WEEK TWO: SUNDAY AFTERNOON, ROOM 106

[parodeity]

[ so after the execution they'll meet up in clementine and emily's room again. dave once again takes a seat by violet on the couch, although this week he is more. neutral? than last week. quieter. whatever.

still, once everyone is settled, he does speak. ]

Last week I ended up goin' into the Library. Pried some of the boards back from the unmarked buildin' and saw inside. Got some books, also saw a huge monster inside. [ he will at least toss out the books they got: mostly science and math shit, but also other things. yay. ] Also went into the buildin' next door to this one. It was a pet shop, there were monsters, I don't recommend it.

[ in the same monotone, as he glances around: ] Not sure what I'm doin' this week. What'd everyone else learn?

Comments

[splinten]

I've stayed out since I was told to. [LIKE HE PROMISED]

[parodeity]

It'd be a dumb way to die.

[ not like there are. smart ways.

well, maybe there are a few? ]

[splinten]

You told me not to so I won't.

[He's firm here, a little annoyed in the subtle lines of his non-expressiveness but trying not to let it get the better of him.]

If I can't even keep that promise, what's the point of me?

[parodeity]

Your promises to me ain't really the point of you as a person.

[splinten]

[They need to stop arguing in front of the girls.]

They're a hell of a lot of it.

[parodeity]

Well, you've got other promises to keep, so move mine to the bargain bin or whatever.

[ but okay yeah the girls sure are Here. ]

Anyway...the GPA thing this week, with Akane's bein' lowered. The Teacher may not be a very nice person. If you can protect or lower someone's whatever the fuck, you'd think you'd protect it if you weren't. Ridiculous.

[splinten]

No. Deservin' your trust matters, and I'm not givin' it up.

[Whether or not Dave gives him that trust, and Dirk is sure he won't, Dirk cares about deserving it. He knows he isn't worthy. So he has to continue to act worthy to live with that fact.

...Anyway! The topic at hand.]

We'll see if they do it again next week. It's an odd role; you suggested they might've been tryin' to figure it out.

[parodeity]

[ right the topic at hand: ]

Yeah. If they lower someone else's GPA again, they're shady as fuck. Since...harmin' people when you have the alternate option to not pretty much means you're scum.

[ said with perfectly deadly calm even as he slouches back against the back of the couch. ]

[splinten]

[nods]

It implies someone who isn't interested in helpin'.

It'd be really twisted if the Teacher was whoever told Akane they were the Bomber.

[He has nothing for that, it's just a horrible thought about a horrible betrayal]

[parodeity]

No way to tell without talkin' to her about it, and like I said: I don't think I have enough leverage there to try.

[ so. ]

Anyway, she was sorted into my "nice but not alliance material" list so I admittedly didn't, like, try to get any.
