[fffffuck these doors]

[honesty, after the first time, Magilou isn't quite sure why she's opening hers and Laphicet's door again. maybe. . . she's testing herself? maybe the knowledge that this island is fucking with her head the way Melchior used to puts her on edge, and makes her want to prove to this goddamn island that she can take whatever mental abuse it throws at her]

[and so, here she is, standing in front of her door with a blank expression, once again watching Artorius strangle the one woman Magilou admired more than anyone else in the entire world to death. she's sort of standing in front of the doorway, trying to block the images within, but since she's short it isn't so difficult to see what's beyond from behind]

. . . it doesn't get any more riveting after the first time. . .

[by now, she's peeked into the rooms of a few others. caught glimpses of illusions that didn't belong to her, of scenes that had no emotional impact on her heart but rendered other people on this island speechless with fear and grief. she's purposefully avoided hers and Laphicet's door, knowing that whatever was on the other side wouldn't be anything pleasant]

[until now]

Oh brother. . . I wonder what it says about my own recklessness that I'm doing this. . .

[and so! with a sigh, she steps forward, hand brushing against the handle of the door. she gives it a twist, pushes it open, and--]

[-- Velvet's eyes, devoid of color, devoid of everything that made her Velvet, flickering towards her. her hands clawing at Artorius's, which are wrapped tight around her neck, suffocating her and wringing the last remnants of life and defiance from the woman's body]

[Magilou's breath hitches in her throat for the barest of moments]

[and then she slams the door shut]

. . . no thank you!

[she moves quietly towards Akira and Raven's hut after nightfall, but before curfew, silently hoping that Raven's absence means it'll be empty save for Akira. careful observation of his demeanor throughout the day revealed to her that his strength was wavering-- worry, a dash of panic, and most importantly fear, was etched into every single feature, to the point of where that spark in his eyes she admired so much was completely invisible]

[she didn't like it]

[. . . but she didn't know what to do about it, either]

[this wasn't her area of expertise. hell, just a few short weeks ago, she would've taken one look at that expression and kept her distance, allowing him to deal with his emotions all on his own. but her feet carry her before she can really think about it, and before she knows it, she's outside his door, standing with her hands linked behind her back and her expression neutral]

[she sucks in a deep breath]

Hey, Trickster! You home?

[Vriska is probably still angry. not that Magilou can blame her, honestly. it's been one heck of a weekend. and Vriska had thrown one heck of a gauntlet at the end of the execution. it was pretty impressive, actually! and Magilou-- being Magilou-- loved to see that kind of fire in a person's soul]

[so it's no wonder that she seeks Vriska out some time after the execution is finished]

. . . I'm kind of impressed.

[where you at, Yona? because a witch is looking for you]

Hey. Summer. Got a few questions for you, hm?

[it really is kind of weird that they keep stumbling across each other after trials and investigations, sometimes on purpose, and sometimes not. this time is definitely not on purpose on Magilou's part (the ball's up in the air on whether it was the last couple of instances, aha), as she can be found lounging in one of the chairs by the bonfire. she's got her feet buried in the sand, half a stick of sea-salt ice cream shoved in her mouth, her hat pulled over her eyes, and--]

[the knife she used in the execution earlier, all clean and shiny now, resting in her lap]

[SHE LOOKS COZY!! how can anyone look cozy after killing a man, I have no idea]

[at some point, these two are finally getting around to burning that weird. . . volleyball effigy of Lucina. they probably do it on the beach, near the bonfire, because burning an effigy near an already lit source of flame is the easiest thing to do]

[oh. and they probably have sea-salt ice cream. or at least, Magilou does. she nibbles at it idly as she watches the flames dance. but the silence is broken by--]

Hey, Lucina.

Now that we know evil Jack killed a guy, did anything weird happen on Thursday night when he was with you and Laura?

[oh]

[she gives him time. she gives him space. not out of any sense of reverence or anything like that, but because she wants to talk to him while he's in his right mind. after he's had a chance to absorb the information and accept it for what it is]

[thus, she doesn't approach until evening sometime, a book tucked under her arms and a stony expression on her features]

Have you had time to think?

[she keeps herself cool and detached, as always. no feelings. she's bad at those]

[HEY ZUKO]

[there's a pink witch in a jester hat wandering around the hut area with a book in her hands]

[do you bother, y/n? she seems to be engrossed in thought. . . which means her features are much softer than they usually are]

[Magilou wasn't the type to be easily shaken, especially not by creepy volleyball faces and yellow dresses and blue wigs. such scare tactics were beyond her, and she rejected their effectiveness on her being!!]

[. . . but Lucina-- whom she truly believed was being honest when she said she would be okay-- had at least some measure of a reaction to the creepy effigy found during the day's investigation. and so. . . after everyone has retired back to their huts for the night, Magilou asks the question that has been on her mind all day]

What do you think they gain from all this. . . unnecessary violence, hm?

["they" being "the killers"]

[it's a few hours after the investigation, and Magilou is-- well. THERE'S STILL A BIG CAT IN THE LONGHOUSE!!]

[. . . but she hasn't entered the building yet, instead sitting outside on its porch, book propped open on her knees. it's not an uncommon sight for her on Fridays, and honestly? Akira is more familiar with it than most]

[her expression is blank when he first approaches her, distant and lost in thought, but she seems to jump back to reality when she notices he's nearby. and then-- she grins]

Hey.

I wanna pet the cat again.

[#priorities]

[it's after curfew, and the front door is locked. the hut, although slightly crowded, is quiet]

[too quiet for Magilou's tastes, especially with tension and awkwardness hanging so thick in the air you could cut it with a butter knife. she had never been good with. . . feelings. . . honestly, and despite her best efforts to become good at them (UGH), they still sort of eluded her]

[but she was excellent at being a distraction]

Heeey, listen up! There are five people in this hut, which means we have enough to turn this little gathering into an actual party. Unfortunately, nobody brought refreshments or drinks-- shame on you, by the way-- but I brought the entertainment!

[a flick of her wrist, and suddenly she has a deck of cards fanned out in her hands]

Everyone here knows how to play poker, right?

[she comes across him by complete accident while they're both outside, on the beach, and just. watches him stumble about, face pale and brow covered in sweat, before she finally speaks up]

I thought losing limbs was supposed to be a foolproof cure for the stupids.

[she's pleasant??]

You were really toeing the line between adventurer and damsel for a while there, weren't you?

[hi Jacopo]

[Lief spilled your secrets]

[at some point, once the commotion from earlier calms down and Lucina's injuries are propertly treated, Lucina and Magilou will make it back to their shared hut. and, with her roommate (hopefully) resting in her cot, Magilou will take a seat on the floor next to her bed, legs folded underneath her]

You should proooobably get some sleep now.

[with the worst over, she imagines it's probably safe for Lucina to pass out for a few hours]

[#maimquestweek3]

Soooooo.

How's your shoulder?

[at least she's waiting until evening, after Lief has had time to recover and after Lucina is asleep in order to approach him]

[HEY IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER MEETING OF SHADY PEOPLE]

[Magilou is napping in a tree branch today! dressed in her bikini rather than her bookskirt. bother her?]

[knock knock knock on the Katara-Inuyasha hut. the only reason she's here is because someone bullied her into getting first aid]

Heeeeey! I need a bandage! Quick, before I bleed out! Help meeeeeeeeeee. . .!

[ah, yes. unnecessary dramatics]

[she thinks their little brawl the day before probably helped him get some of his anger out of his system. she thinks, possibly, she's managed to convince him that both times she put Nino in peril were accidents]

[and yet, she wants to make sure. she doesn't want to walk around this island with a target on her back. doesn't want to have to constantly look over her shoulder, to make sure he isn't there, ready to strike. because now that she's used the one (1) trick up her sleeve that could give her an advantage with him in a fight. . . she knows she'd be screwed if he actually came at her with killing intent]

[and so, once Austria's execution is complete, she approaches]

Hey, Musclehead.

[sorry about your new nickname]

Let's talk.

[her injury from the day before has been bandaged]

[HA I SPELLED HIS NAME RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRY]

[after everything that happened at the trial, all the accusations leveled against Lelouch and the one vote he managed to garner, she's approaching]

Hey.

Did you do it?

[she doesn't actually think he did. that's why she hadn't voted for him. and yet, Magilou never did beat around the bush for things like this.]

[her injury, btw, has been taken care of. it's wrapped in a bandage, all cleaned and everything]
