That's what they said last time, and in the end, we watched helplessly as one of the reapers killed every player left. Forgive me for not believing them.
Eventually, yeah. About two months, roughly? Seems to be the same for everyone, no matter how strange and unusual the circumstances.
[Rosamund nods.]
Yes, it was him. I feel awful, I didn't speak much to the crew while I was there, I was a little distrustful of them, especially when they were wearing their masks. But we're here now? [Time to make up for missed opportunities. Even if in the grimmest circumstances possible.]
You know, we haven't been introduced? My name is Rosamund. Rosamund du Prix.
Do you want your murder and mayhem done in one fell swoop, or in a steady trickle over time? Neither seems very nice, honestly.
There's nothing to forgive, Shen Qingqiu! [She smiles! Then, a bit unsure] Should I say the whole thing every time? Sorry, I want to make sure I'm getting it right.
Less dislike and more something unusual. Sure, we have nicknames as most places do as well, but there's something odd about hearing "Shen" versus "A-Shen"
That's a little nicer than I was expecting? I know the castle at Reverie quite intimately, but I don't think I've ever made it to anyone else's prison. Not in a literal sense.
I don't mind. It was, unfortunately, mostly an attempt to ruin my reputation through falsehoods. Luckily, I managed to escape before it got too out of hand.
[ he looks so tired just thinking about the whole experience. what a clown show ]
[ hey ho. he's wandering after all.... That with a rather absent expression on his face but he still manages to do his little bow when he sees Rosamund. ]
My lady. I hope you are well after witnessing such a scene.
[ well, it sure is a monday! with all the weird shit already happening, have another one lurking at the pond. you'd think he was a morose maiden with the amount of staring he's doing at the water ]
[kate is the only child here and she is more mature than sixty percent of us.]
Oooooooh...I've only had mango in bubble tea, I think? There was a bubble tea shop on the Eudora. I've never had it as an ice cream before. May I try a little?
[ OH BOY, TREES. his favorite spot in the whole world. there aren't clear pictures of it in the show but SQQ lives in a bamboo forest and rosie can have a quick flash of what looks like a mansion in the middle of a forest. home......... :plead: ]
If we believe hard enough, perhaps nothing will find us.
[ he says, like it won't get them when their back is turned ]

W0 FIRST SATURDAY
...You don't suppose we could just break the glass and get out there, do you?
no subject
I'm sure once we're out, it'll just find a way to loop us back in.
no subject
[smashcut to Vi trying to punch her way out anyway]
I don't relish the idea of this competition. Even if they keep saying it'll be something harmless.
no subject
That's what they said last time, and in the end, we watched helplessly as one of the reapers killed every player left. Forgive me for not believing them.
no subject
Ooof. Yeah, I couldn't blame you. Our overseers had their memories wiped, so they weren't...in on it? Kind of victims in their own right actually.
no subject
[ Y'KNOW. it's On Sight if he sees ruby rose ]
Like... ah, Artemy, was it? He mentioned a little of it when we spoke. I can't even imagine how horrifying that would have been.
no subject
[Rosamund nods.]

[ if only he knew ]
Forgive my manners. I am Shen Qingqiu.

no subject
Customarily, yes but feel free to shorten it. Everyone else already has
no subject
Well I won't if it's not something you like. I'd rather stick to what you want than what's easier for me.
no subject

W0 MONDAY
I've slept on more comfortable rocks than these.
no subject
Even prison was more comfortable than this.
no subject
no subject
Just the one, I'm afraid. It even came with a soothing water sounds.
no subject
That's a little nicer than I was expecting? I know the castle at Reverie quite intimately, but I don't think I've ever made it to anyone else's prison. Not in a literal sense.
no subject
Given how the water dissolved anything it touched, I'd like to never visit such a place again.
no subject
no subject
I quite agree. I'll take the uncomfortable floors over worrying about if I move too much the whole thing would just drown me into dust.
no subject
If it's too much to ask, um. Why were you there? Or was that just something from your last...game.
[hate that she's now referring to these as games but also help what are they.]
no subject
[ he looks so tired just thinking about the whole experience. what a clown show ]
w0, sun
My lady. I hope you are well after witnessing such a scene.
no subject
As well as anyone can be. I'm no stranger to blood and violence, but these executions always have a little too much gusto going for them.
no subject
[ mutter mutter ]
I've certainly seen my fair share as well, both before this and at my ... 'game' but... It never does get any easier to witness.
w2, mon
no subject
[Look she's still down in the dumps but there is a sudden intruder here.]
Are you one of the crew members?
no subject
Surely, a haircut and a change of clothes doesn't change me that much, does it?
[ it does, actually. ]
no subject
[IS THIS A MICROAGGRESSION? aSSUMES THIS EAST ASIAN MAN IS THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONE.]
no subject
That took a lot faster than usual. Good job.
no subject
[Still though. Wow. What the fuck. Coming up closer to marvel.]
You look like you came from a completely different story. Time! Sorry.
no subject
You'd be right. Sorta. This one isn't a novel character.
w3, mon
At least there's one good thing that comes out of these new locations.
no subject
No — we have ice cream up here?
[Thank heaven, it's not more shrimp soda! Pitter patters over.]
What flavour do you have?
no subject
And milkshakes. Just what this child area needs.
[ he holds his up, simple and uncomplicated ]
Mango for me.
no subject
[kate is the only child here and she is more mature than sixty percent of us.]
Oooooooh...I've only had mango in bubble tea, I think? There was a bubble tea shop on the Eudora. I've never had it as an ice cream before. May I try a little?
no subject
It reminds me a bit of a desert back home.
no subject
Mmmmm! Mm! [pulling it out, blinking in awe.] That has to be one delicious desert!
W3 THURSDAY

[LOCATES HIM.]
Really? You were just on the brink of death ten minutes ago!
no subject
[ he says, finely, with a big ol' bonk on his head ]
The others needed the space more than I did.
no subject
Let me see your injuries and judge for myself.
W6 MONDAY
Oh...oh this is so nice. This is really nice.
[sinks down with her back to arching roots and sighs dreamily.]
I want to believe there's nothing terribly cursed about this place, but I know it'll show up sooner or later.
no subject
If we believe hard enough, perhaps nothing will find us.
[ he says, like it won't get them when their back is turned ]
no subject
It's so beautiful...that's really your home?
