WEEK 4.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 4 Three more have died this past week. Milla Maxwell was killed for breaking a rule, Chiyuki was murdered, and you all had a hand in executing Yoshikage Kira. It seems like this isn't going to stop any time soon. How many more will join them this week? 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... Despite the Wordsmith's reaction to the last trial, it seems as though you've been rewarded once again for a job that was...well, it was done, even if he didn't explicitly say it was well-done. Another door has opened in that stairway, it seems, leading you further down into the building; once again, there are more rooms down there, more things to occupy yourselves with. Or perhaps just more means to get creative with regards to how you take initiative with your fellow Apprentices. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 23 APPRENTICES REMAINING: 22 APPRENTICES REMAINING: 20

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ Is this the new ventgate? How curious...but that aside he'll pay close attention when he mentions the things that are brand new. ]

That is quite strange. But, no, I don't remember seeing a plate with that logo anywhere.

I'm guessing that something probably did take it though, just not us if no one ends up saying they did.

[acherontiastyx]

I guess either the shadow monster or the Wordsmith must have it now, if there's not... just some kind of reset button were everything's suddenly brand new again.

[tsugomori]

Yes. Hopefully there is not some unorthodox usage of a time loop going on here. It would be very difficult to make sense of... probably.

[acherontiastyx]

Listen, I told y'all about time travel and weird time garbage. It's not worth it.

[tsugomori]

Hmm, yes, messing around with time itself isn't at all...

[ He'll smile a little at that, at the very least, seeming a tad bit pleased to hear it. ]

[acherontiastyx]

...I watched this movie once where like. A scientist went back in time, and when he went back to the future, he'd changed something so now bug Pokemon had taken over the world.

[tsugomori]

... Why would he do something like that? It wasn't by accident, was it? It sounds like it would be very inconvenient.

[ ... And gross. Very gross. No thank you to bugs ruling the world!! ]

[acherontiastyx]

It was by complete accident. Apparently messing with the past can change the entire course of history even if you just kick over the wrong rock or something.

...

But I mean, it was a movie.

[tsugomori]

[ He'll consider something, turning over a thing in his head, before realizing he kind of... is out of the loop just a little. ]

Guzma? What is a movie?

[acherontiastyx]

...Oh. It's like. Moving pictures. Kind of like a play, I guess? Except you can watch it whenever you like.

[tsugomori]

Oh, I see, I see...

[ .... Pauuuuse. ]

It's true. One little thing can change the course of history. I mean, haha... not with like kicking over a rock or anything, but, sometimes even someone's minor action can make a regrettable change.

[acherontiastyx]

Well, I mean, if you kick a rock and it accidentally kills the Pokemon that's gonna have the DNA mutation that's gonna lead to humans, that means you've destroyed humanity. Or something.

[tsugomori]

...Well, I...

[ Mikazuki is trying not to laugh because time travel is serious business, but he'll give an inelegant snort and then raise his hands to cover his mouth with a sheepish expression. ]

...Hahaha, ah, excuse me. But, I suppose you do have a point.

I think some of my friends back home may find what you said to be just a bit amusing, though.

[acherontiastyx]

...aw, man, don't tell me your friends are all wrapped up in weird time garbage.

[tsugomori]

Well, yes, you could say that...

[ Mikazuki's voice is quieter here, but . . . ]

I'm quite used to fighting against an enemy who is trying to change history.

[acherontiastyx]

...you're not yanking my chain?

[...]

Nah, probably not. Dang. That's some heavy stuff.

[tsugomori]

No, I'm not.

...Yes, well, my friends and I back home tried to make the best of it. Kind of like how we are trying to make the best of this situation now, except here there isn't as much as a lull, and it seems the Wordsmith is more of a threat somehow than the History Revisionists.

[acherontiastyx]

Well, I guess rewriting history is gonna affect way more people in the long run, but the Wordsmith is all up in our faces right now. So. You know.

[tsugomori]

[ He'll nod. ]

Ha...certainly and he's actually seeming to get some of what he wants right now. But oh well, I know that won't last forever.

[ Or he hopes it won't!! ]

[acherontiastyx]

We really need to figure out the best way to stick it to him. There's gotta be something.

[tsugomori]

We challenge him to a battle. His honor may compel him to foolishly show his face, and then we all beat him up at once~

[ ...Mikazuki, please be serious here-- ]

[acherontiastyx]

...

I mean, I already asked him to fight me and he said no, so.

[tsugomori]

Well, that isn't any surprise, I suppose.

[ ... Because Mikazuki's bar for the Wordsmith to reveal his face is always at an all-time low (it's next to "spontaneously decides to send everyone home" just for the record). ]

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, my expectations are negative for that dude ever showing up unless we hunt him down.
