W0, SUNDAY

[foreverphantom]

[ he is at the vending machines, holding one of the little containers of mashed potatoes and poking at it gingerly with a plastic fork. He looks...suspicious of it. ]

Who even puts mashed potatoes in a vending machine in the first place...

[eleisoned]

There's probably a group that makes them fresh and restocks them every day. But it is an odd choice for a vending machine food.

[foreverphantom]

They better be restocking them every day, or this is a lot grosser than I thought.

[ and the gloopiness of the potatoes is already....a little gross ]

[eleisoned]

They'd get sued into oblivion if they were leaving them out. That's a health hazard!

[foreverphantom]

I think if we can get kidnapped without consequences, then old mashed potatoes can be kept in the vending machines without consequences too.

[eleisoned]

Who's running this city?!

[foreverphantom]

Who knows. Maybe they're the one who kidnapped us in the first place.

[eleisoned]

I don't know... Gold Mouse said there's a mayor, but they sound incompetent, so I have a hard time thinking it was them. It sounded more like it was the doing of one of these "villains" or something.

[foreverphantom]

Why would a villain bring 40-something people in for a hero competition all about fighting villains?

Just because someone's incompetent doesn't mean they can't do some serious damage.

w0, monday

[ okay well BECAUSE THE FOUNTAIN IS GONE, i fucking GUESS that danny is at the arcade now!!! and instead of dropping quarters into the fountain, he's just shoving quarters into every free machine he passes by.

He's not playing any of them. He's just. doing a constant loop around the arcade feeding the machines money. ]

[eleisoned]

[ she just observes this for a while???? before eventually: ]

What are you doing?

[foreverphantom]

Just trying to see if I'll ever run out of money. I'm pretty sure I've already spent at least twice as much as I came here with in my pockets. Maybe I'll catch it at the moment it refills.

[eleisoned]

Woah, infinite money...! I didn't think about it, but now that you mention it!

[foreverphantom]

...are you thinking of seeing if your money magically replenishes too?

[eleisoned]

Huh? No?! Maybe! Yeah!

[foreverphantom]

[ raises an eyebrow. and then steps back from the arcade floor, one arm gesturing her towards it like "go ahead." ]

[eleisoned]

[ she also just starts feeding coins into the machines, bouncing from one to the next. seems to forget what she's doing this for, though. just enjoys the routine. i guess. ]

w0 saturday

[foreverphantom]

[ well. danny is here now, visiting her in the jail. he doesn't talk for a moment, just trying to gauge how she is now that trial is over and she's not surrounded by literally everyone. ]

...hey.

[eleisoned]

[ welcome to jail. she is handcuffed and looks just kind of. calm. ]

Hello.

[foreverphantom]

...have you gotten to eat yet? We've been in there all day, and then you just got dragged over here...

[eleisoned]

[ oh. she shakes her head. ]

Now that you mention it, we did have to go all day without eating. That's no fair!

[foreverphantom]

...do you want anything? I can go grab some food for both of us real quick.

[eleisoned]

Oh, um... I don't think it really matters, honestly?

[ she's getting executed in the morning so. what's a night on an empty stomach? ]

[foreverphantom]

...if you're sure.

...you know, for someone who didn't think you actually killed him, you sure did talk a lot like you did it on purpose.

[eleisoned]

... It's... easier that way.
