Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

[ghostricked]

After everything, the house seems almost too still and too mundane. At least as long as the doors to that room remain closed. One by one those covered in what was once their teammate are lead to the showers or change in silence. There is no warm meal waiting for them. No words of encouragement.

Life goes on, regardless.

[..... welp. there is sure to be a poison death at some point in all of this. GOOD TO KNOW.]

Dress up sounds fun.

[golden_dream]

I'm not stealing, I'm borrowing.

[deadanimemom]

It probably is. [Yuri's smile is a little softer.]

It's hard for everyone right now, but spending time with other people and getting to know them will help.

[accessorytomurder]

[Dazai. That assumes we get to keep the Powder Room...]

Yeah... Yeah! Why not. Let's go. But, um... be careful, won't you?

[cw_suicide]

[you assume people couldn't just yoink some of that poison.]

Ahhh... should I have not brought up the injuries? I'll be fine. I've been doing very well, in fact!

[finalring]

It doesn't always match, but it's as good of a place to start as any. You say you breed demons, but that's not the only way they appear, right?

[impyroverished]

He betrayed everyone anyway. He'd have been responsible for at least three deaths other than himself!

[It's a miracle the bomb debacle ended like it did, really]

[impyroverished]

[Emil seems to hesitate for a moment, staring at Romani like he's trying to determine something. Nope, can't seem to find out what he's looking for. Maybe he will during the conversation]

Abandoned and full of dangers, for the most part. There are four countries left, the rest of the planet is empty. We're trying to make our way back into it, bit by bit.

[Well, it's Sweden doing it, mostly. It's going to take centuries before they succeed]

[accessorytomurder]

Okay, if you say so...

[Off they go!]

[cw_suicide]

[... is it really something to thank him for? it just feels like he's selfishly doing something putting this on someone else.

either way, he hesitates, seems to come back to himself a bit, and reaches up a hand to the tears coming down her cheeks.]

Really... you should be saving these...

[he's really not someone people should cry over?]

[impyroverished]

You would?

[Emil's eyes widen, he manages to smile a little]

I'd appreciate that. I'm finding out modern technology is a huge mystery to me, someone who knows all about it would be a great teacher for this.

[He's still wrapping his head around the concept of a smartphone]

[finalring]

Hm?

[ roman gives himself the time to think as he pulls his hair back up into a quick and messy ponytail.

why he wanted to become a doctor...what a loaded question. ]

Haha...well... I'm not really sure, actually. You see, Rin, I'm a huge coward. I'm the type of person that will most likely want to run away from the slightest hint of danger. But I guess... [ he falls silent, closing his eyes as he thinks of what to say. ] I guess I've always felt like it's my duty to help others that are in need. So if I'm in this job, then I'm unable to run away. I'll have no choice but to help in any way that I can. Because that's my duty.

[cw_suicide]

[to the dressing room! /o/]

So then... we each pick out an outfit to show off to the other? Or should we be picking for each other?

[impyroverished]

[Time to get to work. From how he does it, it's pretty clear Emil has done this a few times before, he even has a decent speed for that]

You did well during the trial, you know. Better than those of us who don't know where to start.

[...including himself, really, but he's not going to say that aloud, ever]

[accessorytomurder]

How about... we each start on a rack, and the other person picks a number, and we... take the outfit that we land on, and surprise each other with it?

So... I'll pick '19' for you.

[impyroverished]

It could be a childhood song, like a lullaby.

[Possibly?]

[cw_suicide]

All right. '7' for you, then.

[private]

[deadanimemom]

I have a lot more where those came from. [She says, with a watery sort of smile.]

And you... you've been through so much, why wouldn't I cry? Why wouldn't anyone cry, hearing about that?

[accessorytomurder]

Okay!

[She rummages around, and he might see a flash of yellow before she scuttles off to change. But he won't see the whole shebang until she creeps back out.]

Um, so... here it is!

[God help him, she does a fluttery little spin.]

[dreamdispersal]

He was a big mouth and absolutely nothing else. Not worth the big deal everyone insisted on making out of him or all he did.

[ Zabuza gives the basin a glance over, just kind of going 'hm' at the whole mess that has become of Sho. ]

... the rings are still on. Almost funny.

[private]

[cw_suicide]

Probably... because enough people know I still do a lot of unsavory and unnecessary things. "Ah, of course he's no good. Just look at where he's come from," or something like that?

Admittedly, I've also never really explained. People will just assume as they want and they're not always wrong to do so.

[this is the smile that fits so nicely on his face, you know he's been in so much practice with it--for how long? covering what? people don't tend to ask.]

[finalring]

What?

[ okay he did not expect THAT. well, he supposes that it's not that different, but...that is definitely a grim future. ]

I see... so something like the United States was completely unknown to you, huh? [ he pauses ] Do you know what caused it? That sort of destruction?

[baitless]

[Well, it's not like Seteth's unused to being covered in blood for whatever fucking reason, even if he kind of hates it. So he just sort of stands not too far from the showers and just... waits for pretty much everyone to go first. You can tell him to go before you if you're that kind of person, but he'll probably argue with you about it, because he's also that kind of person. And, of course, like literally everyone else, he's going to be doing laundry because, well, yes. He's also going to be scrubbing his shield while he's there because it... did take a lot of the brunt of the blood...

...he already picked up another set of clothes, but if all the executions are going to be this messy, he's just... going to hit the dressing room again. Maybe pick up a few more outfits in case he just gets fed up and decides any of them are a lost cause. He mostly picks... darker colors for that reason....]

[tsunderine]

That's—

[well, it's true that he isn't bad looking and reliable in some ways...

but at the same time, does she really deserve it?]

Even if he did... it's not like I can just tell him. There are things that are much more important.

I mean—! In the off chance that I do like him!

[foxetious]

[Gin watches Sissel's approach, and debates the merit of offering tea. It's polite, and Komamura has drank tea before... He's obvious not a normal animal though.]

No thanks are necessary, it was for my own sake as much as anyone's.

[He'll... hold up his own teacup to gesture] Would you like some?
