Comments

week four, friday

[survivaltricks]

[haha! well!! as far as Fridays go, this one is pretty shitty! Akira is difficult to find soon after the body announcement, but. . . eventually? he manages to tap dance (??!??!?!!) his way to the new library cabin]

[I]

[sure hope Ash isn't interrupted by the sound of Akira's feet thumping against the cabin floor]

[voidbreaker]

[ it's fine he's only focused enough on his book to take in the odd bit anyway. he just glances up when akira tap dances his way into the room and just

looks tired. ]

[survivaltricks]

[AKIRA]

[ALSO LOOKS TIRED]

[and he doesn't even say a damn word as he tap dances over to where Ash is sitting and]

[plops into a seat himself]

[and then thunks his head against the table]

[voidbreaker]

[ hm. ]

Where'd you take a nap yesterday?

[survivaltricks]

. . . the entertainment cabin.

[ugh]

And you?

[voidbreaker]

Isolation cabin.

... Zenitsu was there with us.

[ he looks. conflicted. And then more determined than anything: ]

Did you use your power yesterday?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . oh. Akira's expression falls as he lifts his head]

Yin Yu was with us in the entertainment cabin.

[so. mood]

And no. . . I didn't.

[voidbreaker]

Promise me you won’t use it, we need it on Sunday.

[ ... ] Yin Yu used his power on Lili. So we need it to not be on her when execution rolls around.

[survivaltricks]

[oh]

[he huffs out a breath, lips twitching]

I know. I already heard.

Don't worry; if Yin Yu's plan works and we find out who killed him, I'll save it for her so she doesn't die on Sunday, too.

[voidbreaker]

[ he nods, looking a bit more relaxed than he did a minute or so ago. ]

I did tell her I’d ask you, but I guess being patient ain’t in her vocabulary.

[survivaltricks]

[oh my god. JUST. . . SHOOTS HIM AN AMUSED LOOK]

It's cute that you're worried about her.

[voidbreaker]

Yeah?

She’s my friend. I’m not interested in seeing any of you die.

[survivaltricks]

She's my friend, too. [his own features soften at that]

And I won't let her die. I promise.

[voidbreaker]

She's the sort of person who'd probably roll with it for the "greater good" even if she didn't really want to, so yeah. We've gotta stop that from happening.

[ also because cucking dana from death is my favourite hobby ]

[survivaltricks]

[DANA DESERVES TO BE CUCKED FROM DEATH]

Well, she's an idiot. And pointless sacrifice is dumb.

[HE WON'T ALLOW FOR IT]

All that aside, I took a look at the bonfire. It smells like chemicals and there's shrapnel buried in the dirt near it.

[voidbreaker]

She is. But it's the same kind of self-sacrificing morality I'm used to dealing with so I think we can sort her out.

[ rip dana's chances of death ]

Shrapnel? What kind?

[survivaltricks]

[he shakes his head]

I couldn't tell.

[. . .]

Ash. . . do you have your heat-seeking missile with you?

[voidbreaker]

[ hold up, some pack diggin's going on and then ash will present uno skydancer for akira's approval. ]

You checking everyone then?

[survivaltricks]

[well, he looks relieved when he sees it, at least]

Everyone I know who has an explosive. Not that I think the shrapnel belonged to a sky dancer, but it's better to check.

[voidbreaker]

Any ideas what it might've actually belonged to?

[survivaltricks]

I have a few theories, but nothing I can confirm now.

[see: the hair-dye can theory he has back during trial]

[voidbreaker]

[ whomp whomp ]

Right.

It should be an interesting trial.

[survivaltricks]

[WHOMP WHOMP]

Aren't they all "interesting?"

[AIR QUOTES]

[voidbreaker]

Do you want me to say "action packed" instead?

[survivaltricks]

No, because then it sounds like you're advertising for some kind of movie.
