WEEK 7.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 7 Oerba Dia Vanille, Phi, and Gangrel have joined the deceased, dropping your number even further. This is the second week that the death toll has risen by three, just by way of murder alone. With well over half of your number deceased, how much longer can this go on? 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... As before, it seems that door at the bottom of the stairwell has been unlocked, allowing you to descend even further into the depths of the university; perhaps the new floor holds something promising for you. Or perhaps you'll "christen" this one with another murder. Given the current pattern, that probably wouldn't be a surprise. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

his room

[foundfate]

[Well that certainly is an unusual sight. Surely it deserves some investigation!

He's just. Trying to peek in the crack of the door without being seen.]

[introspects]

[ right behind you watanuki! ]

What is he doing...?

[feistytrader]

[...Whatever it is, he seems satisfied with it after a moment and sets it aside, then digs through his trunk for his game player, which also plays music, and therefore a really shitty handheld rendition of Gold's DJ Mary CD.]

Come on. We can go in together.

[Polibo is with him, and looks pretty excited about this news! The two of them head off to the bathroom; the game system playing the music is set aside where it won't get wet while he goes to have some absolutely absurd bubble bath with Polibo. They're not really his style, but they seem to make Polibo happy, so that works out.

Now's the perfect time to investigate.]

[foundfate]

[This is an invasion of privacy.

Which means Watanuki is absolutely pushing the door open and going in, moving as quietly as he can. As soon as he's inside the door, he looks back to Orihime and motions for her to come in too.]

[introspects]

[ alright, we're stealthing this up; orihime comes in and immediately goes on over to where silver was writing to take a look at his notes. she's hoping it's nothing morbid... what will they find? ]

[feistytrader]

[There's... Quite a bit of writing on it, actually.

me out in an instant anyway. And besides that, I care about way too many of them now. Not that that’s something new. I barely even lasted two weeks. It should have been me I’m sorry Gold, I
Of course they came to me about it immediately.
I have no one to blame but myself.
Don’t drink the dragon piss. Or at least not that much.
We’re gonna lose someone else this week.
I don’t know what to do.
If I never accused Lusamine, would Gangrel have gotten away with it?
Looks like I have a knack for hurting the people I care about.
Thank fucking Arceus, Arceus didn’t kill us all.
I’ve still done a lot of bad, but I don’t have to take on his burdens anymore. The world’s okay. I need to focus on here, more than ever. I don’t know if everything’s going to be okay, but I want to believe in that possibility anyway. I want as many people to get out as possible. For the first time in weeks, I want to be one of them, too.
Am I reaching out too far?
The gold key didn’t work on either of those rooms. Maybe they’ll work better with the other ones.
They got our letters. We’re going to have to say goodbye to them eventually, but until then, I won’t let them down.
I still don’t have an answer for Gold. He says it’s fine if I don’t have one, though. Maybe I should just let it go?
Remember to talk to Guzma.
And Noir, too.
I spend a lot of time in the greenhouse. Maybe I should investigate it?

From the looks of it, there's definitely more, but that's the only page on his bed.]

[foundfate]

[Those sound like the writings of a very troubled person.

By the time he reaches the end of the page, Watanuki looks genuinely worried. Silver had mentioned some of this stuff to him, but most of it was new. Was he holding all of this in?

He looks up to Orihime, and he whispers to her:]

Did you know about any of this?

[introspects]

[ this is very troubling indeed. well..mostly some of the earlier notes. at least the ones towards the bottom of the page aren't as bad.. ]

No...I had no idea. I thought you would...

[feistytrader]

[Watanuki and Orihime have both slept in this room quite a lot; they'd know that there isn't anything kept under his bed, and besides that, there aren't too many places to look. The room's kept pretty tidy. We're not Kimbley, here; there aren't any freaky marker scribbles of madness covering the walls.

Will they be nosy and look for more pages of Silver's diary notes? Y/N]

[foundfate]

[Well that shipping chart on the wall is madness-

But yes let's go looking in the desk for more notes.]

[introspects]

[ yes we are gonna be nosy af ]

[feistytrader]

[There are no notes in the desk! Where to next?]

[foundfate]

[Wherever Silver is keeping all of his junk from the vending machine seems like a good place to look.]

[feistytrader]

[That would be the trunk! There isn't nearly as much stuff in there as there could be. All the junk he doesn't care about gets stashed in his room.

There are papers in there, too, but there's also a tiny corner of paper that's peeking out from under the trunk. Huh.]

[introspects]

[ oooooh, let's pull out that paper from under the trunk-- ]

[feistytrader]

[It's stuck! It will probably tear before it comes out cleanly. But the trunk, even with the stuff in it, isn't too heavy, either.]

[foundfate]

[Here, Watanuki will lift it up slightly, and Orihime can pull it out!]

[introspects]

[ sounds like a plan; tugging the note out now! ]

[feistytrader]

[Well, there's more than one note. There are many notes.

But hey, jackpot.]

[foundfate]

[Watanuki manages to get through about half of the names before he feels like he can't breathe anymore.

He's whispering to Orihime again.]

We shouldn't be reading this. He'll kill us if he knows we saw it.

[introspects]

[ crap, crap--he's right. this is...this is so hard to read. she freezes before she turns to watanuki, collecting the papers again. ]

Let's put it back.

[feistytrader]

[Surprise! Silver's opening the bathroom door and peeking back into his room. He's got a towel in his hair and everything, and Polibo looks pretty pleased. He jumps a little at first and ducks back into the bathroom for a moment because he isn't expecting to see anyone in his room, but once the reflex passes, he looks back into the room and realizes it's Orihime and Watanuki.]

You guys could have knocked, you...

[Know. Are those...? What the hell happened in here?]

...Oh. I guess not.

[Well, uh. Shit.]

[foundfate]

[Those papers are immediately going behind Watanuki's back. Maybe there's half a chance that Silver didn't realize what they were reading?]

Silver, hi! S-sorry about that, we were looking for you and your door was open.

[introspects]

[ oh man, what timing. u n l u c k y. orihime tries to play it cool like watanuki, though she's not...as good about it... ]

H-He's right! We were just, um, wanting to see if you had anything to eat yet?!

[feistytrader]

[...He pauses for a long moment, then scoops up both the game system and Polibo in his arms.]

If you guys want to finish reading those, then fine.

[And with that, he moves around them and climbs back up on the bed, because what the hell else is he supposed to do, at this point.]
