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

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[OOC: Welcome to week four of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Wordsmith, you can do so through letters or the switchboard!]

[officerhops]

Oh...thanks.

[She laughs breathlessly, rubbing her upper arm.]

I had to do a lot of training at the academy. They wanted us to be ready to take on dangerous criminals and stuff, you know.

[trustwellness]

[Where are you looking in here, exactly?]

[trustwellness]

[Where do you want to start looking in here?]

[alchemicals]

[Don't worry, man, your reputation's safe with him.]

Trust me, I know - as it is, my dreams don't need the help.

[...Memories went badly last night, um.]

judy's room

[ravagers]

[ She slips into the kitchen before it closes to make a couple cups of tea; Vanille's picked rosehip tonight, and she hopes Judy will like it, too. She nudges the door open with a hip and peeks in. ]

Judy?

[plentyfriendly]

[Let's start with the beds. Anything unusual about these?]

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah. If you need me to beat the crap out of someone, I'm your man.

[right. gonna hold it up, steady himself, and then nod.]

[quadruples]

[ He notices that the usual spunk isn't present, and he definitely understands why, but this leaves him in the somewhat awkward position of not being sure of what to do. He's not good at dealing with people when they're feeling down and he knows it. ...Maybe offering her a distraction will help? ]

Do you want to look at pictures of my dog?

[ Makkachin is cute. Girls love cute things. ]

[alchemicals]

[thankfully, he did not completely eat shit, that would have been moderately humiliating.]

I had a lot of energy when I was a teenager, I tended to get it out by way of stupid amounts of physical activity.

[tsugomori]

That's understandable.

[ ... He saw that pout, so his attention is diverted from this now, and he steps unconsciously a little closer. ]

Miss Estelle, is there something wrong?

[alchemicals]

You know what, at least that makes one of us that isn't completely confused. Congratulations, sincerely.

[sportadork]

Of course! [that's a hilarious mental image... but don't tell her that] I'm sure the villains didn't even know what hit them!

[tsugomori]

[ ... Or Mikazuki is just being Mikazuki (tm); it's probably for the best though. ]

Ahh, I see, I see.

Anyway, you know what happens, and... do you mind me asking what it was? Or is that a little too much?

[feistytrader]

[He's still not really sure why she needs a bathing suit in the first place, but whatever makes her happy.]

It's really nice. I could stay in here all day.

[He just might do exactly that, in fact.]

[matchbreaker]

[ ...! What're these?! They fall out and hit her feet (which still don't have shoes because of course they don't) and he reaches down to pick them up... ]

[plentyfriendly]

There was a bomb.

[This one not small enough to blow up Earth.]

I had the idea to use it to blast through a door that was welded shut, but Zero... improvised. He said it was against the rules.

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh, wait, ]

You remembered something new?

[ HOPE SHE DIDN'T SURPRISE YOU... ]

[feistytrader]

[...You know, the likelihood of something like that happening is incredibly low, but for some reason it makes him feel better anyway.]

Right. It might not be easy, but I'd like to make it out of here with as many of you as possible.

[sportadork]

[nods knowingly] I was the same way, when I was younger! I just never actually stopped.

[uncouthhatcher]

Fun's subjective, but uh. No. I... got them from the vending machine.

[WHICH IS... AWFUL, HONESTLY. WORSE MAYBE.]

Dunno what to do with all of 'em though. Figure I'll keep one and... do something with the others, feels kinda weird to have so many of 'em, especially since I ain't really into dolls.

[alchemicals]

If it works for you, then more power to you. Personally, I kind of had to stop for a while - not too much choice in the matter.

[...Prison does that.]

[plentyfriendly]

[HI there.]

New, horrible, and, at least in part, it doesn't make sense yet.

[trustwellness]

[They seem to be plain, ordinary paper! But there's actually something written on them... something you'll find familiar!]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Let's check the walls first, knocking against them with his Pokémon's help so they can cover more ground with this part anyway. Anything hollow sounding, like there's something behind it?]

library

[matchbreaker]

[ ELDA WALKS INTO A LIBRARY.

And she picks up one of the dolls between her long lady fingernails, shaking it a little bit. Wiggle, wiggle. She... ]

You got some of these too? Sheesh.
