WEEK 9.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 9 The only two deaths this past week were due to rule violations; Bruce Wayne and Kimihiro Watanuki have joined the deceased. The deceased, however, still seem to be among you - that is, if Noir is to be believed. Either way, one thing is clear: for the first time in two months, a week has passed where no one has murdered. With no trial, Saturday is relatively quiet. 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... Once again, there are no new floors available to you; is this a good sign, or just claustrophobic? Either way, the air has been seeming a little heavier nowadays, despite the lack of murder - but who knows, maybe it's all in your head. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 8

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[Her face softens instantly.]

Come in, Silver. ...Elda? Do you mind, if we have him over for the night?

[matchbreaker]

[ Yes. ]

... No, I suppose not.

[ With a sigh. ]

[feistytrader]

Thanks. ...And sorry if I'm interrupting something.

[Since you two, are, you know... Anyway.]

Let me grab some pillows.

[He'll be back in a moment.]

[oyashiromama]

[He's a fast boy. Hanyuu will pat his head when he returns, though before he leaves she does offer:] Not at all, dear boy.

[...and then turns to Elda, voice low-]

Thank you. I know that couldn't have been easy, but- ...I'm sure he's scared.

[matchbreaker]

... Do not mock me. That boy is as much mine as yours, if not more so.

[ She... is blushing though, now managed to change into her jammies entirely, and back to patting her hair, now facing the door. ]

He simply seems too old to need a parent.

[oyashiromama]

[Hanyuu will speak while going to the bathroom - time to maneuver into her pajamas while not getting them soaked from her hair.]

Mm, he carries himself well, but... [She doesn't want to...share too much, but-] Age has nothing to do with it. It seems to me, when a parental figure would have done him good, he had few to turn to, so...I'll open my door any time, especially given the circumstances.

[matchbreaker]

Even without asking for my consent?

[ She shoot back, quipping just a little as she calls into the bathroom, trying to mat down her hair more.

... Elda's top is already wet, there was no escape ]

[oyashiromama]

[Aah... She thinks a moment.]

...You said so yourself, he is perhaps even more yours. Would you really turn him away?

[matchbreaker]

... Well no, I would not.

[ Sigh. ]

Though it does seem strange to have in in my bed.

[oyashiromama]

It's not at all, don't fret. It's for comfort. Aah, every so often at night Rika snuggles up by my futon in her sleep, it's honestly the most relaxing and assuring thing.

[...because her little sweet girl has grown into a little troll but-]

[feistytrader]

[Silver is back! ...Well, he's not back first, as Weavile returns first, then Aibo, then Honchkrow and finally Polibo. The four of them all leap right onto Hanyuu and Elda's bed and make themselves comfortable. Polibo was polite enough to bring a blanket, at least. Silver heads in behind them, looking pretty damn exasperated.]

Guys, she didn't even say you could...

[Uh. He brought pillows!]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda was about to respond to Hanyuu when suddenly Silver s back and then some fucking animals call come in and get on her bed as she's still drying off her hair and what the fuck.

What.

The fuck.

SHE- bares her fangs at them, to assert dominance. ]

I should have seen that coming.

[oyashiromama]

[?!? Hanyuu rushes out of the bathroom at that noise, having wrestled with her wet hair enough and gotten changed, and...

Ah.]

Aah... Au. Hello, all of you. [...She'll walk over and pet Weavile and Aibo.]

[feistytrader]

[Mugetsu, you're the only well behaved one, staying by his neck and oh there he goes too.]

I'm sorry.

[Why are you guys like this. Aibo and Weavile appreciate being pet, but Honchkrow's going to butt in to try to get pet too. ...Polibo waits politely, at least.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Are you punks ignoring her.

And crowding her off the bed? ]

[oyashiromama]

[Th- there's enough for you too, Honchcrow- and Mugetsu, oh no there are too many--]

N-now, now there's room enough...for everyone...

[help]

[feistytrader]

[Weavile finally acknowledges Elda and hops right in her lap; Aibo settles down next to her to sit in the center, while Polibo gets comfy closer to her legs.

Silver picks up Honchkrow and finds a corner to get settled in, however; he's got his pillow on the wall to lean back on. ...There isn't enough room for him, and he's imposing. He can take the floor.]

[matchbreaker]

[ WHO SAID- you could all get so close to her?! She sort of swats a little at aibo before she catches herself, doesn't even think to resist Weavile, and then... Just sort of sighs at Polibo. Ugh, man. ]

We took in a boy and got a zoo, didn't we?

[oyashiromama]

This is probably something I should have foreseen... [But Hanyuu doesn't look too bothered, giving Polibo some pets as well.]

Oh, Silver, you can come closer, you know? I wouldn't want you all the way over there.
