Trash Squad Day 11 - SECRETS

[chinhotta]

Are you ready for it?! It's the long awaited final event! This is your last chance to get close before your final dates and the final bonus event!

And, back by popular demand, it's the motive vi—wait, no, not that. Well, I guess you're motivated to build your relationships? That's better anyway.

...Anyway! Check your tablets! You will find you have a few interesting video files! They should be familiar to you! The catch is... if you don't share each one with a different person by nighttime today, they will all be shown to everyone here! We'll have a fun midnight viewing party!

This may seem a bit cruel, but... love is cruel sometimes. Take it as an opportunity to get a bit closer to the people you care about, or everyone will learn a bit more about you! It's win-win when you think about it that way!

[ On your tablets are a minimum of 3 video files! There is no maximum; it's however many you OOCly want to deal with. Each video contains some sort of secret your character has—'secret' loosely defined as anything they would be uncomfortable being thrown up on a big screen in the auditorium in front of everyone. The presentation can be as simple as lines of text with embarrassing facts (Alice wet the bed until she was in junior high!) or as involved as a dramatically edited montage of the murders they committed through their whole life. Your choice!

Each file should be shown to a different person to count as 'shared'. If there is anything they do not manage to, or choose not to, share with someone in particular, comment with a brief description of it over here. These will all be shared publicly in a post which goes up on Thursday before the date announcement post. ]

[ with a smile, genuine and relieved ]

. . . Yes, I'm aware. I'm glad to hear it, however. . . Miss Sonia, I wish you all the happiness in the world.

[assent]

[ What is she supposed to do with this. This is a complete 180 of like a week ago, or at least it feels like it.

Also-- ]

That may have to wait a little while until things are settled. It also depends on whether the conditions are the same as before.

[ Basically she's saying this but what if they can't choose like they did after the murder game??????? ] But I plan on using the rest of my time here wisely.

[counterfaith]

[ look if you don't plan on being a leader that's fine ] Certainly. Then, I hope you will enjoy the rest of your time here.

[assent]

[ Leader of what, Ruler... Like 60% and counting of the world is dead. ]

What about you?

[counterfaith]

[ yeah so you can't be a leader so it's fine ]

Ah. What do you mean?

[assent]

[ It's mostly fine. She will still feel guilty but w/e. I guess. ]

What do you plan to do with your remaining time here? Especially given what most likely lies on your tablet.

[ You can only do one video per person and she knows he hasn't been going around shouting about himself so . . . ]

[counterfaith]

. . . I will let the time quietly pass and watch over everyone, so that nothing unfortunate will come to pass. In other words, the same thing that I have been doing since the beginning.

[ leaning back on the beanbag now ]

Nothing has changed. Even if the contents of this tablet were to be revealed, nothing would change.

[assent]

Would it not...? [ She pauses and glances down at her own tablet. There's a... mix of things on there. Some unpleasant. Some happy. Some... nsfw. ]

You do not mind if people here were to change their opinion of you?

[counterfaith]

In the end, it is the real me that is held in these secrets. What do the opinions of those who do not know me at all matter?

[assent]

I suppose that is true.

[ She rests her tablet on her lap. ]

...Without being too bold to ask, is there anything you wish to share? I have already used most of mine, but there is one or two left.

[counterfaith]

Ah. . . I have little interest in participating in this, but. . . I have a few rather unpleasant videos here, so if possible, in order to lessen the shock for the midnight viewing, I'd like to clear them, but . . . they aren't particularly pleasant.

[assent]

I understand, however... I doubt the fact they plan on having a midnight viewing is a lie and I am comfortable watching anything you need, please feel free.

[ She pauses. ] I have many unpleasant ones as well, though as I said, many of them have been watched.

[ She bites the inside of her cheek. ]

Not all of them, however.

[counterfaith]

. . . How about an exchange, then. . . ?

[assent]

I can agree to that, yes. Would you prefer to go first, or shall I?

[counterfaith]

[ with a little shrug ] If you'd like to go first, please go ahead.

[assent]

[ "Like to" isn't exactly the word for it, but she'll hand him the tablet after saying that.

The thumbnail at the top is changed to one that looks like a dark room with the door open, but it's hard to see anything else just yet. ]

Feel free to start when you are ready.

[counterfaith]

[ wellll time to strap in for this then

pressing play on the thumbnail, after a moment ]

( cw: torture )

[assent]

[ Sonia can't bring herself to watch, so she ends up looking ahead, watching the wall instead.

The video starts with the door being the focus before the video seems to pan towards Sonia as she walks forward. She's dressed in a long white gown that could almost look like bridal wear if you weren't aware that she was royalty. Her tiara is in her hair, which is up in a ponytail. Her eyes are red, however, which is completely different to normal and she looks slightly older than she does now which is ?? confusing.

The focus is on a cart behind her and he'll hear Junko's voice talking to Sonia asking what she brought with her.

The room is dark, yes, but it's enough to see as two bodies are pulled off the cart and onto the floor. Their eyes are blindfolded and mouths are gagged but the woman seems to have light hair, the man a little darker.

There's a muffled exchange of words, but then the video fastforwards.

The next scene is a lot more horrific. The woman is still blindfolded and tied up, but she's strapped to a bed now and is being tortured with numerous implements. She's cut. Her nails are yanked off. Bones broken.

Junko is a pretty crazy lady... and Sonia--this Sonia--is just as bad in that she seems to be flushed and enjoying this hot mess.

Thankfully, the video cuts off before it gets much worse. ]

Re: ( cw: torture )

[ he's watching it without a single blink, though - his eyes are half-lidded, gold irises bled dry of the warm light in them. he's quiet, expression unchanging - at the end, he's looking up to sonia, gently offering the tablet back to her. ] . . . You were right. This is quite a nightmare.

[assent]

[ She still isn't looking at him directly, but she will take the tablet with a quiet hum for a moment. ]

Perhaps even moreso when you realise those were my parents.

[ Which is, in a way, even more ridiculous given the fact that Yusuke encouraged her to overthrow them but he. Probably. Did not mean like this. ]

[counterfaith]

[ carefully leaning back on the beanbag, watching her ] I see. . . And, you have no memory of this?

[assent]

[ She pulls her tablet up against herself. ]

In my current state, I do not, no.

[counterfaith]

[ closing his eyes ]

. . . I see.

My greatest condolences for your family, Miss Sonia.

[assent]

...Thank you. [ Though it feels weird to say that when... you're the reason they're in that state. ]

[counterfaith]

[ it does, a little bit ]

. . . Are they alive? Do you know?
