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

[oyashiromama]

[Good mood notwithstanding, the last time Hanyuu and Elda talked was...a lot. A very heavy lot, and for a moment she's hesitant to approach her.

"I don't have anyone. I haven't had anyone for a long time."

She...should be overjoyed to share that's no longer the case, and she is but- but something about telling Elda, like betraying that quiet moment...

Shaking herself out of this indecision, Hanyuu walks over and sits across from her.]

You've investigated the vending machine too, I see.

[matchbreaker]

[ Hanyuu...

How does one even handle someone like her? ]

Yeah, yeesh, I got like twenty coins right off the bat! So I got what I got and I don't even know what half this stuff is.

[ She holds up the Bojobo Dolls ]

[oyashiromama]

Oh...a pair of dolls? [She examines them.] Aah, I could've sworn I've heard a legend about wishes and dolls like these, but I... Haa, I can't recall.

[matchbreaker]

They look like something from India or maybe Africa? I've never been.

[ Huff.

She sets those down and motions for Hanyuu to sit with her, even as she fiddles with the golden gun. Hanyuu can also appraise any of these items ]

[oyashiromama]

[The gun is definitely not going to be in her interest!! But she will examine the others, yes.]

Nor have I, aah... Oh, what's this? [The fan.] Why... These were around when I was alive. You really got something so nice from that thing?

[matchbreaker]

[ Still fiddling with the gun, she... winces, just a little, at the word "alive." But she pushes past it just as fast, putting a smile on her lips and with a "magnanimous" gesture, Elda says, ]

You can keep it if you want.

[ She's still trying to shoot this broken gun ]

[oyashiromama]

[She looks up from the fan.]

Really? B-but I've nothing to offer you in return.

[matchbreaker]

It's fine, it's fine! I'm not gonna use it anyway and we're friends or whatever, right?

[ Ha ha ha ha ]

[oyashiromama]

...Yes, that we are.

[Stop filling her with warm fuzzy feelings]

If I find something I think you'd like, I'll give it to you regardless, alright?

[matchbreaker]

Oh good, I'll be looking forward to it!

[ . . . She's not feeling 100% still, but she does smile animatedly at this ]

[oyashiromama]

[Hm... Something's off with Elda, but she can't quite tell what.]

...Aah, you really do have a lot though. Twenty of these, all at once?

[matchbreaker]

Oh yeah? How many'd you get?

[ This is clearly the better topic ]

I just had the coins next to my bed.

[oyashiromama]

Ten. You received twice as many... Do you have any idea how they got there? Mine too were just...sitting there.

[matchbreaker]

No, no idea, I jut woke up and poof, they're there.

[ TBH IT'S KIND OF SHADY... ]

Guess he likes me more.

[oyashiromama]

I don't think I mind that. Being liked by the man who kidnapped us is high on my list of desires.

[...lol]

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, it's a difficult burden to bear, even for someone as beautiful as me.

[ Brushes back hair ]

[oyashiromama]

A-aah, I meant it's not really...something to be proud of...

[SIGH fine]

Either way, if the prizes are this nice, maybe I should try it.

[matchbreaker]

I figured!

[ But then, pointing the golden gun at her... ]

I've not been doing anything special, though.

[oyashiromama]

[and then there's the gun...]

Please tell me...that can't fire.

[matchbreaker]

[ To demonstrate that in can't she pulls the trigger a few times. The trigger spring (among other things) is clearly broken ]

[oyashiromama]

[She can't help it- she jumps the first time, winces the second, and then just...stares.]

Yes, thank you for demonstrating.

[matchbreaker]

See, it's broken.

[ She sets it on the table and flicks it towards the other woman ]

Honestly a lot of it's junk - like what even is this?

[ SHE PICKS UP THE GAME DISC OR CARTRIDGE OR WHATEVER IT IS.

WHAT IS THIS ]

[oyashiromama]

[...She hasn't learned enough about video games to connect it.]

I...do not know, really. Pagan Dance...? What a strange name for an...anything.

[matchbreaker]

Seriously. it doesn't even look like a church thing.

[ She sets it down to instead just fiddle with the pen. The pen is actually pretty cool. ]
