll be the one to poke her tongue out, teasin the other's lips.

Her talons still scratching, itching. Encircling. ]
