Weekend 0, Sunday

[aono]

[Hey Marie, guess what! The next time you go to use the shared bathroom, there is a cat-sized wolverine sleeping in the sink.

Rin isn't in the room by the way, but he left the door open between his room and the bathroom. Which is how Rinkou got in the sink in the first place.]

[classmate]

[ Well

HOLY SHIT!?

Marie enter the bathroom and only sees a giant, fuzzy little thing sitting in the sink. And without any hesitation she screams at the top of her lungs. ]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

[aono]

[Rinkou startles and makes some kind of surprised hiss noise. SHE WAS SLEEPING!!!

But it's enough noise to get Rin to come over and stick his head in to make sure nobody's hurt.]

What's wrong? You okay?

[classmate]

Rin-kun!

[ She points at Rinkou. ]

Th-That! In the sink!

Week 0, Saturday

[aono]

[Well they're suitemates so he'll come across her eventually. Hi Wicked. Assuming it's still Wicked.]

Hey. What should I call you?

[He's assuming not also Marie, her deal seems a bit different from his.

Speaking of 'his deal', the other Rin is Aware of what's going on but is only observing with a vague curiosity. He's not going to show up right now.]

[classmate]

[ what if i said it wasn't wicked

but it is ]

Nothing. Forget I exist.

[aono]

[He would have apologized profusely, but.]

It's kinda late for that now, isn't it? Everyone saw you there.

[classmate]

Nah.

They were way more concerned about the guy who, y'know, murdered a girl.

[aono]

I guess that's true. He DID have a knife out and tried to kill a sword and all.

[None of this would make sense without context.]

[classmate]

Exaaaaaaaaactly.

[ She scoffs. ]

So there's no reason for me to do introductions or whatever. I'm just gettin' some air before I let that tramp back out. It's been a minute.

[aono]

Why? Usually when 'the other guy' gets out I have to fight him to get control of my body back. But you'd give it back to her willingly?

[classmate]

'Cause I'm fuckin' tired.

[ She scoffs. ]

She can live life all naïve and stupid, but I can't stand this shit.

[aono]

You can't stand the trials, you mean?

[classmate]

Sure. Yeah. That's what pisses me off.

You're dumber than a bag of bricks.

[aono]

You're not even the first person to say that to my face today, you're gonna have to get a little more creative if you wanna make me mad.

[Knowing that he's stupid really helps keep his temper in check here, even if the other Rin is now mildly annoyed at being called stupid again.]

The trials piss me off. I hate people dyin' and then everything that comes after that. I hate that we couldn't stop Sieghart and just talk him outta what made him so mad. So I guess I thought that might be what's got you mad too.

[aono]

[He looks at the sink. The bitty wolverine there is trying to scramble out of the sink and over to Rin but keeps peeling out on the slippery bowl.]

...You mean Rinkou?

[classmate]

I'm not here to win any name-calling competition, but if I wanted to try I sure as hell would.

[ WHO is gonna beat her after straight up calling Chang Geng a tiny dick licker asshole?? ]

I don't give a damn about who dies -- we're just all gonna come back, right? [ A beat. ] That said, I won't let anyone kill me. But I'm gonna assume that if it's anything like what I've experienced before, there's something controlling him to feel that way. To feel angry, to feel like he has to kill...

Then again, they've got people we care about hauled up.

[ At the mention of that, her eyebrow twitches. She seems visibly upset but... something about her own statement pisses her off. ]

I hate that the most. You wanna see me pathetically trying to survive a death game? Fine. But leave the people I care about out of it.

[aono]

[Anything controlling them...Rin's frown deepens when he hears that, while the other Rin deep inside Rin's heart just feels amused.]

Yeah. They didn't need to go get other people involved in this. Yukio already...

[...]

He just deserves more than all of this. They all do. And when I find out who got us in this mess, I'm gonna kick their ass all the way back to whatever world they came from.

[classmate]

[ Noooo… she slip… ]

… Is this who you were looking for earlier?

[aono]

Yeah! This is her: my daemon, Rinkou.

[Rin will step over to scoop her up in his arms. She is being a wiggly baby right now though.]

She's normally a lot bigger than this though, I think this place made her smaller so she doesn't rip up the carpet or anything.

[classmate]

Just kick their ass? Fucking wimp.

I’m gonna be sure to kill ‘em and send ‘em straight to hell.

[aono]

[Rin, a shounen protag who has death trauma:]

Isn't that a little bit much? How're they gonna learn a lesson if they're dead?

[classmate]

[ A SIGH OF RELIEF ]

I'm glad that she's smaller... any bigger and I might've really fainted.

[aono]

[Urk]

No fainting! She's a big softie, I swear. Daemons are like...they represent our true feelings, the ones we don't always show easily. So Rinkou has always been really gentle and friendly. ...and kinda lazy too.

[He has to admit to the negative traits too, whoops.]

[classmate]

You think they'll learn anything just from getting their ass beat?

Man... don't you think it's a little more fucked up to completely screw up someone's brain just 'cause?

[classmate]

[ LOOKING AT RIN LIKE HE’S A LIAR AND A CHEAT. ]

So she won’t bite me… ?

Week 2, Tuesday

[aono]

[Rin is standing outside the Employee Lounge door and staring at the door. While he's not a staff member, he's trying to decide if he suddenly doesn't perceive that so he can break into the lounge and see what there is to see.

He'll instead decide to grab a partner in crime first, and he waves to the first person he sees. Which is Marie (or Wicked IG, depends on who's out right now). Come commit crimes with him.]

[classmate]

[ Don't worry! It's Marie!

Also... crimes? ]

Is there something wrong, Rin-kun?

[aono]

[He shakes his head. Nothing wrong here! But then he holds a finger up to his lips in a 'shh' motion before pointing at the door. They should be sneaky if they're checking out the employee lounge.]

[classmate]

[ She cants her head, evidently confused, but decides to be quiet?

Does... Should she cup an ear to see if she hears anything? ]

[aono]

[There is no sound coming from inside the employee lounge! Rin listens for a moment too, and once he's satisfied that there's nothing in there he'll carefully push the door open to peek in.

It's empty, but there are snacks to be found.]

[aono]

Does this face look like she's going to bite you?

[It's a wolverine. They're normally pretty gentle but they do look scary.]

[classmate]

[ … Snacks.

She’s going to look at Rin and shrug her shoulders. Stepping into the employee lounge to look at… I guess whatever snacks they might be able to steal!? ]

Week 3, Saturday

[aono]

[Is it Marie? Is it Wicked? Who knows!

Regardless, Rin is going to knock on her door. Hopefully she's home.]

Hey, I- You got a moment? I just...I dunno, I wanna talk I guess.

Week 4, Saturday

[aono]

[Rin is in his room, but it's easy to come right in since he left the door open.

He's made himself into a blanket-burrito on his bed. He's not sleeping though, his eyes will peer out at whoever comes to visit.]

[classmate]

[ Hey pal.

Marie enters the room, clutching her side, but appears evidently concerned. ]

Rin-kun?

[aono]

[He's going to sit up as soon as he sees how she's holding herself.]

Yeah? You alright? You don't look so good.

[classmate]

I’m fine, I’m fine.

[ She straightens her posture, putting on a smile. ]

How’s your head? Does it hurt? Do you feel sick in any way?

[aono]

[He still worries...]

Er...it hurts a little, yeah. But I don't feel sick.

...you sure you're okay?

[classmate]

I shouldn't be the one that you're concerned over.

Rin-kun... this other half of you -- is the only way to calm him by causing harm to you?

[aono]

No, I mean, it's not like he's some mindless monster or something. But he's like...he doesn't listen to people. Once he's decided on something, he does it. Especially if he's mad when he's decided on something. So if it was to stop a fight, then it probably was the only way to stop him.

If you catch him when he's calm then he can probably be talked to, at those times he's just impulsive instead of destructive. But what I remember about the end there was really shitty. I don't think he would've listened then.

[classmate]

But if a fight hasn't started, do we have to hurt you both... ?

I just didn't like the way they confronted either of you.
