[ Hopefully everyone had fun on the Arco Lunar! The morning after the boat departs from the docks, a letter arrives to your mailbox: ]

Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi


[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]


Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]


( This is the ill-fated mass extinction memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

[ Gaku will find himself on the edge of a campus patio where two people are crouching behind a brick fence. There doesn't seem to be anyone else around. The entire place is silent part from very distant loud noises, but don't worry about those because there will not be heavy CWs in this thread. :)

Both people have short white hair with golden eyes. If anything, from how their faces look, one could assume that they're related. They're also dressed in modern clothing: Ellis, or Fifty as he is now, with his usual college hobo look with a big hoodie over a t-shirt and pants. The other person is a little shorter than Fifty, but from vibes alone, they seem much older too, mature even. They fashion a button-up shirt and black pants.

It looks like, despite their seeming vigilance, neither of them notice Gaku's presence. He's a little hidden away at their blind spot with statues and whatnot right now.

When they fully think no one else is around, they sigh out of relief.

"I'm so glad that we lost them. Hey, are you alright?"

Their voice sounds soothing to the ears, like maybe they should take up on an ASMR session. There would probably be people who like that sort of thing. Meanwhile, Fifty nods and smiles at the other.

"I haven't seen you around. Are you a new number?"

Fifty nods, spreading his palm to hold up five fingers and then clenching it into a fist to show zero. They smile.

"I'm Ten. Let's take a break in case we need to run again."

A hologram-like, rounded corner-style rectangular window pops up in front of Gaku.

What will you do?
> Make yourself known.
> Keep spying on them.
He will get the feeling that he can't do anything else if he doesn't choose.

[ …It’s them, isn’t it? The one who fucked over Ellis. Gaku clenches his fists, breathing out through his nose.

Should he wait…? Hm. He doesn’t want to interrupt, just in case he can find out more about this whole… situation. Reluctantly, Gaku picks an answer.

>Keep spying on them. ]

[ And so, they sit on the ground, leaning against the brick fence.

"The games have been getting harder on us lately, but you're exempt, right? Must be nice. Apart from the one we just ran from, have you seen others?"

Fifty shakes his head no and Ten smiles.

"That's good. The less people who play, the better."

Fifty hesitates at first, but he reaches out to take Ten's hand and writes on their palm gently, like he's always had since Gaku knew him too. The memory interprets all communication that Gaku can't see nor hear as a rounded corner style speech bubble that floats around their heads whenever something is written or signed.
]

Are you good at them?

[ Ten rapidly blinks at this exchange and then they hesitantly sign:

"I'm not good at playing the games, but I make it out somehow."

Fifty's eyes seem to sparkle when Ten signs at him--it's his usual reaction to finding out that someone can use sign language. The two chat some more, seemingly getting along and hitting it off pretty well, like a normal pair of people who are starting to become friends.



The scenery shifts and now Gaku will find himself right outside of the first floor of a dorm room window. It seems some time had passed--perhaps days? Weeks? The two seem to have gotten closer, especially since it seems like the two are lying down on the bed, hugging. Cuddling is great, until Fifty has to use his hands to sign:
]

"You seem to have gotten really cuddly lately. I don't mind it, but is something wrong?"

[ There's a moment before Ten rolls on top of Fifty with their hands on both sides of his head, digging into the terrible mattress.

"I want you."

...

What will you do?

[ What will he do, indeed. Gaku can’t let this continue further, his anger at seeing Ellis—or Fifty, rather—in a situation like that causing him to decide to interrupt. It isn’t even an issue with jealousy either. He knows what Ten is up to here and he’s not gonna stand by and let Fifty go through this distress.

So, he grabs a rock and chucks it right on through the window. ]

[ The rock breaking the window immediately grabs Ten's attention and they try to see who threw it. Meanwhile, Fifty also sits up since Ten abruptly got off him.

Will you hide? Run away?

[ >Neither

Gaku strolls up to the window and leans in. He at least has the thought to look sheepish as he pokes his head through. ]


Sorry about that! I hope I didn't interrupt anything?

[personal profile] framestory 2023-02-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ten almost glares at Gaku, but ends up just looking exasperated instead. Ten and Fifty really do look like they're related like this.

"You can't just throw a rock and say that. How will you replace it?"

Meanwhile, Fifty peeks out the window to see Gaku. Hm. He seems to be staring at Gaku at first because he's attractive, but then he settles for a more analyzing sort of stare. This is a story. Who is this?

Who are you?

[ He just shrugs. ]

I have plenty of money, so that shouldn't be an issue.

[ Gaku catches Fifty staring at him and smiles a little bit. He should probably introduce himself, right? He's about to say his own name, but then he realizes—

How suspicious would that look? Quickly, he thinks of a number. ]


I'm Twenty-two.

[ "Another new one, huh?"

Ten smiles, though it should be very obvious to Gaku that it doesn't reach their eyes.

"Well, don't go throwing rocks at windows, alright? Lay low, so you won't get picked for the next game."

So Ten turns around and is about to resume what they were doing. Fifty gets dragged along, but he keeps staring at Gaku.

The text window doesn't pop up this time, so Gaku is free to do whatever the heck he wants. Better make it count!

[ Better make it count, huh?

Gaku looks back at Fifty, a thoughtful look on his face, before he signs: ]


"Are they bothering you?"

[ Fifty shakes his head no. He definitely chose to do that to not involve a possible newbie, but also because he doesn't want more people mixed into this. Fifty and Ten are best friends... what could possibly bother Fifty?

But wait. This guy knows sign language?? Fifty looks like he's sparkling again and he's trying to go greet Gaku better, but Ten ends up dragging him out the room. Bye, Gaku...

[ They are in the next room over, actually. Ten made sure to close the door and draw the blinds, but all they're doing is cuddling on the bed instead. Ellis seems pretty happy even if Gaku probably knows that he's probably feeling empty at the moment anyway.

But Gaku might also feel a wave of nice feelings. It's stabilization at its work.
]
associative: (23)

[personal profile] associative 2023-02-10 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hm. He kinda hates the stabilization, honestly, and he wonders why Ellis is doing it.

But because of it, he doesn't do anything at all.

Instead, he simply wanders around the building. ]

[personal profile] framestory 2023-02-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ When Gaku wanders around the building, he will suddenly find himself back in front of the door of the room the two of them are at.

The scenery changes. They're at an infirmary now. Gaku will find himself there, as a nurse with a lab coat on and all. It looks like Gaku is slowly assimilating into the story. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? That's up to him.

Either way, Fifty can be seen gently bandaging Ten's sprained ankle, it seems. It looks as if a lot of love and care went into the whole thing, and they're certainly friends now.

Right?

Fifty looks at Ten with what seems to be an endearing smile and signs to Ten for them to pass on the message.

"Hey, doctor. Does this look good?"

[ What the hell...? It takes him a moment to realize what is happening before he fully registers what he's being asked.

There's a pang of jealousy in seeing Ellis—Fifty, he reminds himself—look at someone like that, but he pushes that back. If anything, he feels worse for him than himself. Gaku considers signing his answer before ultimately deciding against it. ]


Yeah, it looks great.

[ "He said it looks great. Maybe you should get a nursing degree instead of an accounting degree."

Ten signs to Fifty, and he laughs a little.
]

"I can't really handle scary stuff."

[ Fifty looks over at Gaku and nods to thank him for the bandage wrapping evaluation. ]

What happened, by the way?

[personal profile] framestory 2023-02-11 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ "You don't know, doctor? I was in a game today. I'll spare you the details, but this sprained ankle is a blessing. It could have been much worse."

With that, Fifty finally stands up and hugs Ten. He's glad they're alive... or something.

[personal profile] associative 2023-02-11 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Did you win...?

[ Maybe he's a clueless doctor. Sure. That'll work, right? Because Gaku really wants to know what's going on. ]

[personal profile] framestory 2023-02-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ "For us, winning is surviving. As long as we survive, we win. That's all there is to it. It's a good thing Fifty won't have to take part in them, because he's exempt. He's not part of the feud between the gods."

Ellis actually is, but he's not saying anything. He just nuzzles into the side of Ten's head a little. Doesn't he look cute?

...

[ Gaku simply looks at Fifty, clutching the clipboard he's just now realizing is in his hands a little bit tighter. He knows that Ellis himself is extremely physically affectionate, but he's still bothered by this particular display. ]

Are you two together?

[ He knows they aren't, but you know what? He wants to see what both of them would say. ]
framestory: (pic#9234262)

[personal profile] framestory 2023-02-11 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ I keep forgetting to put fifty instead of Ellis o)-(

Ten smiles at the question, pretty sure that Fifty hasn't heard Gaku since he's still hugging.

"Yes. I think we complete each other."

They sound very sweet with the soothing voice of theirs, but since Gaku knows about Ten's plans already, they might as well be dripping with poison.

Really? I don't think you get along that well.
