Week 2

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of manyfirst and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Are you sure? If you asked me, you're getting a failing grade when it comes to the friends department.
irrationalities: (♚ a breeze could push you over.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-08-16 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Putting too much faith in people you barely know is only asking to be betrayed in a place like this. I'd rather keep my distance for now.
pseudoregelia: (How come you)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-16 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
How long is "for now" going to last?

We can't do anything about this place all by ourselves, you know.
irrationalities: (♚ i don't really care.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-08-17 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Man, people really are insistent on him making friends this week, aren't they...?]

'For now' meaning until I know them longer than a week and a half.

Don't take this to mean I'm gonna withhold everything I find; I'm not arrogant enough to think I can get out of here by myself. But if I make friends or not isn't any of your business.
pseudoregelia: (it's so lonely.)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-17 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[JUST SHUT UP AND ACCEPT THEIR FRIENDSHIP MAHIRO.]

How long will it take? The bonds we build now are what will keep us going even as things grow harder to bear. If you don't let others in, there won't be anyone to help hold you up when you need it, either.

So with that in mind, I think it is my business!

[Hiyono. How do you come to a conclusion like that.]
irrationalities: (♚ what are you on?)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-08-19 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[no!? it has cooties okay

But in all seriousness, he really doesn't seem to be affected by her speech that much, aside from just a deepening scowl.]


I've haven't needed people to hold my hand for the past couple of years now. What makes you think that being in a place like this would change that?
pseudoregelia: (and yet)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Only the past couple of years? Then, you did before that?
irrationalities: (♚ it's from over there.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-08-21 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not gonna claim I was totally independent when I still lived under my parents' roof.
pseudoregelia: (I'm still alive)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, your parents. So then...

Does that make you some sort of friendless loser back home?
irrationalities: (♚ are you really that dumb.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-08-21 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Shut up. I wasn't a friendless loser.

[He has one friend!! One!!]

Besides, there's only so much a friend can do. It's not like they can magically make things better just by being there.
pseudoregelia: (me; you know it's)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not, but there's a lot of things they can do to help!

[Just get a load of how screwed Ayumu would have been in multiple instances without her!]
irrationalities: (♚ it's from over there.)

[Admittedly he would feel a lot more secure if Yoshino had been around to watch his back, but not having that advantage... isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Mahiro's never strictly needed him for anything so it's better that Yoshino's not caught up in this mess.]

Sure. But it's also a lot easier to trust someone when you already know them.
pseudoregelia: (and yet)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
But here, you have no choice but to get to know people.
irrationalities: (♚ it's simple logic.)

[personal profile] irrationalities 2017-08-21 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I do know people.

I'm at least willing to give some the benefit of a doubt too, but I don't plan on letting my guard down so easily.
pseudoregelia: ('til I can't even see you)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-21 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you aren't trusting them!
