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

[plegia]

This one fell out of that machine so I'm sure you'll pull one out at some point!

[Don't ask how it fit in there. No one knows.]

[deofoled]

I just hope I don't get one of those outfits. [ With a coy smirk, because why is that dark mage outfit a thing. Not that he minds helping Mikazuki, but that outfit was almost a bit too much by demon standards and they're half-naked as a norm.]

[deofoled]

Not even her. A fairy and a wisp could, but they're really small.

[plentyfriendly]

Someone you know?

[Phi might just need to listen, right now.]

[plegia]

Tch, it's hardly my fault they keep falling out of that machine!

[UGHHHHHHHHH WHO PUT THOSE IN THERE HE WANTS TO STAB THEM A LOT]

[plentyfriendly]

Interesting. So there's some connection to the outside somewhere after all... or at least, that's one possibility.

[plentyfriendly]

...In a sense.

[She didn't want to lose her trump card but at this rate she might not have a choice.]

[uncouthhatcher]

I'm an asshole to him from time to time, but that's it. What'd he say?

pool

[quadruples]

[ Viktor is having trouble sleeping, and while common sense is telling him he should stay in his room until morning now that they've been given another incentive, he really wants to go for a quick swim in the pool.

So shortly after midnight he heads downstairs... and emerges from the men's changing room in his birthday suit, not expecting anybody else to be in the pool this late. ]

[matchbreaker]

Oh. Is that what these things are for?

[ She nudges it again with a fingernail, humming a bit. She got something not that dissimilar from the vending machine. But handmade. Huh. ]

[matchbreaker]

Weird.

Well let's hear it.

[ Because elda is clearly entitled to an explanation... ]

[matchbreaker]

[ ... Well that sure was a waste of time.

... Sort of interesting.

She'll keep these for later and decide that if these are around maybe there's other signs of things being weird here? Let's look inside of the board game boxes.

And generally just look around some more like an idiot and the player who has reading comprehension to know that meant no more evidence oops ]

[iaspis]

I don't understand why she would stay out here overnight, especially after.....

[But wondering won't make a difference.]

We should leave, before that thing gets any ideas.

[deofoled]

Wait, is it your fault? [ He has no idea that the dark mage outfit was from Gangrel's world, but that denial is suspicious.]

[matchbreaker]

That wasn't going to break it!

[ Huff! ] What, are you attached to raggedy Mei there?

[iaspis]

I don't know if it's possible or not, I've never tried it before.

Does this place have anything that would work?

[matchbreaker]

[ Hmmm.... ] What if we shoved her in there?

[matchbreaker]

Apparently, while that one blonde girl just fell asleep and broke Rule Three, apparently Angela was aware long enough to fight against the shadow thing as well. And it sounds like he's considering making that a rule.

[ But she didn't see that? She thinks... or at least not enough to single it out. ]

[iaspis]

What a ridiculous and pointless offer.

[matchbreaker]

[ BUT ELDA IS HERE.

She's also a huge mess of hair, fully as long as her body is tall if not a little bit bigger, and given that it's wet the thing sort of tails behind her as she lazily is backstroking on the far side of the pool.

... Naked. ]

[plentyfriendly]

I told you before about how we knew that civilization might end, right? Well, what I remembered was what happened at Dcom that led to that.

But, in the future that results, two people are alive that have supposedly died.

[quadruples]

[ He walks closer to the edge of the pool. ]

...Elda?

[feistytrader]

Could this fit in there?

[He holds up Weavile's Pokéball; it's semi-transparent, and Weavile waves from inside.]

[alchemicals]

[Oh, hey, Judy. At the very least he doesn't seem on the verge of some sort of psychotic meltdown today? And he's bluescreening decidedly less, let's put it that way. He'll get up from what he's doing and actually pay attention to her, which is more than he's been offering most people lately.]

Looks like it, yeah. Though I'm not too used to the machines and stuff they've got in there - they're a bit beyond me, really.

[feistytrader]

...In theory, you should be able to learn anyway. It just might take more physical exertion.

[On the other hand-]

Wait here. I'll be right back.

[He leaps out of the pool, grabs a quick towel, and heads back upstairs! ...It takes him a little while to show up again, but when he does, it's absolutely with an obscenely jury rigged... something; it looks vaguely like a pool noodle, with quart sized bags mostly filled, then duct taped shut for extra measure and rolled up, then finally, the whole thing questionably taped together.]

Here. Try holding onto this.

[It... Should work, maybe, but it's definitely not something that's going to last for more than an hour or two, tops.]
