birbs | Nagisa | [closed for Mayuri]

Nagisa wasn’t entirely sure what to do with her time. Her roommate was dead, so she could go through his stuff, but she didn’t feel right doing that so soon. She was a little nervous about wandering around since her haircut was so drastic, and showed so much of her scar (she probably should have thought about what she was doing when she picked up those scissors). Perhaps she could spend those coins she got? Sounded good enough.

After using those coins on the strange machine and getting some items, she found herself bored again. The only really useful item she got was a sketchbook. Maybe she could go to the aviary and draw some birds. She liked birds. Birds were nice.

Before she did that, though, she had to go get some pencils from her dorm. She could probably drop off the other crap, too. Well, maybe she could keep the jelly beans and eat those. And the rings were nice, too, but Nagisa wasn’t really a fan of jewelry. Maybe she could give them to someone?

She pondered this as she made her way to the dorms. She placed the rings and keychain on her desk, grabbed some pencils, and headed out again. When she entered the hallway, she ran into Mayuri. That was good, she needed to spend some time with her.

"Mayuri-chan! Do you want to go to the aviary with me? I’m going to draw some birds."

She smiled and looked down, still feeling shy around her…girlfriend? Is that what they were? At least Mayuri had already seen her scar, so she didn’t have to deal with that.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri had run after Nagisa after the trial but had quickly lost her, ending up wandering about for a while, also stopping by the machine when she happened to pass it but not seeing Nagisa there. She didn't really get too much though save some rather cool pens, ending up carrying all four of her items around as she continued her search for Nagisa.

When she saw her there she sighed in relief, and she was smiling too, she looked so cute with her new haircut. She did have to admit the scar wasn't as much so but she really didn't think it detracted from her cuteness at all, Nagisa's Nagisa and Nagisa's cute.

"Nagisa-chan! Yeah, I'd love to."

Mayuri wasn't too sure exactly what they were now either, though she was certainly hoping that they were girlfriends.

"Oh though hey do you like pineapple juice?"

She held out the hand with the items that she couldn't fit in her pockets, so just the juice and the pens.

Not Again | Mayuri | Motive Reaction

[shslfantasy]

Immediately after putting on the headphones, Nagisa threw them to the ground. God, that was loud. It really hurt her ears. Plus, she wasn’t the biggest fan of listening to people scream. Especially since those people turned out to be her own parents.

It was like something shattered in Nagisa. After seeing her secret laid in front of her ready to be told one week, then practically being burnt alive the next, and now having her parents - the only living beings who cared about her - tortured and recorded so she could hear it…she had enough. This was more than she could bear.

She left the room, not quite sure where her feet where taking her. She couldn’t think. Nothing around her was able to catch her attention. Until her heard sobs.

"Mayuri…?"

Her voice broke slightly when she said the other girl’s name. Now that she thought about it, she realised she was wrong. Her parents weren’t the only ones who cared about her. Mayuri cared. Mayuri said Nagisa was her friend. Mayuri comforted Nagisa when she was in pain, both physically and emotionally.

Slowly, Nagisa sat down next to Mayuri and wrapped an arm around her.

"It’s gonna be okay…It’ll stop, it won’t go on forever. They’ll be fine…They’ll…They’ll make it out alive, and we will too."

Even though making it out alive would mean that someone else had to pay the price.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri really didn't notice Nagisa at all until she actually touched away, Mayuri quickly hugging her and pulling her in close, now sobbing into her. She had realized after a moment that this motive would make at least one person kill, if not more, so really no loved ones were likely to die. Once more everything would be perfectly fine in the end. The problem was that it would only be okay in the end, for now her parents and Kenny were in pain.

She said something then, not really anything intelligible, no, she'd lost that ability long ago. After a few more attempts she just pulled Nagisa closer, looking up at her and repeating again the jumbled phrase again. 

She just wanted to go home, she wanted to protect her parents, to hear her dad joke about how his name had saved him yet again. She couldn't just let this happen, she had to help, she had to. Of course though she couldn't, she was just weak and stupid.

Not Again | Mayuri | Motive Reaction

Really Mayuri hadn’t been expecting much from this motive, not after how amazingly mediocre that last motive had been for her, having simply walked down to the ticket booth and put in the headphones.

Then she heard.

Her eyes went wide as she realized who’s voices those were, her mom, Uncle Kenny, her dad. Oh god, this couldn’t be happening, not again. She quickly tugged the headphones out of her ears, throwing the tape player away from her and sprinting towards what used to be the exit but was now simply a thick sheet of metal. She banged and scratched at the door, not able to do much more than hurt her hands and ruin her nails, screaming some near unintelligible pleas to be let out, to save him.

After about a minute or so she just gave up though, backing away from the door about a foot before crumpling to the ground, curling up and starting to sob.

Aliens and Demons and Dinosaurs | Shinju | Closed for Mayuri

[shslurbanlegends-blog]

Oh sure, Shinju has a basic knowledge of that whole Murphy’s Law thing, but she’s too much of an optimist for that. Shinju seemed more focused on the fact that this girl was smiling than the fact that she had no clue how she got here or what was going on. It would be fine. Yep.

"Oooo, cool~! Is there stuff like fossils and chemistry? Ooo! Is there a bubble room?"

She recalled a museum back home in the US that had a bubble room. That was great.

"Well, we can explore together then, friend! Let’s go go go~!"

She pointed off in some random direction and seemed to await the girl to lead the way with walking.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri was silent for a second, thinking on the question.

"I think there's a fossil exhibit on the second floor, I don't think there's any chemistry though unless this is it. Bubble room though? Like in that Willy Wonka movie?"

Since she had started talking to the other girl she had actually started to forget about what had happened before, instead thinking about exploring and all the cool things that could be here.

"Yeah, let's go."

With that she started off towards the nearest room, save the theatre, of course.

[scientific-despair]

Aliens and Demons and Dinosaurs | Shinju | Closed for Mayuri

[shslurbanlegends-blog]

Shinju truly had no idea what this whole thing was. As far as she was concerned, it was a big surprise party or a game or something. It was a science museum, how bad could it be?

"Oooo, a store? Neat!"

She tilted her head, but still smiled brightly.

"What exhibits are on the other floors? Wanna look around on this floor first, friend? I wanna see it all, hehehe!"

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Wow Shinju. Wow. Don't you know that when you ask how bad something could be it's always horrible? It's like a law of physics or something.

"Yeah, down on the first floor, there's all sorts of stuff like this in there."

Shinju's cheer seemed to be rubbing off on Mayuri though, it was hard not to smile when someone was just so happy.

"Other floors? Hmm... well there's an aviary on the third floor, and there's this one room with a bunch of sand, and some other stuff too, don't really go around there much."

She had barely even gone places when someone had died on the second floor, it was almost as if she wasn't allowed to actively participate in trials.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

I want Mayuri, Shinju and Marco to form a friendship triade.

please

I need this now

Aliens and Demons and Dinosaurs | Shinju | Closed for Mayuri

[shslurbanlegends-blog]

Yes! The tired-looking girl smiled, so that was a good sign. Maybe she just didn’t sleep the night before or something, that made a lot of sense to Shinju. She, on the other hand, was full of energy because she had apparently gotten some pretty good sleep.

"Yeah yeah, your shirt is super cute~! It’s nice to meet you, Mayuri-san! I’m Shinju Kato!"

She looked around the hallway with wide, wondrous eyes before smiling back at her new friend. 

"What sorts of exhibits does this place have? I don’t even know where to start with looking around!"

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Why did this girl seem so excited? Did she really not even have the slightest idea that she was in any danger at all? She'd understand her not knowing about the murder but she really seemed more excited than anything else.

"Oh...well I got it from the museum store so."

And back to the frowns with Mayuri, SHSL Upset.

"Nice to meet you though, Kato-san. As for exhibits...well...there are really a lot. Each floor seems to have a different theme though, I'm not quite sure what this one's is though."

[scientific-despair]

Aliens and Demons and Dinosaurs | Shinju | Closed for Mayuri

Wow, this place was great! A science museum! Science was awesome, and this girl was eager to look around and see all the cool stuff in here. She’d already met a legend, what more could make today even better? Making some more friends? Hell yeah.

She exited the theater and went out into the hallway, stopping upon seeing someone in a particularly adorable dinosaur shirt. She smiled brightly and skipped on over to the girl, rather oblivious to how upset she looked.

"Ooo, hello there, friend! I love your shirt! Whatcha doing out here? Wanna explore with me? This place is neat!"

Yep, she clearly didn’t have the slightest clue how much danger she was in. Good job, Shinju, just keep smiling.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Really Mayuri had not particularly wanted to speak to any of the new kids just yet, she certainly did want to talk to people who had missed Hoshi's outburst during the last trial but really she didn't want to have to deal with being the one to explain all of this to someone.

Unfortunately though the very last of the newcomers that she actually wanted to speak to came up to her just as she was having that though, smiling of all things while rambling on about her shirt and exploring and how absolutely neat this whole place was. Perfect.

"My shirt...?"

Really she hadn't thought too much about it, simply having grabbed it because all of her shirts had been damp from helping Nagisa and it had reminded her of her dad, plus at least it wasn't as bad as the stalactite shirt.

"I suppose if you'd really like to explore..."

She paused for a second before attempting a smile.

"I'm Mayuri Smith by the way."

[scientific-despair]

oh no you dont | Nagisa | Execution Reaction + More Stuff (for Mayuri)

[shslfantasy]

Although Mayuri didn’t seem to hear her, Nagisa continued calling out. However, Mayuri continued to ignore her. This didn’t deter Nagisa and she continued to follow the other girl up until she had a door slammed in her face.

"Mayuri-san! Please open the door!"

She added to that by pounding on the door. She wasn’t sure what to say, so she just kept knocking on the door, hoping that Mayuri would get up and answer.

She wasn’t even sure what it was specifically that made Mayuri this upset. Getting punched? No, she could have just hit Hoshi back. Mayuri was strong, Nagisa knew this first hand (especially considering the bruise that was still present on her jaw). What was it that Hoshi had said before he punched her? Something about her being Nigerian? That didn’t make any sense…Mayuri told Nagisa she was African-American. Maybe Hoshi got confused, or was racist or something? But if it wasn’t true, then Mayuri wouldn’t be so upset about it.

Then, that would mean that Mayuri had lied to her…

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri did notice that, turning around to look up at the door before quickly standing. She hesitated just then, staring at the door for a good half a minute, not sure if she should open it in case Nagisa was mad...she didn't seem mad though...so Mayuri did open the door, doing so slowly and cautiously.

Mayuri just stared at Nagisa for a second, seeming to be doing quite a bit of that now that her secret had been revealed, before simply hugging her. She really liked Nagisa, she wasn't really sure how much, only that she had never felt this way for someone before now. Nagisa's presence calmed her, she was safe, at least for now. She did trust the other girl despite having lied to her, she'd been told that she shouldn't tell anyone, that no one was safe, but Nagisa was safe, Mayuri was sure of it.

It wasn't as if Nagisa was upset or anything because of this sudden revelation.

[scientific-despair]

oh no you dont | Nagisa | Execution Reaction + More Stuff (for Mayuri)

Nagisa watched the interaction between Mayuri and Hoshi, ready to run across the courtroom and deal with Hoshi at any moment. However, Mayuri seemed to be able to take care of herself well enough. So Nagisa settled for glaring at Hoshi in a very nasty way. She only stopped glaring once the execution started.

Again, she watched in horror. This time the gruesomeness of it actually registered, making her feel sick to her stomach. When it was over, she turned to immediately leave, although she headed towards Mayuri first.

That’s when she heard Hoshi start to yell again. She frowned and picked up the glare again.

Then Hoshi punched Mayuri. Nagisa could feel rage starting to build up. Why wasn’t Mayuri fighting back? Or saying anything?

As Mayuri ran away, Nagisa felt the anger flare up even more. She raised her middle finger in Hoshi’s direction, then followed Mayuri, calling out for the other girl and ignoring Hoshi heading in the same direction.

"Hey! Wait up! Mayuri-san!"

Hopefully she’d be able to help Mayuri as Mayuri had helped her in the past.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Nagisa's calls to her didn't even seem to register to Mayuri as she ran, wiping tears from her eyes, not even bothering to hide them. Hoshi had told them all, he'd told everyone and he probably hadn't even realized what he had done. Why hadn't she hid that card better? Why hadn't she just told him the secret was bad at left it at that? Why did she have to tell him it was nothing?

She fumbled with her ID, trying to open the door to her dorm. Once she was in she quickly slammed the door shut, curling up in front of it and just letting everything out, sobbing at the top of her lungs.

To think she had just been thinking about how things were actually starting to get better here.

And It All Comes Flooding Back |Hoshi| Motive Reaction (Open idc)

[shslpop-punk]

Hoshi’s breath slowed as he managed calmed himself down, though he was still shaking like a wet dog.

"I-I’m s-sorry….I…I.." He dried his face, though that didn’t really help, considering the tears wouldn’t stop.

He sat up on the bed, rubbing both of his arms.

"I n-need… Y-Yos…." Fuck, that would be selfish, this was just all in his head right? He was just paranoid.

"Nev-va mind…."

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri decided not to push the point on whatever it was hoshi had been just about to say, instead just nodding and softly patting his shoulder. She thought back to the last person she had helped with the motive, hesitating before speaking.

"Do you want me to knock you out, you won't be albe to feel the pain while you're out. I obviously can't do it too often but it is some temporary relief."

Mayuri no.

[scientific-despair]

And It All Comes Flooding Back |Hoshi| Motive Reaction (Open idc)

[shslpop-punk]

The boy let out an immediate scream, consisting of both pain and fear. Bad idea Mayuri. He turned, instinctively shielding himself from the girl.

"NO M-MORE… PLEASE…!" He sounded so terrified, he must have thought Mayuri was someone else. He peeked through his arms after a few seconds, snapping back into reality. "M…Mayuri-san?" Aw shit.

Hoshi’s face was wet from tears, ad his eyes probably red. Nerd.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri jumped back at the scream, nearly jumping out the door. Was he okay? Well of course he wasn't okay but was he completely alright in a general sense?

"O-oh, oh no, I'm so sorry."

She started to approach him again as he seemed to calm down, more cautious this time.

"Are you...are you okay? Do you need anything?"

[scientific-despair]

And It All Comes Flooding Back |Hoshi| Motive Reaction (Open idc)

The high pitched voice of the bear was starting to become familiar to Hoshi. That was probably bad.

What was even worse? Hearing that awful voice announce that awful motive. Fuck. FUCK. Hoshi was scared now, if he wasn’t already before. And it wasn’t too long until he felt those cigarette burns coming back, along with all those broken ribs and arms, and all those deep, deep scars.

Oh god, he could already feel the aches in his head. Hoshi could feel his legs weakening after a while, shit, he needed to get to his room, maybe take a rest. This couldn’t be happening, right? Right, it was impossible! Ha.

The moment Hoshi got into his room, he crashed on the bed, groaning in pain, forgetting to close the door.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

As Mayuri passed the room on the way to her own she heard the loud groan, turning towards the source and seeing Hoshi laying on the bed, quite obviously in pain as so many were. So she quickly entered the room, rushing to his side and laying a hand on his shoulder.

"Yomohiro-san? Are you quite alright? Do you need anything?"

[scientific-despair]

Time After Time|SKULL☆CRUSHER|Motive Reaction

Skullcrusher had felt a little disconnected from the events that had transpired that past week or so, quite lost in his own head. A cacophony of restless thoughts darting in his subconscious, old feelings and memories that he had thought may never reach the light of day again. Suppressed for all that time, but still laying beneath the surface.

The weight of the current motive hit him quite hard, so to speak, a sucker punch right to reality. Past whatever ridiculous pun he might have cried out with. Hitting him where it hurt most, literally.

Though the brunt of the pain was obviously not going to hit until later on, the mere memory, the suggestion that he would go through it again was awful. He panicked.

His hands clamped against the side of his mask. 

"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO."

He repeatedly refused this reality, his whole body visibly shaking. 

"NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!”

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri quickly spun at the screaming, even for what she'd managed to overhear in Skull's other conversations his screaming was quite loud, obviously this motive wasn't as lame for him as it was for her. So of course she raced over to him, resting a hand on his arm.

"Calm down, hey, calm down. Everything's gonna be just fine, all fine. There's no way he can do this, right? No way at all, you're fine."

Really she wasn't completely sure how she should be comforting him, she really didn't have any idea what injury he could have to live, especially considering he had his entire body covered. She really wanted to help, not wanting anyone to have to go through something that obviously terrified them so much.

and i was like 'oh my god' | Nagisa | [Trial Room to Girls' Bathroom]

[shslfantasy]

Now the girl was in the stall with Nagisa? It was surprisingly calming to have someone there, but Nagisa was still hesitant about showing her emotions so blatantly in front of others. She wanted to turn away, but instead found herself leaning against the girl.

"I’m s-sorry…"

It was barely a whisper, but at this proximity the other girl definitely heard Nagisa, even despite the sobs that were still escaping.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri just pulled her closer, rubbing her back comfortingly. 

"It's fine, it's all fine. It's fine that you're crying, it's fine that you're having these emotions. Something traumatic just happened and everyone reacts to trauma differently, right? Right. So you're fine."

She smiled down at the other girl, really only assuming that she was apologizing for what was happening right then.

[scientific-despair]

and i was like 'oh my god' | Nagisa | [Trial Room to Girls' Bathroom]

[shslfantasy]

Huh, the girl was still there. Most people would have left by now. Or done something to make it worse (although those people usually caused it as well).

Nagisa tried to answer, but her words got stuck in her throat and she just ended up stuttering.

"I-I-I…..I, uh, j-just…."

She stopped herself there, not knowing what she was even going to say in the first place. Although, she supposed a hug would be nice, but she wasn’t quite sure whether she could answer properly.

[shsl-architecture-blog]

Mayuri frowned, only getting more and more worried about the other the longer she tried to help, after a second she just crouched down and crawled under the door, sitting next to the other girl and wrapping an arm around her.

"Everything's gonna be okay, alright? It's all going to be okay, you're safe, you're alive, and it's gonna stay that way, okay?"

She smiled a little, hoping that might help calm her.
