[KRAKEN]

[once you pass through the clocktower door, you find yourself in a closed room complete with a central table, notebooks and pens, and a white board for strategizing]

[a digital clock on the wall counts down to the end of the game. time to get to work, right?]

I feel that's quite a compelling argument. If you think enough of them would follow your line of thought, it seems the safest option.
fanstheflames: (Cool like fire)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-04-30 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to believe they will. Or we accidentally kill them and I'll apologize for days.

[ understatement. ]

Darling, once we're done here I'm going to have a word with you about your coping mechanisms.
fanstheflames: (Little mama's game is about to change)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-04-30 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with apologizing??
vexnotvax: (52)

[personal profile] vexnotvax 2022-05-01 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Apologies tend to imply guilt, dear. And I doubt that any of them would think that your choice was made with the intent to harm them.
fanstheflames: (But we tried to fight it)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but...

Honestly, Vex, if I didn't feel bad at all for my choice potentially killing them, I'd think something was wrong with me.

[Vex pauses, her expression somewhat strained for a moment before she lets out a breath]

That's not what I meant. There's a world of difference between feeling poorly about it and thinking that it's your fault.
fanstheflames: (I need I need your love)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
... Logically, I know it isn't. It's this task making us choose someone and not giving us a choice.

I'm just used to taking responsibility.

[Vex puts her hands to Tsuruno's shoulder, squeezing softly]

You don't need to, dear.
fanstheflames: (But we tried to fight it)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ A deep breath. ]

I'll try to keep telling myself that.
vexnotvax: (61)

[personal profile] vexnotvax 2022-05-01 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'll gladly remind you of it.

[a pause]

Would you like to hug Trinket for a moment?
fanstheflames: (And as it fell)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ IMMEDIATELY-- ]

This room could be on fire and I would still choose to hug Trinket first.
vexnotvax: (45)

[personal profile] vexnotvax 2022-05-01 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[a smile]

I'll remember that.

[she pulls out her necklace with a gem on it, she concentrates on the gem for a moment and in a burst of dark purple energy, Trinket emerges]
fanstheflames: (Watched it pour as I touched your face)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Trinkeeeet!

[ HUG FOR THE BEAR. ]
vexnotvax: (23)

[personal profile] vexnotvax 2022-05-01 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Trinket gives a happy whuff, nuzzling into her]
fanstheflames: (So them boys want more)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
What a good boy you are!

-- Oh right, Vex. What's your favorite cake flavor?
vexnotvax: (61)

[personal profile] vexnotvax 2022-05-02 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Why do you ask?
fanstheflames: (Just like moon heats up the night)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Rupert and I were arguing cake flavors. I like chocolate and he said coffee was a more mature taste.

... Actually, though, having you weigh in might not even be a tie-breaker...
vexnotvax: (64)

[personal profile] vexnotvax 2022-05-02 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Unless I agree with you, dear. Which I do.
fanstheflames: (That body is a masterpiece)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-02 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Really??

[ SHE LIGHTS UP. ]

Good taste, Vex!!
