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.

[ RUDE. He doesn't shove it back at her, though. Instead, he just holds onto it. ]

Thank you for telling me. I hope my own feelings are clear too.

[attritional]

With that cheek kiss? Yes, they were absolutely clear.

[ She knows Yuki wouldn't do that just because, so she knows that had to mean something. ]

[unprincelike]

I'm glad. I know I'm not always good at making my feelings clear, so...

[ Verbalizing them can be hard. At least he's gotten a lot better at it lately. ]

[attritional]

You did well that time, and I know that you're doing all you can.

[ She leans her head on Yuki's shoulder. ]

... I didn't think you would like me in return.

[unprincelike]

[ He adjusts himself a little so that she can more comfortably rest on him. ]

Why's that?

[ Iria is really likable, so he's surprised to hear that coming from her. ]

[attritional]

Liking someone as a friend, reliable person, and as someone you like more than that... are different. I can understand the first two, but not really the last one.

I just... don't feel like I would be likeable regarding that in particular.

[unprincelike]

[ Yuki struggles with the last one too. After all, he had no idea if he liked Tohru as a friend or more. ]

Is there a reason why?

[attritional]

... I nag a lot. I get on people's cases. Meddlesome. Nosy. Too into justice while being a hypocrite.

[ She sighs and closes her eyes. ]

It's a lot.

[unprincelike]

And I'm arrogant, insecure, and self-conscious. Isn't that a lot too?

[ They all have bad things about them, is what he thinks. ]

Nagging isn't a bad thing, and being nosy can be good sometimes.

[attritional]

... I think you're supposed to be self-conscious to a degree.

[ If not, she'd be worried. ]

It's just... in a relationship, it can get really tiring. If I have to be honest, I don't have time to think about that sort of thing while I'm here, so maybe that's why I'm more tolerable...

[unprincelike]

But aren't we also at our worst in this situation?

[ Sure, they have fun times but there's still a lot of horrible things happening... ]

[attritional]

I suppose... that's true.

[ Tolerable... when the situation is so bad... Iria sighs again. ]

... But you? Arrogant?

[unprincelike]

Yes.

[ As much as he hates to admit it... ]

I know I'm good-looking, I'm good at sports, I do well in school, and I was elected the student council president. I also know I can use those things to my advantage, so it's easy to get what I want. I also know I'm better than some people... like Kyo.

[attritional]

[ Iria picks up her head and looks over at Yuki.

... ... ... ]

... That's it? No more?

[ ???? ]

[unprincelike]

[ He blinks. ]

Should there be more?

[attritional]

... I was thinking that those... are pretty normal.

[ gestures to her brother being all of it and being around him for so much of her life ]

[unprincelike]

[ Well. She does have a point. ]

Then isn't nagging pretty normal too?

[attritional]

... Is it? Everyone kinda hates it, from what I've seen and heard.

[ ...

Hm. ]

"Don't forget to wash your face and brush your teeth before you sleep, Yuki. You have to keep your back straight or you'll get aches when you wake up, so don't forget. Hurry up and get out of bed. You're running behind. You have crumbs on your face."

[unprincelike]

[ He thinks about it for a long moment, spacing out a little. ]

That doesn't seem so bad.

[attritional]

You're so tolerant.

[ Iria laughs a little. ]

You really had to think about it.

[unprincelike]

I was imagining it. It didn't take me long to decide I don't mind.

[ And honestly? He needs to be nagged. ]

[attritional]

Are you saying you wouldn't mind if I nagged at you??

[ Color her surprised. ]

[unprincelike]

Yes. I could use some nagging anyway.

[ He can be a disaster a lot of the time. ]

[attritional]

[ Iria stays quiet for a moment, staring at Yuki. But then she laughs. ]

I've never really had a person genuinely say that they need someone to nag at them. I thought you mostly had things under control.

[ Yuki looks like he had enough discipline for self control... ]

[unprincelike]

Just mostly…

[ He can barely function for an hour or two when he gets up and he’s generally lazy. He needs this. ]

I only have things under control here.
