Day 1 Morning

photonement[Somebody made sure to get up bright and early this morning and is waiting outside the hamster dorm. There's not enough sunlight to gleam on her Mary Janes.]
Good morning, Dipper! How are you doing? Ready for breakfast yet?
[Her voice is bright. Too bright, as she works harder than before to curl her lips around the phonemes of his English name. She's self-conscious about whether people will see them together, or if she's somehow misunderstood the rules and he'll think she's crazy.]

where is that thread in the big afternoon post.]I think someone else had come from a game in a warehouse, and that one had a really different aesthetic too. Even less whimsical than Monokuma's school trip of mutual killing or DreamLand. If I were going to run these games that are so methodical and everything I'd want at least some consistency, wouldn't you? These variations in cast and setting are way too big for even a mastermind who just got bored with the same old thing...
[...Mahiru, that thought is really creepy. At least they've made a lot of progress on the train trip]

Date: 2014-09-23 12:01 pm (UTC)Seriously, having one of those in my room is just like on the island. [How nostalgic????] But we didn't have group dorms either. [One mascot is enough for Monokids]

Date: 2014-09-23 12:27 pm (UTC)What does that change? If it's all a big show. Does that tell us how we can break out of the set?
[The train stops, and so Mahiru makes her way off into the house. They have to enter the first funhouse floor before the staircase to the hall of mirrors, leaving Mahiru face to face with a cardboard werewolf.] Man, I didn't notice a lot of this when I went in the first time... [Since it was so crowded. But she should move on to the real topic. She fiddles with her watch nervously - an uncomfortable motion, since unlike a real watch it doesn't slide around on her wrist, instead just digging all the deeper into her flesh.]
So I haven't misunderstood anything - we are "buddies", right?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-23 10:33 pm (UTC)ANYWAY the two decided with the body announcement and whatnot, to detour to the infirmary instead of the house of horrors, assuming there wouldn't be many people around. And it is there where Mahiru asks about the two being buddies. To which he crosses his arms and nods.]
From what I understand, yeah. [He places a hand to his chin for a moment, before pointing to her.]
Which means we have to protect each other, right?

Date: 2014-09-23 11:06 pm (UTC)[She trusts him already, for the rather unflattering reasons of being a twelve-year-old and the twin of the even more adorable child who skipped head-first into a yubitsume setup.]
You're not a VIP, are you? Because I'm not a special anything, so if you were a VIP, the only thing you could do for yourself would be make sure I get converted, and that's a way big gamble with all the other players in the game. But if we're both regular guests on the same team, we got to do our best to protect each other to keep our ranks higher, too.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-23 11:13 pm (UTC)I'm not a VIP, or anything really. I'm just a normal person in this game, I guess. [He shrugs a little.]
You don't actually think the body announcement is real, do you? I mean, there's no way someone actually died, right?

Date: 2014-09-23 11:25 pm (UTC)Ishtar.... was a really loud person... and we've all been woken up. We would have heard him objecting to something like that by now...

Date: 2014-09-23 11:34 pm (UTC)[The others--that might be a better place to focus.]
You should be able to warn Mabel-chan that way.

Date: 2014-09-23 11:44 pm (UTC)[He just hangs his head, knowing that his small hopes of it all being a joke were ridiculous.]
...how am I going to tell Mabel that everything happening right now is real?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-23 11:50 pm (UTC)[Oh no... a sad buddy... what should Mahiru do... Have one (1) awkward shoulder pat.]
I think... she'll figure it out. She seems like a girl who's really dedicated to the truth. Otherwise she wouldn't go around cutting fingers with a mobster, would she...?
[Mahiru would like to think that Mabel is smarter than that]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-23 11:52 pm (UTC)Cutting fingers with a mobster?! [UH SHE NEVER TOLD HIM ABOUT THIS]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-24 12:10 am (UTC)Funny how you were talking about the Chinese mafia - Kuzuryuu's a big name in the Japanese mafia world. Right up there with Sumiyoshi and Inagawa. [Unfortunately, Yamaguchi-gumi is the number one with way bigger name recognition than number two and number three, and the Kuzuryuu-gumi is the ] The biggest yakuza family in the whole world and our "school friend" Fuyuhiko is the heir.
So Mabel thought a pinky promise would be cute but she didn't understand what that meant back when the yakuza invented the idea.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-24 12:16 am (UTC)She always does this! Everywhere I look Mabel's getting herself into some kind of trouble, even if I warn her not to! [SERIOUSLY first she goes around and rides rusty broken rides AND NOW SHES MADE SOME KIND OF PROMISE INVOLVING FINGER CUTTING WITH A YAKUZA HEIR?!]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-24 12:25 am (UTC)Kuzuryuu's on a lot of Solanax since they cut up his head so you probably don't have to worry about him stabbing you in the middle of the night right now, but if he turns out to be on that team, we're all toast.
Wait, maybe I shouldn't be talking about Solanax in front of a kid--[She knows that might offend him but maybe it's a little too mean when he's this freaked out]--I mean, do you even have that in America?
no subject
Date: 2014-09-24 12:28 am (UTC)Never heard of it. [That's the least of his problems right now though.]
So wait, you're telling me my sister made some kind of promise with a mobster who's greedy and willing to kill as long as he isn't drugged? [That sounds terrifying..]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-24 12:55 am (UTC)[Mahiru's head gets sore just thinking about that guy and I finally remembered the other reason why the infirmary was a good idea: Mahiru never took her bandage off all day yesterday. It's all caked red, and she turns away as she puts a new one on.]
But he can't exactly open fire on everyone here. He has to play nice... and have an alibi... if he doesn't want to be executed. He's probably a regular player with no motivation to murder after all. That's how the evidence looks for now. I don't want you to lead a witch hunt just because I knew him and he was rude to me before this situation.
[And she definitely means this situation, not that island. Dipper can take that description of his conduct as he will.]
no subject
Date: 2014-09-24 12:59 am (UTC)He wouldn't go after her if he had to kill someone, would he? I mean she's cute and seems like an easy target........ [Just thinking about it makes his insides feel all twisted up..]
