[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?]

It seems better than not thinking things through enough, at least?
fanstheflames: (Ain't no doubt I'm taking it home)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-04-30 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
There's always a happy medium! The last time I thought too hard, I didn't really sleep...

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
When was that?
fanstheflames: (Just like moon heats up the night)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-04-30 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
... Three days ago?

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Did something big happen then?
fanstheflames: (It was always burning)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-04-30 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh.

Vicious said Saturn liked me, and Saturn confessed.

—Oh!

[DISTRACTION IMMEDIATELY ACQUIRED]

What'd you tell him?
fanstheflames: (How could I know)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-04-30 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That I needed to talk to Navi, because I wasn't sure what I felt.

And then after I napped at the sleepover, I sat up and thought about dating or kissing every single person I knew, just to make sure I gave it enough attention.

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... And did that help at all?
fanstheflames: (Just like moon heats up the night)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
It did.

I really don't want to date a lot of people.

[almost glancing towards navi for a second before stopping himself]

I'm curious, but - should we wait to have this conversation...? Although you said you talked about it already.
fanstheflames: (Need to blow that crazy flame away)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no-- like you said, I talked with him the next morning. He said basically he was okay with it as long as I was happy, and after I figured out that Saturn's the only other person besides Navi that I feel that way about because I thought about it all night...

[ she huffs a little. ]

I'm dating him too. It was a weird, long journey in my head.

... Honestly, I still get tired just thinking about it.

—Oh, wow! Congratulations! I guess I'll need to make you another cake when we get out of this mess...
fanstheflames: (It was always burning)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe... like... a good deal later. If I accidentally kill him, it might not be a good cake occasion.

[after a moment:]

You know it wouldn't be you doing it, right?
fanstheflames: (Cool like fire)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, not directly, I know. And even though I brought it up, we'd all have to agree to it.
heartlands: (pic#14961325)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-05-01 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
We'd all have to agree to it, and...

[he frowns, looking a little angry, though not at her]

We're not the ones who decided to do something like this in the first place. She is.
fanstheflames: (I need I need your love)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I still... don't get why. What kind of rehabilitation could this kind of game possibly help with?
heartlands: (pic#14961325)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-05-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
If that's really the reason she brought us here, it's not one that any of us wanted any part of. She shouldn't have to hurt us to accomplish that. There's been plenty of games where nobody needed to be harmed, and the only reason she can't stick to those is because she's cruel and sick.
fanstheflames: (But she's a flame)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
... Wow. [ softly. ]

I think it's been awhile since I saw you upset.
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-05-01 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
—Sorry.

[taking a breath]

It's like I said, I'm only nice to people who are worth it. [...] But I get the feeling I'm kind of preaching to the choir here, too.
fanstheflames: (Need to blow that crazy flame away)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, you are, but sometimes it helps to get it off your chest.

I helped clear a space for Navi to have a tantrum in when we finalize who we're choosing, if you need it.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-05-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[a half amused snort]

A tantrum is a little bit tempting. You going to join him?
fanstheflames: (I am a fire)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2022-05-01 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, I need to save my energy!

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-05-01 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
For helping everyone once this is over, right?
