[...Estelle's come across the ice sculpture of Beatrice, the roommate that she actually had a lot of fun with, despite her occasional harsh words. she looked up to Beato because she was always had such conviction about whatever she thought, and never had reservations about saying anything... she was so strong! and powerful! and determined

[Saya can hear the odd sound of someone breaking ice and looks in to investigate, seeing Estelle and the ice sculpture of Beatrice.]

Eh? What happened to her?

[rang_a_bell]

She - she's under here!

If I can just break this ice... I might be able to save her! Please... Beato! Live!

[cue more swordswings]

[Saya frowns deeply, continuing to watch.]

That won't help, if her cells have frozen then trying to get her out would just kill her.

[rang_a_bell]

But...! I don't think that we should just give up! It could be magical ice...

[stabilimento]

[ The ice holds resolutely, but be carefully of how hard those strikes land! After all, it's frozen solid... she might lose a finger or two... or more... if one tries to carve her out too viciously... ]

[gynophobe]

Estelle...

[rang_a_bell]

I... I just don't want to give up on her.

[gynophobe]

[Dammit, he wants to put a hand on her shoulder, offer a hug, or anything - but all he can do is offer kind words, and he thinks, with this game as it is, that he's run out.]

... I don't think there's anything else you can do for her. Not right now, anyway, not until you're able to get out of here. All we can do for the people who've died is find the last traitor quickly.

[rang_a_bell]

That's true.

Do you - do you have any ideas, Guy? On who to... to vote for.

[her sword and shield have dropped to her side, though there's really no reason for her to have her shield around in the first place. habit?]

[littlclassified]

Her name is in red...you can't save her.

I am very sorry for your loss.

[rang_a_bell]

[Estelle pauses, still holding her sword resolutely]

It may be... But I must still try to free her from this prison. If there's even a chance, I want to take it.

Estelle... I... If you lose your mind, how can anyone expect to keep theirs? You're working so hard to keep our mood cheerful, and... and your will is so strong, not like mine.

[Topher takes a close look] How awful... she's under at least three millimeters of ice. I'd suggest something with a strong fire, but this ice isn't obeying the laws of ice. It should be melting at this temperature, but... [He puts a hand on the ice, then jerks it away almost instantly] Yow... it's cold. Why this house plays such sick tricks on us, I do not know.

[rang_a_bell]

Losing... my mind? I'm sorry! I don't mean to - I didn't think that being determined to save my friend would make me look crazy...

[geniustopher]

Well... when Sparky and Konata died, I have to admit I was the one who trashed the kitchen and one of the living spaces. I did lose my mind, or at least come close - I had been insulted to my face by several housemates and then I couldn't save poor Konata, who I don't think even was a traitor in the end. I felt so worthless, I think I lost my temper, and with nobody around to vent it all at who deserved to hear it, I became... destructive. Thankfully, Antonio was able to calm me out of it, after I almost hit him with a vase. I didn't want to hurt anybody, really, and having a neutral, friendly person to talk to calmed me immensely. I took a nap after that to finish calming down, but it took me a while.
