Week 4.
Three more Competitors died this past week. Chitoge Kirisaki tried to take matters into her own hands only to be punished as a result while William Flemming and Archie both tried to take the Adjudicator up on his word and escape. Three more of you are gone, but there's no going back now. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. 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... Once again, another set of doors has opened up - this time at the end of the western corridor, leading up and toward the north. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it a reward for surviving another week. |
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week four of Trustfell! Don't forget to save your threads for coins and the activity check, and don't forget to submit this week's activity check and memory regains!
If you'd like to get in contact with the Adjudicator, you can do so here!]
no subject
[He's just going to accept that. Sure. Why not. Other worlds are fuckin' weird.]
no subject
Yeah. We call them Risen and sometimes groups of them show up and attack.
no subject
That sounds awful. But you're used to fighting them?
no subject
no subject
[The undead are... weird, but he can understand how fighting the living will fuck you up. Really badly.]
I don't remember what happened at the end of the war, but I do know that it's over now. I've had two of those dreams that confirmed it. But I understand what it's like.
[He absently reaches up to rub at his right shoulder before stopping himself.]
If you ever want to talk about that sorta thing, I'll listen. It's not something you can talk about with everyone.
no subject
I didn't mean to bring up such dreary things. Anyway, we got rid of the Risen, and then this beautiful maiden caught my eye... her hair was red and looked as soft as silk.
no subject
(Social interactions are hard and no one understands.)]
Um... Yeah. Did you get a chance to talk to her?
[The words just sort of happen and it's obvious that he's still ??????? over the first part of what Inigo said but it was sort of an attempt? A bad one. Yikes.]
no subject
[ ...He can see the "???????", maybe he shouldn't have done... that... He brings a hand to his collar and idly toys with it for a moment while he thinks. ]
...I appreciate the offer, you know, I just don't think it's... necessary. I don't want to dump my burdens on you.
no subject
But I understand what you're going through better than most people here, right? At least when it comes to war. Isn't it better to trouble me than it would be to worry them?
[??????????????]
no subject
...I'm used to keeping things to myself, Isaac. I'm supposed to be Inigo the Invincible who always smiles and isn't troubled by anything. People depend on me so I have to stay strong for them.
cw: suicide mention
...Everyone thought I was like that. I guess I'm kind of unapproachable. I didn't make friends during the Ishval War. I didn't have anyone to talk to and I didn't want to bother anyone. So things kept building up and eventually... Eventually I decided that maybe it'd be better if I died. I wouldn't hurt anyone else.
[That's going to be really ugly come Monday. Isaac continues after a brief pause.]
Kimblee was the only person who stopped to ask how I was holding up. I'm still not sure why he did it. Maybe I looked like I was falling apart or maybe it was just curiosity. It doesn't really matter. He was able to convince me that the only thing I could do was to keep moving forward. No matter what orders I was given or what I was facing, I wasn't doing it alone.
...Staying strong for people is nice in theory. But you're going to get worn down. Eventually you're going to need someone to lean on and if everyone thinks you're invincible, where are you supposed to turn?
Just keep that in mind, alright?
no subject
He doesn't say anything, he lets Isaac talk without trying to interrupt him, his gaze focused on the water. It takes him a long moment to process all that once it's out there; his eyes widen and he inhales sharply once he remembers to breathe and he can feel something wet forming in his eye. ]
I... [ He honestly has no idea what to say. His lip is quivering a little. ] Y-You're right.
[ A tear begins to trickle down his cheek, followed by another. ]
no subject
[Despite the words, the tension leaves him. He's not really sure what to do with the tears but he tries to think of something else to say that's less... all of that.]
Sorry, that was a lot to tell you. But I really do think it's important to let yourself break every once in awhile. If you want most people to think you're invincible, that's okay. But as long as there's one person you can trust with everything, I think you'll be alright.
[...It was an attempt? Oh man.]
no subject
[ He seems to have calmed down a little, and once the tears stop flowing he wipes them away with the back of his hand. ]
no subject
I haven't been in your exact situation, obviously, but I'm sure it's really rough too. For what it's worth, I think you're handling it alright. I personally wouldn't handle it like that, but you do seem to be fine most of the time.
[It doesn't mean you are though and that seems to be a running theme with Isaac's conversations here.]
