[ninjay]

[ just like literally everyone else, jay is spending a lot of time out and about in the town, since... well. town. he's about to head about to the motel though, when he hears the sound of... something? being thrown against a thing?

he follows the noise, wondering what could that be!!!!! HM!!! ]

[intolerable]

[ Somewhere in the museum, Omega's got a boatload of bricks. The dilapidated buildings were a certain source, and she had hauled a lot of them into the museum.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Her efforts were for nothing-- no matter how hard she threw, the items on lockdown in the museum wouldn't move an inch. She thought if it didn't give her the result she wanted, she could at least engage in vandalism-- but even the paintings were untouchable. ]

OH, COME ON, YOU FREAKS! [ She's clearly at the end of her rope. ] IF YOU WON'T LET ME DEFEND MYSELF WHAT GOOD ARE YOU?

[ninjay]

[ oh my god

he's honestly considering turning around and pretending that he saw nothing, because what the hell? but he can't help but be curious, so jay will cautiously approach omega. ]

What in the world are you doing?

[intolerable]

Oh, I'm letting out my frustrations.

Wanna join?

[ninjay]

I'm content with just watching. Please, carry on.

[ WITH... WHATEVER THIS IS.... ]

You wanted a weapon?

[intolerable]

[ Wha-BAM! One more brick at a glass window containing a weapon as frightening as it was appealing. The brick breaks off more than the wall shows any damage. ]

Yeah, I wanted a weapon. Something that really says 'don't mess with me'. Humans always leap to killing each other in situations like this, so someone's gonna be dead by the weekend.

It won't be me.

[ninjay]

Just be a good girl and stay in your room. You'll be fine.

[ ... ]

Unless your roommate tries to kill you, but at least that will be a rather straightforward trial.

[intolerable]

He's a wimp with a weird manly voice! He wouldn't stand a chance!

[ Picks up a brick, hucks it. No dice. ]

Huh. Maybe I should keep one of these.

[ninjay]

I doubt anyone will notice a missing brick.

[ jay assumes she's talking about anderson? that's the only person he can think of that fits that description. ]

Are you planning on defacing all of the buildings, or just this one?

[intolerable]

I'd deface it if it let itself be defaced. So far it's just a really good brick-smasher.

There's no cans of spray paint anywhere, but boy, if there were--

[ninjay]

Have you tried asking any of the waitstaff for some?

[ he doubts there will be. ]

[intolerable]

I bet they'd know my intentions and not want their precious murder-town vandalized.

[ninjay]

Considering what they have managed to do so far, I wouldn't be that surprised.

How long have you been at this?

[intolerable]

I dunno. An hour? 45 minutes? All I know is that throwing is starting to become a pain... no matter what, I don't think these weapons can be accessed at all.

[ninjay]

It would be too easy if we could get something like this right away, I think.

[ he's not too surprised. ]

[intolerable]

Hmmph.

And I wanted to carry one around to look cool. Like 'don't mess with me', you know?

[ She stops her brick tirade, finally tired out. ]

Hey. Are you really concerned with dying here?

[ninjay]

Dying is pretty far on the bottom of my list of things that I would like to do, so I am a little concerned, yes.

[ he's confident that he can defend himself, but he knows that if he lets his guard down someone might get him. especially sans eres. ]

[intolerable]

It almost feels fake. Like we'd get a little preamble leading up to this, instead, it's just-- nope, murder times.

[ Omega herself doesn't look or feel too concerned about it. ]

[ninjay]

We were right to think that they weren't going to kill us all right away then. It's because they wanted us to do it instead.

[ he reaches down to pick up a brick, but doesn't throw it. ]

Do you have any theories on how it'll start?

[intolerable]

Probably someone's just unhinged enough to kickstart it. Blackmail? Hostage situation? If they can grab us, they can definitely grab someone else from home...

[ninjay]

[ that's all definitely true. ]

So it can either start with just one death or many, depending...

[intolerable]

Yeah. However many they want, as a matter of fact. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that suffering is the name of the game.

[ninjay]

You don't sound too concerned by it. Not scared of dying?

[intolerable]

Witches can come back to life by playing games in Hell. I'll get scared once I see what happens to the dead.

[ snickering ] Assuming I don't die on Thursday.

[ninjay]

Hm. Well, if you die on Thursday you'll have a front row seat for what happens to the dead.
