WEEK 2
[A week has passed. There's been no body, no investigation, no trial. No deaths. Congratulations!
Now the question is, will it last? At the moment, the Commander seems content with forcing people to do petty and mean-spirited errands in return for a mere shower. On the one hand, it's just for showers. On the other hand, what if the demands start to get more extreme? Would caving in encourage her? Is anyone willing to try and find out?
Honesty, with all the strange dates and information floating around from what's been uncovered, the only one in this place who's probably not worried as the time slips into its next movement is Sir Riprazor McRockfang. That's right, he's a sir. A grumpy sir, yes, but still a sir. No one's going to mess with him, regardless of what his true origins may be. And if they do, beware - he bites. Omnom. Good luck, everyone.
There are fifteen strangers - and one alligator - in this place.]

[Who the fuck knows in this place. But he perks up a bit at the possibility of good coffee.]
Well, then. If you're offering... it might be a little difficult to brew things properly here, but we can give it a shot.
no subject
[ He might be very tempted to pet the one on Naoya's head, honestly. ]
Actually... it's already made. [ gesturing briefly with his free hand to the cup, one corner of his lips twitching a little ] I can go find you a separate cup, if you're weird about sharing germs with me.
[ Did that need to be said in a mildly teasing tone? Nope. But it was. ]
no subject
[That's... cute. And considerate. Ugh, stop giving him feelings.]
Tch. It doesn't worry me.
[He's had worse and he is reasonably sure Akira isn't carrying some weird teenage disease. He reaches out to take the cup.]
In this place, I don't think sharing a coffee cup is going to kill me. Not with you, at least.
no subject
... Fair warning, though: it's surprisingly strong.
[ With that, he's going to settle into a chair next to him, letting the Morgana Familiar jump into his lap. ]
no subject
That's much better.
[He's been having headache trouble in this place and it sucks.]
no subject
Isn't it? [ then, quietly: ] It's definitely needed, with how little sleep I still get around here.
[ While taking a moment to stretch a bit, he gives a quiet, not-exactly-humorous laugh. ]
You... still don't sleep much, either, right?
no subject
[He shakes his head at the question.]
A little more here than I normally have over the past... six months or so, actually. It's still not much.
no subject
Well, it's good that it's more, at least...
[ He leans back in his seat a little. He's also discreetly glancing around to make sure nobody else is within listening distance. ]
I stopped sleeping much after the second week in the mall. Nightmares... I think I had them about the person who'd killed that week. Then... after the third week, they were mostly about Kurama.
[ A bitter sort of smirk surfaces. ]
And, even though it's only been over a month, I can't remember what a normal night's sleep even feels like.
no subject
[He frowns a little bit. Hm...]
I... might be able to help a little. I've had many children who... couldn't fall asleep. But I don't want to attempt to parent you - it's simply an offer.
no subject
Ah...
[ There's a moment of consideration, and then he gives a small nod. ]
Okay. [ sheepishly pressing a hand to the back of his neck ] I say it's worth a shot.
no subject
[It's dumb, to have someone essentially tuck you into bed at the age Akira's at, but... well. Desperate times, and all.]
no subject
I'm... okay with now, if you are.
