DAY FIVE
![]() Complex Population: ??? It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. There's breakfast avaliable in the cafeteria if you want it, as well as meals from 11AM-12PM and 7PM-8PM, but otherwise? The day is yours. Take your time to explore the complex, relax, and enjoy each others' company, as who knows what the next day has in store? Though as you explore, you may notice that there's a new door unlocked and a new place for you to spend the day. Even better, it's two rooms! You'll find a dated computer lab, but at least you can play classics like Kid Pix and Ski Free. Connected to the lab is also a small movie theater, though the movie selection only goes up to 1940... Also, anyone taking a stroll by the fountain this morning may notice something odd about it. The water is red. This post is for the first day as defined in the schedule. This post is for general mingling and CR buidling, and will not include significant plot interaction. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard |

but after leo's foot has been Chopped™, dazai is going to step in right away, even abruptly pushing past alice if she happens to be in his way. as for the foot itself... it's probably still on the table?? it's just going to sit there and ooze blood for a while, unless someone else wants to take a look at it.
he wastes no time in fashioning a quick but effective tourniquet, first wrapping a few strips of of cloth above what remains of leo's ankle. once that's secure, he reaches for the fake plant branch that he'd picked up from the atrium a few days ago (because he wanted to try chewing on it, along with the fake plant leaves — don't ask why), wedging it firmly through the strips of cloth and twisting it to the side.
he then ties the stick in place with what's left of the cloth, but since he'd rather be safe than sorry, he tosses in a few of his own bandages at the end; because not only are they more useful, but they also look nicer than dark tailcoat cloth. now leo looks as if he has a proper injury, complete with bandages.
aaaand he's finally done!! ta-da... he's never worked this hard in 62 so far ]

all he could try and do was prevent Leo from wiggling and making this idiotic idea any worse. he was at his side, one arm pressed on his torso to keep his upper body still and the other pressing down on his thighs to ensure he didn't accidentally kick or twitch. Alice is doing as best as she can, it seems... it's yet to be determined how good that might actually be.
the screams cease, Leo is knocked out and Dazai goes to work in playing damage control. it's rather admirable how quickly he is able to at least prevent any further blood from being lost. he loosens his grip on the motionless body and steps back, taking a look at how bloody everything had gotten and just sighing. Bigby's eyes settle on the foot before he speaks. ]
I hope this was worth it. Kid's gonna regret the lifelong limp otherwise.

It's not like she really wanted to kill him, anyway.
She's clear of the table, and not a moment too soon - once she's a few feet away, she sneezes violently, and the chainsaw makes an arc through the air. Luckily, though, she's not near enough to anyone to do any damage, and she's quick to disengage the tool's motor and set it aside a moment later.
For the meantime, she doesn't make any effort to clean either the blade or her own clothing of the blood.]
He seemed really intent on getting rid of it, [she says quietly, glancing at the ankle monitor which is... attached to the detached foot, but no longer attached to the rest of Leo's leg.] when he came to talk to me. ...it'll be interesting to see if we can get anything out of this that we couldn't from one taken off of someone who's dead. And if he manages to wake up before curfew, he might be able to learn something about what goes on at night, right?
no subject
[ this was so not planned out. it's true that people (including him, the Fable with mysterious healing powers because of how ~popular~ he was) have gone through worse and lived, but Leo isn't a particularly big fellow and he doesn't have a lot of blood to lose. depending on how long he decides to stay knocked out, he would also need fluids to avoid dehydration. it was unneeded stress, but as Alice stated, they're hoping to see something out of this. ]
... We can't just drop him off at his apartment without knowing if his roommates can keep an eye on him. [ he gives Dazai a look for a moment. ] You aren't one of them, I'm guessing?
[ and then there's the matter of the foot. it felt... odd to pull it away from the body that was right next to it, so he will settle with just inspecting the ankle monitor further. ]
And did he say he knew what he wanted to do with this? [ THE MONITOR, NOT THE FOOT. the foot... well, it's p much done for. no stitching that back up after this was done. ] Are we leaving it around for when he wakes up, or...
no subject
[And honestly, it rankles that someone with so little power to change how things are run is in a position of power over the majority of them. But that's a topic for a time when one of their companions isn't sitting on a table with his foot having just been chopped off.]
He's in apartment four. [Which she remembers because he brought her there briefly to talk about this ill-conceived plan.] ...so that would mean... [She thinks back, straining to remember.] Adam and... Dojima?
[Her gaze wanders to the ankle monitor.]
...I think it's better if one of us holds onto it and gives it back to him when he wakes up. He can't keep an eye on it when he's like this.
no subject
[ so if anything, he can probably check in from time to time to see how leo's doing, hoping that adam and dojima won't... get too angry with them for bringing leo back with one less foot — especially at some suspicious time of the evening.
but now that leo's taken care of for the moment, all that's left is to figure out who the ankle monitor will go to, what to do with the foot itself, and to clean down the table?? are they really going to leave it covered in leo's blood and bone bits ]
As for his ankle monitor, though... I think you should hold onto it, Alice. After all, you're the one that wanted to chop his foot off in the first place, right?
no subject
[Man Alice doesn't care about the cleanup somebody else can take care of it... unless Bigby insists on them getting it all cleaned up before they go. Then she'll help.]
no subject
but since alice will go ahead and hold onto the foot, dazai takes what's left of leo's coat and starts wiping down what he can of the table, along with the surrounding area — because all of these blood splatters make it, you know, look as if someone died here, and leo's perfectly fine... kind of. ]
no subject
[They never actually discussed how it came about with him, but Leo did approach Alice first before they both sought Dazai out. She doesn't look at him, but it's easy to tell that she's smiling from the way her voice sounds when she slides the monitor off the stump of Leo's foot and steps away from it. Leaving the foot there to rot, app..arently.. someone please properly dispose of it.] So don't go spreading any lies, okay? ♡

cue Bigby finally whipping a cigarette out, thinking it was a deserving moment to get some much needed nicotine now that he found himself as a willing participant to dismembering someone. he listens to both Dazai and Alice, nodding at the fact that he wasn't Leo's roommate and finding a bit of relief in the fact that Dojima was at least there. he's nursing his own wounds, but he wasn't about to let a kid die under his watch.
further judging, on the other hand... well, that was inevitable. ]
Look. Uh, if he doesn't come around by the next time we all get together, we should probably make sure there's no misconceptions. So... like Alice said. No lies. Regardless of how bad of an idea this was. Agreed?
[ a puff of smoke rises towards the ceiling before he swoops his arms underneath Leo's, picking him up as carefully as he can. the foot will have to wait until he's dropped off. ]
I just hope we learn something that made this fucking worth it.
no subject
[ an amputated leg is actually pretty low on the list of severe injuries that he's patched up, even if those injuries were all his own. ]
But, you're right. Lying about what happened to him won't help us at all.
[ dazai gives him a nod, but with that said, how far does trust really go in a setting like this? but once he sees that bigby's gotten ahold of leo, he stops wiping the table for a moment, lifting his free hand to wave. ]
Don't drop him on your way back! If you do, that's all on you.
no subject
[He passed out a lot faster than she was expecting him to, but then again, she's used to drawing things out to try and make people suffer - she supposes it'll be a little different just by virtue of them trying to get it done fast, here.
Idly, she spins the ankle monitor around a finger as she watches Dazai stop wiping the table to wave to them and Bigby picking Leo up. The foot can be someone else's problems.]
We won't drop him, don't worry about that! ♡
[ONWARD TO LEO'S APARTMENT so he can get some well-deserved rest.]
