Week 5.

[trustfellowship]

WEEK 5 Another week has passed; another two people have died. Tsubasa Hanekawa and Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra have joined the ranks of the deceased. Whatever you may have thought about them in the end, one thing hovers heavy over the group: the fact that neither their compassion nor their ambition was enough to keep them alive in here. Is yours? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; the static blares out early on Sunday, but at least there are no bodies to find today - it seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... And of course, with another successful trial comes a new addition to the building, another corridor opening up on the west side of the building. The doors leading to it branch off of the hallways leading to the second and fourth sections of the building; have those doors always been there? You can't remember... It's a new week. Of course, that means you've been here for over a month, and your stay doesn't seem to be coming to a close yet. PATIENTS REMAINING: 22

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

"Have you forgotten?"
"Who..? Who am I? Who are you?"
"I am Aigis, and you...Your true name is--"

[ Maybe it wasn't too much of a surprise that Ryoji was quiet during the trial and absent from the after party, it hit everyone pretty hard after all. And given his views on romance and well, his current romance, it's possible that's what's bothering him. What's probably stranger is the fact that he's not around all day Sunday either, and while you can knock on his door he's not answering for anyone.

Late Sunday evening however, long after the night siren he can be found in the chapel though he doesn't linger here for long. Looks like he's not intent on praying or anything of the sort, but he seems to have a curiosity of the place. Where he settles for the night is the library, which he hasn't much frequented before either. He mostly came here assuming it would be empty at this hour, but he's grabbed a book for the sake of something to read-- looks to be one on mythology. ]

Library

[Wheatley doesn't sleep at all, and this is the first time he has been wandering around. Earlier events made him a bit restless, so he's going around -- and now there's Ryoji. Getting his guard up just in case Ryoji tries to attack him, Wheatley enters the library]

Mythology, I see. Humans sure have a lot of folklore, stories, all that. Are you looking for something specific? I'm a treasure trove of knowledge, you know!

[Those last few words were said with a bit more force than usual]

But I didn't think you were interested in these things. That's unusual. Or maybe I'm wrong and you always were into reading. I don't know.

[cadmiums]

[ Given...everything, Wheately is actually not the worst company that could have stumbled upon him tonight. Ryoji closes the book he was reading, turning to look at the friendly robot. ]

They do. Humans wonder about a lot of things: their reason for being, the meaning of life, the inevitably of death. They don't have those answers, so they invent them-- but who could blame them. [ He tilts his head to the side. ]

I felt like doing something different.

[dangerousfool]

I'm not sure how exactly they created all those stories, many of them seem so outlandish I'm not sure how they thought it was possible. But I'm from a place of science, scientists aren't known for, you know, believing in myths. Logic and rational stuff, that's all they talk about.

[The deeper meanings of mythology and the such are definitely away from Wheatley's understanding, that's for sure.

Still, even though Ryoji does seem the kind to do stuff around for a change, there may be a reason for that, and given what day this is, Wheatley only sees one possibility]

Did you remember something bad last night?

[cadmiums]

The truth is often strange and bitter.

[ He considers for a moment, and his response comes as uncharacteristically cool, plainly stated. ]

I don't think bad is the right way to describe it. But I did remember something important, yes.

chapel

[ossifragant]

[Greed is in the room when Ryoji arrives, and he looks up at him curiously. The last couple of days have been.... long, to say the least, and Greed looks hesitant before he addresses the kid.]

Haven't seen you all day.

[He looks a little tentative saying it, but his expression is definitely one of concern.]

[cadmiums]

Hello, Greed. [ It's warranted, given that Ryoji's response is awfully brisk. ]

I was...busy. A lot has happened these past few days, you know?

[ossifragant]

Yeah, I know.

[Boy, does he. He sighs, falling silent.]

You want to talk about it? I doubt anyone's gonna bug us this time of day.

[cadmiums]

Mm, that's true. [ And he likes Greed, more than he likes most others here. ]

I remembered something important, it's put a lot of things into perspective for me. It's also the reason why I get along with you so well, I think.

library

[carnivorously]

[Nights and days don't matter to Kogami (aside from the kitchen), when he's awake, he's awake. The library has been a good addition since he can at least go to that and get something to occupy his mind other than his thoughts.

However, seeing Ryoji there is almost a surprise. Less than a surprise as working out, but still one.]

You look preoccupied.

[cadmiums]

[ ... ]

Not particularly. It's been a long time since I've read something, so I thought I might switch things up a bit.

[carnivorously]

What are you planning on reading?

[He nods to the book. It looks like a mythology book from his standpoint.]

[cadmiums]

It's a collection of Greek mythologies. I'm not really familiar with them, though I am with Japanese mythos. Are you?

[ The book has several tales, King Midas, Cupid, the Trojan War, Odysseus and so on. ]

Library

[heritrix]

[There he is. Rin is a little irritated with him right now; fully intending to give him a piece of her mind she strides over, but of all things Ryoji's choice of literature saves this conversation from starting off with a tirade. Rin sits down across from him, a props up her chin.]

The legends don't do them justice.

[Regarding the mythology he's reading; if he's still on the Greek mythology.]

[cadmiums]

Really? That would be interesting to see. [ His voice lacks his usual cheer, but an attempt is made given her company. ]

[heritrix]

That's one word for it. I'd say it's more of an adrenaline rush.

[She ends up smiling back, despite herself.]

[cadmiums]

If you want to tell me about it, I'll gladly listen. [ He didn't want company, but this topic perks his interest. It's easier than him trying to hold a usual conversation at any rate, and like with Kogami, she's too astute to really deceive. ]

library

[arebetter]

[ She just came here to put a book back, but... ]

Haven't seen you around today.

[cadmiums]

You were looking for me? I've been, ah, busy. [ That totally sounds like an acceptable answer, sure Ryoji. ]

[arebetter]

[ Here she is, in her skull PJs, having spent much of her day stewing over her own memory, and this boy says this to her. ]

Busy, huh? With what?

[cadmiums]

[ He likes Pizzazz, he really does, but she's a-

He doesn't really have it in him to lie right now. ]

The same thing you've been doing, I imagine.

Library

[aspiringly]

[It may be late, but sometimes that just means it's the best time to have the place to yourself so that it's easier to find a book without any interruptions. ...Or so it would seem, were it not for Ryoji already being there. ...Mythology, huh.]

A little late to be studying, isn't it? At the very least, it might be safer to do this in your room if you plan to continue reading.

[cadmiums]

I'm not studying, we never had to learn about Greek mythology in school.

[ The safety comment goes unanswered, purposely. ]

[aspiringly]

[He notices the lack of response there, but he doesn't see any point in pushing the matter anyways.]

Studying doesn't always need to be done for school; sometimes, simply desiring knowledge is enough. But if that's the case, were you always curious about Greek mythology, then?

[cadmiums]

No, not really.
