KARA and LILI

[voidbreaker]

i have a feeling we'll need this

Comments

week 3, saturday.

[unfriendliest]

[ i realized we had a pc in dana's journal but this image is funny so here i am. i also have no idea where these losers are, but ash will be invited to dragon cabin i guess? so that's? an option? i don't know. you guys figure it out.

WHEREVER THEY ARE, once ash appears, kara perks up, just a little. he doesn't smile, though, so maybe only lili will notice? ]

Did either of you find out who cursed us?

[coastal]

[she notices kara's reaction and has to pretend she's not amused by it - she's similarly going to fluster just a bit when ash comes in, despite anticipating him coming in]

... I still think that Beau and Nie might've lied about his plush.

[voidbreaker]

[ i just woke up and i’m immediately so tired again. anyway. ]

I think you guys have the edge of figuring out powers and abilities more than I do. And... I dunno if Beau would lie though. Huaisang killed someone in self defence back at the mansion, and he hid it because it was apparently scared of being executed when he would’ve died if he didn’t fight back.

... I don’t really care about his deal, he kinda almost fucked us over given we could confess to crimes. But that’s why Beau flipped the way she did. I don’t know everything about her but I don’t necessarily think she’d lie to put someone innocent at risk.

[unfriendliest]

I don't. Lili does.

[ everyone talks to lili! ]

...She got angry at all of us for even suspecting that it could have been him. It makes sense to believe she would lie for him.

[ the more he learns about nhs, the more kara decides he could really hate that guy, if they'd actually talked. ]

But I don't know if he'd have known to target us, anyway. Lili and me, maybe, but not Ash. It had to be someone who knows the three of us are close.

[coastal]

C-Close...

[i hate that this is embarrassing her, but it does. are they close!! is it okay to assume something like that with ash!! wow!]

.... I don't know anything about Beau and his relationship, but I think... I have a lead... I'm going to follow it, and I'll let either of you know what becomes of it.

[so who can say!! but actually there's just a kotatsu hanging out in dragon cabin, which is where i assume lili is, blanket pulled up to her shoulders. she gestures for ash to sit]

Here, sit though...

[voidbreaker]

[ they're probably all huddled and that makes me laugh. ]

It's more complicated than that. I don't even know what it is, I just know it's complicated. Beau's fair though, she didn't do us wrong before and... well, hopefully this doesn't make her bitter. [ beau no good, very bad week. ]

... Can you say the name of the team the lead's in?

[ well, he's gonna sit. under the kotatsu. they're warm now. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ kara's just sat comfortably next to lili, probably, but the blanket's just on his lap like a normal person ]

How are you planning to follow it? It's not likely they'll be honest about it.

[ since they're probably a murderer or covering for one. what other reason would they have had for cursing them? ]

week 4, monday

[coastal]

[god she hates boys

she's wrangling ash and kara both into some place with less people - someone pick a location i'm lazy - and her tone implies that she's not leaving a lot of room for argument.]

Let's clear up what happened this weekend and then get to business, shall we?

[SHE'S IRRITABLE but probably only because she's with the people she was cursed to,,,]

I already know who used the stupid love power on us - they're going to come find you both this week to apologize. Take it as gracefully as you can.

If there's any misunderstandings about where we stand, I'd like that cleared up.

But once we get that out of the way, I want a tally of everyone whose powers or teams we all individually know so we can have direction about who we need to ask this week.

[unfriendliest]

They've already spoken to me. As long as it isn't used on me again, it's fine. The other curse is the one I have a problem with.

[ lili should know how kara feels about being cursed lmao. ]

Besides the three of us... I know powers for Akira, Escha, and the one with the love power. [ he doesn't want to doxx them before they talk to ash. ] And Taako's team. Everyone else is dead.

[voidbreaker]

[ you gave me this power so i'm gonna say they're awkward huddled down by the lake because apparently i just default to lake. ]

[ also lili being irritable is just like a natural phenomenon at this point. ]

Yeah, they already found me. It's fine, I get what they thought would happen even if it was a hugeass stretch. [ ... ] Least we know one power doesn't cancel out the other personally now. I'm more bothered by whoever did the first curse too.

[ and then he just stops talking because? who knows if there are any misunderstandings with where they stand he's the outlier here it's not really his call. ]

[coastal]

I don't have a lead on the first curse after all - so it's either that Nie lied about what he used his plush for when it came to Beau, or an entirely separate killer targeted us. We'll need to learn about powers in order to cancel that out.

[ . . . . . . lili also doesn't know if there's any. misunderstandings. she'll circle back to it, because kara brought up powers.]

... my hands are tied until next week about being able to freely ask people for powers. Everyone keeps confessing theirs to me when I have no availability left to tell them mine in exchange, so I'm paying my debts this week.

Besides us three, I know the power or team of Akira, Asch, Belph, Dimitri, Flayn, Magnus, Majima, Natalie, Tonbokiri, Yin Yu, and Zenitsu. I also have an exchange planned with Dick this week.

[unfriendliest]

They'll be less forthcoming about the doll powers, now that they've used it. They won't want us to find them.

[ with good reason, but. that's annoying. ]

I was planning to talk to Minako and 45 this week.

[voidbreaker]

That's a pain in the ass. Wonder if they can be persuaded.

[ ... right, powers. ]

I know the whole bundle for Akira, Flayn, you guys and Wright. [ although the last one is ongoing because SIPP our PC ] And a whole lot of dead people's.

... I'm gonna see if Beau's willing to talk powers, but I'm not holding my breath. Other than than, I might ask Chef and see if he feels like sharing.

week 4, friday immediately

[coastal]

[good morning, the rest of isolation cabin. lili's going to startle awake, realize that zenitsu isn't there and even as she moves to rush to her feet - she.

stumbles as her entire body feels like it's in pain. a rush of emotions overtake her so intensely that she can't speak, and her hand flies to her sternum.

when she pulls her hand away it's - red?]

[unfriendliest]

[ as soon as he notices hes rushing to her side, everything else forgotten. ]

Lili?! What happened?

[ SHOULD HE APPLY PRESSURE, WHAT THE FUCK ]

[voidbreaker]

[ sure why not let's have this happen too. ]

Shit-- what??

[ do they even have first aid stuff in here? help? ]

[coastal]

[it takes her a second to seem to process, her mind running and racing as she listens to the voices make their announcements. it's only when they say the list of names that her eyes start to water, tears pricking.]

... Yin Yu's power.

[ . . . . ]

I'm linked to someone. These... feelings are theirs. This injury is theirs.

[she tries to explain, but there is definitely an edge of panic in her voice as it starts to waver.]

[unfriendliest]

[ there's a flare of anger that comes with understanding. it's - an okay strategy, logistically speaking. if they can find the one she's connected to, then they'll find - ]

His killer.

[ and that's undoubtedly important, but. ]

I don't know how to treat these wounds. We need to find Dick, now.

[voidbreaker]

...

Well hopefully that means we'll catch one of them. Which team was he on, Yin Yu?

[ he's already opening the door to the cabin. ]

Sooner we find Grayson the better. First aid ain't my forte and we don't have the tools here to clean and bandage her up safely.

week 5, sunday

[coastal]

[that was such a fucking mess.

lili probably slammed into kara as soon as humanly possible, given everything, and then grabbed ash once akira seemed stable enough so that she could get help bringing kara to the nurse's office. how the fuck do you manage chainsaw wounds. ash's weapon is bullshit maybe he knows.

but once they've stopped most of the major bleeding she

just reaches for his hand and cries quietly. sorry. it's been.

a weekend.]

[unfriendliest]

[ the second ookurikara realized that he was done, and the adrenaline began to fade, his legs had given out from under him. he'd been bleeding the whole time, from old wounds and new, and dick was not an unskilled fighter. of course this battle took a lot out of him.

at least he had help, getting to the nurse's office. it's one of the few times he'll accept it, as he lies back on the bed and just. closes his eyes for a bit, and tries to breathe.

lili will feel a weak squeeze from his hand. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ well ash has been here enough times this week that he just automatically goes for the cupboards and digs out some packages, not rolls of bandages, piling them into his arms before returning to where kara and lili are. ]

... Shit I don't even know where to start with you.

[ which terrible chainsaw wound is bleeding the most intensely, help a guy out. ]

[coastal]

[ . . . he's still here. and she can't help the relief of that. even through everything, she is relieved.]

... Ash, hand me some.

[she'll assist. she'll move forward.]

[unfriendliest]

...Shoulder.

[ his right shoulder is the worst off. the chain had gotten stuck there just deep enough to torture, but not to sever the arm. the other wound is on the left side of his torso, a lighter one but probably still bleeding profusely from all the movement.

but he is alive. ]

[voidbreaker]

Alright.

[ fuck he is not a medic. ]

Lili, deal with the side. Ookurikara, I'm gonna have to shift you to get at that wound-- so... I dunno. Bite something or brace yourself. [ because he's gonna try and be careful, but he'll... have to sit him up to properly get the bandages on him. he'll work quickly though, and these are the hemostatic bandages he used on akira's leg so it shouldn't bleed through as quickly. ]
