pick a god and pray

[Like the weeks before, once everyone has wandered off their separate ways, notes are posted to each room that still has a warm body in it. Only this time the writing is much messier then any other notice]

None of us feel like celebrating, but I think Yato would approve if we don't spend the night hiding out because of him
There's warmed up food in the Game Room if you're hungry. Might be best to not be alone tonight.

-Yosuke

[And as promised there's leftovers in the Game Room; and eventually fresh stuff as Tarrlok gets to work in the kitchen. Yosuke is there, trying to set something up on one of the shelves, but otherwise you are left to your own devices]

Not at all! But it's putting a good effort in, at least.

[uro_cyon]

There's precious little to do around here that would help, I think. [ Though the bar is a start, maybe.]

[ratingspoint]

[Well, yeah, for most people. Robot, though.]

Exactly! Really, though, it's almost nice to see something you're doing have an effect on something; I think that's why I'm here.

[...]

And how are you doing, darling?

[uro_cyon]

I prefer to bake. [ In absence of all his other leisure activities.

He's never going to get used to this darling thing though.]

I've been better and I've been worse.

[ratingspoint]

You know, somehow I wouldn't have taken you for the sort. That's surprisingly domestic - it's adorable.

[...He does this to everyone, if that's any consolation.]

Join the party, though - that seems to be how things are, after all the...that.

[The executions and stuff. Apparently a lot of people aren't okay with people dying?]

[uro_cyon]

[ He almost looks offended, but not quite.] I have a nephew who I need to cook for at times. I wouldn't let him eat fast food.

I'd like to say I haven't seen people executed, but I'd be lying. [ It's less the death for him and more the game itself and the dreams.]

[ratingspoint]

...Well, I wouldn't say I've seen executions, though death is something I'm pretty familiar with.

[He'd call it something else entirely.]

Though now I'm wondering why you've been around something like that, sweetheart - part of the job...?

[uro_cyon]

Is that so? [ He hasn't thought much of Mettaton, but that's an interesting tidbit to note.]

You could say that. It's part of the reason I work mostly for myself.

[ratingspoint]

Oh, it's definitely so.

[And probably why he's usually...reasonably unfazed by the actual death happening in front of him, despite the fact that he's a damn celebrity who doesn't like unpleasant things. Who knows.]

I've noticed your occupation on your profile is...interesting. And likely not something you'd prefer broadcast to everyone like that.

[uro_cyon]

[Hm.]

I'd prefer it to be hidden, yeah. But even in Chicago they know my face. [It would sure make things easier, but when it came down to it, no one really knew anything concrete about him.]

[ratingspoint]

It's good that you're at least a bit used to it then, sweetheart! Because it looks like none of us are going to get to keep secrets around here.

[The past few trials have been proof enough of that, haven't they.]

[uro_cyon]

I'm doing a pretty good job so far. [Just a bit of a smirk.]

[ratingspoint]

Well, broadcast it like that and you're just going to make me curious.

[uro_cyon]

Guess you'll have to wait and see.

[ratingspoint]

I'll be looking forward to it.
