WEEK TWO - MINGLE

SURVIVORS: 18

Has it really been only a week since you found yourself in this place? But just like that, the days have come and gone, and five of your number have been lost. The space seems a little larger, less claustrophobic. By mid-afternoon on Sunday, after the execution, guests will also realise that the hotel is once again pristine thanks to the work of the ever-present faceless and nameless staff members, and the elevators are all in working order again.

Something is peculiar about your rooms, though -- something you may notice after you come back from the execution. Your desks now have a different Polaroid camera on them. This time, each resident gets one with a total of 10 film each. Film for these cameras in particular can be refilled in the gift shop. For Kurama in particular, the camera is larger and built so that he's able to (somewhat) see through the lenses and hit a button with his nose to take the photo. What differentiates these cameras from the ones you received last week is for you to find out.

At precisely 8AM on Monday morning, the fog recedes slightly, allowing just the slightest hint of sunlight to peek through. There is a gentle sea breeze, comfortable weather in every feasible way.

Rise and shine, everyone, it's time to make the day yours, just like the rest of the week. Better enjoy it while it lasts.

Do you think you could tell me one now?

What does a skeleton use to cut through things?

[ He tries to ponder the answer for a moment or two. ]

What?

A shoulder blade.

[thanks he'll be here all week hopefully]

[ That successful makes him laugh. ]

That's a pretty good one, Gershom. You should tell jokes more often.

Maybe I will. I've been sitting on so many skeleton puns that I never get a chance to use.

[gershom off the string, what puns will he commit]

I think you could cheer a lot of people up with them. I know most of us could use that.

[ And he thinks cheering people up with cheer up Gershom in turn. ]

Iria said I might be good at phone therapy, when we go home. I'd never considered it before.

[But it made him happy - the idea that he might be able to help people.]

Phone therapy... I've never tried it, but if I did, I would hope someone like you picked up on the other line.

So you think so too? That I could... I could help people?

[ He nods. ]

I do. You've already helped me multiple times, after all. I know you could help plenty of others too.

I-I don't know if I can live up to that. But I'd like to try if - when we get out.

[When. Keep saying when and he might believe it eventually.]

I think you should. I’ll even email you to make sure you try it.

[ Because they will absolutely get out. ]

I-I will, don't worry. But email me anyway. I'd like to hear how making more friends is going for you, too.

Alright, I will. I'll even update you on how the student council is doing.

Oh, you're in the student council? That sounds like a lot of work...

I got elected president. I was just about to start fully taking over.

[ But then. This happened. ]

They must be worried about you.

...Yeah. I'm sure a few people have been looking for me.

[ Which is an upsetting thought. He doesn't want to think about Tohru worrying over him being missing. ]

Even more of a reason you have to get home safely.

[Nothing bad is allowed to happen to Yuki.]

[ Gershom is too kind... ]

Yeah. Thinking about everyone back home has made me more determined to get out of here. I know we'll manage, somehow.

We will. I-if there's ever anything I can do, even if it's just to listen for a while, I promise I'll do everything I can.

I know you will, Gershom. I hope you know that the same goes for you. If you ever need me for anything, I'm here.

My door is always open for you.

[Gershom's gaze goes towards where the deadly nightshade used to be, and then down at the ground guiltily.]

I'm... Not doing very well either, but. I'll think about it.

[ The emptiness of the area that used to have more than enough nightshade and Gershom's glance toward it is telling. ]

...Please do, especially if you consider getting more of the nightshade.

[ There's no accusatory tone in his voice. He understands how hard this motive has been on all of them. ]
