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]

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.

[captainobnoxious]

Beeecause we're good for each other?

[cherryblooded]

More or less. And besides - even if it doesn't work out romantically, I think you'll always be close friends.

[captainobnoxious]

Well, duh, we're still close friends even if we're dating. How can you not be? It doesn't make much sense to date someone you're not close to or can't trust to not kill you in your sleep.

[cherryblooded]

I agree completely - it's just that sometimes when people break up, it upsets the friendship they had before.

[Which sucks, frankly.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Oh.]

Why? Do they suddenly forget how to have friends or something? Because that sucks.

[cherryblooded]

It's not that, exactly. It's more like - breakups can be perfectly amiable if you both decide it's not working out, but sometimes they're not. One side or both gets hurt feelings, and it makes it hard to go back to their previous friendship.

[captainobnoxious]

... Well, I feel like I don't want that to happen, so I'm not going to let it. If we break up then it'll be a nice one.

[Not that... she wants to think about it in the first place, really, because Sigrun has a lot of fun with Mettaton and there's a lot that makes her have stupid feelings and want to punch herself in the stomach to get rid of them but she keeps doing things to get that feeling again so, you know. It'd be disappointing. Even if nothing changed between them minus a few things...]

Can't say I'd be very happy about it though. Maybe it's because I'm new to this whole thing and all, but I really want to just stay like this? I'm fine. If he wasn't, then I'd, you know, I'd respect that, but mostly I'd want to do something to fix that.

[Like a compromise. Huh. Wow.]

[cherryblooded]

That's one of the reasons I think you two will be be fine.

[Cherryblod has seen some nasty breakups, but Mettaton and Sigrun just don't seem the type, especially if they ever learn to actually talk.]

[captainobnoxious]

[THEY'RE LEARNING TO TALK RIGHT NOW AND I WISH THEY HADN'T]

Oh. Okay. Thanks. I'll take good care of your son then and by the time we're married maybe he'll have let up on his "I don't care" shtick.

[cherryblooded]

[EMOTIONAL PAIN]

You absolutely have to invite me to the wedding. Won't forgive you if you don't.

[captainobnoxious]

[SHE'S NEVER WANTED TO KILL A HUMAN MORE NGL]

-- I was just joking! I mean, marriage? [a-ahaha, haha] Yeah, right! No way. That's just-- you know, that's too weird.

[cherryblooded]

Oh, I see.

[He absolutely does not believe her.]

...But if you do get married I have to be there. That's non-negotiable.

[captainobnoxious]

[shrimpdad please dating a robot is one thing smooching a ghost is another but she has a line to carry on]

Yeah, well. Don't look forward to it. Marriage is an "I'll get to it eventually" kind of thing. And we have more important things to deal with anyway?

[cherryblooded]

[Shrimpdad please, in general.]

I'm not expecting you to get married in here. If you were my age I'd say 'give it twenty years', but you're not, so maybe a bit less than that.

[captainobnoxious]

[He's usually so good in her book.]

I mean, even back where I'm from! Like, can you even imagine? Nah, no way, nope.

...

He probably wouldn't anyway. I mean, that guy's more likely to get married to himself, so hey I am gonna get going, I have practice and breakfast and I wanted to stop by the machine that spits out that items and-- you know? I got places to be. So. I'll talk to you later.

[she's trying to her hardest to leave in a politeish manner look at that]

[cherryblooded]

[He can tell. She's not all that subtle.]

Alright, I'll let you go to do your important things. Have a good day.
