week 13

[baptizer]

[ It's a little too late to express her apologies - after trying so hard to maintain order and put faith in Luke & Jason... she owes some people conversations. Yuno will get a chat invitation after the dust settled on the explosive trial. ]

Yuno? If you can, can we talk? If you're - if you're not ready, I understand.

[ It was a long night. One that was filled with so many emotions. Elizabeth didn't want to intrude - not when she was babysitting everyone else and certainly not when emotions were fragile. ]

Oh, thank the Lord! I'm glad you both are alright. We were arguing over the telecast so I missed some of it. We - we were very worried, but you all did a great job.


... Things will be alright, Yuno.

[ She insists that was for her as well. ]

[bloodteller]

I can't really walk? So I guess it was just smarter for us both to stay back. I still don't know how I managed the vents.

[ which is true. she did terribly, but she finished the race. ]

You guys can see everything, right? Sorry for worrying you. We really didn't want to. We're struggling, but we're alive. All of us. Adrien, too.

...I'm going to make things all right. I will. I'm not going to give up. That's not how I play games like these.

[baptizer]

You managed enough and it was brave of you to attempt so. Rest your legs for the rest of the week unless absolutely needed. I'm sorry you were hurt in the process. Jack and I were worried over the severity of the damage.

... We can if we're in front of the monitors. But, we were all rooting for you. You're safe now - your immunity shields you like the Nuwa ship.

This isn't a game anymore, you've already won. They put you through the worst trial and they wiped the creature's existence off of the ship... that's all I've wanted since... since the 6th week.

[bloodteller]

I'll be okay! Dave's taking care of me, and Adrien knows how it feels to be wounded. If it weren't for them, I'd probably be dead. Dave really did save my life... If I'd been left in there with Jack, then the smoke would have killed me.

Yeah. I know. We'll use it to the fullest. Thank you guys for looking out for us... I don't know if you saw it, but when I said I was willing to die to save us all, I would have done it, so... you saved my life, too.

We got them, Elizabeth. Each of them. We picked them off and in the end, we crushed them more than we crushed them. Didn't we? They can't torment us on the ship now, there's no more motives... we're safe. For now.

We'll get the head bitch, too.

[baptizer]

That's all we could have asked for... that's all I've wanted.

[ She repeated. ]

I wish I could provide more answers for you, to give you the guidance you need to help you during this time but I can't. I don't know what lies ahead over the next week but... I have faith that you and the others can overcome this. That you can all survive.

[bloodteller]

I've made it this far and I won't stop now! Stage two can't be any worse than stage one. I know it can't be. This is the second time I've won a survival game, you know?

And when I get out of here, I'll take you with me to Paris. We'll go see them. I'll take you to see Adrien and Marinette and I'll drag Dave with us. It isn't about faith or anything Elizabeth this is just fact.

[baptizer]

...Just keep that attitude, Yuno. You need to survive this.

[ Elizabeth grows silent for a few minutes about the conversation. She.. she's losing faith. She gave up Paris to help them in this trial. She gave up the illusion she desperately needed... ]

Right. You're right.

[ That's all she'll muster. ]

[bloodteller]

Are you okay
?
You can tell me anything, Elizabeth.
I love you. I'm here

[baptizer]

I'll be fine. Please, there's nothing to worry about with me. Your friendship is enough to keep me going. :)

[bloodteller]

I know that we've all changed because of this game. I know its hard. Sometimes I think I don't know how I've made it this far in but
I'm here
And you are, too

So we have a future waiting for us.

That's what will keep us going

[baptizer]

You made it once, is it so surprising? You're an extraordinary girl who has survival pumping through her veins. Don't ever think otherwise.

[bloodteller]

So are you though.
You got out of the cage, too. We're the same. We both can break free, no matter what.

[baptizer]

I'm glad we met, Yuno... you understand me and

...That means a lot.

Truly.

[bloodteller]

[ elizabeth probably doesn't know what this means to yuno, or maybe she understands all too well. what it's like to be an abandoned child, to be an abused child, to feel unwanted and misunderstood, like there was no future or hope in the world. maybe elizabeth understands yuno's mental state even better than yuno herself, or maybe they're just two girls in similar positions who found each other on a one in one million chance. regardless of the answer, in an instant, elizabeth has given yuno everything she could ever want: an understanding, safety, stability, family. ]

It was God's will that we met. It was meant to be. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here right now. Everything has been set up for us to meet... I believe in that.

So I'm glad, too. I'm so glad that you and I met.

No one else would get me like you do, Elizabeth...

[baptizer]

[ I can't even properly respond to that meta text.

Holy shit you are destroying me.

It does absolutely hold a bit of an uncomfortable aura in the air - Elizabeth wants so badly to keep Yuno safe. To keep the others safe, but... fate..? It's sad that they met under these circumstances. ]

I'm here for you, Yuno. You have people who truly care. We must do our very best now. :)
