trusthell | WEEK 2.

WEEK 2
Adelina and Kyrie Ushiromiya are dead.

Regardless of how you felt about them and whether or not you mourned their passing, life goes on. It seems the Wordsmith intends to make good on the rules he's left for you all.

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...

Either way, it seems there's nothing to do but move on - or, perhaps, move down. Another door in that holding area near the elevator seems to have opened up, leading into a corridor and a stairwell that seems to lead you somewhere beneath the dormitories, and eventually onto a new floor altogether.

Go ahead and explore all you like; after all, you did well at completing your lessons this past week.

APPRENTICES REMAINING: 28

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Maybe he has a way of keeping it cold.

[She stares at how much Elda is carrying right now, frowning.]

I wonder how he does it, anyway.

Well a lot of those vending machines do... but t's not like some of the other stuff I've gotten is cold.

[ To be fair she's kinda wrapped a lot of it in on itself. Way too much for small arms to carry just in terms of awkward sizing ]

I wonder how the machine works...

Maybe I'll ask the Wordsmith.

[ Oh right- ]

You've been calling him?

I've been considering writing to him.

[She probably won't call because it would be a lot of yelling.]

Oh okay. Then yeah, go for it, girl!

[ Patting her...

... Sides.

She can't reach a shoulder or head or anything ]

I don't know how useful he'll be; he seems the sort to deliberately keep secrets.

But that machine doesn't seem like it would be an interesting secret to keep, I don't think.

Yeah, unless it's a lot more future-y than a lot of the stuff in here looks. But you're an alien, so.

It might be.

Gem technology is very advanced, but I don't know everything.

[She's like a high-ranking officer, not an engineer.]

Oh yeah? That's too bad.

[ Sheesh, don't even know your own technology! ~~she doesn't know what a TV is~~ ]

Either way looks like there's a lot of everything in there.

It does.

It makes me wonder how many more rooms there are, hidden in this place. I don't know much about human "universities", but this looks like a strange assortment of rooms so far.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Wordsmith knows more about advanced technology than I.

[ She immediately thinks something to the effect of "some space alien you are" but holds back from saying it. ]

Yeah? Or it's some sort of magic, who even knows.

[Don't be rude, Elda. She's a soldier, not a nerd.]

That is also possible.

[ SPACE ALIENS ARE NERDS... ]

Well, whatever. Not like we know anything now. You enjoy that-- Oh wait, did you get any coins and pop 'em in? What'd you get?

[ They did talk it a little but might as well see if anything was useful... ]

I did.

[........]

Where do you think they came from? I doubt the Wordsmith left his post to give them to us himself.

I dunno, maybe he's invisible. But then I would've smelled 'em.

That might explain why we haven't found him, but he can't hide forever.

[......]

Would you really be able to smell him if he was invisible?

Of course, of course!

[ A haughty laugh! ] What self-respecting vampire couldn't?

[ . . She might not be able to right now, but ]

[..........]

Can you smell me?

[I MEAN SHE DOESN'T HAVE A HEARTBEAT SINCE SHE'S NOT ORGANIC LIFE BUT]

[ . . . DO GEMS HAVE BLOOD?

OR ANY SECRETIONS?

OR SMELL LIKE ANYTHING?

... IDEK BUT SHE'S SURE TRYING... ]

[...WELL

SHE MIGHT KINDA SMELL LIKE A ROCK? DO ROCKS SMELL?]

[ NOT... REALLY...

Still, she laughs and- ]

You know, I should've seen that coming, but you don't have blood, do you?!

[...if it helps, Jasper actually laughs, too.]

Our bodies are not organic, no.

Sheeesh, no wonder you're so solid!

[ till laughing, she waves a dismissive hand. ]

You don't smell like that much, no.

[Well... there is that!]

I suppose it makes sense that we wouldn't.
