[ In the morning of the Sunsui festival, Ruby will a package with her name on it. It contains the cutest sewing kit Riko could only find a few days ago. Worried that she might have bought one already, Riko wasn't sure if it's such a good idea at least until she remembered that they might eventually go back to the hub island.
Besides, they say the more the merrier. There's also a short message for Ruby from Riko:
Ruby-chan, Merry Sunsui! You were fantastic yesterday and I'm still amazed how cute our costumes turned out. I hope that you'll like this little gift, I tried my Rubesty to get you something that you'll like.

Hey Ruby? Am I still comin' through down there?
[ They should all still be able to communicate just as well as before but like she's getting super nervous the longer this takes. ]

( Emil's kind of out of the loop with the whole kidnapping scenario, which...forgive him for being perhaps a bit naive to the severity of things. However, he did see her name scroll by on the list of those taken.
Hmm...checking in wouldn't hurt, would it? )
Ruby? Are you alright?

[ jade doesn't know if anyone listens to them when they talk. this has struck her recently, and as loathe as she is to admit it, it's a possibility they have to consider. so when she rouses ruby in the middle of the night with her good arm, it's accompanied by flashing lime green text via their telepathic link. ]
ruby! ruby! have you heard...from madoka??

[ will the testing never end? it certainly doesn't feel that way, to be honest. every fiber of his being feels sore and he feels completely exhausted. he needs some kind of distraction, someone to talk to for a little while. akira's his first choice, but he doesn't want to deal with the inteference today so he decides to ping someone a little closer. ]
Kurosawa-san?
Kurosawa-san?
Emil-san...
[ though ruby's voice is normally energized and alert, the way that she replies has none of that. a reflection of her mental state, her reply is soft and exhausted-sounding - she's just been thrown back into her cell from a bout of testing. needless to say, it wasn't good. ]
I'm... It hurts... a lot.

[ sleep isn't coming nearly as easy to ruby as it normally does, but any sort of rest is welcome. she had managed to drift off for a couple of hours before jade rouses her, the green text flashing making her shut her eyes tight in reflex. ]
wha
no
not since yesterday
[ her thoughts are a little scrambled from sleep, but as she rubs her eyes and begins to wake up, jade's worried expression registers with her. ]
why?
is she ok?

[ the pain from her most recent test is beginning to subside, but the burn mark that it's left on her wrist likely isn't going to heal any time soon. she's tied it haphazardly with a piece of fabric, but it's no band-aid. ]
Mm.
[ it's a short acknowledgement, but it's all she can manage. ]

[ Amanda swallows. Even through the static she sounds worn out. ]
How you holdin' up down there kid?

they took her stuff
and she is acting strange and saying i have to get her ring back for her
now she will not answer me!
[ jade's unaware of whatever properties are in madoka's ring, after all. ]

...If you're not too worn out, would you mind talking to me for a little while? I need a distraction.
[ the answer to that is Not Good, but ruby has enough wits about her to know that an answer like that will just worry anyone who asks. it's probably obvious enough anyway, but her voice comes through the link sounding somewhat choked up. ]
I'm... okay.
[ ... ]
I want to come home.
I'm... okay.
[ ... ]
I want to come home.
I'm a little sleepy... But okay.
[ the drugs that they had injected into her have been scrambling her brain quite a bit, and have reached the point of wearing off. she's groggy, but coherent enough for a conversation. ]
You sound sad. Was today bad for you?

[ She doesn't sound good, but at least she can still... fake it well enough. ]
I know. We want you home too. Just... gotta hold out a little longer, alright?

Yes. I'm glad it's over so I can get some respite.
[ he wants to lie in his bed forever tbh. ]
But let's not think about the testing. Tell me about things you like, Kurosawa-san.

[ jade hadn't considered that, honestly. she pauses, and leans down, ears flattening like a scolded puppy. ]

Things I like?
[ that's an easy question, but it almost seems silly to talk about her frivolous hobbies when they clearly have worse things to deal with. all the same, akechi did ask... and it might make her feel better, too. ]
I love idols more than anything... But I think I told you that already. [ she gulps. ] D-Did you want me to talk about something else...?

I'm trying... I'm really, really trying, Amanda-san...
[ yeah... about that. as she conveys her thoughts, it's becoming more and more apparent that she's holding back fresh tears. it's easier when she's talking to her fellow chosen, but amanda has no idea what's going on. ]
They're hurting us a lot... I don't know what to do!
