Week 5.

[trustharder]

WEEK 5 Three more have joined the deceased this past week. Taichi Yagami was punished for breaking a rule, Megumi Sakura was killed, and Norman Bates... well, the less said about Norman, the better. A third of you are dead now; your losses are becoming more and more evident with each passing week. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. But that doesn't mean the night was uneventful - it seems something else may have brought you some newfound clarity. Or perhaps not... Once again, that spiral staircase leads farther than you remember, clear up to a previously inaccessible fifth floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; you'll probably need the distraction after the last trial. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 18 SURVIVORS REMAINING: 17

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[cherryblooded]

Can't exactly make him get drunk with us, but I'll make sure he parties and doesn't close himself off too much.

...Unless he gets drunk off of oil, or something like that.

[captainobnoxious]

I don't know. You can embarrass him if you...

[...]

Nevermind. Just keep his spirits up, even if he can't get drunk.

[cherryblooded]

You won't even tell me how to embarrass my own son? You're cruel.

[captainobnoxious]

It's a se-cret. I can't have you embarrassing him if I just found out about it myself!

[Though she's looking really giddy about it anyway. Try it. Ask. Pry a little. Convince her. She's dying to say something.]

[cherryblooded]

I'll make you smoked salmon again if you tell me.

[Does bribery work?]

[captainobnoxious]

[It sure does.]

Kissing.

[cherryblooded]

[On one hand, that's unfair, he can't do that. On the other hand-]

That's adorable!

[captainobnoxious]

I know! I'm going to kiss him every chance I get just to see if he stays that way or gets used to it.

[She may enjoy embarrassing him a little too much. And Mettaton's a glutton for smoochy punishment anyway.]

Even asking him about it makes him stumble over his words! It's actually really cute!

[cherryblooded]

That is the cutest thing I have ever heard of. Please continue doing that, he needs some embarrassment in his life.

[This is the best day he's had in a while.]

[captainobnoxious]

Oh don't worry, I plan on it. And I really want to see if he'll smooch me first sometime.

[... Since she's been the one initiating it... Not that she has an issue with it, honestly, but it'd just be kind of adorable for him to try.]

[cherryblooded]

He might someday! Tell me as soon as he does how adorable it was.

[captainobnoxious]

There's no one else I'd rather tell.

[Since Black seems weirdly weirded out by her talking about things like that.]

We're okayish now, by the way. If you've been dying to know. Neither of us apologized for anything [did anyone expect them to] and we ended up just "stargazing" in his room until I fell asleep.

[... and she kissed him... and his soul...... she smooched the ghost]

He's a stubborn asshole, but I like that about him.

[cherryblooded]

I'm glad you two made up. Knew you would, but it's nice to hear.

[He doesn't think there was a lot to apologize for on either side. It's just one of those things.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Yeah, well. You know. Could've. Didn't.]

... Is it alright if the reason's as stupid as that I wanted to be able to hang out with him still? Because I got really tired of not seeing him. It still feels stupid. Kind of.

[cherryblooded]

That's not a stupid reason. Arguing with your significant other feels terrible because you love them, even when they're frustrating you to no end, and you just want it to stop.

[captainobnoxious]

[...... love..... misa mentioned something like that too]

I guess hundred of years would teach you that nicely, huh. Well, if you say it's not stupid then I'll believe you.

[It's just kind of uncomfortable talking about this right now okay this is still a Thing she's getting really used to.]

[cherryblooded]

[One thing Cherryblod and Misa can still agree on.]

The important thing is that you dealt with it, in whatever way you decided to deal with it, and moved on. Every couple has disagreements. Even Doloz and I do.

[captainobnoxious]

[If their relationship can be rebuilt on Sigrun's lovelife please let it be.]

Past the time she beat your ass?

[cherryblooded]

Even after we married! We just settle it like reasonable adults.

[captainobnoxious]

... By kissing each other?

[If that's an easier way than doing what she did and swallowing her massive fucking pride to tell a story of failure she'd very much like to skip to it.]

[cherryblooded]

Normally we talk in a civilized tone about why we're upset and how we can come to some sort of compromise that makes us both feel better.

Then, yes, we usually kiss.

[captainobnoxious]

[NO..... JUST TELL HER SHE CAN LITERALLY KISS HIM BETTER.]

Well, I guess everyone's different.

[... because she's not really sure she could put herself out as that vulnerable again it was fucking weird 0/10 do not recommend telling someone you care immensely if they care about you or not]

What if it keeps happening? Do you just not talk about it or what?

[cherryblooded]

If it keeps happening, there's probably some bigger root problem you're not aware of or addressing? So you need to try and figure out what that is.

Hate to have to break this to you, but relationships usually require a lot of talking.

[captainobnoxious]

[Don't mind if she just lays her head down.]

That'll be fun when it happens, I guess. If it happens. Bombshell's really good at talking and then... not saying anything. I'll trap him into it somehow. I mean, I've faced scarier things before, something like that will be easy.

[cherryblooded]

[Believe him, he knows how Mettaton can say a lot of things without saying anything of substance.]

You'll do alright. I have faith in you two.
