Week 6: May 6th - 10th


Sixth Week
Killers and victims, killers and victims. Three of your own have fallen prey to murderous intent last week. Your numbers keep shrinking. Azura has fallen prey to Franciscus in the same night that Olympia betrayed her friend Millium and killed Cian who wound up in the crossfire. At this rate, is there anyone you can trust?

The townspeople's anger burns hotter than ever. Wherever they go, must they live in fear of stumbling on a corpse? They can't live like this. More than ever, the visitors are being shown that they are unwelcome.

Walking outdoors, cold looks are the norm. Shouted profanity isn't unexpected. Barely anybody is willing to still hold a conversation with any visitors.

Even within the motel, there is no feeling of safety any longer. Not only have two people died in this very place, no, now the townspeople also lost their fear of coming inside. While they don't enter private rooms, the daring among them vent their hatred of you by vandalizing the common rooms.

Cartesio has become a menacing place.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again. Don't mind that some of them have been damaged in one of the attacks on the motel.

[No way to know who’s knocking— so ultimately he just ignores it.

But if you’re feeling persistant, you may notice the door is not locked. Or you could try announcing yourself.

[She'll just let herself in then, looking over to see what kind of state Dazai's in as she shuts the door behind her. She's got all three guns on her person as usual, but very little intent to use any of them.]

You need to eat.

[He could be worse. It’s obvious he’s cried, but he isn’t now; staring up at the ceiling from atop his bed. Not even tucked into it, just laid atop the comforter, sheets and all. He looks relaxed but the reality is more that he hasn’t moved a muscle in a really long time. He’s just... there. He’s still... here. But the voice is easily recognizeable.]

...starvation is highly unpleasant...

[...still no movement.]

It is.

[She sets down the bag for now, walking over to him to offer the water first.]

Dehydrating isn't good, either. I've nearly died that way before. I wouldn't recommend it.

[Water... drinking that would just prolong his life, even if it saves him from a horrible, drawn out death. He hates pain and suffering. But...

He doesn’t take it.
]

...I shouldn’t be here. That thing... he stopped me. I had no intention of leaving that room alive.
quickpersuader: (so the)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-04 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She just moves it even closer, the straw practically touching his lips.]

We can't afford to lose more people now. So I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to die right now.

...do you think I can help you in some way?

[He’s not adverse to what she’s saying. If he’s going to be forced to drink well then he’ll drink. But— what can he do? What is he capable of at this point? What... does he want? He doesn’t... he doesn’t know. It all contradicts inside of his head.]
quickpersuader: (so the Beautiful World...)

You have many useful skills. It will be helpful to have those on our side for as long as possible.

[She will wait until he gets a good drink of that water before she moves again.]

You can join them after, if you want. But not now.

[....he can’t argue that. Not only is it correct— he doesn’t have much energy to argue. So he keeps drinking with a subtle nod.]

...right. Not yet...
quickpersuader: (Blown by)

[She waits until he's drank enough for her approval before returning to the bag for the sandwich.]

Sit up. Choking to death isn't fun, either.

[She will feed him this damned thing by hand if need be.]

[He sighs, but does so anyway; swinging his legs over the edge and sitting there while she goes to get the bag.]
quickpersuader: (by the wind)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-06 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She will hold out the sandwich for exactly five seconds to take. If he doesn't in that time, she's going to push it at his mouth like with the drink. It's a simple BLT.]

[It takes him approximately six seconds to take the sandwich. As it inches closer he knows what's coming and intercepts. Yes, yes... he can do this.]

...is this the reason you came here?

[There's no judgment but-- he is a bit curious. It was still early enough. He didn't expect anyone to come looking so soon, even if a very small part of him didn't expect anyone to come at all.]
quickpersuader: (checking the clouds)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-07 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
...None of us were expecting Mr. Oda to be there. [And Dazai's shock was even more obvious.]

I didn't want you getting any ideas about quitting early.

[personal profile] pursuitofdeath 2018-11-07 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
I knew Oda was planning something stupid. And yet I thought perhaps-- no. I'd hoped against better logic that the outcome would be a better one than this.

[It didn't work.]

...there aren't so many of us left anymore. No room to be so choosy at this point.
quickpersuader: (we travel the world)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-07 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She does listen to the first part, though she only nods at the end.]

Exactly. So I'd appreciate it very much if you would stick around and help us.
