Event Five.





So here I’ve stood for forty years
In dark and dust and creaky sounds,
Waiting for her to say, “Turn around.”
This might not be just what she meant,
But me – I’m so obedient.





t first, it seems a little too simple for a true test of morals. Don't eat, don't take, don't look? The most basic of requirements. And with guides, it isn't too difficult at all to avoid those obvious pitfalls.

At least, until the Town's suddenly far, far too empty, almost eerily so -- until there's nobody there but your fellow reds, or blues or yellows, in a town that is far too big for just a portion of the people there.

And that's when the true test starts. Good luck.

the prompt for dave, with his name on it,

[ yeah. yeah, that one is a low blow. it's the shit that means other people that dave has the hardest time with - things that john or rose or jade would want, things he should pick up for them but can't. things they loved and that he loves because of them.

photographs of them.

it's not fair. it's a cheat. but dave comes up next to her and knocks his arm into hers, gently. ]


Parents?

[The nudge jerks Ochako right out of her reverie, and she looks his way with a start. Ah—it's just Dave. There's something slightly embarrassing about being caught staring at a family photo, but she still offers her friend a small smile.]

Mmm. [A quiet noise of agreement, nothing more, before she shifts her attention back to the picture.] I had this with me when I came here, but—

[But a decision was made—by her—and it's silly to be mad about it. Alas.]

D-Do you think it's the same one?

[There's definitely a trace of hope in her voice, because gee, wouldn't that be nice...]

...I don't think so. I think...right now, I think whatever the hell is doin' this is throwing out whatever to make us fail. Things that we don't wanna say no to.

[ don't give into temptation.

but god, if all of them don't want to. ]


What happened to the picture you had?

[That is less of a logic bomb and more of a logic nuke, so nice one, Dave. She only spends a few more seconds gazing down at her parents, making sure she still remembers the smallest details, before she slowly, reluctantly, forces herself to turn away. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. Hello, unpleasant topic.]

I... traded it for something. [A beat, and then, because she knows how stupidly vague she's being:] For a poem. Someone told me they'd never read a happy poem before, so I tried to find as many of them as I could! One of them was just really, really expensive.

[Kyrie. But seriously, even though she looks a bit embarrassed by this whole thing, the trade did allow her to give something cheerful to Dextera. Her poor, sad friend...]

...Someone actually accepted that trade? [ look...

dave is ??? that someone would actually deprive ochako of her family picture? ]

[They didn't just accept it, Dave.]

That's the only thing that they wanted. And it's just a picture, so...

[A picture of the two most important people in the entire world? It's cool, though. It's cool. She will definitely see her parents again, which is why her awkward expression morphs into a determined one. When the going gets rough, you have to get tough.]

A-Anyway, I'm sure that I'll get it back! I have to be patient.
parodeity: starrypier @ tumblr (ASIDE 🎧 don't sweat it)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-30 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, you will. And hey. Maybe you can trade it back, or maybe you'll get it whenever we get out of here. But you will get it back?

[ his hands are in his pockets. it's easier to not grab stuff like that. ]

Anyway. If we grab anything we disappear, I'm pretty sure.

[Ochako is fairly certain that she's going to have to find a crafty way to reclaim her picture, but she still gives him a decisive nod. It's her problem; she doesn't want to make him think about it. Plus the rest of what he said is so—]

You haven't seen it happen, have you? [Being "pretty sure" implies a no, but she finds herself asking, anyway.] People "disappearing" sounds like the shadows all over again...

[Her expression tightens, because ah, she's not thought about that in... a while.]
parodeity: (WELSH 🎧 this sword isn't yet)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-06-02 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I saw it.

[ he just kind of speaks noncommittally sometimes. ]

Guren.
thriftea: (☆ 82)

[personal profile] thriftea 2018-06-04 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Ouch. Guren is a comforting presence to have around, but for Dave to have actually seen him disappear... damn, that's just unfortunate.]

I stopped him from grabbing something earlier, but... [Hmm, yes, he's definitely getting a mildly concerned look.] Are you okay?

[Don't act Cool and brush it off!! That was a weird thing to witness!]
parodeity: dzueni @ tumblr (LISTEN 🎧 here's how this will go)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-06-07 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm...

[ he sighs. ]

It felt a little like being abandoned, but I'm okay?
