DAY 6 (POST TRIAL) ALFENDI & SHIJIMA & BIGBY & ELIZABETH & ALICE

[selfdenying]

[Well, what a trial. Back and forth accusations between several people, a search for wounds, inquiries galore, the discovery that Bigby has weird kinks, Adam's sudden confession...it was one giant rollercoaster, but somehow, they've all made it. Somehow, this apartment is still ticking away with its strange inhabitants, now plus one in the form of Elizabeth.]

[Alfendi seems pleased by the whole affair- outwardly, at least. Once they've all gathered, he pulls out Bigby's whiskey bottle from last time, offering it to his fellow roommates (and Liz) with a devilish smile. It looks like his nicer side still isn't ready to come out - and honestly, he still looks sickly, but he's in a good mood.]

[He lets out a laugh.]

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm going to die. I don't suppose anyone is going to help me write my last will and testament?

[Another laugh as he sits on the edge of the couch, smiling wide,]

Anyways, never mind that, we're not out of the woods yet. We may have caught the guilty party, but there are still a few rats running around. What are everyone's thoughts on the matter? [A beat, as he glances to their newest occupant.] Also, before I forget, I just wanted to give a warm welcome to Elizabeth. You definitely came to the right place.

Comments

[puffing]

You are way too armed in comparison to the rest of the apartment.

[ says Bigby, who is currently planking on the couch and speaking with his cheek pressed to the side. he's resisting the urge to sleep, and it's only because Elizabeth was dragged along under his stern demand.

did Alfendi think he was going to be able to sit comfortably right now??? hahahahaha ]

I think the blood stains that can't be cleaned off told the rest of the place not to fuck with us.

[selfsufficiency]

It's my policy to make use of anything I can get my hands on. ♡

[Alice grins.]

You'd think that, but honestly, a lot of the others seem pretty stupid, so I wouldn't put it past them to try again.

[puffing]

I want to say I respect the initiative. But you have a whip of all things and... it's just a scary ass thought, okay.

[ she's smiling too damn much for her own good. ]

They have many better people to pick at after how many of them showed their ass today. You're right, though. They're all pretty stupid.

[selfsufficiency]

Look, I didn't want to leave it lying around for someone else to take.

[Especially since there are so many other weapons floating around apparently... and what happened to Kei's sword, anyway?]

They're stupid and sentimental, which is a dangerous combination.

[puffing]

And you still have the ankle monitor, don't you? Reminds me that we need to check up on Leo and make sure he's alright. How was he during the trial?

[ Bigby was a little... pre-occupied, obviously. ]

[selfsufficiency]

Mmhm, I have that too. I think it'll probably be safe to give it to Angel to look at though, don't you? She doesn't seem too bad.

[Alice thinks back to the trial.]

Lee-Lee was sort of out of it for most of it. Oh, but don't worry! I made sure he had a vote that counted. We can check on him tomorrow morning, though.

[puffing]

I'll take Angel looking at it over Rhys, yeah. But she may or may not be for it depending on how well she handles killing someone.

[ a shrug. everyone takes to it in different ways. Sakyou seemed to be indifferent, Elizabeth was... scarred, to say the least and he hadn't talked to Angel enough to see how she would react to it at all. they'll find out by tomorrow. ]

Surprised Judy let you do that. Better than him getting shocked to death because he couldn't vote, though. Here's to hoping he wasn't partial to Adam or anything...

[ oops ]

[selfsufficiency]

I hope she'll be alright.

[Because it would be boring if having to kill someone broke her, honestly.]

I'm sort of surprised too! But technically, he was the one who voted. I was just the one moving his hand on the screen. ♡

[selfdenying]

[Just elbowing him a little bit and just glowering at him like a grumpy teenager who doesn't want to share his things.]

So the blood stains are like our "Do Not Disturb" sign? How quaint.

[puffing]

[ don't worry. he's going to get fed up with this and move to the bed shortly enough. ]

Considering we don't have a choice but to sleep, it's better than most rooms. I didn't mean to make as much of a mess as I did, though.

[ as if he can control how much he can bleed. ]

[liven]

I never said I wasn't armed.

[puffing]

What the fuck? Am I the only one that isn't?

[ Alfendi, obviously, but he doesn't think of the poor guy as being able to defend himself with anything tbqh. ]

And what do you have, huh?

[liven]

[ without warning, there's a scalpel twirling in her fingers. ]

I've been armed since the first day, of course.

[tearable]

Good taste.

[ They were fucking ready. Liz nudges her waistband again because yup she sure is still concealing. ]

[liven]

It was the nearest thing to a kunai they had.

[ #ninja ]

[tearable]

I'd say it was the easiest thing to slip in your panty-line, but -

[ Look, things were just crazy. ]

That works too.

[puffing]

[ 👀 ]

[liven]

Do you know the best vital points to stab?

[tearable]

...Neck or throat. Get an artery.

[ She missed, she thinks. She went for a different one with Luke. ]

And if you can't? The groin.

[puffing]

[ he just. stares at her scalpel, and then at Elizabeth. at her leg, of course, assuming that's where she kept it even with her nightgown. of course it probably wasn't and Bigby was just being weird instead. ]

Two scalpels, rat poison and now a whip. Anything else we want to mention as a group now and not save as a surprise for later?

[liven]

No. But I do plan to request more dangerous things off of there to see if we can get the quantity down.

[ even if she just wastes it by pouring it out or something. ]

[puffing]

Next time you go, can you order me a pack of cigarettes? I'm kind of running low.

[ he had, like, ten packs by day one thanks to raiding the commissary. after all of the shit that's happened, he is down to one. ]

[liven]

Certainly. Does it not allow you to ask for them any longer?

[selfdenying]

[Casually:]

I have a pen I can jab in someone's eyes.

[SHUT UP]

But seriously, no, I have nothing.

[selfsufficiency]

You should get something. It would be annoying if someone went after you and you died.

[...she cares? Kind of?]
