[ He was just on his way in the dorm, having not been home since the game, and almost seems like he's on a silent beeline to his room - but he comes to an abrupt halt when he notices the new decor. ]

You...

[ Are those CUSTOM TEAM PILLOWS? Holy shit. ]

[420blazeit]

[ he gets an extra couple of seconds to notice her, since he looks absolutely out of it, but as soon as he makes eye contact - INCOMING. ]

Come here. [ she offers him a smile. ] Call it team bonding or, IDK, whatever you like, but [ pats the mattresses. ] take a seat.

[ why, yes, THEY ARE. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He definitely had a stormy expression when he walked in, but he comes over when she beckons, taking a seat among the pile of mattresses and pillows (and teammates?).

And picking up one of the stitched pillows. ]

... Did you make these?

[420blazeit]

[ this. is. still. embarrassing!!! ]

I did. [ looks aside, cheeks red. ] But it's nothing. I mean, ok, not it's not. I wanted it to be something nice for you guys, and I thought we could all hang out on your pile, shoot the shit, eat snacks, play games, and just be... close. [ this particular bit is a touch awkward to say to king, specifically, but shhhh. this is fine. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ If it's awkward, he doesn't notice. He's busy running his finger over the stitching quietly.

At length; ]

They're great.

[420blazeit]

[ she's going to suck it up for the sake of this! ]

I'm glad you like them. I'm going to keep practicing because I actually have an idea for something~ else~

[puzzlekeeper]

Is that something a secret?

[420blazeit]

MHM~!

It'll be worth it though. Pr~o~mise~!

Now come and sit. You look like you could use another hug.

[mapsio]

[ ... scoooooting next to King when he gets in the pile. ]

King?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ... Gently bumping shoulders with her. ]

Hey.

[mapsio]

You know, your face gives you away sometimes.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Wincing a little ]

Sorry.

[mapsio]

[ Putting an arm around him, tugging him closer.

Hug the Prim you know you wanna. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He does kinda wanna. Not gonna lie.

So, he does. ]

[mapsio]

[ Good, hug time. ]

What happened?

[foolmetwice]

[hmmmm King beelining to his room and Meka setting up a pillow pile hmmm]

King?

Did something happen?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ hmmmmmm indeed

He- hesitates, but isn't about to lie, so, ]

Yes. At the game.

[foolmetwice]

[well, between that and Meka saying the last game was a "bad game" he sure is making a face]

Who died?

[RIGHT TO THE POINT]

[puzzlekeeper]

Yugi and Maki.

[ ALSO RIGHT TO THE POINT

Also explains his mood quite well, probably. ]

[foolmetwice]

[he looks surprised that the answer is just two individuals and not teams, but then his expression immediately hardens]

Fuck.

[STILL BLUNT]

Who did it?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ His tone goes flat and cold as he explains. ]

One of the newer girls on sensitIV, Sekhmet.

Due to the game, she had some kind of power of compulsion over Maki. So she ordered Maki to kill Yugi, and then herself.

[420blazeit]

[ she is going to do her best not to look as pissed as she is. she might be failing. miserably ]

[foolmetwice]

[that isn't a name he knows, so he has very little issues with puffing up angrily, eyes flashing]

Well, screw her, then! Where the fuck does she get off doing that?

[he hasn't realized that the game sort of messed with Sekhmet's mind, though it's debatable on whether it'd make a difference. murder is one thing, but the power of compulsion, the ability to take away someone's free will, is something else entirely]

Is she too much of a coward to dirty her hands herself?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Welp.]

[He'd heard, but he didn't have the details.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Yeah.

Yeahhhh. ]
