[ sorry if this is the most basic of starters, but sometimes you go to bed in one room with one roommate but when you wake up you find yourself in another room with a new roommate and it's unfortunately not as jarring as you'd think it would be. or, at least with izumo, when she wakes up and sees something completely different it really comes to no surprise to her.
she'll still be lying in "bed" as she just sighs loudly into the room. ]
Looks like it will be a weekly occurrence if this is anything to show.
Expecting to wake up in a capsule hotel and being in a hammock?
...
lol
Hikaru stirs awake on hearing a voice that is not Raven, and immediately squawks in alarm as her weight tips and her hammock promptly dumps her onto the ground, along with her unfortunate collection of plushies.]
[ well the fact that she doesn't here a loud smack or a thud that would indicate something more severe, izumo just continues to lie on her hammock trying to get used to the new ceiling. the voice is that of a girl, at least? ]
M-mmn... y-yeah, I think so. [She rubs at her head as she pushes up to her knees, unable to see the other person but hearing her voice just fine.] Did they really change our rooms again?
[Cause that is definitely not Raven up in that hammock.
Right?
...
Maybe she better make sure?????
Sorry, Izumo, someone's peeking her head over the edge of your hammock because she is really, really short.
[ she'll look over at hikaru as she peeks at her but doesn't do much moving. ]
Did you really doubt that from my voice?
[ did raven have some ability to change his voice to sound like girl?? men could have a range in their voice but she doubted him being able to do something like this. ]
So, roommates for the week. If it looks this drastically different then I can only imagine what it looks like to the north.
Only a little. [She doesn't seem fazed by the comment, content to move away with just a mild flicker of disappointment and tired regret when she's still close enough.
That regret escalates to full on guilt for a brief moment at the topic change.]
You mean where the space station was, right?
...
Do you think there's gonna be boats, or something? Or maybe a beach? That's where people like to use these kinds of things, right?
[She is going to work on throwing her bedding and all her discarded plushies back onto her hammock. Big dog, a fish with plastic pieces pinned onto it, and a little plushie of a blond dude with a green cape and a weird headband.]
Probably. [ she replies lazily. ] It looks like we're in a boat right now, doesn't it? I couldn't make head's or tails of last week, but this is pretty easy.
[ there's a carefree and listless feeling that lingers around izumo. she should get up and out of her hammock but she just. doesn't feel like it. maybe in a bit. ]
[It's unfamiliar, to have such a laid-back feeling resonate.]
Mmn... Maybe. Last week reminded me of something, but I... I don't really remember what it was. Definitely not spaceships, though.
[She'll blow her bangs out of her face as she hops back into her hammock, sitting in it backwards to be opposite her roommate.]
You're... Izumo-chan, right? [It's sincere and curious, genuinely delighted, and there's a twinge of something sad when she recognizes the face as the girl who looked so broken at the execution.] We haven't gotten to meet yet, I don't think.
[She saw that reaction once Shima had been announced, had watched Izumo grow aggressive, then freeze, then run. She still doesn't feel she knows the other girl well enough to approach her, to see if she truly is okay. But she knows that, maybe, they can gently try to talk if Izumo ever retreats back to the bedroom.
Hikaru's carefully changed from her stupid pirate outfit, carding her hands through her hair whenever Izumo walks back in, motions growing still and keeping her voice quiet.]
[ it will be A While before izumo comes back to their room and even then she won't look that much better than she when the announcement came through. her voice will be despondent and hollow as she responds. she had been furious when the announcement came and she certainly took her sweet time coming back here but it hadn't done much good.
It's been a long enough week that even oblivious Hikaru knows to not get too close - not when both of their emotions are probably fried in completely different ways.]
Hey, I... I'm here to talk if you need somebody, you know...?
[ she stalls for a moment as she tries to think of a response. izumo has no real intention opening up to hikaru because of the difference between them. oh, and because what she learned she did to kano doesn't help.
eventually, though, she says something. ]
No, sometimes it isn't okay.
[ firmly. tired. ]
Sometimes when it hurts for too long, you just get tired of it all.
[ she can see that hikaru is trying. there have been many who have tried and... sometimes those words are just not what you want to hear. doubly so when it's from someone who she wasn't thrilled to learn certain information from either. trial was no time for it and honestly right now isn't time for either.
izumo has ever intention of just leaving after she gets a few things. ]
It's nothing I'm not used to.
[ ...it's all very blase, frankly. ]
And don't talk to me as though you know what I'm going through.
[ the mention of kano's name irks her. she had been good at leave things be—ignoring it. forcing herself to move past it because it does her no good but... ]
Yeah, and what would you do with all of this? Cry for me? Tell me it gets better?
[ sometimes nerves don't need to touched when they've exposed already too long to the open air. ]
If I remember right, you're the one who was responsible for why he was acting so funny—because you thought it was fine to change him.
Did...someone tell her? Did she figure it out, somehow? Either way, the guilt that immediately rushes off Hikaru will be enough for Izumo to know she is correct, at least about something.]
I...
I didn't think it was fine, I... I didn't mean to change him to do anything!
[ izumo has two brain cells and she knows how to use them even when i don't. ]
But you did and he hated every moment of it. Also because of that, he acted suspiciously and took the place of the person who should have been caught.
[ she's not blaming hikaru on implicating kano, but she's not going to take it back if that's what hikaru's take-away is from her claim. ]
You have the nerve to feel guilty about it. [ her voice complete steady even if there's a forced calmness to it. the disdain and utter disgust for hikaru in every inch of her being. ] You're the worse kind of person.
[That guilt twists to dread, like a hammer striking a nail, over and over, a sickening and sour shock in her limbs.]
Of course I feel guilty! Shuuya-kun told me himself how much he hated it, and I... I wouldn't have ever done it if I knew what it was going to actually do to him! I trusted him...!
I-I was just trying to help--!! I swear I never.... I never meant for it to hurt him so badly, or to--
[To make him look guilty. To be part of the reason he was dead. But the words twist in her mouth with a ferocious shake of her head, taking a step away from Izumo, her fists clenched.]
He couldn't even tell me how much he hated me at the end, and I... I couldn't fix it, and I couldn't apologize...
So what else am I supposed to do, other than know it was my fault?? How else am I supposed to remember the mistake I made???
[ she. really isn't having any of hikaru's pleas or cries. they're reaching deaf ears as izumo knows exactly what she's been through as she tried to defend and speak for kano. funny, she suspects that no one has been harsh to hikaru about it.
it's so funny and it makes her sick. ]
Enjoy the blood of an innocent on your hands.
[ and cue izumo leaving center stage because she can't stand to be in the room with her anymore. whatever she wanted to grab has been completely forgotten.( idk how she's gonna slap her nik..... ) ]
[ she was so ready to just leave. so ready to leave it all behind her—another terrible memory that has been carved deep inside of her. however, that's not what happens when hikaru reaches her. the shock immediately causes to jerk back and slap her hand away but the fact that hikaru is so insistent irritates her.
clingy.
her hand was already sore and tender from how much she had hit shima earlier but in a shift motion she does two things: slap hikaru across the face and then proceeds to shove her away back into the room. ]
Don't. [ she shakes her hand after being shocked, yet again, but her demeanor remains harsh. ] I want nothing to do with you.
[ and officially cue izumo leaving the room. she won't be back tonight and they won't have to worry about being roommates. ]

I'm Hikaru. Shidou Hikaru.
WEEK TWO - SATURDAY - POST-TRIAL
Hikaru's carefully changed from her stupid pirate outfit, carding her hands through her hair whenever Izumo walks back in, motions growing still and keeping her voice quiet.]
Izumo-chan...
Do you need some space? I can go....
no subject
well. sometimes things are just something. ]
No, you can stay. I'll end up going.
no subject
[She... was that upset about Shima, huh?
...
It's been a long enough week that even oblivious Hikaru knows to not get too close - not when both of their emotions are probably fried in completely different ways.]
Hey, I... I'm here to talk if you need somebody, you know...?
It's okay to be hurting, Izumo-chan...
no subject

No, sometimes it isn't okay.
[ firmly. tired. ]

...Mmn. After a while... your heart can only take so much hurt. It... starts being hard to do anything but want it to stop.

no subject
I don't, but...
That... that doesn't change that you've still been hurting, you know? Now, and last week with Shuuya-kun...
I can't just guess how you're feeling, but it's not something that needs to be on your own.

Yeah, and what would you do with all of this? Cry for me? Tell me it gets better?
