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

It's difficult being such a popular, beloved ruler!

[well at least he's got some self-awareness about this???]

[alchemicals]

...Yeah. Yeah, I don't see why not, I guess.

[Which is better than nothing, really; at least he doesn't seem all that keyed-up about it for the time being.]

The dream last night involved a guy that reminds me a lot of Kira. Apparently he was my superior officer back home, he got me reinstated to the military and everything.

I guess I just took it kind of badly after everything Kira decided to be this weekend. That's all it is, really.

[feistytrader]

[Oh nononono nono no no don't tickle him, please don't tickle him--

Silver is helpless against the power of the tickles, and resorts to trying to kick Gold away to get him to stop.]

[alchemicals]

Look at you go, you're horrible.

[he appreciates it, all right.]

[quadruples]

He's well-behaved in the bath. Most of the time, at least. Sometimes I get soaked when he shakes the water off.

[ Here's another picture. This one was taken outside on a winter day, with a sheet of snow covering the ground. Makkachin is on a leash, wagging his tail excitedly as a a red-headed woman pets him. ]

[iaspis]

[She nods.]

I would like that.

[She gets into a fighting stance.]

You can move first.

[acherontiastyx]

Heck yeah. You wanna brew something up in here, or do you wanna stick to duct tape and fabric markers?

[uncouthhatcher]

[That'll get him off, yeah, he'll come up coughing too. Coughing and laughing. Laugh-coughing.]

[iaspis]

Quicksand....?

Fortunately, I don't think there's anything like that here.

Besides, so long as it wasn't here, I could just turn myself into a ball of energy and escape.

[alchemicals]

Let's just stick with those last ones for now, he's not worth anything else. Weird bastard would probably like the explosions.

[elepe]

[--She's kind of thankful she doesn't drop the rest of those knives, goodness. Hi Silver, hi Weavile, you're an absolute dear for picking these up...]

Ah...it's not the tossing that's the hard part. Though I suppose it is, because having them reach or stick to their destination is the problem entirely.

[She looks to the knives, shaking her head. That...was stupid.]

...They're not as light as I would have expected them to be.

[plegia]

The absolute worst!

[more evil laughter...]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Oh.]

I still can't believe you're a superhero, but I guess it's a lot more than cool gadgets and superpowers, huh. What do you protect it from?

[tsugomori]

I guess because it wouldn't be interesting if it was always easy.

[ His voice is light in a sense that it can be gleamed that he is joking a little...but then he'll shake his head. ]

... Well, that joke aside, why would they do leave their capitol so vulnerable? Did their forces decide to take a vacation?

[ He considered bringing up the irony (for now), but he probably got distracted by hearing "bad strategic decisions". ]

[sportadork]

I don't have any superpowers! [just getting that settled right off.]

Well, Lazytown is pretty quiet, so it's less natural disasters and more making sure the kids don't spend all day playing video games inside and eating candy. [man it sounds super lame when just. said like that...] Of course, if anyone's in any danger, I go rescue them! Sometimes people fall in holes. Usually Robbie. He also digs the holes.

[elepe]

[There's...a bit of a pause. Well, if they're going to start poking around, now would be a time to do so...but...]

Be careful, Guzma. [The tone is definitely scolding. But at the same time, it's...] If the situation starts to look back, get out of there before you get a sword in your chest. I don't want you dying here.

...I can't afford having you die out here, at this point. [She averts her gaze when she says that.] Understood?

[feistytrader]

And you think I'm an asshole. Laugh it up, Gold.

[His one god damn weakness is tickling, Gold, what the fuck.]

[elepe]

...Have you trained with weapons like these before?

[Lusamine definitely sounds interested, at the very least.]

I could use some pointers, if you are willing to provide.

[uncouthhatcher]

Oh, I-- I am!

[An asshole and laughing it up, ohh ohhh boy.]

That's what you-- you get for-- [wheeze] For pullin' me in!

[sportadork]

[nods]

You have a type.

[plegia]

[It gets a brief laugh from him (that's exactly as evil as you'd imagine) before he waves it off and answers the question.]

No, not exactly. They prioritized the safety of their leader first and foremost by trying to move her away from the place we were most likely to hit. In theory it would have worked, but their leader is the most disgusting, saintly woman I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. She was damned determined to return to the capital to give her people hope or something. Either way, she walked right into our open arms and figuratively landed herself right on the executioner's block. Though it was really a peak that we were going to force her off, but that's not important!

[oh my god]

[alchemicals]

[...what is that even supposed to mean]

I guess so?

[tsugomori]

[ He'll accept it, and resist the temptation to lean back onto a bed that wasn't his. ]

Well, I don't quite all that much was. I had a simple dream, in which I met an old friend once again, and his name is Kogitsunemaru. But it wasn't something I was dwelling on.

If anything, all I've been thinking about mostly are my friends, and wondering if they are doing alright. I suppose that is quite simple, isn't it?

[uncouthhatcher]

[oh no she's hot]

Who's that?

[sportadork]

[a friend-type]

What's his name? [pause] Hopefully he's not like him in a few ways.
