bookpapers | four

[ give her a second to open the door. four is perhaps in a better mood because she is no longer in hot pink inmate clothing. ]

Yes?

[sweet four, imagine i said lavi showed up in his hot pink outfit... no, he's in the last layer of his uniform, which is just a tank top and shorts + leggings, i hate dgm. he perks up when he sees her though, and gives a little wave]

Hey, I was just curious to see who's where.

I'm Lavi, by the way. Sorry I didn't introduce myself back then.

[ she would wonder what horrible outfit he wears at home, if he stuck to the hot pink.

she shakes her head. ]

We were all preoccupied by waking up in... hell. [ it's confirmed hell now. ] My name is Four.

How's your room? Your roommate's nice?

[surely, four doesn't have TWO roommates]

[ me in the middle of pcs getting a first impression of both...... ]

... You mean roommates. Plural.

[i want unlocks so bad]

...You got stuck with the split? [help, four...]

I wonder if they singled you out on purpose...

[demons...]

[ you have 8 weeks to go. ]

... It's fine. I'm not that selfish of a person. I can live... or die with it.

[ unfortunately, she doesn't look 100% fine with it. she's just a tiny bit uncomfortable. her eyes drift to the ground. ]

[she really said die.... Lavi leans in and lightly knocks on the door again, a purposeful distraction]

You're the type who stands by her decisions, huh? [he felt that with the crocs and he's feeling that now]

I think I might know what you're gonna say, but... lemme know if you want any advice or help. I can't promise I'll have a better idea than you, but maybe I can think of something.

[ well, they're dead! why can't she say die? ]

It's better to be decisive, isn't it? If I back down from what I say, that only makes me worse.

[ she gives him a small smile. ]

... it'll be okay. I'll be fine. Thank you, Lavi.

[THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD, DON'T DIE AGAIN FOUR

his eye crinkles a little as he smiles back,]

I believe you. Let's hang out whenever you need a break from the crowd though, yeah?

[ SHE DOESN'T KNOW THEY CAN DIE AGAIN YET. SHE HAS TO SEE SOMEONE DOUBLE DIE FIRST. ]

... Really?

[ his offer surprises her more than it should. ]

[okay as long as she just sees and not experiences,]

Sure. [amused,] But you don't gotta settle with me, if you've already got options.

[ she is going to experience death again. if four lives to endgame, it's wrong.

how does she answer this? ]

I don't think it's settling, whether it's you or anyone else.

[no she has to live... lavi thinks she's cute...]

So that's a yes, right?

[ lavi, please reconsider your opinion. ]

... I suppose so, yes.

[ it's a little shy. ]

[he just thinks she's more cute now!!!]

Great. Let's go exploring. You see the kitchen yet?

[all two floors of this dorms!!]

[ he should get better taste. ]

A little. I'm unfamiliar with most of the things in it.

[ she means the appliances. ]

Same here. It's all stuff that I'd see in the Science Division back home... And those things always explode.

[lavi: :)? is this microwave safe?]

Explode?

[ oh, her concern is rising exponential. ]

Is that something that can happen with the contraptions in the kitchen?

[lavi looks at a machine and just assumes it'll blow up one day]

Something that can heat up can definitely explode.

[ that's not wrong.... ]

Are we safe?

I think so. There was a sign saying not to put metal in it.

[not like that would stop anyone]

So there's gotta be someone here who knows the proper way to use it.

That must mean metal will make it explode.

[ her science knowledge is not on the level of modern convenience. ]

Likely anyone from a more futuristic time period knows what won't make it explode.

What time was it back in your world? Mine's 1870.

[curious... even though their worlds could be different and also the calendars, but still]

Subtract 800 years and a few decades.

[ she is so ye olde but the way the localization and yoko taro have introduced some anachronisms make everything so ??? ]
