trusthell | WEEK 2.

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

Okay, okay... [clarm pls...]

A little girl sent me a letter, asking for my help. She helped me save someone, and asked if I would stay... [he smiles fondly] I had so much trouble last week, when people asked me where my home was, because I didn't think I had one. I was wrong.

[ . . . Damn, he got a happy one.

That said: ]

What, you didn't have a home at all before? You had to be born somewhere.

[ She's just being contrary at this point ]

Of course! But, a home is a little more than the place you live, or where you're from. At least, that's what I think.

[ He's... Right.

She'll fall silent at that, frowning deeply. And listen to other people's dream saga ]

[im sorry elda you seem to be under the completely wrong impression that he's just gonna stop

and like NOT go and sit down next to her.

because that's exactly what he does. doesn't say anything yet. just sits.]

[ What the hell do you think you're doing.

Elda uses Evil Eye, it's even catlike! ]

[it's not very effective...]

Talking about things can help. [said very quietly]

Talking about what? Not like anyone else is going to!

[ . . . Said after Sportacus did and Silver halfway did and Kira did, of course. ... Also oops that wasn't whispered so much as snapped ]

Some of us are. Even the ones who had bad dreams. [still quiet]

[ Once more, a hateful gaze.

... But she knows this man is too stupid for it, so she ups the ante, pointing a long ~~claw~~ lady fingernail right at his eye ]

I'm not telling you guys. I had one, that's enough for you to know.

[y'know this is why people have the whole "fear" thing. to prevent them from even getting to this point.

tragic.]

Keeping it to yourself, you'll just keep thinking and thinking about it. You'll stay stuck on it.

That sure sounds like my problem even if you're right.

[ HOW IS HE NOT FLINCHING.

the nail gets closer... ]

It is your problem. But, you shouldn't have to deal with those problems alone.

[this is the worst game of chicken ever.]

[ It's like. Centimeters away now. Just a mass of red nail in his eye.

Someone stop this ]

Your name isn't- [ she falters, but ] James or Henry, last I checked.

Edited 2017-01-31 19:10 (UTC)

Who are James and Henry? [is this his opening he's gonna take it]

[ he flinches.

Shit. ]

My husband and son.

Do you think they would want you suffering by yourself here?

No, they want me back with them!

And you will be back with them. [suddenly v serious voice] But, hurting and keeping yourself away from everyone here won't make it happen any faster.

Edited 2017-01-31 19:41 (UTC)

[ Elda rolls her eyes at that, but at least the claw is out of his eye now?? she pulls it back to herself to frown at it ]

Please, someone else'll be dead in the next two weeks, and I'm supposed to do that?

[small victories]

If everyone stopped talking because of the chance someone might die, we'd all be very lonely, wouldn't we?

[ ... Pfffthaha. This is. A laugh. ]

What, that's your defense for it now?!

I'm not defending anything. I'm just saying it'd be very lonely if we let being scared stop us from [pause] talking to each other.

[he's trying very hard not to say the f-word.]

I know I would be lonely.

[ Tch.

... Lonely, huh. James said that he would be with her forever and-

A hooded glance comes over his eyes, and he frowns ]

I'm stlll here at this meeting, aren't I? That's enough.

Edited 2017-01-31 20:02 (UTC)

It's a very good start! [and he's very proud]
