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

[selfsufficiency]

Oh, speaking of rats!

[Alice rummages around in her clothing and pulls out... is that rat poison? It's totally rat poison. Alice, why. She plops herself down on the couch next to Alfendi and holds the poison out to the group, looking weary but still smiling anyway.]

I think we all sort of painted a target on our backs today. So, if something does happen to me, I want you guys to take this and use it if you think it'll be useful.

[tearable]

So, you're the one who took that.

[ Okay, she's still making the area of the floor near the couch for a makeshift bed. But, they can see Elizabeth specifically brought her own crossbow and 2 tranq bolts. She definitely is looking at Alice a little more precariously. ]

I don't blame you. A girl needs her secrets.

[selfdenying]

[Just....squints.]

Do you want us to poison your killers?

[selfsufficiency]

Mmhm. I didn't want it used against me, so I took it before someone else could.

[No regrets, honestly.]

[selfsufficiency]

Poison whoever you think you need to poison. Say, for example, if there's someone who's probably a staff member but no one will vote for them for whatever reason...

[She shrugs.]

I plan on holding onto it as long as I'm alive, but if I do die, I want one of you to have it.

[tearable]

Kill or be killed, I suppose.

[ No blame. ]

Do you have any other offensive weapons?

[selfsufficiency]

[Alice taps Franciska's whip, which Christy has confirmed she can take, where it's hanging from her hip.]

It's not ideal but it'll do in a pinch. I can make someone bleed with this, probably.

[tearable]

Just make sure to leave wounds, apparently. [ Look what happened with Adam. ] Give us something to track down. I refuse to be the only one forced to strip.

[selfsufficiency]

[i don't know why my autocorrect thinks Franciska is a name but not Franziska]

I think all of us will leave as much evidence as we possibly can... not that we really use evidence very much in these things. [She flops back and rests her head on the sofa, looking drained.] Honestly...

[selfdenying]

I know I won't go down without a fight. If they come after me, I'll make sure to scratch their eyeballs out.

[alfendi....]

[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.

[tearable]

[ Okay, my own gross top level welcome 2 the crib, Liz.

Anyways, yeah so Elizabeth has some information for you all. But, she needs to fucking drink first because this entire day was draining? ]

Thank you for - [ well, Bigby did force her. Whatever, she's in pajamas already. ] - um... giving me companionship tonight.

[ She didn't seem as stern as she did in public. In fact, with her hair flatter and make-up less applied, she looks younger? More inno, tbh. ]

With the apartment getting cut so drastically, you'd think I'd appreciate the bed but - I was getting worried.

[tearable]

Oh, Bigby has competition then.

[ RIPPED THROATS... EYEBALLS...? WTF ]

[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.

[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.

[selfsufficiency]

Thank you for making sure he - [she glances at Bigby] - got his wounds taken care of. That was you and Shijima who did that, right?

[selfdenying]

Very well. [Just....goes along with this????] I'm no murderer, but I'm not all that averse to making the right people suffer a little bit.

You'll do the same for me if I die, right? Take the people down who deserve it, I mean.

[selfdenying]

Ha, his little throat extravaganza was quite the beautiful and brutal thing, but...well, I don't have the jaw strength he does, sad to say. I'll go with eyes. Or better yet, the tongue. Just snip it right off.

[WHO ALLOWS THIS MAN TO EXIST]

[tearable]

Shijima took lead. I couldn't stitch his wounds with one hand. [ That girl was too damn good for her own good. First Liz's wrist now Bigby? ] Not sure why he came to me, but perhaps he was just too drunk to make good choices.

[selfsufficiency]

Of course I will. We're... [Not friends. Alice doesn't do friends.] We're comrades, aren't we?

[apartment 7 can be her Vanguard]

[selfsufficiency]

There are worse choices he could have made. [So... not that drunk, apparently?]

[selfdenying]

Good.

[apartment 7 rides together, dies together, comrades in arms]

If you die, I'll dedicate their glorious suffering to you.

[selfsufficiency]

[this is why rude alfendi is her favorite]

Aww, how sweet. ♡ My ghost will approve.

[tearable]

You're going to give me nightmares at this rate. Bring it down to a 2, you're at a solid 10, mister.

[ GOSH!!! ]

[tearable]

Guess you're right. [ Luckily, Liz found Bigby useful and he redeemed himself against throwing her against a wall. ] You all stood up to him pretty adamantly - I wonder if the person who armed Kei will try to make lightning strike twice.
