WEEK 2

[The unfortunate death, and subsequent execution, has no doubt weighed on everyone's minds since. The dam has burst, and now, the idea that someone may kill another in this place is not just a possibility anymore. It is reality, and a very terrifying reality at that.

Yet, there is a strange side effect to the murder's aftermath. When the Titled go to sleep on Saturday evening, they will dream, even if they don't normally do so. When they wake up, their dream stays with them, and a thought comes to everyone. A realization.

Their dream had been a memory they lost. Now, they have it back, as if they had never lost it.

Nor is that the only change. They also feel just a little more confident in their power. Confident enough that they find that their ability has evolved to become stronger. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, well...

Soon enough, too, the Titled's phones start pinging, and when they open up their LIME app, they receive a simple message:]

Your Mall Map has been updated!

[And indeed, those who go to check the Food Court will find an elevator on the eastern end which leads to a brand new wing that had previously been obscured by the barrier.

Dio and Wake's information is also slightly different from before on the LIME app, but...maybe it's best not to think about it. Last week had been...disheartening.

Hopefully, this week will be better, right? Surely, this week, temptation won't win out again....right?

Well.

There's only one way to find out.

Welcome to Week 2, Titled.

There are thirteen strangers in this place.

This week's crab is Dungeness.]

[See this face, Akira? This face looks like Christmas came early.]

I have envied it since the moment I saw you as Joker. Not that I dislike my own outfit as Crow, but I do like yours better.

[ And his expression melts into something fond, a warm smile finally tugging at his lips. ]

Let's go then.

[ He'll be standing and holding out a hand for Goro. It's waiting in his room, after all. ]

[He takes that hand to pull himself to his feet, taking one extra step forward and into a kiss. Is he going to do this every time they're about to leave somewhere private? ...Probably as long as they keep their relationship a secret.]

[ The kiss has him laughing softly as he presses into a kiss, eyes closing as he slides his other hand to the back of Goro's head. He interlocks their fingers, a smile lingering even as he's pulling away from the kiss.

Gently, he tugs Goro along to the door. There's an air of hesitance in how he releases his boyfriend's hand so they can leave. ]

[He gives a soft smile at that hesitation. It's nice to know Akira hates to keep that distance between them as much as he does.]

At least our rooms are pretty close together.

[ There's a hint of sheepishness at being completely called out like that... and one hand lifts to brush through his hair. ]

Lucky us, huh?

[ He gives a soft smile. Once they're inside his room, he doesn't let himself hesitate before walking over to crouch in front of the drawer where it's being kept.

After pulling the outfit out, he holds it out for Goro, a small smile on his lips. ]

[He takes the outfit, smoothing the cloth over as he examines it. He's...very glad they're about the same size, right now.]

You weren't planning on watching me change, were you?

[Despite the chiding tone and hint of a blush, the look in his eye is teasing. He is a little flustered by the idea, but...it doesn't really bother him.]

[ Something in his expression soften as he watches it. Heh...

He really likes it that much, huh? ]

Hm?

[ Total innocence over here... until there's a very soft tug at one corner of lips. ]

Are you planning on canceling those plans?

Hmm...I guess I can let you get away with it.

[He's still a little pink, but he doesn't make any effort to hide or otherwise show real discomfort as he changes out of his mall clothes and into Akira's Thief outfit. It's not the perfect fit of Crow's garb, but neither is it uncomfortably snug. He leaves the mask off for now, as he adjusts the gloves and coat.]

How do I look?

[ Well, he's known he enjoyed wearing that outfit, but there was never really a chance to properly see himself in it. He's known he finds Goro Akechi attractive. He's known these things, and yet...

... Needless to say, Goro's not the only one blushing.

His eyebrows lift a tiny bit after he hears that question. He wasn't lost in thought? Not at all. He's cool. Totally. ]

Distracting...

[ Damn it, face. Behave??

A small, almost sheepish chuckle slips out, and then he moves forward to kiss Goro's cheek. ]

Keep it. [ A kiss to his forehead. ] It's yours.

Distracting, huh? Is there something else you were trying to focus on?

[He drapes his arms over Akira's shoulders in a loose hug.]

I think I might be insulted.

[ ... Ah, so you're going to challenge him, are you? ]

Self-control.

[ It's in a soft tone with a playful air to it, but... three guesses as to whether or not he's serious.

His hands slide down, fingers gently fidgeting with the jacket in places, until said hands settle on Goro's hips. A small kiss is brushed over the corner of his boyfriend's lips. ]

How does it feel?

[Ah. His face turns a bit redder, but he's not exactly moving away.]

It's a little snug, but I didn't expect it to fit as well as my own Thief outfit. It's not small enough to be uncomfortable.

[ Victory. ]

Good... [ another, small kiss ] I'm glad it's not uncomfortable.

[ A smile. ]

You make it look pretty damn amazing, you know.

I'm fairly sure a generic display manikin would be able to make it look amazing.

[He pulls closer, until he's pressing up against Akira.]

But, I will accept that it makes me look even better and vice versa.

[ His arms wind tightly around his boyfriend's waist, and he narrows his eyes just a tiny bit. Stop this, Goro. You stop this. ]

I've seen the outfit by itself and I've seen what's beneath this outfit right now.

[ Leaning forward, he ghosts a kiss over Goro's cheek as he whispers. ]

You make it look amazing... and not with the help of your looks.

[ He's leaning back just enough to flash a smile. ]

But because you have the kind of personality this thing requires.

[What's that, keep it up? Okay. He rests one hand on Akira's cheek, the other running over his back.]

You do too, you know. I was very impressed, the first time I saw you as Joker.

[ Nothing about this has his heart racing. A true monk-in-training, over here. This lack of space is just fine? ]

Ah... [ a dramatic sigh ] To think... senpai noticed me, and I can't even remember the moment it happened...

[Of course it doesn't. He chuckles, letting the movement press against Akira's chest.]

I guess if it bothers you that much, we'll just have to make new memories until we get the old ones back.

[ He gently tugs at Goro's bangs. ]

I demand to be noticed by senpai at least twice a day between now and then.

[ akira plz ]

Twice, huh? And here I thought I was the one who's supposed to like attention.

[He gives a playful smirk, then goes in for a kiss.]

[ He happily returns the kiss. ]

Just because it isn't listed as a 'like' for me, doesn't mean I don't like it just as much.

[ A small grin. ]

Namely from you.

In that case, I'll be happy to give you that attention. Just as long as you give it back, of course~

[ Another kiss! ]

Who said I won't already be giving you twice as much, anyway?

[And another kiss returned...along with a bite.]

And what if I give you twice as much as that?
