Week 2

WEEK 2

[It's been one week on the Gigantic
and it's clear that Zero
is a big dickzzzzzsht



A week has passed. However, there is no denying anymore that the power Zero possesses is very real. One person is already dead because of this, regardless of what, exactly, the Gimme's role in it was.

There is also no denying that the ship is somehow powered by blood, if not made of blood entirely. Why? How? And what do the clues uncovered in the previous week have to do with it?

The watches, meanwhile have not changed in any way. Everyone is still in their color groups. The doors to the next floor are still locked as well. Perhaps those are also murder dependent. Which is...also not good. But at least there's food and laundry down here, so...maybe it'll get boring eventually, but for now, infinite confinement on the bottom decks of the ship may not be so bad. right?

...Right?



There are currently 18 strangers on this ship.]

[Burying his face in his hand! ...Too bad his pointed ears are still visible.]

I miss my helmet...every demonic species or unique devil has different biology.

CW: Allusions to Homophobia

[threwabone]

[...okay, maybe she should back up a little bit.]

If this is about me saying you like a guy, I'm not trying to joke about that. I don't what it's like in Hell, or in a...Super Sentai world, but uh...let's just say I hope they're not like my world, for things like that.

As far as I'm concerned, you can like whoever you want. I'm not going to judge.

[superstylishsquid]

......Oh, right, that is a thing humans get hung up on.

Gender isn't really a thing most devils even care about, except the ones who used to be human. I don't have any preference between men and women, I just have standards higher than...that.

[threwabone]

Okay, just wanted to clear that up.

Because I don't know if your standards are really that high.

[Back to your regularly scheduled teasing.]

[superstylishsquid]

[Tail lashing!]

They're high enough that I'm not going to be attracted to an idiot who needs to be reminded his actual girlfriend is waiting for him to come find her.

[threwabone]

[Oh. Right. The guy has a girlfriend. She forgot about that...

Actually, there's something that's been bothering her for a bit-]

Okay, this will sound random, but what exactly is her name? The girlfriend.

[superstylishsquid]

Silvia, why?

[threwabone]

[...

*Looks at watch*

*Looks at Alastor's profile*

*Looks back at Alastor*

*Back to the watch*]

Okay, that's more complicated than I expected.

[superstylishsquid]

[Yeah, she's not the only one who's looked at the profiles...]

Lemme guess, you expected a certain amount of...dislike, between me and my rival's girlfriend?

We've actually gotten along since our first meeting.

[threwabone]

Well, that, and if both her and that Joe guy are on here, I'm...not sure what that means.

[Crushes? Mutual respect? Can't just be neutral feelings if they're likes, so what more could it be?

[superstylishsquid]

Well, I am pretty fond of Silvia. She's nice company, and impressively gutsy for a human.

[threwabone]

[She looks at her watch again. Thinking...]

You know what, if you can think of a reason why Joe is listed as one of your likes without you having a crush on him, I'll let it drop.

[For now, anyway. She may be planning to have a conversation with Hermes at some point.]

[superstylishsquid]

I do consider him a worthy rival...that's something I'd been looking for for a while. He's embarrassing to know and a real headache at times, but he does have the instincts of a hero and the power to actually provide a challenge.

[threwabone]

Good enough.

Have fun with that "Not Crush" going on with him.

[Going to leave before he can make more comments. Hermes will have some more work for his chart...]
