[ Someone is softly cursing under his breath, albeit somewhat mild, as they flit around the outskirts of the cemetery and parts of their camp village. He's just doing a check-in real quick. ]
Okay, hit me with it. What do you have bouncing in your mind?
[Erin is not one to have optimism, really, mostly because she doesn't believe neither on that nor on pessimism. Still, no harm in asking Daan for his view of things]
Felt like something was going wrong, though. Didn't those horsemen say something like that?
[Hmmmmmm...]
But if you're right, the plan was to keep adding more and more people going berzerk until they were too much to handle. Only one person would be left at the end -- supposing nothing else happens.
[Which invites to some interesting theorizing, really...]
Anyone who survives this alone can't end having a happy ending, that's for sure. For all we know the sacrificing are the invitation and the last one remaining is the vessel for something foul.
[ Too many moving pieces, too many talking mouths. He needs to hear from them more directly. But she says only one person and it's like the atmosphere around him shifts for the worse. Once more, the black words AGAIN crawl around him like snakes, multiplying, like looking in a pit of spiders. ]
Oh, I get it. Marina said something like that once too. Pretty messed up they brought a few of you for a second try at trauma.
[Her deepest sympathies, that's for sure.
Erin doesn't know Daan and Marina come from the same place. That little tidbit is still unknown. Although Marina confided in Erin some details, she never mentioned Daan was there too, yup]
Don't go having your ink flipping out, but-- [Erin forces herself to softer her voice] --did you survive your last time?
[Feels weird to be asking that question. She asked the same thing to Marina, and did so more nonchalantly in that case because it's Marina and she felt this could be talked easily with her. With Daan, though, it's different. That strong reaction he had makes her think he's pretty jumpy and therefore needs to be treated somewhat more gentle when it comes to past experiences -- especially those that involve, you know, having freaking died]

W0, sunday
Ms. Winters, are you alright?

[Erin can admit that right after the trial she was doing pretty badly]
no subject
[ The bar is low. ]
...I think I'm seeing a better picture of how exactly our stay here might resolve.

I'm seeing now that that's probably not the case. The "ritual" in of itself might be for us to make blood sacrifices of each other instead.

...
No, it can't be.
[ A happy ending -- he agrees. ]

[Your inky reactions say it all, Daan]
no subject
...It's just all... too similar.

Marina and I could definitely do without a "second try", as you lightly put it, yeah.

...I didn't die, no. At least, as far as I'm aware or know anyway...
no subject
...guess in the end that doesn't change you're standing here. My bad, pointless question.
no subject
I don't believe I died, but given the... everything. I just would not be surprised if that's where I am in the current.
[ He's rather blase about the idea, somehow, despite everything. ]
