trusthell | Week 6.

WEEK 6
The number of Survivors left is dropping at a quick pace; the King got what he wanted, for better or for worse; Tarrlok and Lynne were victims of both fate and some sort of magic that most in the Vault still don't quite understand, and Misa Amane has been executed, not for her particular brand of "justice", but for murdering two innocent people.

It's been a bad week.

However, 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 sixth floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; you've done well. You've earned it.

SURVIVORS REMAINING: 14

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Heh, sounds good! It's weird, I've never had to really think about this much. We've had the same shrine since before I was born so...

[He assumes he'll have to get one for his own home once he moves out, but it's never really occurred to him before]

[She's gonna make all the cat statues. Tiny cats.]

I don't think about it too much either. We just use the places that're left over from the old world and stuff like that.

[... That said, the chapel is still a weird place, since she herself prefers just to do a thing in her own room.]

Are your shrines passed down? Doesn't that disrupt the gods?

Well, the house shrines are more for our family members then any specific gods. So like, when my parents die or move in with me I'll take over it's upkeep.

[He makes a face at that idea: he's only 18 he doesn't wanna think about that]

[Ohhh. Huh.]

Sounds like an honor. It means you're trusted to keep up tradition, even if it might seem like a pain. You do a pretty good job with the little thing we've got for them now too.

Well I AM the eldest son... I mean, I'm the only kid period but still. And well... you know, it's nice, having something that I do everyday, yeah?

[Only kid buddies!!! Sigrun is so happy. Look at her.]

Yeah! I know what you mean! I mean, for both of those actually, I'm an only child too so it's pretty much on my head to do a lot of this and that and carry on the family name and what not, and it's nice to have a routine in a place like this. Keeps you sane. Mostly.

Sometimes I wonder if that's all that IS keeping some of us sane...

I'm sure just talking to someone helps them out too.

[... Like she Knows something, which is quickly uncovered by a shoulder bump.]

Thanks for taking care of kitten. Buuuut your sneaking sucks, you know.

...!

[Oh god kill him now. Save him RNG gods]

I-it wasn't what it looked like!

Well, now that's suspicious. I just assumed you two were hanging out, but if something happened, I'd like to know.

[It's almost threatening. Almost. Black's her charge bro.]

It really wasn't like that! Honest!

[His voice drops to something sad and legit worried]

...I mean, hell, the guy just remembered his sister is dead... I'm not like that.

[...that does kinda imply that he's not against the idea over all. If Yosuke notices his implications it doesn't show]

[... Well, it's not like Sigrun's gonna bully him about it, it's perfectly a-okay by her. She's just kind of happy that Black has a chance see kitten she told you he'd come around. It's something to tease her glasses child about.]

And you're a good guy for it, Yosuke. [She'll ruffle his hair. His fakey-fake hair.] I'm glad Black's got a friend like you, someone closer to his age he can just hang around with and not call miss or mister. I know you'll do right by him too.

Ngh, Sigrun!

[He looks about ready to bolt from implication alone]

What? I just mean that you'll treat him well! Since he got bullied a lot when he was younger, I mean, I bet he didn't have many friends growing up and all.

[Sheesh. Like, she absolutely was giving her blessing, but still.]

...yeah, he mentioned that back at the speed date. I don't get why- he's a nice guy.

[Yosuke knows he can be kinda clingy and pushy and tactless- so as much as he denies it, he at least deep down knows why HE never had a lot of deep friendships before Inaba. But Black isn't him.

Or maybe he's biased]

Right? Really fun to be around, too, and to tease the living daylights out of. He's one of my favorite people here. Like, third favorite maybe.

[...]

But sometimes people just don't know how to make friends with others. It kind of means they have to open themselves up even a little, and he might not be the kind of person who does that really easily. The fact he's shared anything with anyone here is really nice then, don't you think?

[He nods slowly]

He does take awhile to open up. I half had to trick him last night.

Yeah? How'd you trick him? I usually just push him around until he says something.

[... Because she's a steamroller.]

Not exactly a trick, but more he didn't want to tell me anything until I took a shot in the dark and guessed right.

I... didn't expect it to be as bad as it was.

[Oooooh. Oooooooooh. Okay.]

He said he got all his tears out by the time I came around. Guess he might've taken a lot of it out on you. [...] Do me a favor and keep an eye on him for me? I figure you might do it anyway, good man that you are, but... I'll owe you one if you can keep his mind off of things somehow.

I'll try. [You don't gotta convince him, Sigrun] It's at least something I'm pretty good at.

You're also good at swearing. Now, I don't have a problem with it, because the gods know I have a mouth to be proud of, but it's so weird to hear him curse. You know?

Get him more used to doing it so he doesn't back out after he says something.

[He snorts in surprised laughter]

Has he dropped an f-bomb on you yet?

Nope. Has he done it around you?

Y e p.

I mean, it was a joke but I still thought he was gonna explode from it.

[it was really cute]
