WEEK 2.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 2 Adelina and Kyrie Ushiromiya are dead. Regardless of how you felt about them and whether or not you mourned their passing, life goes on. It seems the Wordsmith intends to make good on the rules he's left for you all. Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... Either way, it seems there's nothing to do but move on - or, perhaps, move down. Another door in that holding area near the elevator seems to have opened up, leading into a corridor and a stairwell that seems to lead you somewhere beneath the dormitories, and eventually onto a new floor altogether. Go ahead and explore all you like; after all, you did well at completing your lessons this past week. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 28

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ HI GANGREL DON'T MIND HER JUST WALKING UP IN THE... BODY PORTION OF A GREEN MASCOT COSTUME JESUS CHRIST ]

Is something wrong with it?

[plegia]

[That. Sure is a thing you're wearing. Wow.]

It doesn't cut! Watch!

[And like the totally sane individual he is, he brings the goddamn sword down on his left arm. It's not with enough force to bruise so it's not like it would have taken his arm off but still holy shit, Gangrel.]

See? How is that possible? It doesn't look like the blade is dull or anything!

[...and now he just sounds personally offended that the sword did not cut his arm. okay.]

[iamthatsea]

[ "MY DUDE WHAT THE HELL" - alani, internally ]

That-! Please don't do that again, but also that doesn't seem... possible, yeah. Maybe it's a practice sword of some kind?

[plegia]

I already tested it, I knew it wouldn't do anything.

[gangrel]

I've never seen a practice sword that actually looks like a sword, but I suppose that's not surprising. There's a lot here I don't recognize.

[Ugh, what a disappointment. And here he got his hopes up for nothing!!]

[iamthatsea]

Well... what would you have done if it was a real sword?

[ WOULD SHE HAVE BECOME A SEAFOOD KEBAB FOR BEING THE FIRST PERSON TO WANDER UP TO HIM????? ]

[plegia]

Cackled loudly for awhile and then found something to bandage my hand.

[...AT LEAST HE'S HONEST......????]

[iamthatsea]

... at least you're honest?

[ She's met people who are weirder about swords now, if that memory was real, but still BRO ]

I think we should have as few working swords around as possible, though, considering where we are.

[plegia]

[s i g h]

I suppose you're right. You'd think letting us have the temptation would be good for whatever the Wordsmith's getting out of all of this, though.

[That's still the part that's baffling him. Why aren't there weapons, that makes more sense...]

[iamthatsea]

A cruel joke, maybe?

[ She frowns. Ugh. ]

I guess he just wants us to be "creative" about it or something like that.

[ s/o to air quotes ]

[plegia]

My money would be on a joke. I'm sure there are plenty of us who miss our weapons and would love to see a sword - any sword - again.

[r u d e]

[iamthatsea]

I can't say I'm in that boat heh, but I do miss my powers, so I get it.

[plegia]

What kind of powers do you usually have?

[He's totally fine with the idea that everyone is from weird, different worlds SO LET'S GO, HE'S READY]

[iamthatsea]

I control water!

[ ... ]

This is where I'd say "sea?" and show you, but I don't really have much without that.

[plegia]

[WELL THAT GETS HIM TO EVIL LAUGH REALLY HARD, THANKS]

That's brilliant! I'm actually disappointed that I can't sea it! You'll have to show me once the tide has turned and we've drowned the Wordsmith!

[...did you even fucking try gangrel]

[iamthatsea]

[ YOU WERE SO CLOSE but as a great man once said, "two out of three ain't bad" ]

We'll overwhalem him yet, I know it.

[plegia]

[...OHHHHHHH GODDAMMIT THAT ONE'S REALLY GOOD GIVE HIM A MOMENT TO EVIL LAUGH AGAIN]

I'd keep going, but I don't think I stand a fighting chance! I submit, this round is yours!

[BUT PUNS ARE A++ AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT FOR THOSE]

[iamthatsea]

[ PUNS... SHE'S IN THE MOOD FOR THEM ONCE MORE, GOD BLUEMOTHER HELP US ALL ]

Thank you, thank you, I try. Kickass water puns and ass-kicking, that's me! And without the second one, well... it's what I've got.

[plegia]

Shame about that, but for the time being the puns are fine.

[s h r u g!!!]

Dreadful shame about your powers, though. I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose something like that.

[A sword is one thing, but if you're reckless enough you can break your weapon and be left on the battlefield without any way to defend yourself, but powers? That's entirely different. You don't lose those. Unless you unequip the skill.]

[iamthatsea]

[ truly she is no longer the ocean's grey waves ]

It's... not pleasant. It's proof of our connection with the Bluemother, so... it's a little like missing a limb.

[plegia]

[GODDAMMIT HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LAUGH THIS HARD]

Well, can't say I've ever felt like that.

[gangrel]

It doesn't sound pleasant. Hopefully you can beat the Wordsmith until he fixes it.

[...assuming this is something that can be fixed...???]

[iamthatsea]

[ SORRY NOT SORRY ]

If he shows his face, I'm gonna... I don't know if I'll beat him up, but I'm going to have some words for him. Very strong words. Some of them my elders would not approve of.

[plegia]

At the very least he deserves that much! And even if you don't want to beat him up, I've no doubts many of us will!

[iamthatsea]

I'm... definitely getting that sense from some of the people here, yeah.

[plegia]

I've never seen a group of more bloodthirsty people. And I'm the King of Plegia! Gyahahaha!

[iamthatsea]

Pretty sharkish over where you're from, huh?
