CAPTAIN'S LOG:
WEEK (8)

monday - thursday

(23) survivors

Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

(OOC: Please submit your murder proposals by 9 PM EST Tuesday.)

[Generally speaking, Yuno freaks her out, but this is downright odd. A box that says "Yuno's House"? Is this her version of playing with barbies or something? What about Yuno's Happy Ending? This makes no sense]

Er-- Were you trying to make a toy version of your house...?

[Because it kind of just looks like a box to her]

[ well. yes, but also no. it's not a toy, but it's definitely some kind of play version of her house. ]

It's... It's my dream for the future.

[ oh, but she knows how that sounds as soon as she says it. ] Not the box. I don't want to live in a box, but. I want my own house, some day.

[Yuno's barbie dreamhouse adventure... low budget!]

I guess the box is the best you can do with these kind of materials.... but I can see it. A big house?

Well... Any size is okay, as long as the person I live with... is someone who I like.

[ can you hear the blushing, marinette ]

I think, at least. [ honestly though, mari seems like she'd understand. right? she said she would protect adrien, after all. ]

[Yeah, she does understand. That's mostly what has her relaxing a little and starting to engage. She's had pleeeeeenty of daydreams about sharing a house with Adrien, enough that she grins]

That's the best way to live...

[She says, with one of those little teenage girls in love kind of sighs. What a loser]

[Also: her inner shipper is starting to surface. She thought she heard Yuno mention someone she liked, but just to keep the conversation going:]

Someone you like? Is there someone you like a lot?

[ ... a few people come to mind. she supposes there's been a few unexpected developments, in that case. ]

--On the ship?

[ because she has favorites on the ship, yes. she does. ]

There's someone I like who... isn't here. He needs me.

[ here voice is small, soft. there's a moment of silence, and then yuno lifts the top of the box open to stare up at marinette with a thoughtful expression. ] But people here need me, too. Is that weird...?

Well... just in general. I'm sure everyone has people they like back home.

[But does she ~~~like~~ anyone?]

[Marinette doesn't see why that would be odd, even if Yuno is a little... or a lot... off her rocker.]

Why would that be weird? You've made a lot of friends here, haven't you?

[thankfully only one of them is Jack, but that's still a Jack too many]

[ it's weird because yuno isn't used to it. what yuno knows is silences and cages and being deprived, being told she has to be better, that friends are distractions that she can't afford. when she looks at marinette, she briefly sees the image of her mother; a woman with a kind face and lovely dark hair, but marinette possesses a genuineness to her that yuno's mother lacked, she supposes. or perhaps it's true. let them pay. there is no reason to forgive.

and despite the thought, yuno smiles softly. maybe it's the memory, or the understanding that yes, she definitely does have a few people here she likes. that she cares about. she can imagine inviting them over to her house, however big or small it is, and enjoying their company, their friendship. it wouldn't be that bad... are they detriments? she doesn't believe so. ]

Maybe not a lot... It's hard to talk to everyone... [ especially when you don't know who is kicking the bucket next, or who might make you kick the bucket. it's a really messed up game. someone give these kids a soccer ball instead. ] Um, but. I guess so. Elizabeth and Judar. Adrien is nice. You, too. Dave and Roxy. Luke, Adam...

[ when did the list get that long tho ]

[Marinette's not going to lock Yuno up in a cage anytime soon, that's for sure]

[As much as Yuno does unsettle her, it does feel kind of nice that she considers Marinette her friend. Truth be told, outside of Alya, she doesn't really have any friends she can consider close back home. Before she was Ladybug, she had zero confidence. And, hey, Yuno hasn't killed anyone so far? Maybe she's just a really troubled teen.]

[Not that this situation really helps]

That sounds like a lot to me! [and Jack is not on there, thank fuck.]

But I don't think it's weird at all. Friends need each other, don't they? Especially when things are bad. We need to help each other get through this.

[ there's a statement in there that sticks to yuno. it fits her perfectly, as though it were an old sweater. they need her. friends need each other. through each other, they can get through this.

marinette has absolutely no clue what she is doing here oh my god ]

...You think so? [ yuno's box-house opens up further, and she raises a bit more, looking at marinette with a focused gaze. she is listening to everything that's being said, and calculating it, digesting it as only she could. ] We need each other...

[ they need her. yuno is needed. that's enough to get her mind moving. ]

[she really doesn't. Listen, in Marinette's mind, she's giving Yuno something positive to focus on so she doesn't devolve into creepy and bad habits!! Friendship is a good thing! She just wants to encourage Yuno.....]

Exactly. So we have to help each other stay strong, so we can get out of here.... so you can go home and build your house.

[Stop, Marinette, stop]

[ KILL BILL SIRENS

but really, when yuno finally stands up to face marinette entirely, she might get the impression that yuno's actually listening, that she is actually processing everything that she's saying. remarkable. ]

It's okay to rely on you. That's what you're saying, right?

[Marinette?? Stop this??? You are going to die??]

[But she's trying so hard. She wants to believe. Marinette's not an idiot, but for the moment, there's nothing strange enough going on for her to reconsider. She's a little hesitant, or awkward about it, but!! She's a hero]

Of course! I mean... I am a hero. It's my job to get as many people out safely as I can.

[She's not doing too great about it, evidently]
