Week 6

[. . . Well last week sure was a bloodbath. A bloody, accidental bloodbath. Even with two groups trying to save you, it might start to feel doubtful that you'll ever get out of here alive. Not to mention that Randy almost killed you all on an angry whim and you're still stuck in this madhouse with him of all people.

But hey, there's a silver lining to every cloud! You get a new floor that's not a nightmarish deathscape! Aren't you glad?

18 people remain]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

[Don't forget to fill in this week's AC!]

[If by doing so well you mean "masking your depression by forcing yourself to force everyone to get along" then yes, he's doing wonderfully.

That said he definitely does notice a big goat in the doorway, even if he quickly tries to make a run for it. How. How can you not notice him hes so Big.]

Lekmet!

[Marco sets Saba down so he doesn't chase this poor goatman with a sword in his hand and starts to book it after him, and luckily he doesn't have to book it too far.

The moment Lekmet stops to catch breath, Marco jumps up and clings to him like a spider monkey, wrapping his arms around his neck not too tight because he's not going to strangle the poor guy over this.]

What the heck were you thinking, man?!

[if anyone didnt think hed lecture lekmet just cause hes a big scary goat demon then they got another thing comin cause marco diaz is the closest thing they got to a straight-man of the show so it's, like, his job]

[That's valid, and still eons better than this mess of an angeldemonic being. You never know, maybe it's just dark around here- Stealth isn't at all his strong point.]

Huh-- AAHHH!

[Alright, okay, so maybe he should've seen this coming, aand he should probably stop flapping his wings in panic like a maniac.Where to begin? At the question, he simply slumps. It's clear he's still feeling a lot of guilt about the whole near-mass-execution mess.]

Uhhh...

[Oh, damn it. If only he had a kind of translation device to explain himself.]

[FEAR NOT because even in his suit Marco has his handy-dandy notebook ready. Just kinda tucked in an inside pocket along with the pen tucked in there too.

He hops off of Lekmet and pulls them out, flipping to an empty page (it's getting.. kinda full isn't it) and he hands it out to him.]

Write an apology for Negaduck and then tape it on his door. Even though, not gonna lie, he kinda deserved what was coming to him.

[he's still not for witch hunty killing okay also he almost Died]

[Honestly he's burned through his notepad some weeks ago, and is waiting for another to respawn in his room somehow. There's the fake Magic Spell Book, for the time being.

Hold up- 'An apology??!' for that duck? ...Alright, that's fair, but seeing it come from Marco was pretty jarring.

The goat grunts, muttering how he'd rather have been executed instead, but does succumb to writing it.]

Dear Negaduck,

I apologize for leading to your execution. I should have mauled you instead while taking you down with me.

Love, Lekmet.

[After Lekmet writes it down, Marco takes it back and reads it over, his expression unreadable but he gives an approving nod.]

Not at all what I wanted but it's good enough.

[Honestly he expected something like that.]

Look, Lekmet, I just think the killing needs to stop. Even if he was a super jerk and we're totally leaving him in Hell if we can, it still doesn't mean you should have gotten him killed either!

[Well, he's gone through five stages of grief and accepted his role as a murderer, with his lapse of judgement and all.

'I assumed a couple more deaths meant we'd end this game quicker. I made a grave mistake, thinking they were only going to kill Negaduck and I.'

He looks angry and troubled, recalling the duck's insult to Kim's final moments was the last straw before he saw red.

'You heard the things he said. Simply duck-taping his beak wouldn't be enough. I was very much ready to die when I wrote down that vote. I'm only sorry for almost getting everyone killed. I'm sorry, Marco.']

No, I know the guy kinda had it coming after everything he did. And trust me, when he broke the mirror last week I was pretty ready to make some duck à la mode.

[But he's not a murderer.]

And I'm not mad at you for nearly getting us killed, like you said you didn't think it'd happen. I just, again, think maybe we should stop the murdering thing while our numbers are already so low and start the thinking thing. Y'know, think of a plan to get everyone out of here in one piece without anyone else getting brutally killed.

We can't save Star if we're dead.

[He's not entirely convinced most of the Manor doesn't want to shun him. He'll see.]

The guy did say something about Star, and how she'd break out if he's not there.

[There's a small smile; that's definitely Star alright. And back to business, he grimly guesstimates about half their current numbers might survive it in one physical piece.]

I suppose so. Do you have a plan in mind?

Edited 2018-02-12 05:34 (UTC)

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII do not.

[He was really confident with his speech, but it's all smoke and mirrors honestly.]

Well, I mean kind of? I'm gonna continue Kim's new tradition of talking to Randy like he's an actual human being and see where it goes from there.

Hmm. If I could somehow get the scissors and destroy the barrier keeping us here...

[He should post up a flyer somewhere in the foyer, if anyone got his scissors from the slot machine.]

Getting close to Randy might help, yes. Just...be careful. I think I pissed him off on top of everything else.

Yeah. Yeah you.. probably did.

[not even gonna lie]

But he actually likes me like, a little bit at least. So I think he'd be less willing to kill me, especially after Kim dying. I mean... did you see him? He totally was moping about it.

[Marco pls]

I don't understand him- it's clear he hated doing it, but for some reason he's powerless to stop it. This is all so much.

There must be some kind of loophole- something connecting the dead together, but what?

~~[Like how the most of the current survivors are in ships and miraculously, not a single half of a duo are dead.]~~

I.. think I have a theory on that, but I'm gonna stew on it some more before I go around spreading rumors or something.

[~~do you want to jinx us jimley~~]

We need to figure out ways to get to them, though. They're in "boxes" apparently, but where are they kept? Like are they shrunk when they die and put into little shoe boxes are they actually in the Underworld right now and we'll have to preform some kind of satanic ritual to save them-- I have no idea!

That's fair. Mass panic is a motive of it's own.

[HE'S TRYING]

Something about souls? Perhaps their dimension is a box, a- like a jail cell! That's awfully cruel, at least the Crystal Dimension has all the space it needs for prisoners. Even if our prisoners are trapped in crystals indefinitely.

Uhhh. I might know a ritual or two, but I honestly doubt any powerful magic will work correctly or at all.

[Wow his demonic traits sure are coming to light...kind of. He's not fond of necromancy.]

Edited 2018-02-12 07:23 (UTC)

Hades said they had theme parks though? And Star mentioned a hotel... so they're probably not in jail cells, I think.

[Marco doesn't wanna talk about crystal prison. He lived through it and does not wanna live through it again, thanks.]

And yeah, I think you're right. Even if we found Star's wand it probably wouldn't do much-- if anything.

I mean like- it's a finite dimension. Maybe like one gigantic box-shaped room.

[Haha yeah what the fuck- he remembers freaking out about it and it seemed like centuries ago. He kind of misses Rhombulus, but knows for a grim fact he probably wouldn't make it as far as he did.]

What is it with powerful magic working efficiently for our captors yet not ours?

[Everything happens so much and is confusing.]

Mmmmmaybe because they use evil magic?

[He has no idea how the physics of magic works-- he's only used one (1) spell and gone criminally insane because he saw dark spells (which he probably doesnt even remember lbr) so.... sh...rugs...]

Maybe there's one of those magic crystal things like they had at St. Olga's but it doesn't restrict the use of dark magic or something?

That's convenient. Might explain why Mewni was afraid of Eclipsa, or more likely, spooking Rhombulus enough into doing his thing. Never really understood why they trapped her without a fair trial.

There might be- I know for sure they must have one of those Tramorfidian crystals, or a variation of it hidden somewhere.

[A beat.]

How'd you end up in St. Olga's?

Edited 2018-02-12 08:27 (UTC)

Ohh right well I uh...

[That's such a long story, but he'll try to explain it as Concisely as Possible.]

Star's friend got sent there so Star and I went and busted her out. And I might have started a princess rebellion... whiiiich might have cost Heinous her entire livelyhood which is totally fine 'cause that woman be craaaaay.

[ya know what hes sayin]

No kidding, that place is just another jail-like dimension even worse than mines- er, Rhombulus'.

[Casually throws his coworker under the bus despite the fact he's probably watching this mess from somewhere safe.]

Gotta hand it to you, that's impressive! I vaguely recall hearing about it.

[Not his department, but yeah.]

Aw, nah those girls just.. really needed somebody to stand up for them.

[Marco rubs the back of his head a little sheepishly.]

And I'm glad to be that person, even though I still have times where I catch myself with my pinky up when I'm drinking tea.

You'd make for a good leader of Mewni, or something, someday. [Proud goatdad is proud]

Ehhh, I wouldn't worry about that. Drink tea however you want; smash the system, etc.

[HYPE!]

Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa..................

[Goatdad would you please not.]

Welp! It's too bad Star's gonna be the leader and not me!

[....SHOOT DID HE SAY MEWNI. OOPS.]

If not Mewni, then something else for sure! Either or.

[STOP SHIPPING THEM ITS NOT GOOD FOR MARCOS HEALTH]

I'll take graduating to a really cool knight.. maybe an advisor or something.
