Trustfell 4: Trust Fall or Die Hard ([personal profile] trustwellness) wrote in [community profile] trusthell2017-01-27 12:00 pm

First.

The past five days have come and gone, though exactly how easily they've done so is debatable; some have been trying to press onward in their optimism and faith that things will get better, while some seem convinced that things will only go downhill from here. However people have chosen to see it, though, clearly this week hasn't been all bad – after all, attempts at encouraging unity among the group seem to have been at least reasonably successful.

...Seem to have been.

Friday dawns like the rest of the week before it – the clock chimes the hour at seven, the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock, and the building is quiet. It would seem that maybe the night passed reasonably quietly – were it not for the large red smears on the walls and floor of the southeastern side of the dormitory.

It looks like somebody decided to be a damn overachiever and took some initiative of their own.

No, please is Adelina okay! Tell me, Angela! It's not real, right?!
modernmedicine: (worried)

[personal profile] modernmedicine 2017-01-27 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so, so sorry. I'll do what I can for her, but she's gone.
firstaid: (oh no; beware; please stop; princess)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[A hand covers her mouth and tears well up in her eyes.]

She's... d-dead? B-but... No... I...

[She wants to run to her, but fear causes her knees to buckle as she leans against her doorframe.]
oyashiromama: as the fire spread (said goodbye to you my friend)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Estellise. [Very softly, Hanyuu approaches from behind, a gentle hand on her arm. She looks sad, but resigned...and far more serious than she's seemed thus far. Her voice, however, is gentle.]

I have you. Come, let the doctor be.
firstaid: (please don't go!)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
But... She... It's not real... It can't be.

[She shakes her head while in near hysterics. Murder is not new to her, but the murder of someone who did not deserve it or had no reason to die, that's what gets her...

It's surreal.]


Why?
oyashiromama: (∞ i fear you won't; i fear you don't ∞)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Because the world is cruel is the answer to the question, but how can you say that to someone so innocent? How do you answer the cries of why, why, why, with nothing more than--]

I'm sorry. [Her voice breaks.] Sh- she... This place is a cursed one. Pl-please, come with me, away from here.
firstaid: (More concern)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Estelle nods and decides it would be best to follow. Some reason mixing into the intense emotion she's feeling.]

Yes, I will come with you. It's... best to let others investigate.
oyashiromama: (all that's left is a ghost of you)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[An arm around Estelle, she leads her out of the room and down the hall, so she can get her sitting someplace away from all this. The foyer. That sounds particularly nice, she thinks.]
firstaid: (Sad)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a bit of reluctance at first to follow, but she knows it's for the best to get out of everyone's way to investigate this. She needs to calm down... and accept that no matter how awful this is, that this happened.]
oyashiromama: walking barefoot in the snow (we set fire to our homes)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Then they'll do just that, then. Through the hallway full of blood (or maybe not?) and past everyone investigating. They're to be thrown into some kind of mockery of justice, so what matters... What matters is finding who did this, but also keeping the living from falling to pieces.

So, she'll be away from Estelle's side just long enough to heat her some mint tea from the kitchen (where people are also investigating, awesome) and bring it back.]
firstaid: (worried some more)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[When she gets the mint tea, she gives Hanyuu a forced smile and just wraps her hand around the cup, but not drinking it quite yet. She grasps it, taking a deep breath, trying to get reason to at least be there instead of pure emotion.]

Someone did this to get out of here... didn't they?

[Estelle is not stupid, naive, but not stupid. She understands... what's going on.]
oyashiromama: in this concrete jungle (the cat's silhouette as big as a monster)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hanyuu remains standing by the chair's side. She's a little slow in answering, as she's recalling Adelina's bow, when the two had first met. Formal, proper girl, who did nothing to deserve...]

Yes. So many of us have important things we were pulled away from, and...someone decided theirs was more important than her life.
firstaid: (guilt)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I was afraid of this. Why would someone feel the need to make such a choice? Why are we in a situation where such a choice must be made?

[She grips her cup a bit harder as she mulls over this. Choices are something that she struggles with. Making them is harder and wondering if she made the correct choice is even more difficult.]
oyashiromama: but sharks are swimming in the sea (water up to my knees)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I...cannot find an answer to the second. Our host doesn't deem it necessary that we know. [Her eyes narrow.]

But...for the first... It's hard to find justification for acts like these. There is no justification. In their mind...maybe they had no other. No choice to make, but this one. We won't know for sure, until we find them, and get them to confess their sins.

[And when they do, Hanyuu will listen. No matter how much she liked Adelina, it's what she does. It's only...fair.]
firstaid: (more concern)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
We will find them. We have to, for Adelina.

[While she's still emotional, there's definitely determination within her as she takes a deep breath and begins to sip her tea.]

Thank you for taking me here and bringing this to me.
oyashiromama: now they're swimming in the sea (baby lion lost his teeth)

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-01-27 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's my duty. I couldn't leave someone in distress, especially not someone so young.

[She couldn't do anything for Adelina, so at the very least.]

...But you are very welcome, Estellise.
modernmedicine: (worried)

[personal profile] modernmedicine 2017-01-27 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I know.

[She gets up and heads over to Estelle, offering a hug.]
firstaid: (please don't go!)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Estelle leans into the hug, embracing the other tightly.]

Sh-she didn't deserve to die. She was so kind and caring...! This...

[She doesn't know what to say, except she cries more. Why... why this?]
modernmedicine: (worried)

[personal profile] modernmedicine 2017-01-27 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No, she didn't deserve to die, and especially not like this.

[She'll rub Estelle's back gently.]
firstaid: (Worried)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes a little, breaths still uneven as she tries to calm her crying.]

No, she didn't. [She knows Angela is working on investigating so she lets go.]

You're going to find out what happened, right? If so, I'll... leave you alone. I think... I think Hanyuu is going to take me somewhere else.
modernmedicine: (Default)

[personal profile] modernmedicine 2017-01-27 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, drawing back.]

I'm going to find out what happened, yes. I think it's best that you go with Hanyuu. Please be careful, both of you.
firstaid: (More concern)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-01-27 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
We will. Thank you, Angela. I pray you will find answers.
