[ Wherever Lili is, Shinobu will also be. She's just like that. More like, Shinobu is checking everywhere because it's better to know than not.

She waves a bottle in greeting. It's full of ice and not water. ]

An-san. [ Sounds like anpan. ] How do you like this camp?

[coastal]

Better than the bus, far worse than home.

[just. immediately.]

... and Lili is fine, for the record.

[wisterin]

Lili-san. I, too, would like to be home instead of here.

[ As she walks closer to her, Lili may be able to see Shinobu's nose is a little broken. It's fine. ]

Do you like the people you share a cabin with?

[coastal]

[wh

what the fuck

that distracts her from the fact that she doesn't know what a lilisan is]

—Hey, what happened? Did you get attacked?

[wisterin]

No, I've only kicked Tomioka-san and Anaido-san, and neither of them retaliated.

[ They know better than that somehow. ]

I was testing the rules on the bus.

[coastal]

Oh, so you're the one who beat that guy up.

[that makes sense]

The... hair ornament rule? And then this happened to you?

[wisterin]

He had some previous transgressions to pay for.

[ As if Shinobu didn't try to knife him on the island before showing up on the bus. ]

Yes. As soon as the scrunchie left my hand, the bus moved in such a way that led to this.

[ Mysteriously. Magically. Whateverly. ]

[coastal]

That's what he said too, but he was pretty vague about why. I still need to ask him if he'll tell me more...

[she's so fucking nosey she's gonna get taken out quick]

That's horrible - have you gotten it checked? Is there any way to make it feel better?

[wisterin]

If he doesn't want to tell you but says it's all right for me to tell you, I don't mind telling the story.

[ She'll doxx him with permission. He hasn't annoyed her enough yet that she'll doxx him without it. ]

It's broken. For the moment, icing it is the best for it. It should't take too long to heal.

[it probably takes a while to find her - but eventually, there is lili. by the chicken coop, because she's responsible.

don't mind her as she feeds the chickens, expression some combination of

well

incredibly angry... and just as equally heartbroken]

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu heard Lili yell at the director's office, and it's a sentiment that she shares. Her own fury and sadness have been covered by a smile so sharp it could cut someone, but the moment she finds Lili, she lets her smile fall away. ]

It's absolutely unforgivable.

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

It is.

To think, that we could expect it all and still -

[be blindsided this badly]

I'm going to bring him back. Whatever it takes.

[wisterin]

Death is still death, no matter how much we experience it. To become so used to it would be worrying.

[ She tilts her head to the side. ]

What did it take for you to do so last time?

[ She doesn't know Tsurumaru died the last time, but she knows enough of them got their dead back somehow. ]

[coastal]

All but one of us had to die, and the last remaining had to use their ability to write our wills in order to ensure that all of our deceased were revived.

[which, yeah, isn't the greatest thing in the world]

I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that that's what needs to be done - but I refuse to accept this. I am exhausted by the incompetence of others.

[wisterin]

[ She doesn't like that outcome or that condition. That is way too much murder, way too much murder. ]

All I had to do is to find the right person to take the life of for everyone to be brought back. It's hard to say if what any of us experienced would apply here, and even then— I agree. I don't want a solution that includes more needless slaughter.

[ She's back to smiling. ]

[coastal]

... I don't either, but people need to pay for what they've done. If there's a way to cleanse them, fine. But if someone just felt like doing this for fun—

[nope, she's not going to allow it]

It's unacceptable.

[wisterin]

"Death is now part of the competition."

[ Her smile is going to freeze on her face. ]

Is there any other way to read that?

week 1, friday

[coastal]

[lili is going to be headed into the infirmary - which is great! because she is far more obviously favoring her right leg by now, wincing as she makes it inside and

freezing up a bit when she notices shinobu]

... Oh.

There you are - I heard about yesterday... Are you alright?

[there's also like

bees hanging out for the record. they're vibing.]

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu can be seen wrapping bandages around her hand. There's a tray of fruits and vegetables by her. When she looks up as Lili enters, she sees that wince and the bees and blinks before her brows furrow in concern. ]

I am. But are you? I saw that your group was injured.

[coastal]

[haha!]

... I'm fine. I think I just - pushed myself a little too far today. Is there anything numbing here?

[that is not a fucking solution]

[wisterin]

[ She smiles. ]

Lili-san. Please take a seat on a bed.

[ Her tone says she will fight back if Lili argues. ]

[coastal]

[ . . . she's pouting.]

Must I...

[even as

she complies and goes to sit]

[wisterin]

Thank you. I appreciate it. Please show me what needs to be addressed.

[ She's not even going to assume there isn't anything. ]

I'll let you finish wrapping my bandages in return, if that's something you won't mind doing.

[ Just to show that Shinobu isn't a complete hypocrite in this. ]

[coastal]

... I don't.

[but lili is going to sigh and go ahead and adjust the long skirt of her dress then, revealing the bloodied bandages of a shark bite on her left leg.]

I think it must've reopened when I was running toward the pile of bodies this morning. It wasn't that painful yesterday.

[yes it was, she was just too angry to notice it]

[wisterin]

[ Oh, hm, that's terrible. ]

I will redress this. I think your adrenaline overrode your sense of pain yesterday. Perhaps that was a good thing. There are painkillers here.

[ She grabs painkillers and bandages and all that and gets to work. ]

If you don't mind, how did you get bitten?
