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

....er.

[There's nails there! And a hammer! They're just...on the floor. Over there. And the nails sticking out of the sad wood pile, they're bent.]

They're around, I'm sure.

[ Around...

Give her a few moments, and she'll find those nails and the hammer on the floor. And when she returns, she actually looks...mildly upset?! ]

Watanuki-kun, you have to be more careful! What happens if you step on one of these and it pierces through your foot?!

Well I have shoes now.

[Except he's not wearing them in his room.]

And I was going to clean up when I was done anyway.

It can still go through your shoes if you aren't careful!

[ JUST. POUTING SO HARD AT YOU ]

[Oh noooo not the pouting!]

Okay, okay! I'll clean it up when we're done, AND I'll be more careful next time.

Good! You'd better! Find a container you can put those in, or leave them on your desk, okay?

[ GET MOM'D ON ]

[Noooooo!]

I guess I can find a can or something, in the kitchen.

[He's already scooping up the nails to put on his desk for now, though.]

There, that's the spirit! Better to be safe while you're working so hard.

[ And there's her usual grin to replace her mom face! ]

[Gah stop you're embarrassing him.]

I-It's not that hard of work, I haven't even gotten any results yet!

[As in, he's not working hard. Not that the work itself isn't hard.]

Hm? You had to carry that all back up here, didn't you? Plus, you're trying to figure out how to do something you don't know how to do. Isn't that considered working hard?

[ At least she thinks so!! That's the only way you can grow, after all! ]

[When she puts it that way, it's hard to argue with her. But Watanuki isn't giving up on that point yet, he's still stubborn.]

If I can get something at least somewhat usable out of it, then I'll consider it 'working hard'.

[ Orihime claps her hands together, just once, and gives him another one of her determined!! shounen!! looks. ]

You have to believe in yourself, Watanuki-kun! The wood gods would want you to chase your dreams of creating the perfect kimono hanger!

[Oh shit that shounen spirit, it's working Watanuki up too.]

But why would the wood gods care about something mundane like that?!

[Clearly the most important detail there.]

Because you're putting a part of them into your work, aren't you?!

[ COME ON WATANUKI GET WIDDIT ]

[He can't!]

That's for stuff like houses and bridges! Why would they want to live in a kimono rack?!

Well, they don't have to live in it, do they? The wood gods will bless anything that you ask them to, even something as small as this!

[ PLS ]

Well...I guess not.

[Watanuki suddenly makes a frustrated noise, and then he claps his hands together to an 'I'm praying' gesture.]

Fine, fine! Let's pray to the wood gods then!

[Aggressive praying is a go!]

Yes! Let's do it!

[ LOOK AT THESE WEIRDOS....Orihime is seriously praying though????

After several moments of this, she opens her eyes and balls her hand into a fist, pumping it into the air. ]

Alright! We're ready to go, now!

[He had still been praying, so his hands are still clasped as he looks over to Orihime.]

Are you sure? I don't see any wood gods.

[Though he knows now that their powers have been turned off anyway, so.]

Well...hopefully they've heard our prayer, somehow.

[ it should have worked. Trust ]

Anyway! Why don't we get to work?

[Okay, he'll trust you there Orihime.]

Right, let's give it a try.

[Don't rely on Watanuki too much though, he has no idea what he is doing.]

That's the spirit!

[ Alright!! Let's do dis

She'll help her with holding the pieces together, grabbing any tools he needs, etc. She's never built something from scratch before but now is a good time to learn. She'd feel terrible for making him do this alone, anyway. ]

[Two newbie builders, trying to build a stable rack. Well, it's the thought that counts, right?

After a half-hour of holding pieces together and jamming more nails into things, they finally have something that might resemble a kimono rack. Maybe. If you squint a little.

Watanuki steps back to look over their work.]

I think this should work, as long as it doesn't fall over again.

[ It's a lot of fiddling around, a lot of "new builder wat dis" going on, but they've at least managed to make...something. Something usable, hopefully, even if it looks a little janky. ]

Y...Yeah...! Look at that... We did it!

[ it's not perfect by any means but she's still pretty happy with their work! ]

[They did it. They made A Thing.]

...

I suppose we should test it out.
