WEEK 1.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 1 Now that you've had a chance to yell at the Wordsmith, one thing is very clear. He wasn't lying. There's no escape from this place. You can explore all you like, but there aren't any ways to leave. It seems like there isn't much to do but settle in and get to know your fellow Apprentices. You're free to go wherever you'd like for the most part, but come 10PM the doors to the kitchen and the mail room will shut and lock and nothing you can do will get them to open. While you might be tempted to sleep in, you'll find that the clock in the foyer goes off every morning at 7AM and again in the evenings at 10PM without fail. You'll be able to hear it no matter where you are; it seems it's being broadcast over the PA system. You're welcome to go back to sleep after you hear it, but surely you don't want to spend the whole day in bed? (Unless you were out exploring all last night. In which case, go back to bed, damn.) APPRENTICES REMAINING: 30

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[OOC: Welcome to week one of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Wordsmith, you can do so through letters or the switchboard!]

Good morning.

[It certainly does smell delicious, but...]

Will you be eating all of that yourself?

[He doesn't know how much Killia eats yet, but it's certainly possible.]

[deofoled]

Good morning.

No, I made some for you too if you want it.

[ Weird how this kind of reminds him of- well he'd rather not think about it.]

[certaingiant]

[Christo blinks owlishly, in genuine surprise. Of course they're allies, but Christo can cook for himself...

Oh. One problem.]

I'm normally a vegetarian, but I won't turn down food that's been made for me. - Thank you.

[It smells really good, so it'd be hard to say no.]

[deofoled]

[Oh.]

I can make you something else. What do you like?

[ ..It's way too easy for him to fall into wanting to please others in this regard, old habits die hard.]

[certaingiant]

Well, usually in my curry I have tomatoes and eggplants, but I don't want all the curry you made to go to waste...

[That is a Lot of curry.]

[deofoled]

I'll make you a vegetable curry then, give me a bit.

[ He'll start on that now actually, and with how fast he's chopping the vegetables it's clear he's done this a lot.]

Maybe someone else here will eat what I don't.

[certaingiant]

There certainly isn't any lack of people here. Though, you might want to check what humans can digest before serving one of them.

[Are humans like dogs and such and allergic to certain food? Maybe? It's worth being careful.]

[deofoled]

[...]

Like how prinnies can only really survive on sardines?

[certaingiant]

Like that. We wouldn't want you to be the first to act upon those 'rules' by accidentally poisoning someone.

[deofoled]

[ You really should have told him this sooner, Christo.]

A couple of them took some.

[certaingiant]

[He only just got up!]

...That's bad. Which ones?

[deofoled]

[ How was he supposed to know humans are like prinnies even if prinnies are humans that are reincarnated as a punishment!!]

Estelle, Gold... the other ones aren't full humans, I think. [ He knows Mika is a sword so that's fine? Maybe?]

[certaingiant]

[Swords can probably eat whatever!

That's a weird sentence.]

I'll check on them. Though there isn't much we can do without medical supplies or healing magic.

[deofoled]

Don't you think they would have realized they were eating something they shouldn't?

[...are humans this dumb, now he's not so sure anymore. But he's grateful for Christo's help, because he certainly doesn't know how to handle this.]

[certaingiant]

If they don't eat it, they probably don't see it prepared regularly. If that's the case, they might not recognize what it looks like.

[Well, there isn't much he can actually do, but at least he can tell Killia to be more careful in the future.]

[deofoled]

[...]

I guess humans really are as fragile as the rumors say.

[certaingiant]

They'll drop like flies.

[Good to see you have such faith in no one murdering anyone, Christo.]

[deofoled]

Yeah, they will.

[ Complete agreement here, aren't they two balls of optimism.]

[certaingiant]

At least you and I know better than to murder someone and then be caught.

[deofoled]

[ He's a bit surprised to hear that but-]

I'm glad Red Magnus isn't here.

[certaingiant]

If there's anyone who would do something impulsive...

[Red Magnus would be the absolute worst choice.]

[deofoled]

...we have to get back to them soon.

[ For a bunch of reasons, but now he's kind of imagining the trouble they're getting into without either of them.]

[certaingiant]

I give it two weeks before he and Seraphina tear each other apart.

At most.

[deofoled]

Christo.

[ That does not fill him with confidence, and he clenches his fist.]

There's got to be a way. [ Without killing someone who has nothing to do with this.]

[certaingiant]

Of course. We'll both escape from here, I can promise you that.
