Post will be prettified later. For now, the facts:
Post updated 11am:
Sakamoto Castle, a once grand home to Akechi’s Army, has been ransacked. Goods and provisions have been stolen, what remains has been broken or shredded, and blood stains the walls and floors.
pallycake lets herself into Akechi’s room. There is a peculiar stench that goes straight to her stomach. She looks around until her eyes come to rest on the table. She overturns the cloth, finding
Justin’s corpse folded up like origami and being fed on by flies.
“Disgusting,” she mutters.
She drops the cloth again and retreats from the room. She stops dead in her tracks.
“Who are you?”
oath2order draws his sword. “Emperor Ōgimachi sent me to check out the commotion.”
pallycake doesn’t wait to hear more. She runs back into the room, immediately tailed by the intruder, and grabs one of Akechi’s weapons.
oath2order impales himself as he runs towards her. She trembles, still holding onto the handle until his weigh becomes too much for her to uphold. She lets go of the sword and both it and
oath2order fall to the ground.
“What have I done?”
She’s a doctor. Doctors aren’t meant to take lives; they’re meant to heal them. She drops to her knees beside
oath2order, feeling for a pulse.
He attempts to bite at her wrist, instead catching cloth between his teeth. “Don’t touch me.”
pallycake feels her eyes tearing up. She wants to walk away - but something is keeping her here, in this room that is fast becoming a tomb for the fallen members of The Daijō-kan.
pallycake’s alone. She’s not used to this. She can’t handle it. Akechi’s dead. The castellan’s dead. They hadn’t heard word from the hooker they’d sent to interrogate Oda Nobunaga.
She pulls the sword out of
oath2order’s dying body, and strikes it through her own stomach.
pallycake the
Eta has died.
oath2order the
Dairyo (formerly
Bushi) has died.
Day 4 will end 11pm GMT (6pm EST) Tuesday 20th May.
