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.

[Hitoka comes back from her shower scrubbed pink and... at least a little more responsive. The water ran cold quick enough to jar her back to the here and now, and... well, her eyes are very red, still, and there's a suspicious gloss to them that lends the impression that she's not far off from another round of tears.

She skirts the area where... the trial and everything else happened. She can't go to the Tool Shed or the Ballroom.

...she finds her way to the Dining Room and slides into one of the chairs, and she flips through her notebook—damnably pristine because she dropped it when things got... got messy—again and again and again, as if rereading would make the words change. Eventually, she shifts it aside and flops forward against the table top, face buried in her hands.

On Sunday, she has taken charge of the laundry room, and can be found cleaning the stains out of everybody's spattered clothes with mechanical fervor.]

[He was one of the last ones to shower, and he didn't bother to wait for it to get warm first. He's used to the cold, and the cold keeps him awake, his senses sharp. His offsite uniform - he trashed, there is almost no saving it from the gore. He can soon be found wearing a white button-up shirt that's a little too long for him and brown trousers.

Ky first headed straight to the Powder room? the reason soon becomes clear as he delicately unscrews the various perfumes and colognes, sniffing - selecting three different bottles to leave on the kitchen counter with a note: Dab a small amount under the nose to block out unset smells

For about two hours after dropping off the bottles, he can be wandering in the halls, looking for others to check on them.

Even later, he can be found in Room 5, sitting on his bed, holding his ever-present crucifix in his hand, his sword resting in his lap, staring at the empty bunk above him.]

[She leaves fairly quickly after the whole debacle, untouched by much grime except what was on the floor, and that's quickly dealt with - she simply leaves her shoes outside of the ballroom and goes to the dressing room to select a pair of fairly low heels.

After that, she goes to the armory where she can be found looking through the feeds... probably. She doesn't actually seem to be paying much attention to them, lost in thought.

On Sunday she washes her old shoes and clothes properly and can otherwise be found going through the outfits in the dressing room to maybe avoid having to do as much laundry in general. She is also in Room 2 both nights, though she's even less talkative than before - you'll have to initiate conversation there.

[ For all his constant talk about evil and villainy, for all that he wishes his minion name had been Doomkiller... Giovanni Potage has never seen someone die.

So for once in the week he's been here, he's not talking. After a cold shower, he's in Room 3, sitting on his bed in his pajamas (the uniform with bits of Sho on it having been discarded to the washing machine), knees drawn up to his chest, just... sitting there. Occasionally, a tiny sob escapes his mouth.

On Sunday, he's a little more present. Well, maybe "present" isn't the right word, but he's out and about, at least. Specifically, he can generally be found in the dining room, various colors of yarn spread out on the table before him as his knitting needles clack with fervor. His eyes are still red.

[after all of that, Rin is immediately going to rush towards the showers because you all can fight her about how she wants to get all of this disgusting muck off her body and clothes. but even after the shower turns cold-- it actually clears her mind as well, too.

which means that she might be taking a lot more time than you'd expect, but she won't take more than an hour.

but after shower's done and dealt with? she does remember the note in the kitchen about the moving rooms, so she wants to get her clothes cleaned proper before the next week starts, which is why she can be found in the laundry room because yeah, she desperately needs to get her clothes clean.

in the late hours of the evening - practically after midnight, Rin can be found taking a seat in the dining room; in particular, she seems to have a syringe in her hand and seems to be... injecting herself? hm.]

[ after the trial and once things have somewhat gone back to....not hectic, romani can be seen in the washing room, scrubbing out the stains of his clothes.

the gore stinks, and he wants to puke half of the time, but he's meticulously scrubbing away as if he wants to rip a new hole in the fabric. even his gloves are being washed, revealing that he actually has a ring on his left hand.

once that's done, he decides to hole himself up in room 1. he doesn't have the appetite for the rations, but he does seem to be going out to get himself some coffee or water every few hours. to those that want to barge into his room, they may even catch him writing into his notebook. ]

[ Well, previously Saphir would have gone to the tool shed to distract himself and relax, but that's certainly out right now. Instead he ends up in the armory, which is the next best thing. His initial intention is to try to find something of relatively low importance to take apart and put back together again, but in the end, he just ends up sitting against the wall in between a couple of monitors, hugging his knees to his chest.

After that, he sticks to room 6 for the rest of the night. He tries to write some things down in his notebook for a while, but gives up pretty quickly and just curls up under the covers to try to delude himself into believing he's going to get to sleep any time soon. At least if Battler's wound reopens and starts dripping blood onto his bunk or something, he'll be awake to deal with it, so. There's that. ]

BATHROOM

[Step one consisted of being set in the shower with her clothes still on and... crying, as the water came down. And down, and down, and down...

Eventually the fact the hot water ran out forced Rosa to stop sobbing and start scrubbing. The annoyance spurned haste as she tried to get it all off down to her fingernails.

Her power meant she could walk out of the bathroom with a new clean outfit, and looking and smelling fresh as a daisy, but the circles around her eyes and the exhaustion she carried herself with made it clear she was not having a good time.]

Bedroom 5

[Step two consisted of stumbling to bed, and realizing too late that she was in one of the top bunks...]

...Ky, I'm borrowing your bunk.

[Her voice was a wheeze as she just let herself flop into his bed.]

Wildcard!

[Step four consisted of getting a little more put together and chancing to walk out of the room, not even with a plan, but just to see who was still around.]

Who wants to trade? I'll offer a fresh outfit for any serious offer.

Kitchen

[Step five was to put food in her empty gut, or something else... she really wished she could find something else. She made a halfhearted look for something with alcohol, knowing she'd looked through the shelves already. Maybe the ghosts would be kind?

...Though with her throat feeling raw, she wasn't in the best shape for it. Despite that, it was her coping mechanism and she needed something.]

[ Jack wishes that he could say that that was the first time he was ever covered in the blood of a companion, but he'd be lying to himself if he did. Sho could say what he would like about machines not having souls, but seeing the new ways that omnics could come up to kill humans showed creativity that Jack would argue made them something more than machine. He stood to the side, letting everyone else out of that room before him. He schooled his face, not letting any emotions show, just trying to usher everyone else out. He waits until the very end to shower, letting the cold water run over him, clear his head.

Afterwards, he can be found in the Dining Room, sitting in a chair. He's sitting ramrod straight, looking at a wall. There's a hard look on his face, like he's trying to get some thoughts in order.

On Sunday, he's in the Armory. He's going through the supplies there and looks like he's taking inventory.

On both nights, he's in Room 4, though if anybody catches him in there, you might catch him lying in his bunk, looking right at the bunk that used to be Olympia's. ]

[Haku exits the room quickly, untouched by grime except for his shoes ... which he doesn't seem to be addressing right now because he's heading to the laundry room to get a large basin. With that in hands, he'll make his way back to the living roo of gore and start tossing pieces of flesh into the basin.

It'll be an hour or so later that he'll be in the trash room, to toss the bloody mess into the incinerator. Mind you, the living room won't be spotless because he mostly grabbed the bigger chunks, but it's... something. Maybe.

After that, he'll be taking a long shower himself and be in his bunk in room 2.

On Sunday, he doesn't appear to be in much of a better mood, and anyone passing by him might note the air is distinctly colder around him.

[Ango is...around. Ish. He can be found in a few various places, scribbling things in the notebook he brought with him to the house. If anyone cares to peek, though, it's not notes on supplies or anything. Instead, it seems to be...profiles? On Olympia and Sho? Hm.

Other than that, he can be found trying to wash and re-wash his clothes from the trial, because they're filthy. He has a second set, which he is wearing now, but he wants to keep them both clean for use.

[27 of them left, now.

Battler ends up being one of the last ones to bathe, as well - He'd been able to salvage his uniform by immediately dunking it in in a bucket of cold water while he rigged up a shitty toga while he was still covered in drying bits of gore - but unlike how he normally is, he's rather quiet and...pensive, to say the least.

It's easy to catch him in the halls, shutting the windows with curtains wherever he can. He...doesn't want to see the outside right now.

Later, people can see him making a stop at the powder room to grab a pair of boots, and then going over to the Tool Shed, where one can find him quietly standing over Olympia's remains, placing a hand on the warped chassis.]


...Olympia-chan....I'm sorry I didn't get to know you more.

[And even later than that, he can be found in the Ballroom - Which has the curtains drawn, of course - standing and looking down at the Sigil that still remains with a complicated, but sad look.]

....You idiot. ....I know better than anyone that this sort of thing...wouldn't lead to you coming back.

[Finally, he can be seen on sunday with a set of 1920's playing cards in room 6, quietly playing solitaire over and over. If someone approaches him, he'll give them a weak smile and come down, offering to play a game with them, but otherwise...]

[Once the trial ends, Gin doesn't rush towards the showers. He's way too calm and casual being covered in blood, even moreso than one might think even with his normal behavior. He does eventually get himself clean, and seats himself down in the dining room with a sword polishing kit and his sword.

On Sunday, Gin spends a little bit of time in most of the rooms at some point-- notably he spends some time looking at Sho's sigil in the ballroom and having tea in a clean corner of the livingroom. A second cup sits empty in front of him with the steaming teapot.]

I. Evening High Tea(?)

[ As one of the lucky ones, that is sans gore and most of the trauma, Hikage spends the evening after trial in an attempt to pay the charity he received from Subete forward. While there's no food to cook there is tea, and as mediocre as the tea leaves are maybe the amount of care he puts into steeping the leaves will make up for it. No matter who enters or what state they're in he'll ask plainly: ]

Do you want a cup?

II. Storage Wars

[ Another day and soon to be another week, and Sunday finds Hikage spending a large amount of time in and out of storage. He's rooting through what's here, looking more at home than you would expect him to be and not spending too long looking at the labels. And one of those bottles of bleach is coming with him. ]

Ugh, it feels like I'm never going to be clean again.

[Emil says that while he's hanging out in the dining room. He already showered, even his hair is sparkling clean now, and comments that to anyone who comes to talk. He seems a bit shellshocked, though.

Not everyday you see someone exploding.

Later on Sunday, though, he went up to the balcony, observing down to the ballroom. He never saw the crime scene -- he spent all his time rooting around and searching in unrelated places -- but now here on Sunday...he has no idea what to think about all this]


...Olympia was a person. She may have been a machine, but I talked to her and she was a person. That's undeniable.

[He's kind of stuck on that. Olympia was a person, and she's gone.

It's awful]

[ Quiet Time ]

[ On saturday night, he can be found up on the balcony above the ballroom with his flute out. He's looking a little forlorn as he plays a piece. ]


[ New song who dis ]
[ On Sunday, he'll be back in his usual cheeful self. Flagging someone down. ]

Hey, listen to this really quickly! It's something I heard on the radio playing non-stop on the drive up here.

[ And without waiting for permission, he's going to start playing the piece on his flute. ]


[ Bother him ]
[ Anyone can find him meandering through the halls or back in Room Seven. He's also still giving a solo concert to his pouch every night in the bathroom. ]

[As soon as Nanaka leaves the living room, the air around her ripples slightly, and she is back in her normal clothing, cleaned of all gore that was previously sticking to her. There's at least one more person who doesn't need to do laundry, it seems. Aside from that, she seems to mostly be trying to stay out of people's way for the time being. People need time to grieve, and her trying to comfort people is only going to be counterproductive after all.

As for Sunday, if one looks for her, they can find Nanaka in... the second dining room of all places, sitting by the large table and... meditating? Her glasses are off, and she seems to be maintaining her posture, at least.]

[It takes a while before the shower frees up, and Yuri waits, letting everyone else go first after helping Yachi with her shower. After everyone else is done, she scrubs herself clean, washes the gore out of her hair and off her skin.

Then, immediately after (wearing clean clothes, her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail but still dripping water) she goes to the laundry room to wash her exorcist's uniform. Handwashing that heavy jacket will keep her busy for a while, gives her a way to work out some of the frustration from the past few days.

Sunday sees Yuri in the living room, for the most part. She isn't trained for this, but she's doing her best to clean up the mess.

[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....]
