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.]

[No, nonononono. No. No, there's got to be something they can do-- they have a fucking doctor, and a robotics professor. There's-- he should have made a copy of his code or. or something. As Connor's grip grows weak, han grips his hand harder, and then starts crying.

His stupid boyfriend has the worst sense of timing in the whole... fucking.... universe.]

You... You tell me that now.

[not yesterday. not when he said it to him. but now. when what han had feared was going to happen the whole time comes to light.]

... I can't believe you.

[his voice is shaky and he pulls his hand closer]

You-- I'm going to fix this. Okay? i.

[He swallows.]

I love you too.

[preconstruction]

I told you before. Monday.

[ connor's a robot with impeccable memory. he doesn't mind reminding his fragile human boyfriend. then again, maybe he's the one that's fragile. right now he certainly feels it.

his eyes are so heavy -- he closes them, his led running slower and slower and he runs out of thirium. ]

I can say it again so you don't forget, okay? I love you too.

[ 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, ...

connor is dead ]

[foo_bar]

[And now, Han's just, not going to move.

He's just going to stay there, til long after his shoulders stop shaking with sobs. He doesn't want to leave him-- even though he knows he's gone.

Just... let him stay there.]

[buriedearth]

[ Around this time, Terra will finally arrive -- there's a lot of people here and...he'll manage to get by them, at least to get a better view. Technically he doesn't since he's taller, but... ]

...Han? What's--

[ ... Oh. ]

[foo_bar]

[oh... is right.

he finally sits back, and just. stares.]

[buriedearth]

...Are you--

[ This is awkward, and he has no idea what to do or say.

Around this time he hears the commotion from Rebecca's end, but the fact that it seems resolved for now brings his attention back to Han. ]

Do you want to...maybe move? Place his body elsewhere?

[ Nailed it. ]

[foo_bar]

[he looks up and--]

Yeah.

We should do that.

[he stands up-- he seems to have... gotten the feeling out enough that he can move, at least.]

[buriedearth]

Do you need help with the... body?

[ ... He's going to continue to be somewhat awkward about this, sorry Han. He's trying his best but even seeing dead people never stops it from being a thing.

Also it might be because he's thinking about checking in a bit with Han's state, since...he definitely saw upset he was over this. ]

[throwabookatit]

[ She's watched from the side. Through her tears. In her horror. And it's only now that she sees the blank android still standing there, the pieces of Connor's...something on the ground.

She's still got the damn bag of thirium, sitting next to her.

Someone...might want to hold her back. Because in an instant, she's on her feet, screaming, and aiming a punch for the android's face. ]

[newhire]

Rebecca no!

[Vivienne will race over to hold her back.]

You mustn't!

[throwabookatit]

Let me go--!! You...! Your stupid-- fucking things-- you couldn't even save him!

[ She struggles. After everything, this too? ]

[newhire]

I know that!! So then-- punch me! You have my permission-- just. Just don't get yourself killed too!

You're right. I couldn't do anything. So... so take it out on me... and... and live dammit!!

[throwabookatit]

[ Three people, trying to hold her back. She turns to Vivienne best she can and fine. Fine, let her go and she'll do it, she'll...

Just kind of weakly punch her arm and tremble. She can't take it here much longer. Really, she can't. ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[What was all the commotion about-

Connor's dead.

Viv is holding Rebecca back.

Rebecca is trying to punch a robot.

He decides helping Viv hold Rebecca back is the smart thing to do here.]

[devotingly]

Rebecca!

[ waver will immediately throw himself to hold a vice grip on rebecca's arm. ]

It'll attack you! Stop! That's not what Connor would want!

[throwabookatit]

Stop it- stop it, what th- the hell would you know, about what he'd want?!

[ That's...two people. And she's honestly exhausted. It's hard for her to struggle. ]

I can't...take this anymore, I can't take- just watching...!

[devotingly]

Because he talked to me, Gales!! And--

[ he tugs on her arm, trying to keep her away ]

And I don't want to lose you, too!

[throwabookatit]

[ She struggles, gritting her teeth and pulling back, biting her lip so hard, gaze blurry-- ]

You...! Y-you damn...brat, I--

[ She's trying not to cry. It's not...working well. ]

[ososoi]

[ And then it's over. ]

[ Osomatsu shakily lifts his hands away from Connor's 'wound'. ]

[ They're covered in blue. ]

[ Osomatsu can't stop staring at them. ]
