Week 4

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Two more people died this week. Two children. And they died because of a freak accident. Despite all your protests, Randall refused to let Jane get away despite being innocent.

But there is a tiny ray of hope now, which comes in the form of the mirror. Now that the mirror is public information, you can see people you care about, even if they are dead and trapped in hell. Not only that, but you now now that someone is trying to save you all from the predicament that you're in. And this time there's a good chance that he won't turn out to be a heartless mass murderer!

Still, the ideas for the plan are vague and you have no idea when you will actually get out. It's hard to keep up hope when your only chance of living might still end with you horribly killed, isn't it?

At least you have a new floor and the ability to wash your clothes now.

26 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

[Don't forget to fill in this week's activity check!

...There might also be someone new threadjacking some toplevels this week too. If you want to opt out of this, just let us know!\

[ Jyn's keeping her expression... pretty neutral, at the moment. ]

Can I come in?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Wow! She hates this!]

S-sure, yeah. Come on in. [She opens the door wider, stepping back politely.

Mew Mew probably races out the door. Criminy Tail Lady, go outside once in a while.]

[astronomics]

[ Run, Mew Mew, run! Save yourself from the gay drama! ]

Thank you.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Allene has kind of been decorating cause, well, its been a month now and sometimes she needs something to do with her hands. Its mostly just little nut-shaped paper she's decorated a few spots on the wall with. She has a gimmick.]

Erm. Do you need anything? I could get us tea or something!

[astronomics]

[ what the fuck it's cute... ]

It's... no, right now I should say what I'm here to say. It won't take long.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Oh.

[She starts wringing her hands nervously behind her back.]

O-okay.

[astronomics]

[ A deep breath. ]

I... won't pretend I understand the clone business. And I won't pretend I'm not a little concerned that you tried to take over the world, but I don't think you'd do it again, so it's not a huge dealbreaker at this point.

[ She takes a step forward. It is possible she has spent like an hour preparing this speech. ]

But the woman I... like is the woman I've been talking to. Doreen or Allene, you're the one I have the... big fondness for. So I slept on it, and... I think, given how many aliases I've burned through in my life, I would be a hypocrite if I stayed too mad at you for using one on me.

I forgive you, Allene.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

....Oh.

[And with that a dam fucking breaks down and tears are absolutely going down her face. She has to lean against the wall to support herself because she'd absolutely collapse to the ground if she didn't. She really didn't think it'd go this way. She really didn't think it'd go this way. She tries to brush the tears away and gives Jyn a big, wet, smile.]

Th-thank you. I just- thank you Jyn. I-I won't let you down. I promise!

[astronomics]

[ Annnnd hi Jyn is over here if you need physical support, Allene. ]

I know you won't.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[oh sweet merciful galactus she's right there and she still wants to help and trust her even then she's proven just how stupid and impulsive and worthless she is but she's still there

She grabs her hand.]

I won't. I'll- I'll be- [worth it]

[astronomics]

[ Squeezes her hand! And uses her free hand to wipe away one of Allene's tears. ]

I know.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[oh my god oh my god

She spends at least a minute or two just trying to calm down, quietly enjoying Jyn's semi-embrace.]

...god, how are you this incredible?

[astronomics]

[ And Jyn patiently waits for her while she does.

She smirks a little. ]

I'd say practice, but the last time I did anything like this I was sixteen. Natural talent for inspiring people, I guess.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Ah, sixteen. The age of all sorts of awkward teen dating.

[Her cheeks are still wet but patented confidence is starting to come back.]

[astronomics]

The only kind I've ever done before now. And even then, not for long.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

That sounds familiar. I - well, Doreen- dated this hero named Speedball for a minute. Then he got edgy and angsty and wrote lame poetry in his room. So that ended.

...I guess I've never technically dated anyone?

[astronomics]

Ah... well, I'll do my best to be a good first girlfriend, then.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[bright red oh good lordy she said the thing]

oh my gosh- what do you need to prove, you're already basically perfect?

[astronomics]

[ well kriff now jyn's blushing ]

Well there's something I'm not used to being called... but I'm the only one here who's done the sort of things people do in relationships before.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Its a learning experience...

[She kinda just. Stares at Jyn for a moment with such a lovesick expression.]

[astronomics]

I guess so.

[ Jyn lets that moment happen, then she smiles. ]

And I suppose that means you've never kissed anyone before.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[oh

o h h h h h h h h h]

I. Suppose not.

[astronomics]

Would you like to try?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

I. Erm. Wouldn't say no? Should the opportunity. Come up.

[astronomics]

And if that opportunity was here right now?
