Day 5

|Castle Oress - Pool|
AND THEN DBA WAS SUDDENLY A CUTE LITTLE FISHIE
Except he was near the edge of the pool.
FLOP FISHIE, FLOP~
|The Mall|
Relieved that Vers wasn't rushing back, Cel got back on track.
"Well, let's see...I guess we could---"
"A-ha, there you are!"
Cel whirled around to see Tzila standing only a yard or two away. That lovably nonchalant pyro-murderer had her hands on her hips and her grin wide, apparently pretty satisfied with finding Durnam again. Except, you know, Vers wasn't Durnam.
"Huh...you look a little different, but you can't fool me! You're that same jerk from yesterday! I knew we'd meet again!"
And then Cel was like "wut".
|Doll Shop > ???|
Verity nodded.
"Then consider it arranged. They need evidence that you're actually my enemy. But don't just cut me or something. It has to be absolutely undeniable that you did it to me." she explained, deciding to question his whole double-self situation another day.
|Umbra's Mansion|
Halyn decided to get serious, considering the fact that she kind of liked a lot of people in this mansion. She folded her arms and bit her lip, wondering briefly what a proper response would be. She was about to comment on the whole Ara thing (no one else knows about the whole Jesus Loli thing, after all), but decided that Julias correctly assumed that she didn't have any way to defend herself like the others did.
"Damn, he sure has a lot of enemies hanging around here. Either way, don't expect me to stay out of this completely...I'm not fond of making enemies, but you're still my responsibility whether my contract states it or not! No one hurts my precious little Julie and gets away with it~ âĨ"
I mean, who else is she going to creep on, right?
On a totally unrelated note, Umbra is apparently one damn heavy sleeper.

"Well, that sounds kind of inconvenient. If it's just going to dangerously blow up when you stab someone with it, then what do you use it for?" Seraye asked, because
Meanwhile, Fray felt totally D: about the knife now, but she remained silent both physically and mentally for a while. A while being the key word, here.
"D-Does it, uh...h-have anything to do with this knife?"
Meanwhile part two, Dicro was apparently pretty eager to get this over with from the way those chains were driving themselves into those boxes. It almost seemed like he knew exactly where Fellmund was, given how he started as far away from him as possible (which sort of contradicts the 'wanting to get this over with' part, but okay). By now, those chains were getting worryingly close, and chains + self = sadface.

Once Flare arrived at the Mansion, she'd find that everything was conveniently unlocked. That's almost suspiciously convenient...
Well, never look a gift horse in the mouth, yeah? The main room was totally empty with the exception of Lun asleep behind the couch (how long has he been there? ā˛ _ā˛ ) and maybe the faint sounds of life elsewhere in the mansion.
Exciting post is exciting.
|There|
The silence was even longer this time, but Opine eventually decided to speak up.
"That is correct. And it is because of that world that I created the Test Reality - it is because of that world that I am the person I am." she said, seeming to be intentionally avoiding the subject of this other world.
|Court of Ten-Thousand Hearts|
"I don't mind it! But...how can she become someone other than herself? Is that even possible?" Mariol asked, tilting her head to the side.
Nika was about to jump back, but the pain in her thigh suddenly became obvious. After cringing, she ripped the dagger out of her thigh and, despite her angry mumblings, silently thanked Tested anatomy for not having especially-dangerous stab zones. Kind of got an important artery right up in your thigh and all. Instead of rushing to stab Amethyst again, Nika took a moment to catch her breath...although, admittedly, she was mainly giving her wound a chance to heal.
"Well," she smiled, "I suppose I've learned that I'm a pain in the ass."
DAMMIT NIKA, LESS TALKING AND MORE STABBING. STABBING IS, LIKE, YOUR ONLY PURPOSE.
|The Park|
"Whoa, whoa, we're not that kind of threesome! Not unless I'm getting paid, anyways..." Larya explained, a little bit of a blush evident on her face, as well. She was quickly distracted by Preston's behavior...was that, like, respect? She could get used to this!
"What? Me? The name's Larya Tayl, and the Thieving Threesome is the best alliance of all time! It started with just me and Sparkle Rat over here, but then we added Magic Man...he turned into a doll and got kidnapped by an almighty little girl and we haven't seen him since, though." Larya shrugged. She paused for a moment, then began stroking her chin as if she had an awesome wiseman beard.
"Say, you guys wouldn't happen to have anything valuable on you, would you?"
it's always a good thing to ask for money after telling people that you're a thief
