WEEK 1

[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.

...Right?

In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?


Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.


There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[Watching you.

what are you doing with dat dere knife bruh]

hmmm~ how about we say he asked if they could move it to today? :3c

[beguiledcard]

[ He nods! ]

And if anything comes up, I'll let you know.

[ The Morgana familiar is very happy with the petting!! It's eventually going to flop over onto its side and briefly nuzzle her foot. ]

[beguiledcard]

Either it's small or it's done in a way that goes unnoticed. For... me, my memories were altered so that I couldn't remember an entire period of time. I... thought I was from an earlier point than I really was, and...

[ Ugh... he can't really explain it, since there are so many gaps this time. He feels like his mind could be compared to swiss cheese, and that it would still be too generous. ]

It definitely felt easier, last time...

[earietale]

[She lets out a sad laugh.]

Yeah, pretty much.

At least most of the people here are nice. We could be stuck with a bunch of jerks.

Let’s do it!

[earietale]

Same here.

[Oh gosh that’s cute. She’s definitely going for some tummy rubs if she can.]

[earietale]

[That’s...still worrying. She really hopes that she didn’t forget something that happened between when she thinks she’s from and coming here, but...there’s not much she can do if that’s the case.

For now, all she can do is try to make things alright here as much as possible.]

Well, maybe it won’t be too hard here. It’s...probably not going to be easy, but as long as we just stay calm and talk it out, it could be alright. Okay?

[crouching_sin]

[He's quiet for a good long while before putting a hand on the other's shoulder if Akira doesn't move away.]

Someone taking their life is not your fault. It's not as if you had the opportunity to stop it, correct? There was nothing you could do.

... Which I know is the worst part, yes.

[backuphero]

Given how she talks? I don't know there's ever been one as let her stay.

[theserpentsmiles]

I don't know if there are instructions on the packaging.... It's kind of a niche market. [He didn't examine the packaging closely enough.] It's not hard, though. Just adding hot or cold water.

[theserpentsmiles]

Then maybe we should question how many she's entered in the first place.

[theserpentsmiles]

[Oh, good, this might help decipher that other one. We definitely have a science buff on our hands... This could be very useful stuff later.

Alright...so how did mars try to kill us?]

[crouching_sin]

This isn't even an advantage for them, it's just frustrating.

[... Huh. So Akira can be pushed. Interesting to know.]

[backuphero]

[It's not alive but it's not dead but it's staring, it's creepy, where's a cute witch with Chain Lightning equipped when you need one?

He just wants to pick it back up. But this is... if he touches it, he's getting shot, probably. He's in a Mexican Standoff with a robot, and he might be the one to back off. Not before taking one more half-step towards the knife, though, not before seeing what that provokes, if anything.]

[crouching_sin]

I haven't found any duct tape, so I've been using wrappers from the rations to stuff in the holes and one with some cut holes to use as a showerhead. You have to hold it, but like you said, it's better than dealing with her.

[theserpentsmiles]

I'm not surprised, since it's Tokyo. They'd have to cater to tourists a bit. [Just by sheer bulk.]

Though...this kitchen's stock is a little more obscure than just a foreign language...

[theserpentsmiles]

[....He seriously considers not answering. It's not something he's brought up to anyone before, not ever, and it.....still hurts. He's used to it, but... Something about Akira is easy to talk to, and maybe Nagisa is just a bit tired.] ....who got bored of me.

They weren't - but we were under threat of it. It's...probably fine to talk about now, since the cat's out of the bag. [Unless that's why Nagisa is here, in this base. That's a very sobering thought he'll come back to later.]

[backuphero]

Okay, that's true, but sometimes it can be for building bonds between people, or just... taking your mind off of a bad time.

[he just wants to see how someone who doesn't know what ice cream is reacts to it, now. but oh god, that matter-of-fact attitude makes him feel super-guilty.]

[theserpentsmiles]

Are you not a professional, then? [Could have fooled him!]

[mementodagger]

[Yurick huffs softly, the flustered moment passing as quickly as it came.]

That's why some people drink, often to excess. And I was never one to socialize in the taverns.

[backuphero]

Yeah, it could definitely be worse...

[His voice trails off, but after a short silence - ]

If it's not something you'd rather forget about... what'd you do before here? Just school, or... what?

[earietale]

Well, it’s probably gonna be difficult, but it doesn’t look like anything here will be easy.

Do you want to walk with me or should I just go and grab the stuff?

[She sort of wants to properly introduce herself, but he doesn’t seem like the most sociable, so...*shrug*]

[earietale]

Just...the usual stuff you’d expect for a teenager, I guess. School, worked at a diner, kept my brothers from doing anything too stupid, you know.

But...when I was younger, there was one thing that was more interesting.

[She’s not really sure if he wants to hear her...complain? Reminisce? Talk about her past and be sad, really.]

[strangerpeople]

[Its eye dilates, but otherwise, for the moment at least, it doesn't seem to react to Jonathan's moves other than to watch.]

[backuphero]

[She just let him talk about his family for like half an hour, he's genuinely interested to hear about her life!]

It sounds... really nice, honestly. Calm, if you can be when you've got brothers... not that I do, but stories travel....

What was that other thing, though?

[backuphero]

Some people go for comfort food instead of boozing it up. And this isn't exactly a tavern.

[He can't help but laugh a little bit with that last word.]
