WEEK 8.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 8 Orihime Inoue and Mikazuki Munechika are dead thanks to the Wordsmith's motive. While only two have died this past week, it feels much emptier around here now. There's only ten of you left. There's so few of you now. 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... Unfortunately, regardless of how well you may or may not have done this week, it seems that there's nothing else for you here. No new floors have opened up below the seventh; it looks like for now, that truly is all. Perhaps it's a good sign. Perhaps it's one of the worst yet. Only time will tell.

I wouldn't cry over something like that, I already know you can't eat food.

[He sounds a bit miffed at the suggestion, actually.]

[matchbreaker]

I don't know, you are pretty sensitive, Kimihiro.

[foundfate]

[Just. This face.]

Sensitive to you bullshitting me, maybe.

[matchbreaker]

Come now, when have I ever lied to you?

[foundfate]

I think you just did, when you said 'no.'

[matchbreaker]

I've no reason to taste ash for mere curiosity!

[foundfate]

No, but you thought about what it might taste like, didn't you? 'Wanting to try something' and 'being able to try something' are two different things.

[matchbreaker]

We didn't have such things when I was young! [ :T ] Sure, we were minor nobility, but sugar was still something of a luxury.

[foundfate]

What about carrot cake? Carrots were used as a sweetener long before sugar was, right?

[matchbreaker]

A... ah, yes, I do recall that. And Turkish delight, though that's not very similar, is it?

[ Hmmm. ]

Ah, I had a toffe, once!

[foundfate]

Toffee would be a good comparison, then. Imagine the cookies being sweet like toffee is.

[matchbreaker]

You ask me to recall ancient memories, you know.

[ She laughs a little at that, but she does draw circles on the counter with her fingernail. Okay... let's see... what did that taste like... ]

[foundfate]

That should be no trouble for someone as spry as you!

[No he's not grinning at his own dumb joke, why would you think that?]

[matchbreaker]

Aww, I appreciate the compliment! But not from someone less than half my age, it sounds patronizing!

[ With a laugh. ]

[foundfate]

[WAVING HER OFF]

What's a few hundred years between friends?

[matchbreaker]

Are you being bold in calling us friends in the first place?

[foundfate]

You just spent several minutes trying to figure out how sweet a food is, a food that you will never be able to eat, because I happened to be the one who made it. You tell me if that makes us friends or not.

1/3

[matchbreaker]

[ Wait- ]

[matchbreaker]

[ - Don't you entrap her!

She growls, and reaches for something to throw at him! It's... It ends up being an orange. For some reason ]

3/3

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . But she won't throw the orange, instead sort of flicking it towards his end of the counter so he'll be forced to catch it ]

Do not be so presumptuous! Besides, what have you done for me like that in return?

[foundfate]

[You know how he used to flinch away any time she did the angry thing? Yeah he doesn't even blink at it this time. Instead he just waits her out, only speaking after she asks her question.]

I'd like to say I helped you get friendlier, but I know that wasn't entirely my work. Hmm...What would you have me do in return, then?

[matchbreaker]

You're a real brat this week, aren't you?!

[ Even if you may or may not be using watashi idk you tell me.

... But she laughs it off anyway ]

[foundfate]

[He definitely is, and has been the entire conversation.]

Sorry, I can't help but be me.

[matchbreaker]

Not to mention putting on airs! Yeeesh, are you trying to go for dignified, after all this?!

[foundfate]

[He shrugs.]

You know how old I am, I had to grow up at some point.

[100 years of memories at once can be quite a thing.]
