week 6
Week 6
Sunday - Thursday
Another week of misfortune has passed by and while the end result is that there won't be any issues to anyone's existence being altered for the worst, it doesn't mean anyone's celebrating. If anything, the stressful machinations of the recent trial would require some of you to have someone champion some sort of recuperation amongst you in an attempt to relieve the strain. Whether or not its entirely successful in doing so is up to each individual. After all, there are some of you who are naturally able to endure more than others.
There's not even much time for that before the dawn of the next week is upon the castle. As it comes, everything seems quiet, which is understandable, considering that five lives were lost in the previous week.
Of course, the next best thing to focus on would be what's been newly revealed within the castle. It'll help most of you get your mind off of the current situation to an extent—distractions have a way of making that possible. Presuming, by chance, you do find yourself taking a peek at the sakura tree, you'll notice that the buds have started to finally open up. Is it time for spring at last? If so, you might find yourself wishing that the season would suddenly find itself on hold.

You can contact the sage with your pendants here, and the teishu here.)

It doesn't seem like a bad question to me, Tiki-chan. I'd like to know that as well, you know? It'd make me feel better knowing that Mako and the others were alright.
no subject
It's no good because they're dead. Makky and the others... Of course they aren't okay.
[She rises up on her tip-toes again anyway, though, peering into the sink for just a moment before she's flat on her feet again.]
What did you want to ask them?
no subject
...I can't argue with you there, I suppose. [She forces a bit of a half-hearted smile.] I guess what I wanted to know was if there was any way that we could help them. If there's a way to bring them back.
[She, too, glances at the sink. It remains steadfastly silent and non-bubbly. She sighs.]
Maybe instead of asking them if they're okay, I should ask you, huh?
no subject
[She says it a little distantly, looking up at Misora and then towards the sink again. Her face scrunches up some—Misora, Tiki has decided after watching her for this long, is smart and reliable enough not to lie to her, but she can't quite wrap her head around the idea of bringing the dead back to life.
The next question makes her sigh, though, and one hand falls from the counter as she slumps.]
Uh-uh. [at least she's honest...] I don't know how anyone could be.
no subject
Mm, you'd have to be pretty heartless not to be hurting now, huh....
[She suppresses a sigh.]
It sounds strange, I know, but we may be able to reunite with those we've lost. It won't make the hurt go away, but it'd be nice to see it happen, wouldn't it?
no subject
[Her voice is even softer, like if she says it too loudly then the secret is revealed and the magic lost with their chances. In her childish eyes, the consequences lost to her, she can't imagine that a reunion wouldn't make her heart stop aching so much. She can't bear loneliness; if her friends are back, won't that make it better?]
I'd like to see them again. [Even quieter now, like she's afraid to hope too hard; she moves to fidget with the white feather she's tied as a pendant around her neck, and, when she realizes her grip is tightening, fidgets with her dragonstone instead.] I'd like that very much.
no subject
Let me tell you something.
[It's not a secret -- not by any stretch of the imagination -- but Misora signals for Tiki to come closer so she can whisper into her ear.]

no subject
Nishitani-san told me yesterday that someone called the Emperor hid something in the castle that could bring everyone back. I don't know much more than that, but it's a start, isn't it?
no subject
Like the Aum Staff in the resurrectory... [Her voice is so full of quiet wonder; she knows of the Aum Staff but she knows of its fragility, too, that such powerful magic can't be used on more than a single soul, but to think of something that could bring back everyone...
It's hard to get her hopes up too high, but her eyes sparkle with such excitement when she turns back to Misora.]
It is a start. It's...that's amazing, Mimi.
[guess who else gets a nickname]
