[ SHOCKINGLY, papika is having difficulty going to sleep after the events of the trial. perhaps she had too much pizza and now has an upset stomach? maybe she is traumatized for life after the cannibal reveal? who knows.
either way, she's going to quietly leave her room. she's not entirely sure what she's looking for, but she still ends up poking her head into every one of the hotel's common rooms until she reaches the lounge. spotting percy inside, she realizes that it wasn't a what, but a who.
somewhat shyly, papika walks over to where he's sitting. ]
Hi Percy.

Hi Percy.

Hey. You're up pretty late, aren't you?
no subject
Am I? I'm not keeping track. [ of the time.
she's also just going to sit down without asking if he minds because she is still trying to conquer the concept of manners, sorry. ]
Have you been out here for long?
no subject
I don't know. I'm not keeping track either. [A lopsided smile.] Most of the days start to bleed into each other after a while. You know you can expect certain things on certain days, but the hours are trickier.
no subject
It was easier in the beginning. [ more people to occupy your time with, less... everything, really. speaking of time though, ]
This isn't going to last much longer, is it?
no subject
No, it's not. I wish I knew how this was going to end, but I'm not sure myself. [He looks down at her.] Are you worried?
no subject
[ although it'd be hard to top cannibalism, at least, so there's that. ]
no subject
Papika...there's a group of us that're working together so that all of us keep each other safe and that if someone has to win, it'll be someone who gets us a good win. With everyone left, almost everyone wants to protect each other don't they?
no subject
Yeah. I think so. [ ... ] Who's the group?
no subject
no subject
[ she sounds insulted that he would even ask that. ]
no subject
Sorry, I'm so used to asking that. ...you know how Damian's the Bounty Leader? We found the rest of the Bounties. And...Natalie and Shinnosuke were helping us. So's Jason. The other two are Milla and Noctis.
You can trust these people.
no subject
Do you guys have any ideas then?
no subject
Did Damian tell you about the train, Papika?
no subject
No. I haven't really been told much, you guys like to baby me.
no subject
It's not about babying you, Papika. It's about keeping you safe because...I mean, Dr. Lecter and Will are crazy. Will knew everything about this game, and we figured the less people who had information, the safer they'd be.
[He frowns.] The train is where all of our friends are. When we die, we show up there. That's why some of us are getting letters and stuff. Xion told me once. Milla did, too.
no subject
[ she doesn't anything after that for a good few seconds. when she does talk again, it's to tackle the other topic. ]
That explains why more shadows kept appearing.
no subject
But you're right. That's why more shadows kept appearing. All of our friends are hanging out in there waiting for us. We just have to figure out a way to be with them again. That's what we're working on now.
no subject
also wtf everyone else just hanging out in a train sounds so much better than sitting in whole ass? unfair?? ]
I'm sure you'll figure something out. You're very smart, Percy. And so is everyone else, but... if anyone can think of something, I think you can.
no subject
Let me ask you something else. What would you want in the end?
no subject
I just want everyone to be able to go back home. Whatever home is for them. [ ... ] Asking for something like this to never happen again is probably not possible, huh?
no subject
I think that's what I want, too. There are a lot of people here that home probably isn't an option for them anyway. After everything, we should have the choice. [But there's a shrug.] I don't know. What would hurt in asking though? I've asked for bigger things at home before and that worked out weirdly well.
We'd have to be careful how we ask, I think. Wording is everything.
no subject
[ since... true, she wouldn't put it past hal or his employers to screw them over just because they phrase their request in a certain way. and papika is fairly aware of the power words have. ]
no subject
no subject
[ and she's not sure how else they could word it, anyway. ]
I need to go back home to Cocona.
no subject
Who's Cocona?
