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

How tall up are the vents, would you say?

If we had some sort of tool to remove them, and a light source, maybe I could see how far I could see into them.

[It would give them an idea before they decide to shove a Pokeball in there, at least.]

[sportadork]

... I know. [he doesn't]

Still. We will never know how many murders we haven't had, right? There could be dozens of those! While we're all upset about the ones that did happen... It could be worse!

[that's his story and he's sticking to it.]

[ravagers]

[ If there's one thing she's learned from her time here, and from those dreams... it's that reaching out to people is better than pushing them away. ]

I-I'd like to talk about it... yeah.

[acherontiastyx]

Alright. Just let me get ready here...

[he'll head on over, pick up the pad, get in position...]

Yeah. Come at me, and come at me hard.

[ravagers]

[ ...... ]

You know, I'm really not sure.

[foundfate]

I brought you some dinner.

[He indicates to the plate in his hands. It looks much more like something Varric might be familiar with: some kind of cooked beef and some steamed vegetables.]

I didn't see you out and about tonight, so I thought you might be hungry.

[plentyfriendly]

I looked at the first aid room yesterday.

[You know. The one Mercy was found dead in.]

[alchemicals]

[..............um]

...Yes? Yes. Sure.

[WHAT IS THIS EVEN]

[oyashiromama]

Turned back time... That isn't really accurate to say. I jumped worlds. I didn't want Rika to die. Rika didn't want to die. We ended up...in a world above the realm of humans. Maybe... Maybe it's connected to where my people came from. I don't know. I could never do this before.

[Everything sounds almost robotic. Like she's just relaying this horrible tragic tale and...and she can't do anything about it.]

Did you know there are many different versions of the same world? Like different pieces, like... We call them fragments. My power...lets me take Rika, her memories, her personality, everything...and transplant them into a different one. It's nearly exactly the same...but there are some differences. They're impossible to predict...at least so far. A tragedy happens, with a different journey, but the same outcome. At the end of same month of the same year, Rika is killed. That's how it's been...the four times I've lived through it so far, in each different fragment.

[deofoled]

He's a sword, a tachi.

[...]

I haven't heard of someone naming their weapon like that, except for him.

[foundfate]

If he's like you, then we might have heard his hollering from inside before now.

[Maybe if he makes a joke, things will lighten up a bit more.]

[ravagers]

Yeah, mostly...

[ She pauses a moment. ]

Can I come in?

[firstaid]

...I don't think she would like it. She would be disappointed in me.

[At least from what she gathers from Belius from the short meeting they had and from her memory.]

[foundfate]

She keeps being killed?

[One: that's horrifying to hear.

Two: what?]

How?

[ravagers]

It's okay.

[ She brings her in for a hug. ]

D'you... want to talk about anything?

[alchemicals]

[...]

You know, whenever Kira and I meet again in hell, I need to apologize to him for every discussion we've ever had if they were anywhere near this confusing.

[firstaid]

Okay, I will do that when you are here or there and have the time.

[She won't bother him if he's busy, though.]

[foundfate]

[Not so simple, when Mugetsu crawls out of Silver's hair to poke at Weavile. Hi small friend hiiii]

Such a simple solution, I wonder why I didn't think of it.

[deofoled]

The dojo's better for it, there's more space there.

...if I get my sword back, we can use weapons too if you want. [ Maybe RNG will be kind to him.]

[firstaid]

well, it is. Still, there's no gain from killing him, I would be lead to believe. It would be like destroying an item one got from that contraption. There's no reason.

[neverheardofhim]

Oh, that's for sure. Probably lots of blaming me too. [Achievement Unlocked: Laughing Dwarf Acquired!]

[oyashiromama]

...Yes, you could put it that way.

[like what the fuck]

So you're writing down your thoughts, or...?

[foundfate]

Or maybe someone else already got your sword too.

[But hey, if Mikazuki ever gets it, they can sword train!]

[firstaid]

Perhaps they have a reason to show off their bodies...

[Or are that good looking they feel positive in wearing those... things.]

[sportadork]

[he nods and moves so he's sitting in a more comfortable position on the floor.]

I'm listening.
