From the white lights, the darkness comes...

[sageking]

Today's trial was a mixture of regret, anger, guilt, and second-thoughts. Perhaps some people realized that situations and choices weren't to be black or white. However, decisions were made, and whether it'd be through people keeping secrets or causing a ton of chaos...everyone could probably agree on one thing:

They've made their choices and no matter what happened in the coming days, they will lie in the beds they made for themselves. Whatever that should mean for each and every single person still living here.

That being said, there's still new choices to make. In the days to come, what will those be?

[ well, as for romani, he'll be in room 1 for the rest of saturday. saphir has mended to wound to the best of his capabilities, and now he has his arm in a makeshift sling. technically he's sitting up, but his gaze is hazy and it's clear that he looks to be in pain.

as for sunday, he'll...be trying to sneak out of his room. clearly as long as saphir or gilgamesh don't notice then it'll be fine, right? not that he...really knows where to go either. maybe just to see how the living room looks after everything.

he looks exhausted, but he'll slide down to a sitting position on the floor to take a look at everything. ]

[Sissel isn't nearly as wound up this week as he was last week- even though this trial was more overtly dangerous, when it came to the votes they were a lot less scattered so he feels, for once, less stressed then he was before.

Only a little though. This place doesn't offer much relief. Crow died needlessly. Ango was going to join the curse and things were going downhill too fast. But for now, all he can do is patrol and check in on everyone after the trial. Anyone looking especially bad might even get lap time.

And since he was asked, he'll even spend part of the night with Saphir, though he will be too restless to stay all night.]

sunday;

[sageking]

[ Okay but what if in one of those scenarios, he'll walk straight into Gilgamesh's chest as soon as he's coming back because that's just hilarious. ]

[She's going to check in on him Sunday before he has a chance to make any escape attempts.]

Dr. Roman?

[oxidegreen]

[Kitty check ins are the best. She's tending to the flowers in her room, accompanied by a plush, and is... basically as quiet as ever.]

[ghostricked]

[He will trot over to watch for a bit]

[finalring]

........

[ Fuck. ]

[finalring]

[ well if it's before any escape attempts, he's...in the bottom bunk of room 1. the one that belonged to ango before...

well.

he looks like he's in pain, but he manages to give marona a smile. ]

Marona, hi. Do you need something?

[oxidegreen]

[She's just watering them with the watering can she filched from the greenhouse, making sure to get the water on the roots instead of the leaves or petals. She notices him in the process of this, but makes sure to finish before she turns to him properly.

The pink roses seem to be doing alright at least.]

...Are you checking on everyone?

[ghostricked]

I guess it's a pattern by now, huh?

[zweivoltage]

[He's not quite as upset as one could be, all things considering. He's drinking tea in the dining room]

Hello Sissel... how are you feeling?

[ghostricked]

My heart's still running pretty hard. But... I've been worse. You?

[oxidegreen]

[She shakes her head.]

Not exactly. I just thought... because of your condition, if you need someone to be your hands, I'd like to offer mine.

[oxidegreen]

Patterns help.

[It's why she's been taking care of the flowers.]

[ Saturday night, Saphir is just... tired. But he's also determined not to let his work go to waste, so -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- he'll be found in the lab again, working diligently on repairing his robot, and trying not to look for too long at the spot where Crow was working on his guitar a few days ago.

On Sunday, you may encounter him in the lounge, where he's struggling to drag one of the fancy chairs away for himself (he'd meant to do this after the party on Thursday but he was drunk and tired), or in the halls where he's carrying parts and equipment from the lab to the static area to try to set up a small makeshift version of it in a corner of the dining room or something.

Or, later Sunday evening, you might just find him standing around anxiously in the hall outside the bedrooms (which will hopefully be cleaned up by then, and he will hopefully be accompanied by his new chair!!). Even if things seem to have settled down, he is still... very not eager to go back to his own room at night anymore. ]

[ghostricked]

Huh. You're not wrong. I'd be too stressed if I just tried to sleep, knowing you were all still out here.

[finalring]

[ romani is probably on the lower end of the 'is okay' scale, so he will be appreciating sissel's arrival on his bed.

he smiles weakly, reaching out with his good hand to pet sissel. ]

Hey...you actually came to visit...?

[zweivoltage]

I think the same - I don't think anyone expected what happened.

[He leans down for an ear rub]

[oxidegreen]

Is it because you're worried about us?

[ghostricked]

[Ahhh petpet]

Of course, I did. I don't agree with... a lot. But I never considered it a personal thing. And you went through a lot today.

[cw_suicide]

[at some point after the trial, Dazai can be found zoned out in the smoking lounge. smoking. as you do. also the zoning out seems to be directed at the two empty, clean glasses at the end of the table that he found during investigation.

there's still work to be done and he's feeling the time crunch but also.

a smoke break.

many smokes break.]

[finalring]

That's...

[ ahh. he glances at his own injured shoulder, followed by a somewhat bitter laugh. ]

Yeah. I've...probably lost whatever usefulness I've had, huh?

[oxidegreen]

You still know a lot of things I don't, though. I'm... not sure how much I'll really be able to do.

[She's never had to keep steady hands while doing delicate work, really.]

But I'd like to try if I can.

[sageking]

I'm surprised to see a Doctor try to leave his room after sustaining an injury without someone there to accompany him.

[ That's not even sarcastic. He's just like, really. Really. ]

Hmph, not that you should be moving around much in the first place, but my point still stands.

[ghostricked]

[puuurr]

It... I have to wonder if things would have turned out differently if we had fought alongside Subete. I don't regret anything, but- well, you know.
