Week 7 - Trial(?)

[petoskeymods]

TRIAL(?)

On Saturday, everyone gathers around the campfire as usual. However, there are a few more people missing this time, as only seven of you appear for the trial.

Red and Archer are there, though, and after giving each other a look Red is the one who steps forward to speak.

"Some things happened last night, and as a result Cielo and Richie have died. Given the timing of their deaths, they satisfy the death requirement for the trial, and as such we will have no trial today.

Go back to your cabins and rest up. We will have a lot to do next week."

Red and Archer will be around to answer questions, but the remaining campers are otherwise free to go about their business and spend this weekend resting.

[A pity, because much like a cat, Mitsuru's in the mind to hide away, defensive of those invisible wounds that seem to have torn away at everything he thought he was. As such, Lenka's gaze is met with a glower, head tipped down petulantly.]

...You can have those, then.

[He'll just fetch something for himself, by himself.]

[He knows Mitsuru's patterns by now -- he was probably either in a tree or on a roof or otherwise hiding out before this, and he has a tendency to extract himself from those scenarios as soon as he can or to be hissy if he can't. All the same, they just keep meeting like this: it's not like Lenka will leave someone to their own devices at a time like this, after a week like this, and after they've lost the people they have.

Cabin 2 is getting real lean in terms of the living, between last week and this week. It might be a bit selfish of him, but he wants to make sure what's left of them comes out of this in one piece, first of all.]

... There's more than I need. This is for the whole camp, I think.

[And he's going to extract a giant tub of soup, because all of them have been resorting to a liquid diet this week. The fridge is probably just shy of literally flooded.

He's not going to wait for a reply before just... dumping the entire thing in a pot on the stove and starting to reheat it. He'll let the scent of chicken noodle or whatever speak for itself.]

[Lenka is wise to Mitsuru's bullshit these days. It's a smart idea, putting the soup on, because the smell only makes him hungrier, much to his annoyance. With a disgruntled look (but when isn't he, these days), he settles himself down to wait, arms crossed.

They can have a nice moment of silence as it heats, unless Lenka has something to bring up.]
