Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor! 

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

24 guests remain]

[ It's nice to see, honestly. Marco just...keeps doubting his feelings, their legitimacy, what they mean- and it's nice to see him take a moment and accept them.

While she may not have the same exact experience with this, she does know a thing or two about, well- ]

I think...it sounds like you'd regret it, if you didn't. [ So she very gently nods. ]

And- Hiro's not the type of person to think you're weird for it, okay? Maybe things might be awkward...but he's your friend. Friends don't just drop each other, because things get weird.

[ Something she's been reminding herself of, lately. ]

[Honestly, Kim was absolutely the right person to come about this. She's very reliable and her advice has honestly lifted like, a thousand ton weight off of Marco's chest. She can practically see the relief on his face at her answer, and he gives her a small nod in reply.]

Yeah, you're right Kim.

[He looks down at his hand then, a little smile on his face as he looks over the bandages.]

I think I'll give myself a couple of days to, like, mentally prepare myself first but.. yeah. I'll do it.

I mean we only get one life, right?

[better tell him before he fucking dies]

[ Kim reaches up and ruffles his hair. She finds a stray thought wandering through her mind, if her own little brother's having difficulties like this, if he needs advice, if he's grown as tall as Marco has.

Regrets. Yeah, she really knows a lot about that. But helping the people here, her new friends...it kind of lessens the pain of them. It encourages her to fix them.

She gives him a bright smile. ]

Exactly. You go do it. And, if Hiro's any bit a jerk about it, you send him right to me and I'll give him a talking to, okay?

[nachosquire]

[Screw the light hair ruffle, Marco just goes in for a hug at Kim's words, wrapping his arms tightly around her with the happiest looking smile he's had in a while since coming here.]

Thank you so much, Kim. I really, really appreciate all you've done for me here, y'know?

[pinkflip]

[ Oh my gosh, Marco... She laughs a little and hugs him right back. ]

Don't even sweat it. We're friends. Of course I'd help you out. You guys have done a lot for me too, Marco.
