newlydead r2 - day 13 - kyrie

[jinglebros]

[ 11:45 pm. Ticking down. It's near time for the night to roll over and near time for everything to change. The votes will click into place soon. Santa is huffing and puffing in his bed, arms crossed and staring down at his tablet. He'd be biting down on his lip if it wasn't stitched together from being split. His nose is wrinkled and his face blotched from anger. He doesn't know what to do.

He can't sleep. Who could? ]

You could have given me enough time to talk to Rosa...!

I don't want to die, I don't want to go to the hotel, I have to win...!!!

[That silent sobbing turns into a wail, shrill and drawn out, but muffled against him.]

[jinglebros]

Do we kill Rohan? Do we kill our reputations? We'll have to explain it. We'll have to tell the truth about everything. I'm not going down without taking you down with me.

[ He's honest here, at least. Even through both their tears, he's honest. ]

[meatitfeedson]

That's fine, I don't care what any of these people think of me, why would I ever give a flying fuck?! If I leave or die you can tell everyone it was all me, it doesn't matter as long as Ange never knows!!

[She's just...maybe too emotional now. If she takes a deep breath she can think rationally and reasonably as she normally does.]

I'll - I was going to vote for Simon. You're right, I was going to let June die, but you're wrong about my reason, it wasn't revenge at all, just that it wouldn't matter in the end. I would have been upset to watch it too, but it...seemed like a worthwhile sacrifice. I was going to try to send Simon to the hotel. I'll vote for Rohan instead.

[ He cries a little harder at the fact she admitted it and then forces in a deep breath, tries to square his breathing and thinks. ]

Does Simon still have a vote? If you drop your vote for him, does he still have a vote? I'd rather let Rohan die before I kill Simon.

[meatitfeedson]

As far as I know? Isn't Zelda or someone like that voting for him? That's the only reason I chose him in the first place, I didn't want to save someone else, I wanted to get rid of them.

[She chews her lip but finally looks up at him.]

Aoi... Whatever you two do, I love you.

[jinglebros]

[ He answers with only a sob for a moment, then presses a kiss against her forehead. ]

I love you too.

[meatitfeedson]

[Her fingers curl, gripping the sheets and twisting them. Hearing that probably hurts more than being betrayed and killed.]

You're a good kid, you know. You can still stop all this, after this game. I liked you at first because I thought you were like me, but you're not, you can still make yourself happy without being a demon, you know? It's hell, every moment. You can't even be sure if the people you love most are there because they love you too, or if they're just afraid. Don't let that happen...
