DAY 309 | Video open
If anyone is getting rid of their pearls I'll take them.

[Someone's green greed pearl is making it hard to give it up even after hearing Sam's announcement. Besides, she's fine. There's nothing wrong with hers, right? Hoarding is normal and fun! The more pearls are better. She can give it up whenever she wants. She just doesn't want to!]

	...So you're hoarding. [ Oh boy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Frowning.] It's just a few pearls. [Just one green pearl at the moment. No one else has offered theirs up. Of course this isn't the first time she's been accused of hoarding since getting the pearl. Their apartment is a mess.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Haruka has to try very hard not to listen to her own pearl-induced paranoia that the Wardens had wanted this stuff to spread. It's insidious. Okay. Focus. ] How long has it been since you got one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since the day my roommate found them. I don't know what everyone is complaining about. Mine is fine. [Deny, deny, deny.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess not being in control of your own actions is fine then, too. [ Maybe if she holds her own pearl, she'll think of some---No. Stop that. Haruka shrugs with the hint of a smile. Drat. She likes Artemis. ] Brainwashed isn't a good look on you, kitten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her pearl may be playing with her sense of greed, but right now she's showing frustration (at people trying to take her stuff.)] I'm telling you, it's not like that. [It's completely like that.] I don't know why people are having such a hard time listening today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video actsmagnificent 2015-02-09 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	Just returning the favor. [ Squabbling won't fix the problem, though. Hrm. Can anything be done...? She and Artemis have mostly just physically sparred... Well, there's that. ] I'll play you for mine. Best out of three in a sport of your choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She should have seen that coming. ] Do they have that at the gym? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure we can set something up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Name your time. [ This is going to backfire on her, Haruka can tell. But she'll make even that result work for the best. Somehow. She'll figure it out by the time she gets there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bring your pearl.

[ And she cuts the feed. It's going to be hard thinking up Plan B when there's a part of her that's outraged she just bet her pearl - she could lose her pearl - she has to keep her pearl...

...but Haruka tramples that as best she can. She's faced worse tests of her self-control. Now to see if emotional manipulation has thrown Artemis off her game any. ]

[Artemis isn't there in twenty minutes, but it isn't too long afterward, and there was a reason for the hold up. That reason was her boyfriend getting through to her even if just barely.

Artemis is still shaking off the effects, but Haruka said she had a pearl and she didn't want to just leave that hanging in case it was the truth. Those things are bad news.]

I don't have it.

	Kind of hard to bet, then. [ Haruka studies Artemis. Don't have it because "didn't want to bet it", or don't have it as in "got rid of it"? ] What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action greenerarrow 2015-02-16 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Boyfriend happened. He convinced me to let it go. I guess all that stuff...it was kind of true. [Still dealing with the being a fool for so long thing even if it wasn't really all her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action actsmagnificent 2015-02-17 03:34 am UTC (link)
	[ Good on you, Artemis's-boyfriend-Haruka-doesn't-think-she's-met. And good on Artemis for having the guts to listen. She nods, looking pleased for about half a second. ] How are you getting rid of it? [ She wants in on pearl destruction. No matter how much a corner of her brain tells her otherwise. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: action greenerarrow 2015-02-17 03:37 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. I mean, at first he was just going to keep it somewhere I couldn't get to it. I guess there's no reason for that now. Just need to destroy them. Yours too if you really have one. Or were you just trying to get me to give mine up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Haruka dips a hand into her pocket and flashes something orange at Artemis - just for a second - before pocketing it again. No point in reigniting temptation. ] It'd be best if there were no chance of them coming back.

[ She looks over at the ocean, but....they might wash back ashore someday...and who knows how much later that would be. This could start all over again with a new crop of prisoners. ]

	I'm fresh out of my pearl-demolishing machines, but I don't disagree. [She nods to the unseen pearl in the pocket.] Do you know what it's doing to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action actsmagnificent 2015-02-18 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka hasn't tried to put the effects into words before. Her hand jerks towards said pocket, then stops. She clenches both her fists, thinks hard, and has to look away while she's thinking, but she says it. ] ....Paranoia. Probably. [ Which goes so great with being held captive against her will, right? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action greenerarrow 2015-02-26 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that sounds like a great one to keep. [Artemis really doesn't want to touch another pearl, let alone one that might be causing paranoia, but...] I could get rid of it for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action actsmagnificent 2015-02-27 02:38 am UTC (link)
	You have an idea? [ Temporary measures aren't going to cut it, here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action greenerarrow 2015-03-01 05:06 am UTC (link)
	At the moment the idea is to just get it away from us for now and then work on the forever part. Let me worry about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Haruka hesitates - she accepted this pearl; it's her problem - then, reluctantly, holds it out in a fist. It's just pride making this difficult, she tells herself. She can give up this pearl. Any desire to keep it is a trick. ] Let me know what you do with them.

[ That way, if they ever come back - or something happens to Artemis - she can handle it herself. ]
