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!]

That's so wonderful!

[Wow, she wishes she got memories like that.]

Dojo

[officerhops]

[As Judy usually tends to be anymore, she's as busy as a bee today. But once that incentive goes out...she decides some more time in the gym to clear her head is needed. Of course she'd never act on such a thing, but the last memory she seems to have had wasn't exactly a good one. It's pretty difficult to think about. Instead of going to the gym, though, she decides to try the dojo to see what different sorts of equipment it has.

She hops a little in place on the balls of her feet, shaking out her hands as she looks across the room, only to suddenly spot Kimbley there. Kimbley...she's admittedly been avoiding since the trial, if only because she doesn't really know what she could have said to him. That, and he was a certifiable Mess(tm) that she didn't want to accidentally upset.

At least now they're a couple days past all that. Maybe it'll be...fine...]

Looks like we've got the same idea.

[She calls out as she stands awkwardly at one end of the room, like she's...here now, but isn't entirely sure what to do with herself now that she is here.]

Gotta say though, I think I prefer the gym so far.

[plentyfriendly]

I met a bunny-presenting AI once, although if it's involved in this at all it's chafing in its qubits waiting to meet us.

[She does not look or sound excited about this.]

[quadruples]

I investigated the bar. There's a secret compartment in one of the cabinets.

[uncouthhatcher]

Oh, we've gotta find it. I wanna see what kinda shit that guy writes down, though knowin' him it's all gonna be boring.

[uncouthhatcher]

[That makes no sense without context, yeah, and Gold'll reach out to touch her arm.]

.... How do you think they'd feel if they knew the kinda thing you had to do to that end, though?

[matchbreaker]

[ What?! Who else was working on these?! She doesn't know a lot of people's penmanship here, but what's the state of that? She sits down with these, so that she might examine if there's anything of interest on them. Obviously not player names, but is there anything to be gleamed from the class, race, level or especially the campaign notes sections of these, or is it all fruitless?

... It'll be funny if it's fruitless and she spends a good half hour to an hour on this ]

[matchbreaker]

[ LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.

... LOOKS POUTY INSTEAD THE MOMENT HANYUU AND HER LOCK EYES ]

[quadruples]

"Dear diary, I wonder what kind of bullshit motive I should give to my cute Apprentices this week? Money? The ability to rewrite history? A lifetime's supply of pizza?"

[matchbreaker]

[ You know some part of her can't help but think "lucky" - but though something from last week weighs on her, her memories from this and lat week have been pleasant enough that she has the wherewithal to say, despite barely knowing the guy - ]

Good for you! Glad someone's got good things going on!

[ And clap him perhaps a little harder than you'd expect on the back. Or intend to ]

[matchbreaker]

Someone asked this last time, but is anyone regularly writing or talking to Wordsmith? Anything you wanna tell us this time? Because he told me something I'm still not sure I get about Angela's death the other day.

[ Or other things might be nice to clarify ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[PFFT]

Maybe he's got a like list in there. I know I'm gonna be on his shit list, if anything at all, all I've been doin' is aggravatin' the guy.

[trustwellness]

[Well, you can't compare it to everyone's penmanship here since you (presumably) haven't seen everyone's writing!

As for the sheets themselves... it looks like someone was just about as into this as you are, though perhaps not quite as knowledgeable. It's not perfect, in other words. But there isn't anything of value to find on these sheets, so you're welcome to spend your time looking through them to get no bolded evidence!! Sorry about that.]

[uncouthhatcher]

What's a qubit?

[... nevermind the fact you met an AI who was literally bunself]

[plentyfriendly]

It's shorthand for "quantum bit".

[You know, because it was running on a quantum computer.]

[quadruples]

I love dramatic entrances and surprising people. ...Sorry about that, Weavile. [ Except he doesn't look sorry at all. ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[oh yeah of course everyone knows that]

Second question: Is this related to the Mars thing you had to deal with?

[deofoled]

[ Killia finally made it to a meeting for once. He also didn't show up empty handed and brought a large tray of macaroni and cheese, along with a tray of sweet and sour meatball . He spends a large portion of the meeting listening (and eating) but when there's a lull he speaks up.]

I looked around the gym. The equipments all new, and there are vents by the sealing that look like they could be opened with something. [ He doesn't really know too much about tools, that's what the item merchants are for.]

I don't think anyone here could fit in them.

[plentyfriendly]

How new are we talking? New as in "we're the first people to use them" new?

[deofoled]

Yeah, looked like it.

[quadruples]

[ This time he shows a picture of a blond 15-year-old who seems to be yelling at a black-haired guy. ]

That's Yuri Plisetsky and Georgi Popovich. As you can see, Yuri is an angry little thing.

[deofoled]

Alright, I can teach you the basics. [ He offered Mikazuki the same thing, so it's only fair.]

I'll be in here and the dojo a lot, so grab me whenever.

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda got a gift from the wordsmith today and that is a pair of sunglasses! She is wearing them indoors now, and is content to explore/hobble around the facility now, finally getting to the fourth floor because her foot is finally starting to feel better As such, you might find her at a variety of locations today beginning with the vending machine, where she not only puts in ten coins as normal and gets some neat stuff, but she also tries to shove in twenty at once and gets... a lot of gummy tails. ... She has no idea what to do with those, and she's going to be shoving one of them into the chest of anyone she passes today with a demand of, ]

Here, eat this.

[ However, that's not all! After putting on the bracelets she has and then trying to get rid of her food which she'll throw at people's heads, you might find her in a few more places! Namely, you'll find Elda in the Infirmary, comparing the blood that's in here to the blood that's in the first aide room. She's taking a sip of both, pouring them out and slurping them. Ew. Next, you might find her in the hall outside of the sewing room. Here, she is sitting with several pieces of a paper and a ... feather quill pen? ... Also some more normal pencils, but she has put a sign up next to her which reads, ]

Art for clothing, please give a lady variety.

[ And then finally, if any of you guys happen to be both awake at around midnight and be the pool you might catch Elda Marker down here in the pool. It might not be obvious at first (or maybe it will?!) but she's... well. Skinny dipping? Someone might want to tell her to stop, but it seemed reasonable to assume no one would be up or want to swim then, sue her. She couldn't find a swimsuit which the full package of fit her, was comfortable on her, and was cute. ]

[matchbreaker]

Not even the rabbit?

[ Elda herself is pretty tiny too, but Hopps is less than three feet. ]

[plegia]

...Yes, basically.

[cults, man.]
