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

...In the water, though?

[But why would you bleach the - ]

I mean, I guess? Kind of a weird practice, though.

[firstaid]

I-I know that!

[She puffs her cheeks a bit and punches the back using a proper form this time. Of course, fist fighting isn't her forte so while she knew that, she didn't really know that.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Oh, you know, had some spare time, made a few to remember her by.

[Seriously, Silver.]

Where do you think I got it? Smitty's a real sicko.

[tsugomori]

Exactly.

[ He'll smile a little. ]

...Ah, that smells delicious by the way. I think I am quite fortunate to be in the presence of so many good cooks.

Dojo

[feistytrader]

[Silver watches her for a moment before speaking up, because generally it isn't a good idea to provoke the lady with a knife in her hand.]

I'm guessing they're not as easy to toss as Pokéballs.

[Weavile goes ahead and collects the extras for her, though!]

[firstaid]

[She shakes her head.]

I don't. Everything we use back home is via magic.

[quadruples]

[ He pulls up a photo of his dog before holding the phone so Gold can take a look. Said photo appears to have been taken in the middle of a doggy bath because that is a very sudsy poodle. ]

Isn't he cute?

[firstaid]

As I've mentioned, it's likely symbolic more than anything. That, and it makes for a happy ending, I believe.

[Even if she could have been happy with him as a monster, but then everyone else can accept him too, so many things she could say...!]

[feistytrader]

...I guess it's better than the necklaces.

[Although damn, that's kind of creepy. At least they're not made of the same stuff that Chiyuki is...]

[iaspis]

[She nods.]

I think so. I may be a warrior Gem, but that doesn't mean I don't need to keep my skills sharp.

[matchbreaker]

Okay.

[ She hums, and then motions for them to sit opposite at the chess table ]

Why're you still working on it in here?

[tsugomori]

Ahh, I see, I see.

[ Indeed, he didn't hit it too hard--

He'll hold out his fist. His thumb is sticking out, over his fingers, instead of under... yeah he's clearly never thrown a punch before in his life, um. And it's probably not being held as tightly as it should be.]

Hmm, is something wrong?

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh man, no shit?! She'll set the book back on the shelf (sideways, not in there properly) and unfold the paper entirely. What's on here?! ]

[sportadork]

[he turns over the doll a few times, careful and slow, just examining it. he's not even really sure what he's looking for.]

... Maybe the ones you don't want, you could leave out for the others? I know that when my kids are upset, having a soft toy to hug can be really comforting!

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah... okay, ma'am.

...

[...should he even discuss the good news...]

I... think I might do a little investigating. I think that might be a good idea. If we find something, it might get us out of here, right?

[neverheardofhim]

[Aaaand a sigh escaped him, taking with it all of the frustration he'd carried for the event. No sense in continuing to hold it against him. Especially with both guilty parties looking the way they did.]

Makes me wonder if they could hid a whole human in there. Think Hawke might come tumbling out?

[introspects]

[ Orihime recognizes this as Viktor trying to help. She appreciates it and gives him a nod. She may not be smiling, yet, but it's still sweet of him to try to cheer her up like this. ]

Makkachin, right?

[iaspis]

....Maybe one of the others would have an answer.

Maybe it keeps the water from stagnating. Though it's indoors, so maybe that doesn't have anything to do with it.

[feistytrader]

I'm not great at it, but a stove makes it a lot easier.

[Food's done! Silver quickly moves it to a plate and passes it over.]

There really are a lot of good cooks here, though. Everyone's so eager to share, too.

[Watanuki, Varric, Viktor...]

[matchbreaker]

Three of 'em.

[ Still shaking the thing, as if testing how much force will snap it's rag doll neck ]

[neverheardofhim]

Angels? [He'd... missed some of those revelations, apparently. Nevertheless he looked curious, if a bit guilty for making Killia talk about his friend.]

[In any case, it was easier to talk about then trying to convince Killia of his own worth. Much as Varric loved to do it, he simply didn't know enough about the kid to make a decent argument.]

[neverheardofhim]

I agree. [He nodded to the bowl of stew with something of a smirk.] Which is why you should eat up. Before we have to figure out what happens if someone dies of starvation here.

[iaspis]

You fought to become leader?

[SHE'S SO HERE FOR THIS]

[alchemicals]

Maybe.

[This whole place is weird as hell, Jasper.]

What were you doing in there, anyway?

[neverheardofhim]

[Oh he's practically glowing now. He gave the rabbit a vigorous sort of nod, before turning his attention to the collection of arrows. Some still needed work, but there were enough to at least work with for the time being. He collected them gingerly and looked to the door.]

I thought you'd never ask. Lead the way, Officer?
