Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind

Please join us in the greenhouse should you feel able or need company. There will be food and comfort. None of us should be alone right now.

-Hanyuu, Jasper, and Silver


[That's the note that gets slid under everyone's doors after such a somber and saddening trial; it's not like it's going to be a big ordeal anymore given how few of them there are, but that doesn't mean that they should spend it alone.

The location of their setup is the greenhouse! ...The greenhouse has had a new addition; there is a massive blanket fort set up using an absurd amount of rope, blankets, and duct tape. The blankets span across three trees to make a considerable amount of space roughly shaped like a triangle for them to hang out under. Under the fort is a small pile of scissors taken from the sewing and art rooms. Next to them are a couple of flower crowns. They're relatively simple and don't involve many different flowers, but they're good examples of what the pile of scissors are there for.

There's also food, of course; a blanket is laid out on the floor with a large set of plates, a massive amount of eggs and rice, some of Elda's spicy fries, and... Sandwiches. Jasper's made everyone sandwiches, and the sandwiches are absolutely absurd in size due to how many cold cuts she's stacked into them. But don't worry! They aren't all meat. There's a lot of mustard, too. Luckily, they're still of a reasonably edible size.]

That's just it. I do not believe that was his intention before now.

[ . . . ]

This is an experiment to him. A callous, demented one to be sure, but often he would put out the incentive and watch the results, dispassionately. The annoyance he's shown... is different.

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I wonder if something has changed. I haven't bothered trying to write him anything in weeks. Maybe he's lost people who are willing to communicate with him. Without those people around, he's had to get... creative.

And apparently he's not very good at it.

He must be aware we're not going to cooperate with him for much longer.
matchbreaker: (WITH CRUEL INTENTIONS)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-12 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I write him somewhat regularly. I... I do not know if I will continue. He insulted me so this week.

[ And then Hanyuu's deal isn't hers to say ]

... I suspect this experiment is nearing the end for him. Given his actions, I wonder if it's not reaching the conclusion he wanted.
iaspis: (◇ you point the finger at me again)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-12 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he was hoping for some sort of despair.

If that was what he wanted, he's sorely mistaken.

[ Elda clicks her tongue. ]

Indeed, it is not.

[ . . . ]

We will defeat him, Jasper. In fact, I begin to doubt we will lose very many more of us, now.
iaspis: (✧ nothing to lose)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-12 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
My hope is that Mikazuki and Orihime will be the last.

We need our numbers, now.
matchbreaker: (Sandy Vaginas)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-12 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Elda nods and... And- ]

... I can think of few things which would be a motive to me, now.
iaspis: (◇ the lessons that you taught me)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Can you?

[She doesn't sound judgemental, just curious.]
matchbreaker: (I sense this will be useful)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-12 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ . . . ]

Assuming he can still erase people from existence, if my family was threatened-

That would be a serious choice, for me.
iaspis: (✧ nothing to lose)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-12 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I.. imagine that would be enough for a lot of people.
matchbreaker: (Notre Dame)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-12 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think.

[ Hope, more like. ]

... Regardless, though. At this point, it would be a choice. Even this week... no, perhaps more so last week. It was hard to chose inaction.

[ Or so she tells herself.

... Also she's picking out some flowers and starting to make a new crown ]
iaspis: (✧ nothing to lose)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
We need to find him before he gets a chance at something like that.

We might not have a lot of time.

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-12 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods!!

... And then holds out the crown she's been working on, half-done ]


Do you want this, when its done?
iaspis: (✧ what i thought was never real)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-13 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Jasper nods.]

Sure.

[It looks pretty! And she's not used to wearing pretty things.]
matchbreaker: (Mastermind)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-13 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Very well, then this shall be yours!

[ and it'll be a pretty one! Mostly yellow roses. But, still.

It'll look fine on her. ]
iaspis: (✧ what i thought was never real)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-15 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I've never had a flower crown before.
matchbreaker: (Adam West Show)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-15 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Nor I, actually! But it isn't to hard.

[ For her.

Sort of. ]
iaspis: (◇ guilty by association)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-16 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you want me to try making one for you?

[It's only fair.]
matchbreaker: (Rare Hits!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-16 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, please do! That would be fun!

[ She would clap but. Hands working. ]
iaspis: (✧ what i thought was never real)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-17 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She has no idea what she's doing, but here she goes! Hopefully it looks pretty.]
matchbreaker: (Tell him off more)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-17 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ One Pokémon Center jingle later...!

Elda's got hers done! As promised, it's... okay. And maybe made of number of yellow roses with an attempt to weave in some lilies ]

[Jasper doesn't actually know much about flowers, but it looks like she's using an assortment she thinks Elda will look nice with.

It takes her a little bit longer, because her hands are huge and flowers are delicate, but eventually she is successful.]
matchbreaker: (Kenn Lobb)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-18 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Honestly, she'll be flattered regardless.

... But. ]


Jasper, a question, if I may! [ this is a bit random but... ] . . . Did you find my parting words to Mikazuki to be presumptuous, or did you agree to some extent?
iaspis: (✧ nothing to lose)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-19 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's....not like we know his situation, of course. It's hard to know for certain, what he is going through, what sort of past he had. But I don't think you were wrong. We can't let our "purpose" control who we are, no matter how tempting it might be.
