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

Alright, you're on. Prepare to be humiliated!

[penduli]

[ pfft ]

I'll have you know I'm an air hockey champion. [ .............. ] I've only ever played my sister though.

[ And uh, half those times were by default because she'd get mad at him for whatever reason. WOMEN. ]

[garudynamic]

A champion, huh?

[he leans on the table like he's about to hussle pool instead of play air hockey]

Then you can't cry when-

[he moves to turn the air on, an slips from the sudden slickness of the table, cutting himself off by thumping his chest against the edge]

Oof-!

[penduli]

[ SORRY HE


he's gonna laugh his fucking ass off, sorry yosuke. ]

Are--are you okay? [ HE'S REALLY CONCERNED RIGHT NOW, PROMISE. GRANTED, IT MAY BE HARD TO TELL WITH HOW HARD HE'S LAUGHING, HOWEVER. HE IS. ]

[garudynamic]

[ Yosuke is aparently part liquid, cuz he practically oozes onto the table, face down in shame. So much so that he blocks the airjets, causing them to toss his hair around]

Yep. Yep laugh it up.

[he's fine]

[penduli]

[ What does he even do with this--well, taming his laughter to chuckles might be a really good start. Let him just. He can do this, don't worry.

...okay look he tried really hard and then he looked at Yosuke's utter shame and started up again. He's just gonna go to the other side and pull him back up, c'mon buddy. Straighten up. ]

Sorry, it's just-- [ another round of giggles--he's fine! He is! ] I'm usually the one doing... that. [ ...

well. ] If it's any consolation, you looked pretty cool before you turned the air on.

[garudynamic]

[ nope, he broke all his bones. Okay, no he does allow Black to haul him up, resting his forehead on his shoulder for a second to muffle his own bubbling laughter]

Don't... don't tell Sigrun, she'd never let me live it down.

[penduli]

Your secret's safe with me.

[ Snerk. This is so stupid to laugh over, but it's also really nice to laugh over, considering. Everything.

Once Yosuke's solid on his feet though, Black's... a little quick to move away, glancing down at the table. ]

...you still up for air hockey, or is your pride hurting too badly from your loss to the table?

[garudynamic]

[ 'he has a nice laugh'

Enough reason to keep trying for it, here]

Loss? No way, just a set back.

[penduli]

[ Okay, you get rewarded with another small laugh. ]

If you say so.

[ Back to his side then. Let's game, boyfriend.

...also I don't care who wins and who loses so go flip a coin, your call. ]

[garudynamic]

[ it's a very epic battle, clearly. One where Yosuke gets so into it that he actually rebounds a few shots right into his own goal.

Well, even without that Black woulda probably won.]

Argh, you weren't kidding!

[penduli]

[ HECK YEAH.

...this went better than expected. And Yosuke's really cute when he's into this. ]

I haven't lied to you yet, Yosuke, and I'm not planning on it any time soon. [ It's nice to win for once, mostly because he feels like he's been on a major losing streak lately. ]

[garudynamic]

My pride can't take ths, pick something else.

[huff huff he must obtain victory!]

[penduli]

[ Yes, ask the guy who just kicked your BUTT to pick another game he's probably great at.

Hmmmm, what's next... oh! ] What about pinball? The one with the highest score wins.

[garudynamic]

Holy crap, I haven't seen a legit pinball machine in years!

[Give him a second to take in the majesty.]

[penduli]

[ LOSER...........

wait, Yosuke lives in the middle of literally nowhere. Black'll let him have his moment before he speaks. ]

How good are you? [ Black has good reaction times, hence. He's good 8) ]

[garudynamic]

...not... bad?

[he too has good reactions... but also a tendency to panic under stress. Take that as you will]

[penduli]

[ ...no he'll let Yosuke win. He's cuter when he's excited, anyway. ]

You really aren't bad. I'm pretty impressed, actually.

[garudynamic]

[Black might as well have patted him on the head and called him a good boy, with how much like a pleased puppy he looks]

Heh, it's been awhile since I've actually played one]

[penduli]

[ open people are the best ]

They really don't have anything fun to do in Inaba, do they.

[garudynamic]

I told ya man. We don't even have a full time bar. The convenience store just switches over at night. Let alone anything for high schoolers.

[penduli]

[ except for solving a string of small town murders that occurred due to supernatural influences. ]

If it's any consolation, I didn't do anything fun when I was in high school either. [ ...of course he went despite the fact it isn't completely required after a certain age--no no, they'd moved to America before then. he's not a total loser.

except he also would've gone anyway ] Between homework, schoolwork, Caster training--even though I was supposed to be joining until I got a little older--I didn't really have time.

[ ...for like, almost anything. ]

Now I feel like I have too much time, honestly.

[garudynamic]

Man, you too? But if you don't keep busy this place just-

-like it's so quiet it's like it's loud? I dunno- just sitting and thinking for too long here and I want to rip my hair out.

[There's no natural sound, not creaking of a building shifting. Not enough people to fill the space. It's maddening after so long]

...though I can't say I'm surprised you were some busybody in school.

[penduli]

[ ....... ]

Well, there's a reason I keep picking up hobbies outside of reading everything in the library. Why aren't you surprised? [ because you're a nerd, black. ]

[garudynamic]

You just come off like the type?

[He smirks a little- he's not gonna SAY nerd.]
