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

[OOC: Welcome to week two 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!]

[ Well, well, Mikazuki isn't going to really wait too long in the sense of following the man soon enough, because he wants to make sure he's doing alright. ]

Killia? Is everything alright?

[deofoled]

Don't.

[ Maybe don't what would be helpful, but at least Mika got him to turn around so progress (?)]

[tsugomori]

...Don't?

[ Mikazuki is going to try to get him to fill in the 'what', but he sees progress, maybe?? He can be a bit of an airhead, but it doesn't mean he won't try!! ]

[deofoled]

Don't- [ Don't follow me he wants to say, but he doesn't quite get there.]

Are you trying to help me because I helped you the other day?

[tsugomori]

Well, Killia... it's not just the other day you've helped me.

[ He'll smile a little, recounting the events of this past week easily, because if there's one thing he doesn't forget, it's when people lend him a hand. ]

You also cooked something for me, remember? And even if you didn't help me at all, I'd have tried to help you anyway. Might we talk somewhere private, if you'll allow it?

[deofoled]

...

Fine.

[ In that case, he's just going to continue to walk to his room expecting Mika to follow (isn't this kinda familiar). When they're put inside he'll shut the door, though he doesn't say anything.]

[tsugomori]

[ Mikazuki is patient, so he was hoping the man would say yes, and when he did, the man calmly followed Killia to his room. He'll start them off, and the smile he has is another wry one instead of his usual. ]

It's tempting, isn't it? Especially if its a large threat... that if erased completely will be for the better for most people anyway.

[ ... ]

Then again, I'm not going to assume that's always the case. Do you mind telling me what category yours lies in and the name of the person or group you want to get rid of?

[deofoled]

[ Well this is not what he was expecting, and he's kinda glad for it.]

Category?

Void Dark.

[ The rest of it goes unanswered because he figures it's kinda obvious enough. And he really doesn't want to admit it out loud anyway.]

[tsugomori]

Well, if Void Dark is the type to be hated, or just a big threat...that category.

[ But he leaves that as is, knowing Killia won't answer it yet, especially when ... yes it is a bit obvious. ]

Anyway, I assumed it may have been that person, but I wanted to make sure.

But, I think we already know that listening to the Wordsmith is out of the question. Otherwise, I know I'd have plotted to make sure the History Revisionists would never exist. It is still a little frustrating, isn't it? For him to pull something like this, but we'll make it through this together, won't we?

[deofoled]

...history revisionists? [ He doesn't understand, but at least it's distracting him a little bit.]


I never wanted to be part of a group again. [ It's related to what Mika said, even if it doesn't appear to be. His anger is still there, but right now he just seems lost in thought.]

[tsugomori]

[ Mikazuki would rather not talk about it, because he's pretty sure that knowledge of such a thing was supposed to be secret to the general public, but then again, this wasn't the general public. Still, he was hesitant, but less so considering the Wordsmith had this knowledge and clearly was interfering with timelines. ]

They are people who wish to take hold of history into their own hands and change it by force -- killing off whoever may be the way. This could be by a many number of innocents or just one person. They're the enemy that I fight to defeat back at home.

[ It seems at the very least, it's giving Killia his much needed distraction. ]

So, you were a part of a group of friends from back at your home?

[deofoled]

More about time, huh...

[ It's kind of a new concept for him but not one he's willing to discount right away. There was no true rewinding time in the Netherworlds as far as he knew, but he certainly could think of a way to stop time momentarily.]

They're not my friends. We're the Rebel Army, Christo's our tactician. We're fighting to kill Void Dark before he conquers all the Netherworlds.

[tsugomori]

Oh I see... allies and comrades then.

[ That's different, right?? Well, maybe not, but still, there was sort of an attempt. Mikazuki wonders if Killia just doesn't want to admit that the people he teams up with are friends. Nahhh, that can't be it, can't it? ]

So Void Dark is the type of person to go through a bloody conquest, I'm guessing?

[deofoled]

[ He nods-- what do you mean they're actually his friends psh no.]

He's not just a person, he's a self-styled demon emperor. [ But that's not actually what he wants to talk about, because his mind has keyed onto something else.]

So you know people who have messed with time?

[tsugomori]

Hm, whatever the case I wish you and your companions well on defeating him once we leave this place.

[ Just admit you have friends, gosh Killia. ]

But, no, I don't know people who have messed with time personally, it is more like I'm sent out to fight against enemies who have. I don't suppose it's something you're familiar with, or is it?

[deofoled]

Kind of.

[...]

I've only seen someone stop time around inanimate objects. Nothing like changing history or even stopping time around the living for more then a few seconds.

[tsugomori]

My, my, that sounds like quite the incredible ability to have.

[ Now, Mikazuki figures stopping time around small things won't be too much of an issue with changing history unless someone got caught up in it and it lasted forever, he supposed! ]

It's not very common to have that power from where you've come, is it?

[deofoled]

No, it's a unique ability. We call the overload skills, every Overlord has a unique one.

[tsugomori]

Hmhm, I don't supposed there are a lot of Overlords, are there?

[ ... He wonders if Killia is an Overlord, but he'll just keep things simple. Probably. ]

[deofoled]

As many as there are Netherworlds.

[ In other words, a whole lot.]

[tsugomori]

I see, I see...

[ His gaze on Killia's person turns a little more curious, and he supposes he can't help but ask now. ]

... Were you or are you an Overlord too?

[deofoled]

[...]

I don't rule a Netherworld.

[tsugomori]

Oh.

[ ... So anyway-- ]

Would you like some tea, Killia?

[deofoled]

Sure.

[ He could just leave it at that, but--]


The history revisionists, if they changed history it would affect more than that one person or event, wouldn't it?

[tsugomori]

Yes it would.

[ He tries to keep it light-hearted, so there's the smile, but there's no cheer, so there is that. ]

It could be from anything like causing a whole entire city to go up in flames to someone simply ceasing to exist just because of what they've done. Which, when you think about it, it's only natural that effects like that would happen.
