week 2, sunday

[ninjay]

[ a few hours after the execution is over, jay is wandering around the motel to find something to do. the ice cream, unfortunately, could not get rid of the bad taste in his mouth that was left from watching kamui get killed in that way, so he figures a distraction would be nice.

he crosses paths with kaiba near the pool area, because i just decided that right now. ]

Kaiba. [ he nods his head in greeting. ]

Comments

[ninjay]

[ this is already going a lot better than their last conversation here, yes.

jay takes a second to consider before accepting the offered seat. it's not like he has anything better to do, and kaiba has proven himself throughout the trials that he's fairly capable. even if they end up being petty at each other after a few comments, it wouldn't hurt to attempt to have a normal conversation with him.

well, "normal." ]

What are you doing? [ jay can't read japanese so he can't even attempt to peek at the paper. ]

[crushcard]

[ When Jay takes the offered seat he will at least attempt to be civil and/or polite and stop whatever he's writing for the moment, although he's still got his pen in his hand and he may or may not be idly spinning it every so often because he's Extra like that. ]

Reading. Sometimes the front desk actually bothers giving you actual books, and there's only so many things a person can do when confined to the motel.

[ At least during the week, when they're allowed to venture further beyond the motel, he finds that he has more things to do, more things to keep his mind occupied.

Take away his laser-point focus towards his work and his technology and he's ending up to be quite the restless wanderer, apparently. ]

I needed the distraction.

[ It's said candidly, blandly, and it would have almost been flippant if not for the abnormal weight that Seto has put behind his words. Don't they all need the distraction, after what happened that morning?

It's not every day you witness someone being crushed to death by spikes. ]

[ninjay]

[ the worst part is knowing that the executions are more likely to get more horrific than not.

he thinks back to hana screaming for them to kill her faster and kamui struggling to free himself. that could be any of them next, even if they don't kill anyone. all it takes is for everyone to vote for the wrong person at trials. ]

That's understandable. Even though we got the right person this time, it didn't make watching that any easier.
