WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

You're a frequent coffee shop visitor?

[ Akira runs his nail along the wood of the counter, feeling the grain of it and taking in the familiarity of the coffee scents and the scent of curry. ]

[devotingly]

Depends on whether you want to be optimistic or pessimistic. [ he shrugs ] They could've done it to get our attention that he's someone we should work with...or because they wanted someone else to see it. Someone from above.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Huh. Thought there was gonna be a sword in there. Time to get out the notebook...]

What if something gets too close?

[buriedearth]

Nothing at all?

[ He sighs...damn, this sucked. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... That's fair.

[... Alright, he's curious.]

Have you... um... actually confessed to him then...?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... At... at least we only have two or three more weeks left. I... I think.

[swordsinternally]

Don't worry, I'm pretty athletic, so I can always use my arms and legs. I don't exactly have a good place to put Tawrich and Zarich and make it easy to grab right now.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It sounds quite lovely.

[Well... minus the areas you have to watch yourself]

Were there any dishes you particularly liked?

[covertizer]

[ Akira sits himself up properly, and watches as Tsukasa messes with the panel and changes the eerie blue goal of the Velvet Room into-- well. Wow.

Tsukasa hadn't been kidding about the size of the Emiya estate. He knows what big, traditional houses look like in theory, but one of this size is... impressive. Yeah. Very impressive. ]

You weren't kidding.

[ He drags himself to his feet and shifts over to sit himself down comfortably next to Tsukasa, and looks up at the sky as well. ]

...

Where I live in Tokyo has some decently sized places, considering everyone thinks of tiny 1LDKs. But this is another level.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I am.

[He accidentally became best friends with a murder clown... but Rebecca doesn't need to know that.]

He's.... interesting.

[swordsinternally]

Yeah. I actually like it here a lot. It might not be my real home, but... I was never lonely in this place. The dojo is over there, [ he points out ] and then there's the storage shed. I usually practiced magic in the storage shed, in fact.

But this spot had the best view.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... I'll be sure to write it down then. Perhaps I could find you a late birthday present around here....

[He... thinks he saw some stuffed animals in the arcade prize stall? Maybe he could try and get one of those larger ones... He wonders if there's any vultures. Gogol reminds him of one. Loud, has a neck frill, found near dead bodies...]

... Oh... and... um... mine's January 19.

[covertizer]

...

Promises don't mean much here, sensei. I asked Henry-san to promise he would keep himself safe.

[ "Look how that turned out", are the unspoken words. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I... suppose it could be...?

[Akira no.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I... I used to be one before what happened six years ago with Ranpo-kun...

[.......]

I'm... now planning to start venturing out into them again though.

[covertizer]

[ That's a lot of message, but it makes him smile. ]

You too. Things are more complicated there then we thought, huh?

Say hi to the others from me. We miss all of you.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

What's taurich and zarich?

[He probably misspelled the names.]

[devotingly]

[ well, considering how it's a game over for waver, he decides to turn around to look at poe. ]

Yeah. Just...wanted to try it out, I guess.

[covertizer]

Probably not, it's a bit of a weird one to explain.

[ He laughs, and pushes one of the empty test tubes along the counter. ]

In short terms: if you think it, your subconscious makes it real. Say I were holding a rubber knife; if you were looking at it from a distance you'd think it were real... so it is real.

I put together things that could act as smokescreens, but I do think the cognitive pscience side of things is what made it work.

[covertizer]

[ Akira angles himself so it's easier for Rantaro to see and grab the notes if he wants. Go read, friend. ]

[covertizer]

Eeh...

I might be able to knock someone out if I hit them with it. But so far that's about it.

[swordsinternally]

They're a pair of twin swords that I owned as Angra Mainyu.

[ososoi]

[ ...Despite what happened yesterday, Osomatsu eventually leaves his room. ]

[ He visits the large wooden shrine located outside by the closest corner to the dorms. For now, it just looks like he's sitting in front of it. ]

[ He's carrying a crow plushie with him. And he's still wearing the magatama around his neck. He's got several 'security blankets' at this point. Or rather, tragic keepsakes. They can go both ways, honestly. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It's... good to try new things. Broaden your horizons.

[He's... not a fan of arcades personally... but maybe trying a few games out sometime wouldn't hurt.]

[buriedearth]

[ ... ]

...We should be trying to put an end to this somehow--before then.

[ Terra feels like they should be doing more. But what else can they do? They're trying their best. ]
