15 Strangers R7 PC: Week Five, Thursday/Friday, Zack and Hubert
(( CW: murdering ))
[ So, Aoi has set up a nice late night snack of scones and tea in the Tea Room. He's waiting for Zack, who will have no idea the gathering was called for murder. ]

Thanks, mate. You want a cuppa too, while we're at it?
no subject
[He stares at Zack for a moment, a strange emotion on his face... but it doesn't last long. He nods and steps back into the hall, leaving Zack to his fate]
no subject
[With that, he turns to Aoi.]
So, what's up? What did you want to talk about?
no subject
[ Aoi watches Hubert exit, then looks at Zack. His face is a forced smile. But he's such a good actor you'd never tell he's faking it. ]
We never really hang out, right?
no subject
[He takes up the tea.]
I may have overreacted...
no subject
So this is my way of making it up to you.
Tell me if you like the tea. I made it myself.
no subject
Oh, an almond tea! It's lovely.
A little bitter, but. It's not bad.
[Sip!]
no subject
Yeah, I've been experimenting with ingredients.
no subject
[Noms on the scone.]
Oh, is this a cheese scone?
no subject
[ And the poison. ]
no subject
[With that, he finishes off the tea, putting the half-eaten scone down.]
So, um. What are your plans for this weekend? I'm personally hoping no one dies, but...then that means we all lose our memories...
no subject
[ Smile! ]
no subject
I'm sorry--what?
[He immediately stands up at this.]
no subject
I really am, truly, sorry.
no subject
[He's starting to feel sick. Literally as well as figuratively.]
Why-I--I trusted you-
[Right, he's out the door. He needs to get to the Infirmary and hope there's something that for him--]
no subject
cw: emeto
He manages to get to the bathroom before he doubles over and vomits on the floor, coughing up and hacking the scone-and the tea.
Immediately, he feels much, much better.]
B-blimey-
no subject
[ Aoi does have to stab him. He comes up close, thrusting the dagger towards Zack when he's not paying attention. ]
no subject
[Zack lets out a howl as he is stabbed. No. No nono. He's not going to die, not aga-
Weapons.
He manages to avoid Aoi as he breaks free, doing a three point turn and breaking into a run to the stairs. With a dash he's halfway downstairs-]
no subject
Come on, why won't you die?!
no subject
[He manages to get to the weapons room. He manages to grab a sword, though his choice cases a bunch of swords to fall off the rack-and make a lot of noise.
Still, at least he has a way to defend himself.]
Stop this!!
no subject
[ Aoi tries to stab him again, but he's more desperate about it this time. ]
no subject
[And-perhaps to both men's surprise-he parries the hit.]
Huh-!?
no subject
[ Aoi stabs several more times towards him. Will he get parried each time? ]
no subject
Well. He's not going to complain.]
Stop this now and I'll pretend this never happened!
