WEEK 4.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 4 Three more have died this past week. Milla Maxwell was killed for breaking a rule, Chiyuki was murdered, and you all had a hand in executing Yoshikage Kira. It seems like this isn't going to stop any time soon. How many more will join them this week? 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... Despite the Wordsmith's reaction to the last trial, it seems as though you've been rewarded once again for a job that was...well, it was done, even if he didn't explicitly say it was well-done. Another door has opened in that stairway, it seems, leading you further down into the building; once again, there are more rooms down there, more things to occupy yourselves with. Or perhaps just more means to get creative with regards to how you take initiative with your fellow Apprentices. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 23 APPRENTICES REMAINING: 22 APPRENTICES REMAINING: 20

O-oh. He didn't...travel like you did, aah, I understand.

[elepe]

[thank you for being the inspiration for next monday's thread]

...You know, that's an excellent point. It won't be perfect, but I'm certain that the materials would be able to create a good enough effigy. I'll have to see if I can make one.

[plentyfriendly]

The other rule of the Decision Game is that the players are only ever awake for 90 minutes at a time, thanks to another bit of special equipment we had.

oh god i think i lost this at some point

[elepe]

[...Hanyuu, did you just--]

Well, I'm certain that she would be complimented that you were doing as well as you could, within your means. Don't you think that counts for something?

[tsugomori]

[ MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT YET ]

Ah, if you do, I do think I won't mind helping you out. Something like that sounds like it'd be quite the good amount of stress relief~

[foundfate]

Hanyuu...

[So they jump worlds, trying to find one in which Rika doesn't die? That sounds painful.]

How long have you been doing that?

[trustwellness]

[NO.]

[officerhops]

Oh! Thank you.

[Judy's ears perk a little and she turns away from her papers so she can focus her attention on Vanille fully, hoping that she'll be able to find a seat on the edge of her bed past all the papers.]

That was sweet of you, Vanille.

[acherontiastyx]

[hell yes, you are now Boris's new favorite non-Guzma person.]

Yeah, definitely. They're really great, and I'm glad I have most of them back. It was... way too quiet before I got 'em back, you know?

[officerhops]

...you're right, actually.

[She hadn't even considered that, not that she thinks she'd need a transfusion any time soon. At least, she sure hopes she doesn't.

Judy walks over either way, her gaze narrowing at the blood in Elda's glass.]

I'm not sure how I'd even be able to tell what was human and what was animal, though. Maybe our resident doctor would have a better idea.

[officerhops]

[Judy nods a little, taking the arrow carefully in her paw.]

...and if I hit something other than the dummy?

[Like the wall...or ceiling...]

[officerhops]

Oh no, it's fine.

[Judy's ears swivel a bit once Hanyuu's hand moves. She didn't even realize it was still there. ...huh.]

At least you don't go around petting me and talking to me like a baby, unlike some animals might.

[matchbreaker]

Rabbit blood isn't some strange color or something...? No, of course not. [ She hums, picking out some other random bags, checking their labels. ... No, there's not a lot of insight to be found here. Man.

... Sip from her glass ]

Yeah, that could be a serious problem if someone stabs you.

[elepe]

I'll be certain to leave the sewing room door open for you, then. I'll make it the best effigy anyone's ever seen!

[tsugomori]

Then it sounds like quite the plan. I can't wait to see how it'll look.

Oh, and I'm sure others may love to see it as well, ha ha ha.

[ He can only imagine, honestly, after that week... ]

[elepe]

It'll be the perfect stress relief. Why, if we managed to create more of these, perhaps that would assist in turning people away from murder...

[why murder people when you can murder dolls!! of people!! who are murderers!!]

[neverheardofhim]

Oh really. [Leaning ever closer.] Who's the lucky person?

[neverheardofhim]

[Varric smiled, chuckled even. He motioned to the extra arrows, then shrugged.] ]

Then you try again. And again after that. If I have to make more later, so be it.

[oyashiromama]

Wh-what...?! How... What did that accomplish?!

no worries bro!

[oyashiromama]

[hanyuu is very tired]

...That's my hope. For...it to do her some justice... [She sighs gently.] I- I apologize, I've intruded on your swimming time, haven't I?

[elepe]

Not at all, Ms. Furude. If anyone should be apologizing for that, it's me for cutting into your prayer.

[It's no thang.]

I must admit, I am curious as to what it involved...would it be fine to ask you for an explanation?

[oyashiromama]

We went back six years first...and then five, three times, to try and stop...other people from dying too.

[She closes her eyes.]

We...we haven't been able to save anyone.

[oyashiromama]

Pride?

[oyashiromama]

[Well, awww...! He's much more receptive than Masquerain, hello there Boris!]

I...can only imagine. If you're used to growing up with them... How many do you have? You...drew pictures, didn't you? Before?

[oyashiromama]

O-other animals do...?

[That's a bit of a surprise to her.]

I would've thought...they would understand, yes...?
