Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

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.

Wildcard/Room 5?!

[Honestly, he's not planning on turning this into a long conversation, but he did say he would drop her stuff off, so. He'll be knocking at the door after he's had a chance to clean up too.]

Rosa? Are you in there?

[She was striking out with the trade offers, so when Date was at the door she was shrugging herself back to room 5. So the answer to his knock would come from the hall outside rather than inside.]

Oh... Date.

[Genuine smile for him.]

[Ah. Well, that works out alright then. He gives a small smile in response, giving as subtle as a once over he can without looking... well, creepy. It probably helps that without his usual trench coat, he also looks less sketchy than he normally does.]

Hey. You look like you're doing a little better now. I'm glad.

Thank you. ...I wasn't able to sleep. I went to have tea instead.

[Unfortunately, literal tea, and not a euphemism.]

Do you have my things? I think I may need them.

Just make sure you don't push yourself.

[But alas. Maybe they'll get other kinds of 'tea' in later weeks... although not this coming one, apparently. There's a nod at her question though, and he holds out the small collection of items in his hands.]

Here. Why'd you need me to hold onto them, by the way? I doubt anyone would have just picked them up and ran off with them.

...Why do you doubt that?

[Genuine surprise at his statement.]

[personal profile] eyeforai 2020-04-21 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a feeling. I don't think most of us are in a state of mind where we would go digging around in other people's belongings for no reason. Besides, there's already plenty of extra ammo and weapons stored out in the open where anyone's free to take them, and we're all trapped in an enclosed space with shared rooms. It'd be hard to hide if word started spreading that there was a thief around.

Maybe... but if someone were to take my gun and then, say, commit a murder...

[gestures]

Anyway, thank you for holding on to them.
eyeforai: (austere inflection)

[personal profile] eyeforai 2020-04-22 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's no problem.

[He doesn't have an issue handing the items back, although admittedly the response is a little concerning.

...Might as well ask.]


What makes you think someone might do that, though?

[personal profile] golden_dream 2020-04-22 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Would you question it too much?
eyeforai: (austere inflection)

[personal profile] eyeforai 2020-04-23 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
That would depend. Are we talking about now, or 2 weeks from now?
golden_dream: (one-winged eagle)

[personal profile] golden_dream 2020-04-23 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean? Does it make a difference either way...?
eyeforai: (austere inflection)

[personal profile] eyeforai 2020-04-23 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, if we're taking context into account. This case was the result of one person doing something very stupid as they tried to play around with something that they knew nothing about. There wasn't any real motive or malice in this case.

If someone's taking your gun to frame you for a murder, that's different. They'd need a good motive for that, especially having seen what happens to a murderer when they get caught. I'm not saying there isn't a motive that might drive someone to do this now, but I don't see the point.

But that's just my own thoughts. I can't say anything about yours.

...How do you know?

... [though his explanation does give her pause]

Their motive could be... they really hate me, for some reason. Or they think I'm weak enough they could get away with it.

... It was just something I was afraid of happening. I didn't say it was logical.

[He listens patiently to her explanation, with his expression softening a bit at the acknowledgement at the end.]

Fair enough. And sorry to corner you like that. It wasn't my intention to question you, but I didn't want you to worry so much.
golden_dream: (Stuffed Animal)

[personal profile] golden_dream 2020-04-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...No, it's all right. [pause] I'm sorry to burden you with... my silly little fears.
eyeforai: (affable impression)

[personal profile] eyeforai 2020-04-23 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright. I understand.

[This has been a mess of a week and it doesn't look like it's getting better, so.]

Anyway, I'll be on my way. I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.
