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

[tearable]

No. I wasn't raised to fight.

[ Though, she went off instinct. ]

I've read books on subjects about self-defense but only had to use it a select few times...

[liven]

I can train you more, should you like. It is a skill that is useful even if one chooses not to kill, I think, because it is easier to choose not to kill if you are not dead.

[ #cat logic ]

[tearable]

[ That's sweet. The cat is being nice. ]

Sounds about right. Sure. I don't mind, miss.

[liven]

[ "nice"...well, she's mostly...decided these people can be kouichi's stand ins...

which more or less means she doesn't give a fuck what they do so long as they continue to keep her company. i guess. ]

We can start in the morning. I learned it all from those in the shadow world, so it should assist you greatly.

[tearable]

Shadow...world. [ Okay, no judgment. ] So long as you can work around the wrist...

[ But, good thing - ]

I'll brush your hair afterwards. Deal?

[liven]

The world beneath the upper world. Where those like ninja work.

[ she's being...poetic...it's literally just MAGIC NINJA ]

And it is a deal. I can easily teach you to work around the wrist. I have had to fight sans an arm before.

[ LIKE LITERALLY MINUS THE LIMB ITSELF, AS IT WAS CUT OFF ]

[tearable]

[ Then she'll be a magic ninja trainee, I guess!!! ]

You mean your arm bound?

[ No. Oh my god why does Shijima have more experience.... ]

[liven]

No. An annoying guy cut off my arm, so I had to do without it for a while.

[ said like "an annoying guy stole my shoes" or something mundane ]

[puffing]

This is the most lethal fucking home I've ever resided in.

[ and this is coming from the man who made a mess of Kei. what the hell. he didn't invite Liz to their apartment so that she would be put through scalpel boot camp. ]

[tearable]

[ DEAL WITH IT. ]

I was lethal far before I stepped foot here, Bigby. You keep interesting company.

[puffing]

Don't get a big d― ehhh, nevermind.

[ grumble, grumble. at least he's trying to mind his mouth around her more. ]

I didn't keep anyone. This all some kind of... natural development.

[tearable]

Still benefitted you. Be thankful you have someone.

[liven]

I like it.

[ SHE WOULD ]

[puffing]

Of course you do.

[liven]

Don't pretend like you don't. At least our room is full of useful people.

[selfdenying]

[YEAH, DEAL WITH IT, BIGBY]

Look at it this way. We're all on the same side, so being lethal is more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

[puffing]

I guess. Wouldn't hurt if at least one of you wasn't so damn confident about it.

[ including him. hypocrite. ]

[selfsufficiency]

It just means we all know how to look out for ourselves! ...and each other, I guess.

[puffing]

Do you even know how to use a whip? Should I be comforted by the fact that you might know how to use a whip of all things?

[ because really. it is a whip. ]

[selfsufficiency]

I had to use something to keep my pets in line when they were too big or too far away for my riding crop, didn't I? ♡

[please stop her

immediately]
