thefoundation | Week 3 Mingle

The last week has brought the first spilled blood. Three of the contestants are gone, with the promise of more to fall soon. The atmosphere around the house will start to get heavy around Wednesday, which is when the first game of the week is. It's almost like the house knows something is up...

The conspiracy is beginning to unravel. Dazai isn't Dazai, and the cracks are forming in his act. But that act must be held up, or the Foundation will be brought in to take control of the game. Now everyone must play the part and act like everything is normal, at least on camera. That stress of always performing is bound to make someone crack eventually.

Once again, the cameras and microphones change. The contestants will have to search out new spots for their secret conversations. Even one wrong step, one wrong word, and it's all over for this group. Everyone is watching, and they need to play their roles.

They better keep an eye out too, because storm clouds are starting to loom over the area, both figuratively and literally.

[ That's... a surprise.

When she was returning to her room, she hadn't expected Vanitas to be waiting for her there. ]

Alright. Did you have some place in mind?

[ She will follow him when he moves. ]

Some where with privacy, Master.

[ There's a playful lilt to his words. He'll head down the stairs and towards the door outside. ]

Nothing serious. Just wanted to show you something.

I can't say that doesn't make me curious...but I'm sure that's precisely why you've said it.

[ She could almost smile, and out the door they go?? ]

Maybe.

[ He'll just head to the back of the house where there are trees.

He'll stop there and turn to face her. ]

This week is going to be interesting.

[ Pulling out two photos from his pocket. ]

...It'll also be difficult, seeing as how far they went with the threat.

[ Aqua wonders if this will be the week someone will finally...well, let's not think about that right now. She's going to focus on what is in front of her, tilting her head towards the photos. ]

Those are yours?

It looks like it hit a lot of people.

[ They are bringing the big guns out and this early.

He'll hesitate before handing over one of the pictures. He's pocketing the other, but she might be able to catch the messy brown hair of their host. The picture he's offering is a picture of her. ]

You should hold on to it.

Mm, it did.

[ Guess they were tired of nothing happening, she supposed. Aqua's just going to desperately hold faith that her own would stay safe, along with everyone else, but that realistic side of hers is nagging her bad about it.

She also catches the brown hair and scrunches her nose at it - okay no jk. Seeing herself just there is kind of surprising in of itself, but considering who's in one of her photos...maybe not so much. ]

...Is there any reason why?

[ The why is complicated for any of the whys she could ask. There's a beat as he gives a shrug. ]

I know what you're capable of. I know you can take care of yourself if they even try.

[ He looks at her, amber meeting blues for a moment before he glances away. He's also letting her know again what she's mean. He's been doing that a lot here. ]

[ She figured as much, and yet...she couldn't help but ask anyway after she took the photo. ]

Thank you for having faith in me. [ She smiles, and she understands the gesture enough, so ... ] I think I should at least return the gesture.

[ Aqua pulls out one of the photos and holds it out to him. It's of Vanitas. ]

[ Don't thank him? It's embarrassing.

There's a protest there, and his mouth is already starting to form the words to try to regain his edge, when he sees the picture.

Oh.

He takes it and stares at it, before looking up at her. ]

Why do you have this?

[ Context says it's because he's one of hers, but... it's still hard to believe. ]</small<

[ So ... thank him a lot then??? Ok, got it!! ]

Because it goes both ways, doesn't it?

[ There is that warm smile still, with no hint of sarcasm; just complete sincerity all the way. Honestly, they've...come so far.

If anyone had told her that she'd be able to get along with Vanitas years ago, she'd have probably stared at them like they had three heads. ]

[ There's a beat and then he'll give a nod. ]

Yeah, I guess it does.

[ It's easier to admit, especially given their circumstances. It's been a long two years, but there's been a little bit of light in his life thanks to her.

Putting the picture into his pocket before he decides that's enough. He does give her a light tap on the arm with his hand as he moves past her. ]

[ And before he gets too far: ]

...Vanitas, would you like to continue taking a walk with me?

[ There's a beat before he looks at her. And then he'll offer a shrug. ]

I have nothing better to do.

[ He'll give a wave for her to lead the way. Just going to fall in step next to her. ]

I'm glad I'm not interrupting anything important.

[ A small "walk" through the backyard, though she stops in front of some flowers and kneels before them, reaching to lightly touch one. ]

...It's really hard to believe we've been here almost a month now.

[ Stuffing his hands in his pockets and standing there to watch for a moment. ]

Other than the weekly deaths, it's almost... peaceful.

[ His edges have been softening more and more here and he's not really sure what to make of it. ]

We should spar some time.

I can only hope it'll continue to grow even more peaceful. Even if we both know it'll probably be a long while before that's possible.

[ But, it's a nice thought for her to entertain. ]

I would like to. It's been awhile, hasn't it?

Usually these shows get more dramatic with each week.

[ So peaceful days aren't going to last. and yes he watches reality tv. ]

Hope you aren't getting rusty, Master.

[ you know the shipping forums are probably going nuts watching them ]

I'm not, I promise.

[ They probably are.

Either way, Aqua smiles at that, seeming more amused if anything. She can see the challenge for what it is. A bit of mischeviousness glints in her eye. ]

I'll be also expecting the same of you, though.

Unlike some people, I've been keeping up with my exercise.

[ If you call antagonizing Nora and running around throwing powers at him as exercising. ]

Let's see if you got it. Right now.

It's for the best, really.

[ Aqua would argue that doesn't count ... much!! ]

...Really? Right now?

[ ... ]

Well, I suppose we're in a wide enough space - we'll just have to be careful about anyone who's coming on by.

Like it when I'm in shape?

[ Teasing. He's been doing that more lately with the others and now knowing what the forums think... he has to feed it a tiny bit. ]

Yeah, right now. Keyblades and magic only.

[ He won't be a dick and nyoom around. ]
