Week 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[. . . 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?

[Okay Marco she fuckin sees you. You can just @ her next time.

She presses her lips together, trying to suppress the mingled pride and sadness she feels at hearing Marco say all of this. She's proud, because he's powering through all this bullshit and trying to keep them all together, but she's sad, because a kid his age shouldn't have to try and keep a group of people together.]

I'm not sure what that last bit meant, but I'm inclined to agree with you, Marco. I think the most important thing we can do now is...stick together. Support each other.

[Look. Look.]

It's a saying on Earth. It means "Screw Randy and everything he stands for!"

[close enough to the actual meaning right]

And yeah, I know everybody's really feeling desperate and scared after Kim's execution. I mean, I couldn't stop crying that night and I haven't even cried that hard since I was five years old!

[probably over some terrifying birthday clown or something]

But she told me something before she died, about how heroes are people with good hearts who stand up for their friends. And I might not be a hero, but I want to try and make her proud and help everyone the best that I can.

I just hope everyone else is feeling the same way, y'know?

[hasit]

That's...oddly specific, but sure.

[She nods as Marco goes on, a small glimmer of pride in her expression. These kids are all so good? They're all so good.]

I like to think we can all pull together enough morale to make it work. All it takes to make real change is a spark. And between us all...I think we've got plenty of spark to go around.

[nachosquire]

I totally agree with you there.

[It's honestly kind of amazing everyone's still on their feet, considering how they were all devistated during the trial.]

Speaking of um... how are you holding up, Miss Leia?

[hasit]

Me?

[Why is everyone so worried about her??? She's fine. Everything's fine.]

Just fine, Marco. Don't you worry yourself over me.

[YOU WERE SOBBING LIKE YOUR LITERAL CHILD DIED AT THE TRIAL OF COURSE EVERYONES WORRIED]

...are you sure? I mean, I might be only fifteen but I'm very mature for my age so like if you're having some kind of adult problem you can still talk to me about it if you need to.

[hasit]

[no it's fine, everything's....fine.

Her mouth twists into a wry smile.]

That's very sweet of you, Marco. If I find myself with any, ah...'adult problems,' I know who to go to.
