WEEK 3.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 3 As the second week draws to a close, two more have joined the deceased. Christo and Alani are dead, leaving twenty-six of you remaining. It may not seem like very many have died, but their absence will certainly be felt. 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... Just like last week, a door in the stairwell has opened, leading you down further into the building; there are more rooms open to you down there - possibly even one that you'll find personally interesting. Go ahead and explore all you like; after all, you did well at completing your lessons this past week. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 26 APPRENTICES REMAINING: 25

If you'd like to get in contact with the Wordsmith, you can do so through letters or the switchboard!]

Mail Room

[Judy hasn't seen or spoken to Sportacus in...god, has it been a whole week? Maybe a little less since she saw him last Sunday...but she feels terrible about it regardless. It isn't long until she's finished her rounds and is seeking him out. She doesn't find him until a bit later in the day, in the mail room where she's usually either trying to think of something new to send the Wordsmith, or getting some extra pens and paper.

He looks so tired.]

Sportacus?

[sportadork]

[he looks up from his drawing and smiles at her.]

Hello, Judy! I hope you're feeling better. [... oh, he should add her, too! he returns to work.]

[officerhops]

Much better, actually.

[Judy nods a bit as she walks further into the mail room, immediately noticing the drawings Sportacus has been working on. Particularly, the soon-to-be caricature of herself.]

What are you up to this evening?

[sportadork]

Writing a letter to the Wordsmith! I am hoping he can give us a room to exercise in, without us having to pay the, ah, usual price for it.

[the price is death]

[officerhops]

[Yes, no more death please.]

That's a nice request. I don't see why he wouldn't grant something like that...assuming there already is a place like that...it looks like everything else is just blocked off right now.

[sportadork]

It would be very nice of him if he would just open up the whole place, but... [that's not ever happening.] I wonder how big this place will end up being. There have to be windows or doors eventually!

[officerhops]

[How optimistic...]

I really hope you're right. I was thinking it would just keep going up, but we have a downstairs floor now too. I'm not sure what else to expect, to be honest.

[sportadork]

It's all very strange. Do you think this was always a school? I'm not an expert, but I've never seen a school with so much alcohol in it.

[officerhops]

Oh no no, I really doubt that. This doesn't really follow the conventions of any school I've ever been to or heard of. I think he just calls it that to make it seem less like the prison it is.

[sportadork]

I think it makes it weirder. The way he acts like we're here to learn something.

[officerhops]

It's as weird as it is disconcerting.

[Judy frowns, coming a little closer to where Sportacus is still sitting, writing.]

The only thing we've learned is that some people will do anything to get their freedom back, especially if someone they are close to is on the line.

[sportadork]

It's not their fault. They never would have done something like that if they weren't here. [he says, very generously

taps his pencil...] All we really learned so far is that he's not a very nice man.

[officerhops]

[She scoffs.]

Not at all. But even then, I can't figure out what his motives are. It would be easy to just call him crazy and leave it at that, but...there has to be more to it. Don't you think?

[sportadork]

Nothing's ever so simple. [he smiles] I am sure you'll be the one to figure this all out.

[officerhops]

[Judy mirrors his smile, rubbing the back of her neck with his paw.]

I sure hope so...but I'm just one bunny. We're going to all have to work together.

[sportadork]

Of course! And anything you need, I'll be right behind you!
