WEEK 6



[Fifteen X-Passes. You've finally done it. You can now go free. However, the price has been steep. Too steep.




True, you can leave. Anyone can, now. But simply leaving may be a bad idea. After all, who knows what else Zero has up its sleeve? Who knows what's outside of the HMHS Gigantic? How will they survive? How will they eat? And those are the easy questions that need to be answered. After all, the mystery of Zero, the mystery of Zack, the mystery of who is the cause of all of this and why-those things are also seemingly impossible to answer without some preparation. There's also the new area that's opened up that may yet yield more for the survivors to mull over.


Rushing is surely a bad idea. It's time to prepare. Take the time to get ready for whatever is outside. Stock up on supplies. Write what needs to be written. Say what needs to be said. Get ready for the possibility that whatever is out there, whatever the answers are-they will not be easy, and they will not be quick.


More than that, but-where are all these cuts coming from on your body? Hm. Maybe you keep bumping into things or scratching too hard. Did everyone save Roland get super clumsy or something all of a sudden?


Well. Maybe the answers to all that are just around the corner. So. Let's get ready. The end is near.


There are 8 9 strangers currently on this ship.



Wait. Nine?]

Captain's Quarters Investigation

[godspiousjasper]

[ He's had time to recover enough that he feels like walking around, since he isn't dizzy anymore. There's a bandage on his cheek and as always? Alastor is present with him, just incase anything... odd happens.

Though.. he isn't expecting how nice it looks in here compared to the pod room, but considering it's spacious nature? Going to spread out a bit to check things out. ]

...This is quite nice... can't say I was expecting that.

[ Okay. Time to start looking around!! ]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, where to first?]

[godspiousjasper]

[ Checking out the Living Room area first! It seems like the most logical place to start and he's wanting answers. ]

[strangerpeople]

[Well.

He'll see something on the couch!]

[godspiousjasper]

[ Going to just walk over to try and get a good look at that.

Just what is it, exactly?? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Its a...photograph. Hm.]

So early Sunday it's still practically the afterparty

[pegasinister]

[well, he can't hide in Kira's room forever. So eventually he just... walks out, wheezing a bit, and standing in the doorway of the dining area.

What to even say? How to explain when even HE doesn't know what happened?]

[godspiousjasper]

[ While he doesn't know who the two young men in the photo were, this definitely seemed important.

Just to be safe, Roland flipped the photo around to see if there was anything on the back. ]

[strangerpeople]

[There is only sub rosa written on it.]

[godspiousjasper]

[ While he wasn't really allowed to move around a lot, due to that his head was still spinning a bit from that hit that sent him off the stage? The second he spots Hubert??

A second passes. Then another.

Any injuries be damned, Roland just pushes himself to his feet and rushes over, eyes wide. Was he imagining this? He'd... He'd... ]

Hubert?? Is that... really you? I... I thought I'd..

[godspiousjasper]

...Sub Rosa? Hm.. How strange...

[ Going to very carefully tuck the photo in his breast pocket where he knows it won't get damaged. It was possible the others might know who those two were. Though he's sure going to look around for anything that might stand out nearby, given that photo. ]

[pegasinister]

You did. There is an orb of some sort that Kira had. I don't... I don't know how it happened.

[godspiousjasper]

[ There's a second where that surprise lingers, then he just moves in to carefully hug Hubert. VERY much aware of the wounds he sustained from his last interaction with Zack. ]

Thank the heavens. I had felt awful that I could only do that much for you... to make it quick so you wouldn't suffer.

[ Yet Hubert being here meant he couldn't be with Aoi and that was also a painful thing to think about. That said? ]

I'm glad you're here. It's a miracle.

[strangerpeople]

[Actually, there is something else that stands out, on the coffee table.]

[godspiousjasper]

[ Alright! He'd caught sight of something before, so of course he's going to try and take a better look at whatever that was now.

What is it?? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Its...another photograph!


Though, this one is a bit, er, maimed.]

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes casually walks by, arms covered in red circuity lines.]

Hi, Hubert!

[exequte]

[Akane freezes when she sees him, her eyes going huge.]











Hubert????

[...]

[STOPS]

[BACKS UP.]

...

[...Pokes...? Dis real?]

[godspiousjasper]

[ He immediately frowned upon seeing the blood and the state of this particular photo, not recognizing the location there but it appeared to truly be quite old at the very least. Like something that would have come from around his own time. ]

What in God's name...?

[ The fact it was ruined like this sure didn't bear anything positive, but hey. He turned it over, half expecting it will have blood on the back of it too. ]
