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

Room call

[matchbreaker]

[ Opens door.

Baleful look which also probably ha an element of "girl please" in it ]

Unless you pumped it full of blood I'm out.

[firstaid]

Well, it doesn't have any meat in it, and I promise I didn't use garlic.

[So nothing that would have blood and yes she's very mindful of people's dislikes.]

1/2

[matchbreaker]

Oh, really?

[ she's... mildly surprised about the garlic consideration. But then, sniffing the air around Estelle, yeah, nothing quite that smelly on her as a residual scent probably ]

[matchbreaker]

Thanks, but either way, I can't taste your human food so best I could tell you is "the texture's sure nice!"

[ SMILES.

laugh even ]

[firstaid]

Why can't you taste human food?

[She hasn't quite put blood, doesn't like garlic, and that she can't taste human food together.]

[matchbreaker]

[ She grins a little broader, exposing her fangs ]

Because I'm a vampire.

[ How did some people still not know- well, she didn't talk to bubblegum here much. ]

[firstaid]

[She cants her head a bit, looking at her curiously. She drinks blood, dislikes garlic, and can't taste human food. Ah...!]

Really? That's so neat! What's it like being a vampire?

[Clearly, she does not fear Elda one bit...]

[matchbreaker]

[ What is it with these stupid kids?! ]

It's great?! I mean it's all I've ever known so what else could it be?!

[firstaid]

No, I mean like your eating habits, what do you do? Is it true you can't go out in sunlight? What about other myths that typically go with vampires?

[And here are the bombardment of questions now as Estelle actually leans in Elda's direction.]

[matchbreaker]

Hey, back up, Bubblegum.

[ Included in this push back in a long lady finger nail pushing her back by way of poking her in the chest. Totally logical. ]

We drink blood, what do you think?! And the whole running water and cross things aren't true.

[ She either ignores or doesn't hear the sunlight thing ]

[firstaid]

[Feeling that finger pressed into her chest, she definitely backs up a bit, but not without a pout on her face.]

But is garlic true? It's mentioned you don't like it in your profile.

[She'll go back to the sunlight question later.]

[matchbreaker]

Garlic's got a really strong smell. Like right now, [ Sniff... sniff... ]

Potatoes, right? That was the main part you were working with.

[ Raw potato smell on her fingers.

She thinks this proves her point. ]

[firstaid]

Oh, so you...

[She smiles, that makes sense.]

So the myth about garlic is because vampires have a keen sense of smell. I see.

[matchbreaker]

Exactly, see! You're keeping up!

[ Nod, nod, but also a little wave of her hand ]

[firstaid]

Does that mean sunlight is the same? For example, your eyes are sensitive to the light or something?

[Yep, she's come back to this.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Tch. Her eyes flash with hidden malice, and she asks, ]

What do you think?

[ Such skillful deflection ]

[firstaid]

Well, considering your sensitivity to smell, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume the same with sunlight.

[Hahaha, try deflecting Estelle right now. She's genuinely curious about this.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Tch. Alright, fine, fine. Not like there's any harm in it while there's no window and there's no door and just generally no sunlight.

So... ]

The sun burns vampires, none of us can go out in it if we don't wanna immolate.

[ That said, they also have sensitive eyes ]

[firstaid]

[O-oh that sounds awful.]

So you can't be out there... so that myth is true.

[She looks sad hearing this. The thought of someone burning alive sounds awful.]

[matchbreaker]

Yep, you got that one right!

[ She doesn't consider it a grand thing or a sad thing. The fact is that Elda is ... ] It doesn't matter, really. We have the whole night.

[firstaid]

Well, even humans can go out day or night. To be restricted to the night is so sad.

[Y E P. She doesn't even know what to do, but now her thoughts are distracted...]

So blood is really the only thing that you can have or has taste?

[Back to curiosity taking her over.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

Look, if we're really doing twenty questions, you might as well come in or I come with you as you're doing the whole inviting people thing.

[ See, she can be considerate! ]

[firstaid]

Really? [She's really happy to hear this!]

Why don't you come with me to the dining room, then!

[matchbreaker]

[ This kid.

Well, whatever. She holds up a finger and closes the door in Estelle's face, goes back into her room to get her key. She then opens the door again and comes out to lock it before giving a hand motion to say she'll go with her now ]

[firstaid]

[She sees the finger, believing it to be a signal to wait a moment until the door is closed... oh... maybe she was telling her to go away. Until she comes back out and motions for Estelle that she's coming with her.

With glee, Estelle starts to go with her to the dining room.]

I'm so glad you've decided to join us!
