[ooc; Want to contact Link? Here's how. Please put the exact time and day your character is contacting him in the subject line.]
[Week 4 and onwards: In-person visits to his room are now available. Depending on the schedule, he may be here.

Date: 2020-02-22 02:33 am (UTC)[Hiyori's past and present lack of gentleness. It's not something that sits well with him. He keeps standing.]
May I also ask, do you think any of them are about to submit because of you?
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 02:42 am (UTC)I don't know. I tried being nice, then firm, and now I'm not sure what to do. They seem to be fighting harder than ever. So many of their number are gone and they still think it's safer to fight than to be happy.

Date: 2020-02-22 02:49 am (UTC)There's no more trials left to serve as lessons. There's... there's nothing left in the schedule besides our leader taking the survivors by force at the final trial. Should we - should we just wait at this point?

Date: 2020-02-22 02:53 am (UTC)[He picks at the hat that he's stuck in his pocket.]
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 02:55 am (UTC)[Hiyori threads his fingers fiercely through his hair, plucking them in time with the ticking.]
What was the point...?
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 02:57 am (UTC)[Right?]
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 03:00 am (UTC)I wasn't directly ordered to push them away. Maybe... I'm the one who wasted time.

Date: 2020-02-22 03:04 am (UTC)[Hiyori just throws his arms out. This is apparently the part that hurts the most. He tries to draw himself back in, consciously drumming his fingers to the beat against his temples.]
It's - it's good for them to think you and I are different. Vita Clotilde-Morris awakening her hatred for me was definitely helped along by you making me look worse.

Date: 2020-02-22 03:46 am (UTC)It did take them a long time. I don't remember some of it. I remember it...
[No. Does he? He clutches his head, the image of the tunic flashing in front of his eyes for a moment. He slumps forward, shaking his head.]
[Hiyori may remember from either Zelda's file or Link's that Link has large gaps in his memory, possibly caused by trauma.]
... I remember that at the end was that they told me I could help people be happy. I remember being afraid, and then feeling safe.

Date: 2020-02-22 04:32 am (UTC)[Hiyori's lips move. Words don't come out. His throat is just cracking incredulously.]
Oh.
I see.
That's nice.
I remember being reminded of every single time Ikuya Kirishima put me down until I finally realized he would never love or even respect me. For starters.

Date: 2020-02-22 01:52 pm (UTC)[He puts his elbows on the table and presses his hands against his forehead.]
You're much smarter than me. What do we do? IT keeps us safe and protected. Why can't they see that? They aren't going near the TVs or radios, so the red fog isn't affecting them as much...
[He presses his lips together.]
I'm going to go to them after the trial is done. Make one last plea to them. You should stay back in case they try to all swarm and attack me at once. One of us needs to make sure things stay running, just in case.
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 04:56 pm (UTC)It's good that we're coming up with a plan together. Working together makes us stronger. They believe that, we should too. It's how we kept #7 at least safe.
But... [Link's conclusion fills him with deep concern.] You want me to let you go ahead and die before me...? That's... Exactly what the picture book they gave back to me said I should never do...
[Hiyori slams his hands on the table, a glint of hope in his eyes.]
So I should do the opposite! That was enemy propaganda from outside!!
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 06:40 pm (UTC)[He nods at Hiyori's assessment.]
Don't worry. I'll be careful. I won't even go far - before the trial's done I'll set up some sandwiches in the dining room and have the wall stay clear so they can see.
no subject
Date: 2020-02-22 07:02 pm (UTC)[Likewise nodding at the sandwich thing.]
So I think you have a good plan. It'll be like... when I went to Kyuubey's party last week. We're just taking turns.

Date: 2020-02-23 06:05 am (UTC)I'll be at the desk, then. Looking into the rules. The Strangers need to know what will happen if they don't take this trial seriously.
...thank you for talking with me. It really - it helps. Let's help IT.
