Material Disadvantage (open)

She was not generally one for unsolved mysteries. Her repertoire concerned itself with a million self-enclosed tangents, and none of them had to do with what lay upstairs. But after suffocating in that singular cabin for so long, even the bright lights and grating sounds of the surrounding casino started to seem worth looking into. Content with the amount of cash she'd squirreled away already (not that it had done anything but net her some unwanted attention), and having already made a small profit after playing the slot machines out of boredom for a while, Tanji found herself circling the pool table on the second floor, lost in thought.

She wasn't thinking about certain accusations made by a certain SHSL Pool Player. (Because if she were doing something silly like that, she'd have to consider the rest of the trial too.) She'd promised him an open ear and a game once, in return for a try at chess. Back at the cabin, or back at the school. The cuestick she'd picked at random (it felt better to hold something she could theoretically whack the shit out of assailants with) felt like lead in her hands.

Maybe all this thought was just distracting her from the fact that she had no idea how to set this thing up, much less how to play. How could such a failure at everything still be alive.

i'm not insane, in fact, i'm kind of rational. ((open))

Shun was not broken. In fact, he was doing very well. His boyfriend almost died, he lost his closest friend, no one trusted him at all anymore, someone was completely terrified of him. He was doing perfectly fine. His time in the Monocasino was supposedly completely spent in the casino itself, but, to be honest, he hadn't left his room much at all. Late at night or early in the morning, he snuck into the kitchen to grab something to eat, but aside from that, he really didn't have a reason to leave. Oh, yes, Shun was outstanding. Stellar, even.

This was one of the times in which he left his room. It was a bit earlier in the night. He peeked outside of his door before stepping out, glancing over at one of the large aquariums before making his way to the kitchen. Not a very long walk, his room was right across the hall, but it almost felt like forever after staying inside for so long.

The con artist glanced inside the kitchen, quickly making his way into it. Making sure no one else was inside, he sighed to himself before opening one of the many drawers, beginning to rummage through its contents. There had to be one somewhere, he thought, starting to go through the next one.

been looking forward to the future, but my eyesight is going bad (open)

The switch to the new location took far too long. It's not like you were too bothered by the cold, in fact the snowy forest outside the cabin matched your own name, but you still didn't feel overly attached to it when the cold outside was starting to scare you as much as some of the people inside.

The casino, with it's flashing lights and aggressively loud noises was more of an irritant than a new, exciting experience, though. You didn't plan on gambling, and the one time you even have gambled was scarier than anything else you've been able to recall from your rocky past.

Not only were the lights and noises a hazard, but the stairs certainly were too. You've made only a couple journeys up and down them, but with your messed up leg and hardly worth anything arm, you could barely stand even those (haha, stand.) You'd recently decided on climbing up them every morning to throw a coin in and wish for things you knew wouldn't come, and the worst part was getting back down. That's what you had to do now.

With tentative steps, you placed your foot on the top stair and ground your teeth. When you're just walking around on flat ground you've been reasonably able to hop around on one leg, but it would definitely be a poor idea to attempt that down the stairs. The pain was horrendous, even with the halfassed attempts at a splint you fashioned earlier. However, as you should have expected, you only made the climb down three steps until your leg gave out and you rolled down the rest, lying in a heap at the bottom. You were pretty sure you yelled a little bit about it in the process, too.

God damn it.

A Bit of A Gamble [OPEN]

Unlike the previous locations, Yuzuki was slightly excited, immediately, he rushed, without having to run, towards the aquarium and pressed his face against the glass. That was all he wanted to see. Now that he had a good look of them, the fishes weren't that intriguing. Maybe he just missed the interesting specimens? It was a possibility.

After looking through each and every glass section, he quickly got bored and went up the stairs instead. That got him thinking. I didn't get to go sledding... The only area that's remotely close to a slope are these stairs. Hmm... Seriously considering considering the idea, he ended up tripping over the last step. Just in time, he caught himself, a little too quickly, and rolled across the room.

Embarrassing.

TITLE: I Don't Have A Title For This [OPEN]

Sitting up in bed, he had been woken up by an announcement. The nap was pleasant while it lasted. Yuzuki took off his eye mask and placed it on the desk. After letting out a yawn, he got out of bed to do a few stretches while listening to whatever the snake thought was important enough to let them know.

Prized possessions.

A loud crack echoed throughout the room. Was that just his bones and slash or limbs? Or was it the sound of the student's patience snapping? He knew what it was. Swinging his head around to look at the screen, even though it was blurry, he could tell what it had taken. His glasses.

Rambling clumsily around the room, he searched high and low for the missing item. It could just be a fake photo after all but they were nowhere to be found. This means that... He had to go without them. (He could just not leave his room but that isn't healthy.)

Slowly and carefully, Yuzuki peeked his head out of his room and scanned the hallway with squinted eyes. Hopefully, no one would see him on the way to investigate the new area.

yes it is i sleepy

The only answer to embarrassment and no food, according to Kaiya, is literally fucking barricading yourself in your room until it is safe.

She wasn't exactly foreign to the idea of surviving on all the chips and soda she'd squirreled away in her room (she knew monocobra would pull the "haha ur gonna starve to death" shit someday), considering well. That had been her only method of recovery for the scars now on her chest. Locking herself away whenever possible and not letting anyone see her look weak. Also, bonus of not being a target for murder.

Gently she popped her knuckles, figuring, okay, she was out of all the good kinds of chips, her room looked like a fucking bear had gotten into it, and she was dangerously dehydrated after having run out of sugary drink 2 days ago.

(god damn it kaiya)

Food run time.

Hurriedly, she began trying to kick the something about 25-35 empty chip bags she'd so far gone through into the corner, god forbid someone look into her room while she was gone. Cans of soda into another corner. Awesome, it looked... Slightly less like a bear had been in here, and more like a gigantic slob had been in here.

She'd take it.

Swiftly making sure she had, in fact, taken that shower THIS morning and not two days ago morning, she slipped out of the crack of her door and glanced out. Still fucking lame ass cabin and shitty fucking snow. Had she ever gotten her coat back from Shun? Eh, she'd take it when they got out of here. First things first, she'd heard someone had died during her great hikikomori period, so the food should be back, right?

Kitchen. Fuck, where'd she put the kitchen. Shit. Fuck.

Cue a lot of wandering exactly where the kitchen was not and cursing.

Keep Your Cool-- No, that's not right... [CLOSED]

Oh, would you look at the time! It’s time for exercise. Yuzuki strides his way over to the door to open it but was met by a huge gust of wind. Immediately, he slammed it close. The weather hadn't been like this, ever. This wasn't right...

After a while, the announcement came on. Now it made sense. That goddamn snake... Ugh. With Yuzuki around, the food wouldn't even last three days. Then again, he couldn't go outside to do his training... There was always the hallway. Maybe a few days without it wouldn't hurt, right? Right?

Sigh. He ended up finding himself in the cafeteria. Maybe the smell of food will reduce his hunger. Or make it stronger. He lied his head, face down, on the desk. Yuzuki's glasses were cold against his skin, after that burst of cold air. Maybe he should... Take them off.

Haha, as if.

He continued to slump in his seat, all alone. Or was he?

This place is colder than my soul.

Trying her best to stay warm in her bed that lacked a blanket, Aurora jumped awake at the sound of the speakers. She heard the snake's voice boom through them, startling her even more. What could she possibly want now? 

She listened intently to what she had to say, and about the new.. incentives. No food or heat? Was the snake crazy?.. They could all possibly die before anyone gets murdered.. She thought that was probably the whole point of the motive.

Sighing a bit, she decided staying in her room wouldn't do her any good. Wouldn't it be best to be at a place with more people? The more people there were, the warmer it would be, right? She thought that, at least. Hopefully.

'This is just awful.'

Her best bet was the cafeteria. Stuffing her hands into her sleeves, she slowly but surely made her way there, and found an empty table to sit at. What the hell were they going to do now?
