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. |
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week nine of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

[Considering how haughty she was when she first arrived.]
Why is that so unusual?
no subject
no subject
[...she smirks a bit.]
Really, it's odd to see you so startled over it.
no subject
[ Oh no, is she called out?!
Noooo. ]
no subject
[is it time
is it finally time to dox elda on her feelings
oh boy]
no subject
[ HUFF ]
I only have one child and three gandchildren, I'm not some universal mother!
[ . . . . But she does like Silver a lot and- ]
no subject
[this is amusing as fuck, let's poke the beedrill nest]
1/2
no subject
... Hardly! I've said nothing of the sort! What proof could you possibly have for such a bold claim?!
no subject
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..?
no subject
Ah, but I was dared to praise the boy during that situation, the same as you were!
no subject
[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.
no subject
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?!
no subject
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.]
no subject
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?
no subject
[...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.
no subject
... 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?
no subject
[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.
1/3
Struck in the sewing room, Elda's eyes are a little bit wide for a long moment. ]
no subject
She smiles. ]
3/3
... Very well, Lusamine. You earned it. ]
... I do. You are mine, and I love you.
[ She laughs, a little, at the absurdity of it all. Only today, Wordsmith announced this was the end, and perhaps that even now affects her. ]
Hanyuu's obvious. You're my best friend. I owe Jasper and Kimbley and Chiyuki so much more than I've given. Estellise, too, I've gone out of my way to try and help. I want to see Kimihiro and Orihime and Gold again. I want to talk more with Gangrel and Varric, and maybe even get to know Alani and Kyrie Ushiromiya. I think even now Guzma and Sportacus are some of the finest men I've ever known.
... And you're right, I am a hypocrite. Because Silver, I've decided, I will see as family.
1/2
It actually gets Lusamine to smile. She's realized her bonds with people, hasn't she? Finally realized that they may not be one in the same, but they are family. They do matter, in the same way. And...she's opened her heart up so much more. It's invigorating, really, to see her admit it at last.
And hell, she doesn't feel so bad about claiming the kids as hers for the time. ...And maybe a little bit more in the future, too. Elda's free, in some capacity, and it's wonderful.]
...I'm proud of you, you know.
2/2
But oh, no.
You know this icon?
If Elda doesn't know what's coming or move, Lusamine will pull Elda in close and start poking at her cheek with the most unwomanly, cheeky grin on the planet.]
You like us. You like us, and you can no longer escape that! Because I will no longer let you~ ♥
[It's stated so affectionately, though--teasing, but utterly proud like a parent would be of their daughter. Lusamine's even laughing merrily, no matter how this turns out!]
1/2
Actually laughing a little all the same, even if her cheeks are colored.
She...! ]
H-hey! You can't mother me like this, Lusamine! I am still your senior!
2/2
Elda will respond in turn, also unwomanly. She leaps up to drag down Lusamine's upper body so that she can rub their cheeks together, as in this icon. You want to go all cute and childish? She will show you childish. ]
If you're confident in saying that, I've trapped you too, you know! ♥
