Week 4

Week 4

Sunday - Thursday

You've lost four in the past week—Machias, Vanitas, Natalia and Edna. Just in time for the fourth week to roll around, for those of you who are superstitious. But it really isn't like you could forget that death is a common occurrence in this castle, whether you believe in legends or not. Some of you might find solace in the chance to recuperate and move on, if you're still up for companionship with your fellow warriors.

Either way, dawn is soon upon the castle and like it or not, you will all have to face whatever comes this week.

Like before the pattern repeats itself, with new areas revealed for you to explore. It may be that something worth discovering lies in wait to be found, or you can simple enjoy the new additions for what they are. Distractions are most likely welcome, regardless of your feelings of the past week.

SURVIVING WARRIORS: 21

[divertimento]

[sjakgjkfw;; WELL. That's fair, but he's still pretty flustered about it. Don't mind him while he just... stuffs this pillow under his bed... completely inconspicuously...]

O-oh. [H-Hi.] And after I got on Ayumu's case for doing the same thing... that's embarrassing.

[pseudoregelia]

And dangerous.

So what's with the pillow?

[divertimento]

That's what I was getting on Ayumu's case about -

[Oh, damn it. She noticed.]

S'just a dumb thing the pond spat at me. It's nice to sleep next to, but it doesn't need to take up space on the bed. That's all.

[Clearly...]

[pseudoregelia]

Mm-hmm...

So why did you hide it so quickly?

[Elliot. Friend. She wouldn't be such a good snoop if she didn't notice these things.]

[divertimento]

[mmmMRGH...]

...'cause it has a super-embarrassing picture printed on it and I don't want you running off to your tabloid?

[And there we have dead-ass honesty.]

It is still really comfy though.

[pseudoregelia]

[SUPER EMBARRASSING, YOU SAY.]

Show me, show me!

[divertimento]

[sjFKLSDJFS:FSD;; --]

O-only if you promise not to use this against me somehow! No articles, no telling other people!

[YOU BETTER SWEAR ON YOUR LIFE, STALKER FRIEND -]

[pseudoregelia]

[THERE IS NO ESCAPE]

Yes, yes, I promise ♪

1/2

[divertimento]

[He's just gonna stare at her really hard for a minute and make sure she's gonna promise...]

2/2

[divertimento]

[...but, okay.

So, hey, Hiyono, how do you feel about spiky-haired boys in swimsuits with scarred chests?

Elliot is just gonna die here. Slowly.]

[pseudoregelia]

[Oh my~♪

She raises a hand to her mouth, very ladylike.]

Is that an idol from your world, or...?

[She sounds extremely uncertain, mostly because of that scar.]

[divertimento]

[Ugh... He drops his head so that his bangs hide his burning face a little more.]

No. I wish. [Sigh, this is SO EMBARRASSING -] ...Remember that card reading thing from last week?

[pseudoregelia]

Yes?

[She's not connecting the dots, because the idea of someone doing a print of an actual person he knows does not occur to her. Yet.]

[divertimento]

Yeah, um. This is that guy.

His name's Rean. Rean Schwarzer.

[Elliot may or may not be trying to collapse in on himself or sink into the bed and out of existence.]

Because the portal to Gehenna hates me, and me specifically.

[pseudoregelia]

[Oh.

Ohhhhhh.

Wow.]

May I... see that for a second?

[Reaching out for it give her the goods Elliot.]

[divertimento]

[He peeks up, dead-eyeing her.]

What do you want it for?

[Look, Hiyono. He likes you a lot. But you are not the most trustworthy.]

[pseudoregelia]

It's weird that they made something like this using your friend as a model, right?

I just want to examine it.

[SHE IS A PURE AND INNOCENT MAIDEN??? What are you expecting from her.]

[divertimento]

...Okay.

[Listen. If she didn't run a gossip column in the weekly breakfast announcement, he might not be so concerned! But he pushes the pillow in her general direction, looking for all the world like he's just done with with this whole existing thing for a while.]

[pseudoregelia]

[Wowie, this sure is something. And because Elliot hasn't suffered enough yet:]

So... is the picture accurate?

[divertimento]

[He just groans and buries his face into his hands. Hiyono. Why.]

...yes.

[pseudoregelia]

Oho, so you've seen him like this before ♥

[Hiyono.]

It makes me wonder, though... Where did they get a detailed image of him for this...?

[divertimento]

I- I mean-!! We had swimming classes at the academy, of course I did! So did everyone else!

[Flail mode, activate.]

A-as for that second part...! I dunno. This is even creepier than them having all this info on us, to be honest...

[pseudoregelia]

[She shifts the pillow. It is now facing Elliot, while she sits behind it.]

That's what I think, too... Somehow, they didn't only know what your friend looks like, but they even produced something of this quality...

[...She's also wiggling it as she talks. Because this is what you do when you're having serious conversations, you use body pillows as puppets.]

[divertimento]

No kidding...

...are you using that thing as a puppet? [Uuuugh HIYONO WHY. He moves to grab it back.] Give that back!

[pseudoregelia]

[She laughs and tosses it back to him. Let her have her fun where she can!]

--Well, anyway, let's just keep on our toes. They have a disturbing amount of information on all of us, so we can't let that blindside us later.
