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!]

paging glory (i'm so sorry)

[captainobnoxious]

[Sigrun has worked hard on some character sheets for everyone! Aren't they simple and cute? She's written on the bottom some handy things:

Game Room fun tomorrow at 2pm!
Come play a single adventure, hosted by me, Sigrun Eide!
Guaranteed fun!
(ARM is armor rating (see: equipment) and LNGS is languages your character knows!)

... Additionally, there's a small arrow --> pointing to flip over, where Black's familiar small and neat handwriting streams across the back of the character sheets. It's new info!

After passing all those under the doors of the living, the two stop by the vending machine. Sigrun seems to want to push the vending machine over, though, judging by how she's debating that "it has to be emptier now than it was when we got here, let's see what's behind it" to Black's slight dismay.

They're are going back up to the conference room sometime after Yosuke's gone! Sigrun draws a little troll with about ten legs jutting out from the rib area on a human and a jaw past its... "knees" before writing a list.

hi glory!! :D just business today, sorry!
1. can you tell me more about ambitious? km is familiar with him too
2. do you know why people choose to stay here?
3. can you get ambitious to talk to us actually
i know we shouldn't trust him but i still want to talk to him
4. we can't get in contact with our dead friends. do you know why? or can you find out why?
5. relating to ^ that, if we end up not being able to get in contact with them in any way, will you convey messages to and from us?

... She's happy to have learned a bigger smile.]

hi sigrun

[trustharder]

HELLO, SIGRUN! :)
1. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
2. PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE INSANE.
3. THAT ISN'T A GOOD IDEA.
4. KM PROBABLY DID SOMETHING.
5. I CAN TRY.

[captainobnoxious]

[What helpful answers.]

about ambitious:
1. do you know if he's working with km this round?
2. or if he did work with km. like you did, apparently. black told me! it's okay though
3. i remember that apparently he isn't supposed to be dead? do you know anything about that
or is that his crazy acting up
4. what kind of person is he besides crazy and not trustworthy? and a killjoy

i was thinking km did something but i can't figure out what he could've done
not even beamy (colress's psychic pet-friend) can make contact with them
he could do it before

[... She'll give a kind of half-assed drawing of the Beheeyem. That isn't her forte. Shadowy creatures from someone's nightmare are.]

thanks for everything else though even if i want to talk to ambitious, good idea or not
unless it's not a good idea because you'd get hurt
then that's a good reason not to

[trustharder]

1+2: HE HAS NEVER WORKED WITH KM.
3. THAT IS HIS CRAZY ACTING UP. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.

[...]

4. HE IS A BAD PERSON.
NOT LIKE NORMA BATES IS A BAD PERSON.
LIKE METTATON IS A BAD PERSON.
AND HE HURT ONE OF MY FRIENDS.
HE DID IT FOR LOVE, THOUGH.
SO HE IS ALSO THE SORT TO DO STUPID THINGS FOR LOVE.

[captainobnoxious]

[... so sigrun's the good person, glory's the neutral person, and ambitious is the bad person. wow.]

man we sure are a trio here aren't we
doing stupid shit for love
at least i didn't kill anyone like you two did, or so it sounds
what made him snap? did someone hurt his loved one?

[trustharder]

SOMEONE KILLED HIS LOVED ONE.

[Idle swirls, followed by quick doodles of a pair of knives.]

IT WASN'T A CLEAN DEATH, EITHER.

[captainobnoxious]

[... Ooooooooooooh.]

was he crazy before they died?

[trustharder]

YES.

[captainobnoxious]

so it definitely did not help
got it
okay
would he hurt one of my dead companions without warning?

[trustharder]

WITH NO WARNING, YES.
BUT NOT FOR NO REASON.

[captainobnoxious]

good. we'd have a problem if he did that, then
like i would
i'd fight him, death be damned

[Tap tap tap.]

why ISN'T it a good idea to get in contact with him, anyway?

[trustharder]

KM HATES HIM.

[captainobnoxious]

oh
why?
and isn't that even more of a reason then?
does ambitious hate him too?

[are you telling her there's some fuckin dead drama up in here

c'mon glory spill the beans ghostfriend

give her the 411]

[trustharder]

YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT KM EVEN MORE MAD AT YOU THAN HE ALREADY IS.

[captainobnoxious]

glory, glory, glory.
glory glory, glory glory glory,
glory.

[... Was that necessary, Sigrun.]

there's no reward without risk, we're going to die anyway, and i'd rather do something than nothing at all
please tell me how to get in contact with ambitious
i'll be careful

[trustharder]

NO.

vending machine

[isafraid]

[...Sigrun, please don't push the vending machine over just yet, some of us have coins we're still working on.]

Hey, miss Sigrun! Black! [He likes to still see friendly faces about. The halls are a bit empty nowadays...]

Looking to cash in some more coins, eh?

[captainobnoxious]

Oh, fluffhead! Nope. Just trying to convince kitten that it'll be easy to shove this thing to the side now.

[With minimal success.]

[isafraid]

Shove it... [Oh.... what?] Wait, you're talking about there being something behind there, right? You're just thinking about pushing the whole thing over?

[He... never thought of that.]

[penduli]

She tried in our first week, too, actually. [ He was there. He remembers. ] She thinks there's a secret passageway behind it or something like that.

[captainobnoxious]

It's the best place to put it because no one'd think to look there.

[She's still sure as can be, see.]

[isafraid]

S-still, you're just looking to push the whole thing over? [...] I can't say that's a terrible idea.

[Yeah, he's on your side with this, Sigrun.]

Granted, seeing as it's our one supplier of stuff that's not the Kingmaker, can't say I'm all for this idea until we can tell for sure there's something behind it.

[captainobnoxious]

Falling over won't break it. I think. It'll just rattle everything inside.

[... Probably.]

Maybe we'll actually get something to fall out.

[Like. This thing legitimately will not move, but still. Good luck Sigrun.]

[penduli]

If you accidentally break it, we're probably not getting another. I can't imagine he'd be willing to pay for another this late in the game.

[captainobnoxious]

I think he told me once that he wouldn't replace it earlier in the game, too. So not to break it. Or anything else.

[... She's still leaning her shoulder against it though, braced and ready to go.]
