trusthell | we'll make it happen, we'll turn it around

[ Well, that... certainly was a thing that happened. Viktor wishes he could unsee what he witnessed in the library, but it seems like it has etched into his memory forever. Thinking about it makes him sick to his stomach, and eventually he decides that he needs something to keep his mind off it, at least for a little while.

So around noon, a note goes up on the fridge: ]

If you need a distraction after what happened today, come to the dining room at 6 pm.
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
♥ Viktor Nikiforov ♥

[ There's also a cute doodle of himself underneath his signature. Later in the day, he writes copies of said note and slides them under everyone's doors. ]

[ Those who come to the dining room at will find that Viktor has made plenty of borscht, pancakes and open-faced sandwiches for them. He isn't the best chef ever, but it tastes pretty good and will fill you up! There's also juice, water, and a few bottles of alcohol for those who are old enough to drink; try to be responsible, okay.

And for the truth and dare, he's prepared shots of hot sauce as punishment for those who refuse a dare. ]

She never asks for money. She asks for...stuff, I guess.

Like, I made a wish, and the price is my 'time'. Which is why I'm working for her: eventually I'll work enough to pay for the wish I made, and then I'll get my wish and be free to go about my life.

[oh thank goodness he wouldn't have to actually spend money on silver

but on the other hand.]

You sure she couldn't just accept my cash and that be that? 'Cause she sounds too wily for my liking otherwise.

She's old as dirt and lives in a dimension that both exists and doesn't exist at the same time. What use would she have for money from any world?

...Good food?

Which I provide her with. As my payment for my wish.

Maybe she wants take-out, you never know.

I am pretty sure she wouldn't want take out, unless it was a drive-through booze house or something.

...Maybe she needs it for the booze, then.

Are you guys even old enough to buy booze?

I'm old enough to borrow it.

...you mean steal don't you?

I said what I meant.

[He totally means steal.]

If it helps, I've never stolen booze.

And I've never had a drink in my life.

[There is literally a half-drunk bottle of sake at that party because of him.]

I'm serious. There's only so much borrowing you can do before people take notice. I save it for important things.

[...This sounds more sketch the longer it goes on...]

You know, when we get home, I'm just givin' you a few wads of cash so you ain't doin' shit like that.

[sugar daddy]

I didn't ask for your charity.

[Not his sugar daddy!]

It ain't charity, you asshole, we're friends! I'm just makin' sure you ain't chancing gettin' caught by some actually competent cop and thrown into jail, Pokédex Holder or not!

[he WORRIES, SILVER. WORRIES.]

There isn't a single competent cop in all of Johto and you know it.

People are joinin' them every day, Silver. You're gonna get caught sometime, and then what?

You don't get to talk when you cheat at pool.

[Oh shit he's bringing out the fighting words-]

[It sounds seriously sketch.]

If you're having that much trouble, why not ask your friends for help?

[...His answer is a nice big shrug.]

I can take care of myself.

[Old habits die hard. Getting help with things like the hellhole they're in or important things at home is one thing, but one step at a time.]

[THERE IS SUCH AN UNHAPPY LOOK HERE. SO UNHAPPY. NOTE IT, WATANUKI.]

[HE DEFINITELY NOTES IT.]

...Silver, do you know why my title is 'Independent'?

[...He doesn't say anything to that, but Watanuki does have his attention. Why?]
