WEEK 2.

[trustwellness]

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

Ooh, that wouldn't be a bad idea...

[ ALRIGHT she's gonna start moving towards the kitchen, then! ] Okay! To the kitchen we go~!

[quadruples]

[ He'll tag along, of course. Once they get to the kitchen he pulls out one of the cutting boards from a drawer and picks up a knife from the knife block. Let's cut this thing in half, Orihime. ]

[introspects]

[ Alright! Go for it, Viktor--

when he does, the inside...doesn't look any less threatening than the outside does. It actually makes it look even less appealing to eat, actually. Orihime blinks at it, stares at it for a good moment...and then decides that maybe this isn't such a good idea after all. ]

...I don't know, Nikiforov-san... It looks kind of...weird.

[quadruples]

...Yeah. [ He's looking a little unsure about this as he sticks a finger into the pulp. The texture is kind of weird too, and the sweet smell is almost overwhelming. ]

But I don't think the Wordsmith would actually put anything poisonous in the machine. We're here to play his game; poisoning us would be pointless, wouldn't it?

[introspects]

...Wait...

[ That just...that just gives her an idea-- ]

Maybe Wordsmith-san would put poisonous things in the machine, so we can use them against each other!

[quadruples]

That's true. But wouldn't they be labeled as poisonous, in that case? I can see him putting bottles of poison in the machine, but a random poisonous fruit would run the risk of an accidental death. I think he'd prefer to avoid those.

[introspects]

That's...a good point.

[ Goodness, it smells really good, but do they want to eat it??? Do they??? ]

I still don't have a good gut feeling about this, though...

[quadruples]

[ He breaks off a penny-sized piece of the pulp

and

puts it in his mouth. ]

[introspects]

[ oh

my goodness ]

N--Nikiforov-san!!

[ DON'T COLLAPSE OR DIE ON HER ]

[quadruples]

...

[ There's a pause solely for effect. ]

...It's delicious!

[introspects]

...Eh? R-Really?

[ Why does it look so.........bad.....

But she'll trust his judgment on this one and also break off some pulp before putting it into her mouth. ]

...It's...It's amazing! It's a new realm of sweetness!

[quadruples]

Вкусно~ [ He breaks off another, larger piece and eats it. ]

I've never eaten a fruit this sweet before.

[introspects]

[ Okay. forget breaking off pieces; Orihime's going to take over the cutting board, slicing the fruit into mostly even pieces at the speed of light! This thing is so good, okay, and she can't wait to have more!

There's an equal amount for the both of them on the cutting board. ]

Alright, there we go! Now it's more convenient to pick up the pieces! Let's dig in!

[quadruples]

[ ...bless you, Orihime, you are the best. Viktor picks up one of the pieces and bites into it, licking his lips as the juices begin to trickle down. ]

Do you think we should keep the seeds? An undiscovered species could be worth a fortune if we brought them home after we get out of here.

[introspects]

We should!

[ They're going to become millionaires!! ] That's brilliant! We'll make a fortune off of these, won't we?!

[quadruples]

If we can find the right people to sell them to, then yes, we should be able to earn a nice sum of money.

[ they're going to be rich!! ...or richer, in Viktor's case. ]

[introspects]

You know, I'd actually love to become a farmer and grow crops of these in a backyard! I don't have one right now, but I've always wanted to do something cool like that...heh....
