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]

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

[No regrets, honestly.]

[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....]

[tearable]

Oh, Bigby has competition then.

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

[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]

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

[ GOSH!!! ]

[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.

[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 ]

[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. ]

[selfdenying]

[Casually:]

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

[SHUT UP]

But seriously, no, I have nothing.
