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

INVESTIGATION

[heritrix]

["Oh, I'm so angry! So basically, you're always worrying about others and never focusing on yourself!"
"Whoa, hey—"
"Shut up! No backtalk! I kept thinking you were similar, but I never imagined you were this identical!"

"Really? Then you two are okay with completely submitting to my plans?"
"Don't be so sinister! Anyway, I said I'd tag along with you, not go out on a date with you. I thought it would be nice to take a breather, all three of us—"
"Sorry~! But that's what the world calls a "date"."

"Why are you here? ...Go home. I don't know what you're trying to prove, but you're being a nuisance."
"I won't leave. I promised that I'd fight alongside you, remember?"
"Forget about that stupid promise. Anyway, what can you possibly do as you are now? [.....] That's all there is to say. You've lost Saber, and you're no longer a Master. There's no more reason for you to be involved in the Holy Grail War, so bow out here."
"Not so fast, Tohsaka! Even if that's true—"
Amidst the blowing winds, she leaps off the skyscraper without hesitation. Shirou is frantically yelling after her, but there's no need for that. Archer is at her side, and he will catch her every time. There's nothing she has left to give Shirou but a final warning.

"Stay out of this from now on, or you're dead."


...Ah. An almost happy memory; it was ruined at the last moment, but when Rin wakes it's to the phantom feeling of Archer's hand, warm at her back, and Fuyuki's winter wind chilling her skin. She thinks she's caught up now.

Her first stop of the day is at the infirmary, of course. It's Sunday, which means new supplies for her, which in turn means carting them back to her room for safekeeping. Feel free to run into her there or in between the halls. Most of the way towards Room 9 she's lost in thought, making it all the way to Room 30 before she realizes she passed her room. Well. Back the way she came then.

Afterwards, Rin checks out the new corridor. Initially, it's location interests her, but she finds the new rooms disappointing. Actually, if you encounter her outside the arcade room she is making the most put out face. That said, the mystery room definitely stirs intrigue, and Rin will return there later with her silver key. Time for an investigation that may or may not get anywhere, depending.]

halls

[carnivorously]

[You know, he does notice that Rin goes past their little neighborhood when he exits his room. He watches her go to the end of the hall then come back as if she had honestly missed her turn.

That's not normal.]

What's on your mind, Tohsaka?

[heritrix]

Hm?

[She was paying closer attention on the second trip back; it would be embarrassing to miss her stop again, after all. Nevertheless, Rin still appears distracted. Despite that she clearly say Kogami there, she looks as if she was unaware of how long he was watching her, and that she didn't expect him to speak.]

Oh. That connect-the-dots is an annoying game.

[carnivorously]

You know, it's not a good sign if you're connecting dots that no one else can see.

[He means about her wandering.]

There's a lot of people not out today or pretty damn down.

[Well, he means he can guess why, he just wonders if this is more than just coincidence that everyone seems to be feeling in the shitter today.]

[heritrix]

[That joke flies right over her head.]

I've noticed. For a moment, I thought I was—well, that's neither here nor there.

[carnivorously]

I wonder if people got hit by bad memories last night.

[Judging by how calm Kogami is, clearly he was not one of them. Still, it's weird that everyone's like this. Maybe he has no memories to piss him off or make him feel in the shitter. That'd be nice.]

[heritrix]

Mm, probably. Or ones that felt draining in general.

[She felt wiped out after the one she had last week. She didn't leave her room until nearly 5 PM that day.]

How did you sleep?

infirmary

[crywiththesaints]

Ah, good morning. [Sakura peers in the doorway with a frown.] Are you injured?

[heritrix]

[Towards the back of the room at a certain cabinet, Rin plucks out supplies and looks back over her shoulder.]

Just doing a supply run. Good morning, Kashima-san.

[crywiththesaints]

I see. You must be working hard on a project. I don't blame you, it's been far too long in this place.

[heritrix]

This is something I do every week, actually. It's step one of my tedious, daily routine.

[crywiththesaints]

Is it related to your inventory keeping, then?

[heritrix]

Mhmm. Don't worry, a few others here know about it.

outside arcade room

[preciousking]

[ If she's standing around out here Mikoto's bound to run into her eventually. Not literally, more figuratively.

When he does and he sees that weird look on her face, he glances between the arcade and Rin as if he's trying to piece together a mystery. When he can't, he nudges her with his foot and looks at her as if to say, "what?"

Communicating with words is hard, ok. ]

[heritrix]

Mmph. [She stands up straighter, glancing at the shoulder he bumped into, and then the person attached to it, staring at her expectantly.] Are you a zombie now? Have some manners.

[preciousking]

[ The one flaw in his plan was he forgot people here don't speak the same language he does. That is, knowing what he wants from his expressions and body language. He has to actually talk to her now.

With a click of his tongue, he looks away from Rin and mutters lowly to himself: ] Zombies again? [ And then addresses Rin more clearly. ]

What are you doing?

[heritrix]

[Hey, in time maybe she'll adjust. Haha. Time.]

I was looking into the new room. It's... eye-catching.

[She tries to compliment it?? This is the only good thing she has to say...]

[preciousking]

Only if you're a fan of neon lights and eye-searing colors. Which I didn't take you for.

[ From the trials and that singular time they spoke, he thought she was rude enough to call out a gaudy room for what it was. Then again, what does he know? Maybe she has a secret fondness for arcades. ]

[heritrix]

If it was a fair, it'd be one thing.

[Nope, he was right the first time!]

[trustfellowship]

[Hello, Rin! I'm assuming you're here to try the key on the door?]

[heritrix]

[Hello! Yes, yes she is. She's got the key and is ready to go, unless this lock looks like it would need something else entirely.]

[trustfellowship]

[It looks like it does take a key, actually.

...However, it doesn't seem to take the key you've got. You can try it, but it won't unlock.]

[heritrix]

[Well fiddlesticks. So much for that. Rin might look for interesting marks on the door, but aside from that she'll just have to tell Pizzazz about this so the other girl can try her key.

That done, can we actually fast forward a bit and switch rooms? She told Kashima today she'd also try the lock one the media room cabinet?]

[trustfellowship]

[You can!

...And wouldn't you know it, it clicks in without absolutely frying you with electricity. Or even slightly frying you with electricity. Good job, the key works!]

[heritrix]

[Thank you, Madison. Rin never comes in this room unless expressly ordered too, and might have forgotten there was a lock in here if not for that comment at the meeting.

It's really great not to be zapped! Let's open this bad boy up and see what we got in here. Is it a kidney.]
