[Mammon is in his room, finally, just laying back on the bed. He's exhausted. Lucifer and Satan still haven't shown up. If this is a prank, this is a...very long one. Maybe he got stuck on Earth? All these random humans would seem to suggest that.]
[Whenever Brilith enters, he just looks over, pushing himself up to a seating position with a wave of his hand.]
Definitely real small. They couldn't even give us separate rooms, huh...
[He shakes his head.]
That his name? I've been callin' him "Headache". He just was like, SUPER creepy and was like "don't date that lady!! she's mine!!" like some TOTAL WEIRDO.
[A beat.]
D'ya need me to like, beat him up or something for ya? That guy smells like bad news.
[ WELL, i don’t know about mammon, but brilith is currently blind as a bat! she’s been walking into doors and things everywhere she goes, it’s great. eventually she just accepts this fate and resigns herself to staying in the room for now, but when the door opens, she perks up a little. ]
[ do you ever have a bad day that just keeps getting worse even when it seems like it shouldn't be able to? that's how today has gone, for sure, so brilith is relieved to make it back to the quiet of the joom. when the door opens, she's curled up on the chaise she claimed last week, hugging her knees to her chest. ]
Mammon? You got back alright?
[ she's a little embarrassed to admit she fled the ballroom immediately but it's already happened, so. ]
[He's tired. He's usually super energetic and everything, but watching that whole boat of chaos go down was even too much for him to handle. He wanders in slowly, trying to make sure he doesn't trip on air, and feels for the edge of the bed.]
Man, I don't even know if all what just happened really happened. Like, it feels too crazy to be real, y'know?
[He flops back on the bed with a loud groan, wiping at his face. Ugh. He's tired. So tired.]
Sura? [Not a word he knows, but whatever.] And well, humans can be violent like that. Pretty sure she had some kind of disease, though...the way she was hissin' just ain't right.
They're... one of the three races. They have no concern for the lives of anyone else, only their own. A few years ago, they destroyed much of my city and killed so many people just to get to one person.
[ her voice is strangely detached as she explains. ]
No human I know could be that careless. [ something tugs at the back of her mind as she says that, making her wince, but it's gone just as quickly as it came. ] Babo Kim did say that Haruka may have been ill. If Nikki is sick and passed it on, we should try to see if there's something we can do for her... or at least to prevent it from spreading further.
[ when brilith gets back to the room she just quietly closes the door behind her and leans back against it, slowly sliding down to the floor and letting out a muffled scream into her hands. ]
[ mammon is a good demon who doesn't deserve this. but by the time she's returned, brilith is just... angry. angry and upset, and her voice is hoarse. ]
How can I, when he'll be killed tomorrow for nothing?
[Human death...doesn't mean a lot to demons. People die all the time. Demons live for years and years and years. They prey on humans. Feed on them, sometimes literally. Maybe if he had come here several months ago, he'd be more callous. What does a human life, matter, anyways...?]
[But now...]
It was the actual killer that did this. Distracted us, I think. Like, if we had caught the actual guy... [But nothing went right, horse murder and all...] I don't know. It's...it's just a mess.
[ she has no direction. there's no way someone is just... going to walk around with scales on them, eating the body parts of anyone who gets in their way. but she promised asch she'd try, and she refuses to give up on that. ]
Maybe they did distract us, but we have to find out how. We have to find them so they can't do this again. Otherwise Asch will die for nothing.
[He gesture for her to follow him in the room. Once she does so, he moves to the table, pointing down at it.]
[There's a fan on it. (As in, the type of fan that NHS carries around.) The quality is maybe not as good as it can be, since the illustration on it is made with kids' paint, but it's still clearly done by someone who knew what they were doing. The illustration depicts dawn breaking through the night.]
[ vague, perhaps, but shebhas a few ideas who that could mean. she picks up the fan to inspect the art a little closer. kid's paint or not, the illustration brings a small smile to her face. ]

DAY 1 - ROOMMATE TIME
[Mammon is in his room, finally, just laying back on the bed. He's exhausted. Lucifer and Satan still haven't shown up. If this is a prank, this is a...very long one. Maybe he got stuck on Earth? All these random humans would seem to suggest that.]
[Whenever Brilith enters, he just looks over, pushing himself up to a seating position with a wave of his hand.]
Oh. Hey. You, uh...Brilith? Or Missile?
no subject
Brilith. So you are... Mammon, right?
[ funny how, after trying to find him for a while, he's waiting right here. just her luck. ]
no subject
[Usually he would boast about being THE GREAT MAMMON but he's too tired...]
By the way, before I forget, some weirdo was askin' about you earlier.
no subject
[ she was expecting a whole suite, not just... a room. how do they expect three people to share one bed?
the smile fades. ]
I see. Babo Kim, was it? What did he want?
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
That his name? I've been callin' him "Headache". He just was like, SUPER creepy and was like "don't date that lady!! she's mine!!" like some TOTAL WEIRDO.
[A beat.]

week 0, monday
Mammon? That’s you, right?
[ who else would it be ]
no subject
[He's just sitting on the bed, staring at...the wall. Already, not a great sign.]
Yeah, it's me! Who would it be, huh?
no subject
It’s me, Brilith. A few others have wandered into the room already, so I wanted to be sure…
Anyway, I had something to ask you. But first - are you alright? It seems like we’ve all lost… something. For me, it's eyesight. What about you?
no subject
[And oh boy. Ohhh boy. He's silent for a moment, before he speaks up slowly, like he's just realized something.]
...Wait a sec. So this blurry vision...it ain't 'cause I bumped my head when I was sleeping...?

no subject
[ she sets her chin on her knees, frowning. ]
It's true that none of us really know each other, but it's hard to believe that someone could kill another so easily. Only sura are like that.
[ brilith doesn't even want to TOUCH the rat stuff ]

saturday, post-trial
no subject
[That's...a reaction. Mammon gets off the bed where he was sitting, and goes over to her, moving to squat down in front of her. Oh boy. Oh no.]
H-Hey, Brilith....calm down...
no subject
How can I, when he'll be killed tomorrow for nothing?

Week 2, Wednesday Afternoon
Hey. I need to show ya somethin'. Got a minute?
no subject
Of course. What is it?
no subject
[There's a fan on it. (As in, the type of fan that NHS carries around.) The quality is maybe not as good as it can be, since the illustration on it is made with kids' paint, but it's still clearly done by someone who knew what they were doing.

A certain someone left this for you.
no subject
[ vague, perhaps, but shebhas a few ideas who that could mean. she picks up the fan to inspect the art a little closer. kid's paint or not, the illustration brings a small smile to her face. ]
Who was it? It's lovely.
[ but why not just give to her themselves? ]
no subject
[He looks a little surprised.]
It's a guy who knows you real well...
