the truth is, everyone wishes to be saved.

The execution has come and passed with the death of two more Agents. However time moves on without cease and so must the living. There are no celebrations, only the silence that grows heavier and heavier with every day and the feeling that something is pleased with what it has done.

There are two more days before the new week arrives: what will you do?

1. Abrupt Impulse

[After the trial, Date first makes a pit stop back over to Room 4 (who thankfully hasn't lost someone else this week? small victories) before wandering back over to the extra bathroom. After he dumps a thing into the garbage, he'll pause before moving over to collect whatever extra toiletries he can hold. He'll eventually drop this stuff off in the shared bathroom and he might make a couple more rounds of moving stuff before he returns back to his own room. Regardless of where you run into him though, he'll stick around for some conversation.]

2. Atypical Insouciance

[On Sunday, Date is back to grabbing whatever the hell else isn't nailed down like a lot of others, although after moving some cans of food to the pantry, he'll be over at the library. The less that's said about whatever he's browsing is probably for the better, although you might catch him staring down at a couple of rather... explicit covers for a bit before shoving them back into the shelves.]

3. Wildcard

[Make up a location or prompt for either day, friends! The sky is the limit!!]

Sunday

[notbymyside]

[Unfortunately Ango is the nosy type, and when he sees just what books Date is looking at, he sighs.]

Really? At a time like this?

[eyeforai]

[He feels that judgment and responds by levelling a flat, tired stare back at Ango.]

I wasn't going to take them.

[he's still holding one tho]

[notbymyside]

Why are you even looking at them, then? We should be taking the things we need to hold onto, not flipping through bodice rippers.

[eyeforai]

[...]

I just wanted to see what they were, alright? Besides, we can always use them for kindling.

[notbymyside]

...truly? You've never seen books like this before?

[eyeforai]

[...that was definitely not the way he intended to have it read, but you know what. It's an out.]

No, I don't read this kind of stuff. Are you telling me you do?

[jiiiiiiiiiis]

[notbymyside]

[Just. This face.]

Do I look like someone who would read that kind of thing?

[eyeforai]

[.........]

You do, don't you. You didn't even answer the question.

library

[accrowed]

[ why, hello nurse!

.... the cover, not date. never date. you are not his type, you will never be his type, you don't even orbit his type. but he comes over anyway and whistles teasingly ]

Is that what I think it is?

[eyeforai]

[good, he would never want crow seeing him like that, because he's not his type either?? also it's be creepy because crow's still in school or something even if he is a drop out

Either way, he does look up from the book when Crow speaks up, furrowing his brows.]

That depends. What do you think it is?

[accrowed]

[ not that he cares but excuse!! he's 20 you geezer, just because he's a student doesn't mean he's a kid!!

Anyway, yeah, moving on. ]

The kind of thing a respectable guy like you shouldn't be caught reading. Here, I'll do you a solid. Hand it over and we can say you're confiscating it from me.

[eyeforai]

[wow he will call you a kid and you will like it??

Also this offer seems suspicious??]

And what exactly would that accomplish?

[accrowed]

[ he absolutely will not, ykinhk

Um, wow? In what way? ]

This way you don't have to lie and you get to carry the book around. It's a pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.

[eyeforai]

[he will!!

clearly crow means to steal it from him!! or something, i don't know where i was going with this, actually]

I'm not lying about anything. Besides, I was just gonna put it back in the shelf. You can have it if you want, though.

[accrowed]

[ ykinhk!!!!

honestly he does so like, fair instincts? also ]

Oh? 'Kay, then I'll just help myself to it.

[ yoink!!! assuming date isn't fast enough to stop him, he's gonna turn around and flip through it to at the speed of a skimreader ]

[eyeforai]

[i don't even know what that means mandee, i'm too tired to parse your acronyms!!

truly his good old detective's intuition at work. nailed it. but also, while Date looks annoyed by Crow's swipe and instinctively pulls away, he doesn't manage to keep his grip on it.]

...You know, you could've just asked.

Sunday

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Hikage is here also gathering books, and from the looks of it he's mostly got really practical things like encyclopedia's and history texts. He stops when he sees Date but doesn't explicitly peer over to see what he's perusing (yet). ]

We might wind up taking the whole library at this point.

[eyeforai]

[Thank goodness one person is respecting his privacy?! Not that he's being particularly covert about this, but still.]

Might as well. It's not like the books are going to be missed.

[kaliedoscopes]

Yeah, I doubt the ghosts here read. [ Don't mind his ever increasing ghost grudge, it's fine. ]

What are you taking? There's really not that much worthwhile left.

[eyeforai]

[Ghost grudges are the most legitimate type of grudge, he's good.]

...Nothing, probably. I was just browsing. [Just gonna. Shove that book back into the shelf now.]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ He quirks an eyebrow and moves in closer to see what Date was looking at it. Oh. Blink, blink. ]

...I'm surprised these are still here.

[eyeforai]

[Oops. Busted for the third time, he's doing great??]

Guess no one thought they were worth the time to actually read. Not like the covers are any good, either...

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Slowly pulling out the book himself and paging through. ]

They're not that bad. [ Busted for the third time but maybe he's escaped judgement??? ]

[eyeforai]

[A...pparently? He would feel gratified, but instead he's just confused.]

...Don't tell me you also read this stuff.
