newbie breakfast

Who: 3+1 babies + sensitIVs
Where: @ sensitIV
When: Day 172, morning

[ for those who have lived in sensitIV for a while, they'll wake up (if they slept) to the familiar smell of herb and butter bread: lucifel's probably the only one who uses the tandir oven but he uses it pretty extensively! there's also the smell of toasted cinnamon, which is actually fairly unique to today, but maybe it has to do with how cold it is, and if anyone ventures in the kitchen when lucifel's not there, there's guymag in a large pot available for anyone to have a bowl to warm themselves up with.

of course, for the newbies, those are all probably new to one degree or another. hey, where the fuck are you?

+ there's also a cottage probably somewhere around sensitIV, in some corner. every sensitIV will have gotten a text on the night of 170/morning of 171 to inform them that lavender is spending a few days with them, and that the cottage is hers, so it's not alarming to anyone except those who didn't get the text. which would be like, three of you, so, ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Hmph] would you save)

Doesn't it?!

[No, he actually agrees there.]

How come I couldn't get a cool one, too?

[#Priorities]
pyromaniash: (oh)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-12 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it was some sort of test that you failed before you arrived?
bondsofsuffering: ([Hmph] supposed to make)

Erk--

[OW?? Et tu Agni.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Yell] we remain lost in)

2/2

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-12 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Come on, there's no way I'd have failed that hard!

[He's still got confidence in himself!! Even if it's completely unearned.]
pyromaniash: (eye roll2)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-12 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ it was just an idea! he puts up his hands defensively. ]

We have no way of knowing that, or how the names are chosen. Would you prefer to think you're just unlucky?
bondsofsuffering: ([Sigh] Why does a)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-12 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... In some ways, it's easier if you can just blame something else for your own misfortunes, isn't it?

[Huff.]
pyromaniash: (thinking)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-12 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...I guess so.

But it doesn't seem as if anything here is done by luck alone. It all feels purposeful.
bondsofsuffering: ([Question] to swim in)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-12 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely.

[Instant response, and all the huffiness from before has completely vanished.]

They already have us assigned to play out a role. I don't think anyone would go out of their way to set up a person with a room and all this unless they were sure they could get us to do what they expect, one way or another.
pyromaniash: (serious)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-12 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Holding our memories hostage is one way to accomplish that, though I wonder what keeps people behaving after they remember who they were....
bondsofsuffering: ([Question] So let's disprove the)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-12 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That depends on a lot of factors, doesn't it?

[He'll go ahead and tilt his head thoughtfully however.]

If they know enough about our lives to be sure that we'll cooperate for our memories, then they may know other ways that would be effective for keeping it even after we remember everything. If they're going through this much trouble, it makes sense to make sure to take only people who are well-behaved enough to work.
pyromaniash: (wrong)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-13 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Decent points, but it doesn't seem so far that anyone here is particularly behaved. I guess just keeping us trapped here is probably enough, or they think we'll become complacent after a while....

Who knows. We can probably investigate more later.
bondsofsuffering: ([Heh] misstep to fall)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-13 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Because you're the type to trash your room first thing when you find yourself in a new place?

[He heard all that.]

You're right, though. I don't really have enough information to do much besides make a few guesses.

So what are you planning to do for now?
pyromaniash: (embarrassed)

1/2

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-13 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
...yes, well...
pyromaniash: (tired)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess for now I'll try to salvage the remnants of my room. At least the phone survived.

[ the screen is cracked, but it still works! ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] the theory of surrender)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-13 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Need any help?
pyromaniash: (faced away)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-13 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[ glances at the crooked door to his room, and then back at blade.... ]





...I suppose, if you're offering.
bondsofsuffering: ([Excite] didn't do me any good)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-13 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd be weird to say something like that without offering, wouldn't it?

[He pumps a fist in the air enthusiastically.]

Alright, let's see the state of it!

[HOW BAD DID YOU WRECK YOUR ROOM, AGNI.]
pyromaniash: (blush)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-13 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WELL.

...it isn't that bad. the door was kicked slightly off-kilter and doesn't really shut right, and there's a very large crack in the wall where he must have tossed the phone. his bed is upended and on its side with all the blankets and pillows strewn about, and the dresser looks dented but it's probably fine. ]

Nothing that can't be fixed....

Help me with the bed, first.
bondsofsuffering: ([Surprise] theory of surrender)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-14 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Why the bed...

[It's mainly murmured to himself disbelievingly before he heads over to help right it. Okay, so despite being tiny, Agni packs a punch. This is good to know.]
pyromaniash: (serious)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-14 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It was the first thing I saw.

[ he responds casually anyway as they place the bed back right-side up. he goes to gather some of the blankets and pillows and just deposits them into a heap on top of it. ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Sigh] Losing everything was)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-15 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
What was the second?

[Not that it really matters. Hizumi actually takes the time to neaten the blankets and comforters somewhat - still messy, but less of a pile and more of a wiggly drape over the bed.]
pyromaniash: (faced away)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-15 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ glances at the large crack in the wall, as though trying to figure out how they can repair it. maybe he should get a poster to cover it? ]

...

...the phone.
bondsofsuffering: ([Question] to swim in)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2019-11-15 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Yyyyyeah. Good luck with that one, Agni.]

That... makes sense, actually.

You might need to start performing sooner rather than later to get the stuff to fix any of it, though.
