BLOOD TO GO AROUND / open, weekly tasks 7/8

fuck. people.

"a weekly task is like.. a thing you do. vigenere is smarter than me and said it better. ok, bell... you're a pretty little thing, why don't you beautify the town or some shit. plant some flowers. go hogwild," he grinned. this was easier than he thought. "kauko, uh... go see if you can catch anything in the swamp. i'll give you a beer if you do," now these were less of 'do things for the benefit of the clan' tasks but more 'do things because malphas thought saying them was amusing' type of tasks. "vigenere, you're pretty social... throw a party but make sure there's booze cause i won't come if there isn't any."

turning his head to hati, and suddenly he was overwhelmed with a burning fear. memories of the sight of her nearly-destroyed body rushed back to him and he opened his mouth but no words came out. "hati..." he trailed off, clearly distraught. he had to pull himself together. "hati, can you..." one more try. "hati, can you find a game for everybody to play? bonding and shit." he fake-grinned, and avoided eye contract with her.
