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

[It takes him a moment to actually...process that, hold on, he has legitimately no idea where this came from.]

I didn't think...

[...]

Well...all right, I thought that maybe that was part of it - missing your daughter or your family, I mean. Maybe. But I've never thought it had to do with being fundamentally selfish.

[...]

Darling, I'm fundamentally selfish. If that were the case, you wouldn't bother in the first place, because you wouldn't care about what it looked like to me or anyone else.

[A quick shake of his head.]

Lobco's away travelling most of the time now anyway, and I don't normally do this when she's gone. Doloz - I miss her, but that's not why.

I know what my reasons are. [Mostly.] I just needed to know that you knew.

[ratingspoint]

...I know, sweetheart. And I believe you.

[cherryblooded]

Alright. Thank you.

[Still going to absolutely wring the Kingmaker's neck when he gets a chance, but that's really nothing new.

Cherryblod settles back down a little, poking idly at a piece of tumbleweed.]

You can talk to me, you know.

[cherryblooded]

I talk to you all the time.

[What do you mean that's not what he means.]

[ratingspoint]

I mean actual talking. Not like I usually talk to people.

[cherryblooded]

...I know, dear. You're very kind to me and I'm glad.

[Because - like he says, it's not how he usually talks to people.]
