week 3; friday

[selfimmolates]

['sup, nonon. this is probably unexpected, given that they don't usually chat, but ray's here to say something—]

I need to talk to you about something in the study.

[symphonise]

[ Yeah, it does take her by surprise, but okay. Nonon nods easily enough. She's got a good enough read of Ray's character that this probably won't be for nothing. ]

All right. Let's go.

[selfimmolates]

[thanks for not putting up a fuss, nonon! off they head to the study.

once they're there, ray speaks.]

So, are you Strung Red? You seemed pretty amused by Catra and Rachel's plight—oh, Justice's given a temporary pardon for any reveals that occur in this room, so you don't need to worry about breaking the rules.

[symphonise]

[ Nonon has an air of effected nonchalance, but the look in her eyes go sharp. ]

I would've been amused by anyone's plight. [ She's a tad bit sadistic. ] Why do you want to know?

[ She's not going to say yes or no without knowing the reason behind the question. The fuss is delayed, sorry. ]

[selfimmolates]

[...]

I already know you're aligned with Love. She confirmed it for me—since I'm also one of her followers.

week 3; saturday

[selfimmolates]

[wherever nonon is, ray approaches her, his expression blank. and then—]

Did you kill Fortune?

[apparently getting right to it]

[symphonise]

[ She wasn't that tired at the end of the trial because that was so stressful, but Ray's question immediately makes her tired.

She looks offended. ]

No. I thought she was cute.

[ As if that's a good defense. ]

[selfimmolates]

... That's your defence?

[symphonise]

[ She puts her hands on her hips. ]

I don't murder for sport like it seems like today's culprit did.

[selfimmolates]

Technically speaking, you could consider it a pragmatic move made in the same of victory.

... Though not a great one, since it's been established today that Love will be a popular target for votes.

week 4; monday

[selfimmolates]

[hello again, nonon!]

So, what are the chances that you did, in fact, have some fun with your ability last week?

[maybe one day ray will approach her without an ominous question/comment.]

[symphonise]

[ Nonon looks down at the parchment that has their new rules on them. She looks up at him, looks back down, looks back up.

Is being annoyed the same as being hurt? (No.) ]

Hi, cutie. ♥ Why are you asking this?

[ every time, ray comes up to her with a question like this, she will call him cute or a synonym thereof that many more times. ]

[selfimmolates]

[he twitches but valiantly ignores it.]

Lightning was the remaining Love follower, and Love herself confirmed that she never used her ability.

I could come up with a bunch of possible explanations about Zoe and Connor's situation, but Occam's Razor says that the most likely one is that you might've been a little dishonest.

[he holds up a hand.]

If it was you, I'm not mad or anything, for the record... though I can't speak as to how Zoe might feel. But I'd prefer it if we were on the same page.

[symphonise]

[ That's... Hmm. ]

It wasn't me. I've only used it once, and it was to get my trumpet. After the first high body count, I've decided to save it in case I'm targeted.

[ She's a petty bitch and will bring down anyone who tries to take her down. ]

So I'll write the page for you. I won't be using my ability until Friday rolls around, if I'm still alive.

[selfimmolates]

[he smiles wryly.]

I'll give you points for style.

[...]

All right, I'll believe that. [he believes nonon would be a petty bitch?] So that leaves the possibilities of Sieg lying, or Zoe lying about being Strung Red to begin with, for some bizarre reason—and, by association, Connor who told me the same. Or some other power that somehow duplicated the effects of Strung Red...?

[ugh, nonon lying was the simplest possibility??]

week 4; tuesday

[selfimmolates]

[maybe one day ray will approach nonon to have a nice chat!!! you just don't know!!!!

... but yeah, that's not today.]

You haven't used Strung Red yet this week, right?

[if she's saving it for murder night.]

[symphonise]

[ didn't you believe that she was a petty bitch, ray!! what happened to that!!!

She puts her hands on her hips. ]

No. Why? Have you used whatever your new ability is this week?

[selfimmolates]

[HE BELIEVES IT, HE JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM.

he sighs.]

I thought so. [he shakes his head.] No. Anyway, someone got Strung Red this week. I think I know what might be going on, but there's one last thing I need to check before I'm sure.

[symphonise]

[ She raises her eyebrows. ]

Will you tell me what's going on when you find out, or are you going to keep randomly asking me contentious questions everyday this week?

[selfimmolates]

It depends on what other people want to keep secret.

But it's possibly going to keep happening, yeah.

week four; saturday

[symphonise]

[ Nonon looks a lot less bright than she usually does, a lot less confidence to her step. Whenever she runs into Ray, she's hesitant. ]

... You did a great job today. [ You know, for everything that did and didn't get done. ] I don't know how good I'll be at discussing anything now, but... [ She takes a shaky breath. ] Thanks.

[selfimmolates]

[...]

You okay? You don't look so good right now.

[symphonise]

[ She isn't okay. She really, really isn't because she feels like an idiot twice over. Everyone's pointed out again and again she isn't thinking or arguing right or whatever, and then Newt happened, and she isn't okay.

She shrugs lightly, a weak and feeble gesture instead of her usual flippant. ]

I'll be okay eventually.

[selfimmolates]

I, for one, cannot wait until Monday when all these curses wear off.

... But you were friends with Newt, I take it.

[symphonise]

I... related to him. With music, and... how his world was being taken over by aliens. It was weird how similar things were. I should've known better.

[ She looks down at her hands, as if they would've told her the answers. ]
