[WEEK 3: Thursday morning, room 112; Jay, Yukina]

[NEEDLESS TO SAY, Kaito still looks like crap come Thurday morning. at least he's not longer covered in monster goo? but his right arm is wrapped in a sling and bandages, and he looks pretty pale. he's just exhausted, really]

[it's what happens when you get impaled in the shoulder by a giant monster and don't have any painkillers]

[either way, he flags Jay and Yukina down as soon as he can Thursday morning, asking them to meet him in his (now empty) room]


Well. . . first things are first, I think.

How're you guys feeling?
ninjay: (and practically fade away.)

[ he glances at yukina, raising an eyebrow. ]

I've heard him been called a sociopath more than once by people here. I've spoken to him a few times and... I would just feel better if we checked them at some point.
thawedheart: (big sigh)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-09 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Every time I speak to him, I try to find something to like about him. Every time, I fail.

[And Yukina is usually pretty good at finding things she likes about people.]

...maybe it's just the way he is, but his attitude is a little... concerning.
ninjay: (i am fertilized.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-09 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
No, you're right. Although even though Light wasn't a Prophet, I don't think we wasted checking him at least. Finding out he's the Teacher is very helpful.

[ they at least now know who to judge whenever someone ends up in a pool. ]

We might have to check Tsurugi eventually too, depending on how this weekend goes. A lot of people thought he may have been the second killer.
thawedheart: (why can't i be blissfully oblivious)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-09 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm not convinced of that, actually.

[because that private convo kept going even after we had our meeting I'M SORRY. let's just say the paranoia made her unsure if she should share or not]

He hasn't told me what his role is yet, but he did say it's an item that allows him to... communicate with someone important to him. So I think it's either the phone, or he's the Bootlegger, because communicating with someone from the outside seems... illegal.
ninjay: (what's what beneath the floorboards.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-09 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea. As far as I know, he's one of the people who arrived here without knowing anyone else.

[ jay hasn't really spoken to him though, so he can't say for sure. ]

I don't think we've been here long enough for most people to consider someone else "important" to them though.
thawedheart: (contemplates jumping out a window)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's a possibility. He said he was going to ask this... person, if it was okay to tell me.

[So, you know, that person could say "No, kill her." But only time will tell.]

He seems willing to cooperate if he's paid for it. Assuming we escape from here and get our powers back, I'll be able to pay him, so that shouldn't be a problem. But we might want to check him just in case this important person turns out to be...

["Mother," maybe. She's not sure if they should say that title here.]
ninjay: (i was at home.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-09 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he looks at yukina because he was going to ask more or less the same question. ]
thawedheart: (did no one tell her curiosity's a killer)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-09 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods - the schedule for checking sounds good.

But since she's being asked a question, she'll answer that, too.]


My people can... make jewels. They're rather rare, so he should be able to sell them for the money he loves so much. Assuming we go back home and everything is as it was before, I shouldn't have any trouble paying him.

[since omega got to arrive with her choker and ribbons i'm assuming yukina also arrived with her tear gem necklace, so she'll reach under her collar to pull it out and hold it out on the string for them to see.]
ninjay: (not prodigal.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-09 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, Kaito, are you suggesting that Yukina just lies to the poor man? How uncivilized.

[ he's joking, obviously, but it's also said very flatly.

he's also peering at the stone, curious. ]
thawedheart: (not quite decapitation)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-09 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[On the one hand, she knows it's going to sound odd. On the other, there's no other way to explain it, so. Here goes.]

My people call them hiruiseki. They're... what our tears become, when we cry.

[Which doesn't happen often.]

...I don't want to lie any more than I already have to. As long as he cooperates, then I won't have any reason to break my promise to him.
ninjay: (i'm i'm staying alive.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
It's up to her. if she doesn't actually mind giving him one, then she might as well.

[ he shrugs. that's not the most interesting part of this conversation. ]

What are you, exactly, if you don't mind me asking?
thawedheart: (i done goofed)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-10 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods slowly.]

...I've already shed enough tears, long before coming here. I don't want... to cry in this place.

[There have been a couple of times when she's come close, but - not over anything that's been done to her. Now, seeing others suffer, on the other hand...

Yukina looks down.]


My people are called the Koorime. We're... ice demons, I suppose is the simplest way to describe it.
ninjay: (until the fabric was torn.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-10 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's an interesting choice of words.. jay's also curious, but kaito beats him to the question before he can ask it himself, so he just stays quiet and waits to see if yukina answers. ]
thawedheart: (a versatile hand shot)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-10 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
...it isn't a pleasant story. Are you sure you want to hear it?

[They have enough unpleasantness in this place, she thinks... but she doesn't mind telling it, if it's them. They're her allies, after all.]
ninjay: (tearing me apart.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-10 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever you're willing to share with us.

[ it's nice to know, where they came from before here. it'll make understanding their actions easier. ]
thawedheart: (contemplates jumping out a window)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-10 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, and falls silent for a moment, gathering her thoughts as she tries to figure out where to start.]

Hiruiseki are... rare. Usually, a Koorime only sheds a single tear once every hundred years, when she has a child... and there aren't very many of us to start with. So to own a jewel like that... even just one or two could make someone very, very rich.

[To put it mildly.]

Especially because... my people tend not to be very warm to outsiders. We are forbidden from interacting with them in any meaningful way, and as a result there are only a small handful of jewels that have ever left our island.

My mother broke that rule. And... everyone knew it, because she gave birth to twins. Me, and my brother. Male Koorime are unheard of... to give birth to a son is proof that you have been with a man.

[Her expression becomes a little harder as she speaks - less fragile, and more quietly furious.]

My mother took her own life, and our elders... they threw him from our island when he was an infant, but... I have no doubt that he survived. And I wanted to meet him, so I... left, on my own, to search for him. And that was when I was captured by someone who knew what I was, and who knew what he had to do to make me produce those gems for him.

[Yukina takes a breath. Her voice is a little shaky, now - it's difficult to talk about, even this long after it's all over.]

He grew rich off my tears at first. But I learned to stop crying... that's why my profile mentioned that I have a high tolerance for pain. And that's why I've been able to bear the sacrifices we've had to make each week.
ninjay: (but i stand here reformed.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-10 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's quiet, mulling over what she told them. the world truly is a horrible place, and he's not surprised that that's a constant no matter where you are. ]

I'm sorry you had to go through that, Yukina.
