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

Go right ahead, Sporty, ain't like I've got a lack of 'em.

[... Though he'll keep an eye on him anyways, even if Sportacus is the last person who'd even accidentally fuck up his dolls. They look just like Chiyuki! Except knit, not mannequin.]

[alchemicals]

[Take all the time you need, man.]

...I wouldn't mind that, maybe. It'd be something to do, anyway.

[trustwellness]

[It's big and bulky, but you can definitely pick it up! There doesn't seem to be anything under it or behind it, but there's a noise when you pick it up, like there's something heavier than letters inside.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[... What the actual fuck, hold on, is there a place he can pick a lock because he will definitely find something to pick a lock with if he can.]

billiards

[quadruples]

[ Viktor walks in, sees Gold and his Pokémon... and immediately pulls out his phone and snaps a picture. ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[As long as neither of them drown fighting in the water is perfectly Fine, BRING IT FOREST CHILD.]

[trustwellness]

[Unfortunately, you won't be able to pick the lock, you'll have to figure out something else! Breaking it won't work either, just so you know.]

[tsugomori]

[ Love is truly a really wonderful thing. Mikazuki would love to hear all about it too, especially things that bring smiles to people's faces. ]

My, my, it looks like Yuuri is quite the lucky fellow.

[ ... ]

Do you mind if I ask when was the moment you fell in love with him?

[acherontiastyx]

Why does his appearance have to match his inner soul or whatever, though? I mean, the point is that he's good on the inside and that's what really matters, so it shouldn't matter if he stays a big furry monster guy.

I mean, that and "beauty" is subjective as heck. Like, what if our heroine's really into big, hairy dudes and she's kinda disappointed he turns into a prettyboy?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Yeah, get a good shot of Aibo's SWEET POCKET!!!! IT WAS AN AWESOME TRICK SHOT AND Polibo is waving at Viktor!!! Hi Viktor, it's nice to see you again!!

Which gets Gold to look over, and he'll throw up a hand for Viktor too.]

Sup, dude! Whatcha doin'?

[deofoled]

Yeah, or we'd wind up like Millia.

[ He watches her more closely when she punches this time, and when she's done he reaches out to touch her hand.]

You want to punch with your knuckles, not the front of your fingers.

[uncouthhatcher]

[... Okay, breaking it was definitely his second idea, but it might not be a good idea anyway. Maybe he can get Aibo to shake it out? Those tailhands are wonderful.]

[plentyfriendly]

[Must save a lot on the cleaning bills around here. Actually that might make a lot of sense.

But it has to get into this room somehow, and she doubts it was through the hallways or they'd be closed at night. Any obvious vents in the walls, ceiling, or floor?]

[trustwellness]

[You absolutely can shake it! Aibo (or you, if you're paying close enough attention) will notice that the sound is confined to the bottom of the box. It doesn't sound like whatever is making that noise is bouncing all around the box, in other words.]

dojo;

[tsugomori]

[ He'll be coming right by, because the dojo is quite all the rage these days (on account of being somewhere new that he could try to practice being in shape). He watches the way she tries to throw those knives, and, well... ]

Hello Miss. Are you attempting to get in some practice?

[trustwellness]

[There are vents near the ceiling, they're small and you couldn't fit anyone through them, including Judy and Nick.]

[deofoled]

You said before that you didn't have a lot of sweets, right?

[ More noming and thinking.]

...maybe I should try to make candy soon.

[plentyfriendly]

[Let alone Gab. She still misses Gab. He's a good and chill doggo.

Now for the supply cabinets, presuming they exist. Although the bandages and thermometers and such have to be stored somewhere.

So aside from the obvious, is there anything? Unusual feelings if she reaches way into the back?]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Aibo has great hearing!! He'll pantomime about it to Gold, who is just so floored because what the hell could it be and how can he get to it.

... What's the bottom of this thing look like anyway. Is it just. A box bottom? Or is there something he can do here to see what's in the box. Maybe he should just get a flashlight and try to peer in, that'd be a good idea, he'll do that if the bottom's nothing special.]

[tsugomori]

...How many people were needed to be dead in order to open the door?

[ He figures he should ask, probably. Even if the answer is likely not going to be pretty. ]

[feistytrader]

[Water fight! Sadly, it's not as effective as he would have hoped, so he's soon coming back up to the surface for air and splashing Gold instead.]

[plentyfriendly]

Six.

[that's one less than the number of dead people here.]

[deofoled]

[ That's definitely a hit, as he wasn't expecting the action to be a feint. He also wasn't expecting to be grabbed, as it's a move he equates to someone like Red Magnus and not Mikazuki. All the swordmasters he's fought before have been nimble dodgey types, and this is more a move of a wrestler or fighter. Killia's also not terribly heavy either, and there's momentum coming into play too.

So they totally do hit the ground, though he does try to use his wings out of instinct, even though it doesn't do anything.]

...does this mean we both lose?

[acherontiastyx]

...yeesh. I guess I should feel lucky mine was just weird.

[not even cool weird or horrifying weird. just a mundane sort of "wait, why did that happen."]

...oh. Uh. You don't mind if I keep the cat plant thing, right. I kind of... decided it was mine, but if you want it back, I can do that. I figured you might not mind since your profile says you don't like cats, but.

[trustwellness]

[Well that's just it, it looks like a normal box bottom, but if you're checking it closely you'll probably find a small notch that you can get a fingernail in...]
