Week 9.

[trustharder]

WEEK 9 For the first time since your stay in the Vault began, no one died this week. That doesn't mean there weren't casualties among you, however – namely, trust, interpersonal relationships, and comfort in the group dynamic as a whole. Hopefully no one else pays the price for it. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. You're safe for now – unless your dreams have told you otherwise... SURVIVORS REMAINING: 10

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week nine of Trustfell! Save your threads for coins; don't forget to submit your memory regains! There is no activity check this week!

THE FINAL INVESTIGATION BEGINS ON THURSDAY!
THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO REDEEM COINS!
The text and calling posts are still active, for the sake of contacting the jerk who's keeping you here, to be used at your leisure!]

[ Well, that's not an expression or tone he ever wants to see or hear from Yosuke again—that much he's sure of. In some ways, it reminds him of the other guy's habit of spouting bullshit... which isn't pleasant, and he slumps back in his seat a bit.

(Asshole.)

...Sigrun doesn't seem in the mood for talk for the moment, watching her, and—dammit, that means he's up to bat, isn't he? ]

...I bet it would be. There's nothing like getting your flaws picked at in front of someone and then having them accept you back anyway, right? [ ...they should get off this topic. ] So, uh—do you have any ideas for your character? For the tabletop thing. Our nerd game.

[ #nailedit he is so not good at this topic change business but look, something nicer than this. ]

[garudynamic]

Heh, yeah. Funny thing is I had only known Yu for... what... two, three days at that point? Pretty damn embarrassing.

[But explains a lot about why he's so damn devoted to the guy- he still fought for him, still accepted him]

Oh, shit! I haven't even had time to look at the book much yet.

[penduli]

[ yeah just rub your old flame in his face yosuke it's fine ]

You can at least think about some basics. We won't be using that much math, since Miss Sigrun doesn't want it, so I think it's safe to say we can just pick class and race based on our aesthetic.

I'm torn between paladin and bard, personally. I'd have to really sing if I was the latter though--that's the rule.

[garudynamic]

Wait, you really have to sing?! Sigrun, that's mean. I mean you could play the piano but I don't think it'll fit in the game room.

[penduli]

[ WH ]

I can sing without accompaniment! I just sound bad and dumb and... [ ... ] I wouldn't want to sing to everyone anyway, just y--

[ nnNOPE. clearing his throat, nope. ]

It's class rules, usually. Just like how paladins can't stray from their lawful good alignment. Well, they can, but they'll lose their holy power. [ ...you know.

he sounds like such a nerd. he's become self aware. better than the alternative conversation of "do you want to pick up where we left off at the meeting" ]

[garudynamic]

[Nerd talk is a much better option then face touching, obviously]

But that doesn't mean we have to actually act them out, do we? [He's regretting starting this at all now]

[captainobnoxious]

[It's a little distracted, but she'll answer that.]

That's what makes this fun, lazybones.

[penduli]

Yeah. [ Live a little, Yosuke. ] It's fun though, and everyone looks just as dumb as you do roleplaying aloud, so don't worry.

[garudynamic]

Ngh.... okay, okay fine. Still doesn't help me pick a class or whatever.

[He takes back the player's guide, flipping through it]

What do you think would be good?

[penduli]

Whatever you'd think would be fun to play. [ HE'S NO HELP HERE, YOSUKE. ] If I was playing seriously, I'd probably go for sorcerer or something—they've got a ton of spells, they can have familiars if they want, they're fairly intelligent and that makes learning more about the world easier because you can roll checks on pretty much anything to see how much your character knows about it.

You can get away with that too if your character's been a shut in or had a lot of time to read or whatever too. [ a shrug. ] It's up to you. I probably wouldn't peg you as a cleric-type or something though. Your luck's a little awful, and we really don't need our healer to have that if we're in a battle and we're all about to die or something because Miss Sigrun thinks it'd be cool of us to face a Beholder or... whatever the equivalent here is, I guess.

[ .......... ] Beholders are generally bad business, by the way. Dragons, too.

[captainobnoxious]

Dragons are easy to beat.

[...]

Dig a ditch, slice their underside. Shower in their blood and you shall gain invulnerability, taste it and you shall learn the languages of the birds. Eat a dragon's heart and you will gain wisdom beyond mankind.

[garudynamic]

[He was looking at the Rogue write up, but once he saw the back-stab mechanics he flipped away. Look, he doesn't wanna be associated with stabbing more then he has to be right now-!]

Do they blow things up? I kinda wanna blow things up.

...and I'm not eating a dragon that sounds gross.

[penduli]

[ He's that type of player.............. ]

They can. [ They're going to have so many explosions...... ] Wizards too. There's some difference between them, I'm pretty sure, but it's been a while since I played.

If you pick up tinkering you can make bombs and things like that too. [ ... ] Exploding arrows. Cool stuff.

[captainobnoxious]

Also it's not gross! You cook the heart before you eat it. The flesh is supposed to give you strength too, I think, but it's hard to scrape off the scales. Think of it like eating a lizard. Ever had one before?

[Someone is sounding in better spirits.]

[penduli]

[ well we're all glad you're in better spirits sigrun but— ]

Oh, if that's all it is, then it really isn't so bad. [ ...black no??? ]

[garudynamic]

No I HAVEN'T eaten lizard!!

[But 'scaling' makes him think fish and thinking of fish makes him think of EATING fish and thinking of eating fish, with their blank jelly eyes and slimy guts and cold flesh-

-excuse him, he needs a moment]

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

I didn't think you'd react that badly to it. Sheesh, I won't make you eat one if you're that scared of them.

[garudynamic]

I-it's not the dragon part, s-sorry.

[He's gonna put his head down now]

[captainobnoxious]

[Er.

She'll... pat his back?]

Anyway, don't worry about it, I won't make anything too hard for you guys. I'm learning too after all. Just pick what'd be fun for you to act out and then give it your all!

[garudynamic]

[Sorry Sigrun, maybe he'll explain later- though he has a feeling she'll just find it funny]

Okay then... wait, Black you said something about arrows?

[penduli]

[ ...she probably would. ]

Yeah. Exploding arrows. [ ........ ] You probably won't be able to make them though, and even then, you'd only be able to use them if you used a bow.

[ Crossbow is probably not... a great idea for that... exploding bolts sounds like a horrible idea? Fantasy or not? ]

There's a couple classes that can, with ranger chief among them.

[captainobnoxious]

If it's cool enough I'll allow it.

[flip page]

[garudynamic]

Actually a bow sounds pretty cool. This other persona user I met used a bow and she was scary. It was a fight to even get close to her. Might be a fun change.

Do rangers get anything cool?

[Can they blow stuff up?]

[penduli]

[ SIGRUN YOU you are.... making this game easy and fun, that's fine, he's not actually that much of a stickler for the rules. ]

You can have a pet? [ ...that's cool right. ] It... you know what, since Miss Sigrun's DMing by the rule of cool, you can probably make it anything as long as she thinks your backstory with it's awesome enough.

[garudynamic]

I want a raptor.

[Yosuke no]
