Week 2, Saturday

[polyglotti]

[Time for them to be SAD IN THE VOID Tuuri is just sitting somewhere looking sad. But when she sees Hunter, she'll pat the spot next to her, indicating he should sit down.

Let's be sad together.]

[greatvalue]

[Quietly, he sits down next to her and stares at his hands for a long moment.

Eventually:]

I'm sorry, Tuuri.

[polyglotti]

[HUNTER...

She sees him staring at his hands, and after a moment she reaches over and takes one in her own.]

Can you promise me something?

[greatvalue]

[He immediately looks up at her in surprise when she takes his hand.]

... What is it?

[polyglotti]

If you ever find yourself waking up on a Thursday night, hide. Don't wait for someone to find you, and don't go looking for anyone. Hide, and just wait until morning.

[greatvalue]

[...]

I'll try. But you gotta promise you'll do the same, too.

[polyglotti]

That's the plan.

[She offers a little smile.]

It seems like anyone involved is forced to wake up, so you'll know if you're involved or not. So hiding is for the best, in that situation.

[greatvalue]

Trying to outlast whatever keeps everyone else asleep at night is the best bet. [...] Well, as long as there aren't any, uh, complications.

[like. memloss. girl help.]

[polyglotti]

[The one thing none of them had planned on: the memloss.]

That's always the hope, yes. And it might not go perfectly, but we should try I think. It's better than just accepting our fates.

[greatvalue]

Mhmm, I think so too. But... if you find yourself cornered and running isn't an option anymore, d'you know how to fight back?

[polyglotti]

[She is not a fighter. She cannot fight at all. If cornered, she has no way of protecting herself.]

...I'll try my best? We've got some pretty strong people here, but we'll see what happens if I end up in that situation.

[greatvalue]

[Tuuri, please. Now he looks straight up concerned.]

... Then, why don't I teach you? I've gone against some pretty tough opponents myself. And even just knowing the basics of self-defense should help.

[polyglotti]

It's not a bad idea in principle, but we're both still injured.

[greatvalue]

[...

He looks down at his own injured ass like he had not even considered this could be a problem.]

Oh. [Hm.] ... Yeah, you're right. Probably shouldn't risk reopening these.

[They should not pull an Itto... After a moment:]

Uh, how's your aim?

[polyglotti]

It's pretty good. I would probably be able to shoot a gun like this. Problem is, I haven't seen a gun around here. Besides Ryo's fish.

[Help her, she's snickering at her own joke.]

[greatvalue]

[He snorts. Sweet machine gun, gone from this world too soon.]

Doesn't have to be a gun. How about something you can throw?
