Week 6.

[trustharder]

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

[cherryblooded]

I remember. Is it already over?

[Either because he kissed her or she gave in, he wouldn't be surprised either way. They're affectionate.]

[captainobnoxious]

Mmhmm. I won. Like I knew I would.

[She doesn't have to tell him how hard it was to resist it though. That can stay a secret.]

[cherryblooded]

Congratulations. Now you can go back to kissing him all you want.

[This is one bet he doesn't really mind losing.]

[captainobnoxious]

[And from the plucking she's going on, yes. She's more than happy about it. Even a little kiss shouldn't make her that happy though, right?]

I'm sure he would've given in pretty easily if I'd told him about the challenge though. He's not good at back and forth like that, since he's... I mean it's weird, but he definitely acts like every teenager I've met here, you know?

[cherryblooded]

...Actually, I've been meaning to ask you about that.

You're thirteen years older than him, right? ...Is that a lot?

[Cherryblod can count, but making age conversions is not his forte, and at some point he just has to rely on the humans to tell him if human things are weird.]

[captainobnoxious]

... Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's not like he's old enough to be my kid or anything, but it's a lot. To certain people. Not to me.

[Sheeeee didn't even really think about it until he brought it up like that.]

[cherryblooded]

I see.

[Well, he's already given his blessing, it's not like he's going to take that back...]

Well, he's an adult, technically speaking, so I think it's fine.

[captainobnoxious]

[....... he might be older than nineteen since he was a ghost before and now he's just a robot and man monsters are weird]

I wonder if he knows his birthday... I mean, if he doesn't, then he can just share mine and we'll grow older together. It'll be fun! Our parties are the best.

[cherryblooded]

Are they? Tell me what I can expect at a double birthday party, when I come to visit.

[Of course he's coming to visit. He wouldn't miss either of their birthdays.]

[captainobnoxious]

Music, food, and a night-long celebration filled with people, dancing, and tales from across the year. There's no sleep until we've drunken ourselves into a stupor! I mean, that won't really apply to bombshell, so...

[...]

I miiiight take the night off of drinking too hard so I can stay up with him instead. There's no harm in sleeping outside back home, so we can just... you know. Do that. Or I can do that and he can enjoy my company. I think he'd like that.

[cherryblooded]

Sounds like a fun time. You'll have to invite me to your next party so that I can tell the stories you're too embarrassed to tell and Mettaton didn't get to hear.

[Cherryblod, it doesn't work if you warn her ahead of time...]

[captainobnoxious]

You're not invited anymore.

[stay away]

[cherryblooded]

You don't mean that.

[She absolutely does mean that.]

[captainobnoxious]

I have never been more serious the entire day.

[She so means it.]

[cherryblooded]

That's cruel, Sigrun. You'll really keep me away from my son's birthday party?

[captainobnoxious]

[...... dont.... dont pull that card on her...........]

... You'll be allowed to stay until you start telling embarrassing stories.

[cherryblooded]

That's fair. I can work with that.

[He may not actually tell them if it means he'll get kicked out.

Or he'll just save them for the end of the party.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Save them for the end, because:]

You can stay the night, too, I won't send you off in the evening or anything. It's too dangerous. Especially in the water. You'll leave once the sun's nice and high in the sky, maaaybe accompanied by myself if I'm not away on important captain's business.

[They are, if nothing, a hospitable people.]

[cherryblooded]

You're a good host. I won't abuse your hospitality.

[So he probably won't tell more than one.]

[captainobnoxious]

[... He can get away with it as long as she doesn't hear.]

Well, you'll be an honored guest! It'd be disrespectful if we treated you any less. Even if the cats are going to go crazy around you. I'll bet you'll be the most licked person there.

[cherryblooded]

I'll take it as a compliment. - The witch my daughter works for is a cat, you know.

[Chlomaki also could probably kick troll ass, so it fits.]

[captainobnoxious]

Oh, really? That's good! Bombshell has a cat that works for him, but he's...

[... How to put it.]

Untrustworthy. I wouldn't send that cat out into the field for nothing, not even to take care of mice. And then there's another one that was convinced she was going to marry him! Yeah, right, that's such a joke.

[hahaha. ha. haha.]

[cherryblooded]

[He senses some touchiness here.]

He's a celebrity. They all get fans like that - it's not serious and it'll pass. Particularly if she ever sees what an amazing girlfriend he already has.

[captainobnoxious]

[... Maybe a little touchiness. A little. She doesn't get it outside of "well I want to be the only one he doesn't perform for" but you know what, that's fine.]

Oh, do they. Okay. [...] He's not going back to where he's from ever, but... I mean, if we can't pick and choose like I hope we can, he couldn't date me anymore. He needs to be accessible to all his fans.

Even the crazy ones who think they're destined together or whatever.

And because we'd be literal worlds apart.

[cherryblooded]

['Everyone that matters is dead back home.'

Cherryblod's smile fades a little.]

So let's hope that we can choose. For both your sakes - it'd be cruel to separate you now.

[He'll go home no matter what, of course. He has family he can't abandon, even it means there's family he might not be able to see again.]
