Trustfell 4: Trust Fall or Die Hard ([personal profile] trustwellness) wrote in [community profile] trusthell2017-03-19 11:50 am

WEEK 9.

WEEK 9

The only two deaths this past week were due to rule violations; Bruce Wayne and Kimihiro Watanuki have joined the deceased. The deceased, however, still seem to be among you - that is, if Noir is to be believed.

Either way, one thing is clear: for the first time in two months, a week has passed where no one has murdered.

With no trial, Saturday is relatively quiet. On Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

Once again, there are no new floors available to you; is this a good sign, or just claustrophobic? Either way, the air has been seeming a little heavier nowadays, despite the lack of murder - but who knows, maybe it's all in your head.

APPRENTICES REMAINING: 8


SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

...Both of us...?

[...oh!]

Did Silver make that cloak for you, then? I know he had made something for you back when I made the effigy of Kira. Whether or not...that is quite nice on you.

It is not so bad to rely on others, however. It simply requires balance, so you may rely on yourself as well. [...] Is there an issue, Elda?

[ She nods briefly, to confirm that Silver made the cloak. She shrugs the shoulders of it again. Is it and issue...?

... A good question, really. ]


It's been over a lifetime since I relied on much of anyone other than my husband before I arrived here. But then I was reached out to by those kind enough to go past my own barriers, Sportacus and Hanyuu. And I found myself reaching out to others in turn, yourself and Silver and some more. So you ask if it's an issue, and it is not.

I merely wish I could do more myself for you.
elepe: (ATTENTION ❇ This sounds fun)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[...that makes sense, at least. After everything she's learned from Elda, she likely did not want to have to rely on others after everything had happened. It's good to know that it is not an issue, but...]

...Your continued existence is more than enough, I would say. Of course, if you wish to learn something, no one will stop you. Everyone brings something to the table, and we've...

[...ah.]

Not all the time in the world, but still plenty of it. You've learned to cook well, have you not?

I wouldn't say well, but I've sure tried.

[ . . . ]

Did you know the other day Silver gave me that look, as to a child looking to an adult for insight?
elepe: (COY ❇ Chew you up and spit you out)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh, well that's new. Lusamine snickers a bit, hiding it behind her hand.]

My, is it really so jarring? You're an adult, Elda. Surely that feeling is not too alien to you.
matchbreaker: (LOCK IT)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-24 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
It is from a human child, especially here! To look like that means he respects me.
elepe: (OBSERVE ❇ How interesting)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Really. And here I figured that you would have preferred it like that.

[Considering how haughty she was when she first arrived.]

Why is that so unusual?
matchbreaker: (FROM THE START)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-24 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I do! I simply... did not expect it.
elepe: (SNEER ❇ Keep pressing your luck)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Think of it as being an influence on him. Whether it's good or bad is up to you, but you're clearly doing something right.

[...she smirks a bit.]

Really, it's odd to see you so startled over it.

I--- merely thought he might flock to you in that regard, is all!

Noooo. ]

He has, once or twice. Why, it sounds as though you may be becoming a mother hen in your own right!

is it finally time to dox elda on her feelings

oh boy]

Not hardly!

[ HUFF ]

I only have one child and three gandchildren, I'm not some universal mother!

[ . . . . But she does like Silver a lot and- ]

[well there's a point that we should've stopped

but let's keep going and see what happens.]


My, you're quite adamant on denying such a thing...

[Lusamine smirks a bit, recalling something from a few weeks prior.]

"You are a truly responsible boy, aren't you?. Diligent, and hard-working in all the ways that a father or mother might find admirable. T he sort of well well behaved miscreant which'll grow into a fine man in only five years time. A strong trainer, not to mention with a heart that can endure beyond what many, weaker men might. It is you, before all other humans, whom I first decided I would acknowledge. And it is you, who I wish that all other humans could be more like."

Tell me. Who could have spoken those words..?

[ ... !! Oh no, to hear her words parroted back so perfectly?! Elda takes a step back from Luamine, her eyes shifting hard into a defensive predatory mode. Elda cups her arms around herself a little, but then just as quickly flexes her claws and looks hard at the woman, standing her ground! ]

Ah, but I was dared to praise the boy during that situation, the same as you were!

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I remember that well. However, I do remember one more thing along with that...

[Lusamine stands her ground, her eyes still that weird dead state, but...brighter, somehow. Like there's a fire in there.]

I certainly did not lie to Silver, when I told him of his good points. And you said it yourself...you're so quick to forget, so allow me to remind you.

You said that you meant every word.
matchbreaker: (Mechanics of Gamer)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-24 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Excuse you woman we're best friends, don't you go dead eyes on me.

That said, she... Flinches a bit as if she were hit by a truth bullet, and then shoots back ]


It's possible that I lied, at the time! After all, the whole mood of that party was meant to be positive! Should you present some better evidence than those words?!
elepe: (DEFENSIVE ❇ Hoe don't do it)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[...Elda, friendo, her eyes are always kinda dead...]

Oh please. I know very well you would not say them without significantly good reason. You, Elda Marker, who holds family in such high esteem that you seemed utterly insulted when I implied that I considered Gold and Silver my own...

You're quite the terrible liar, dear.

[Elda is always strong. Even in the midst of terrible situations...and she doesn't falter often. Not even when she stakes are against her.

...not even when her own friend may have done something terrible with her love, even if it was but a suspicion.]

[ Look, a woman can hope, okay...

But okay now, Elda grits her teeth, exhaling hard through them. ]


I've lied for years, you know. I said it the first time we met, I'm over four times your age! During that time, I've always hidden my identity from humans. Doesn't it seem likely that I could keep things in control for just a few weeks here?

[ It's a lame defense and she knows it, and so she almost immediately shifts tracks. ]

And what's more, if I consider family in such high regard, if you remember that conversation, how could I possibly feel the same for Silver?
elepe: (GRIN ❇ I think I'll keep you for myself)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
People--and vampires change, Elda.

[...you know, this might shift to an entirely different accusation entirely at the rate this is going, but...]

You've been losing control for veritable weeks, now. Showing affection toward Gold, before his execution...being so willing to silence Hanyuu, during Gangrel's trial...

You would not have done such things for mere humans, would you? Not after they have done you so wrong over the years. And certainly not without significant feelings involved.

Therefore, I do not believe what you said to Silver was a lie. And that he has perfect reason to look up to you.
matchbreaker: (when will i use this)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-24 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ People change.

... She doesn't want to hear Lusamine throw out her last words to Mikazuki on top of everything else to, but that analysis is sound. She can't deny it. Perhaps she's merely playing her part, however, as she asks, ]


What, precisely, do you accuse me of?
elepe: (PLEASANT ❇ How darling)

[personal profile] elepe 2017-03-24 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I accuse you of feeling such things toward us--these humans who you know so well.

[It's a change in accusation, entirely even.]

Not toward everyone, I imagine. There are plenty here unworthy of such a thing. But you care for us, as only a grandmother might. The Elda Marker I know well would have never said such things--done such things, even, so frivolously.

It is not within your nature...unless you have begun to consider us yours.

[ Well, there it is.

Struck in the sewing room, Elda's eyes are a little bit wide for a long moment. ]
