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!]

[ Elda is from modern low fantasy not scifi though, so: ]

Different days?

[matchbreaker]

But if Chiyuki actually wrote it, he might not.

[ In an overly loud whisper ]

[firstaid]

[She furrows her eyebrows...]

...but she died. How could she write it?

[Talking via letters to the dead sounds like something out of a book.]

[sportadork]

I hope you didn't break it... We get some pretty useful things from that machine! [like watermelon that's very useful.]

I wonder if it means anything. Or if it's just a joke.

[uncouthhatcher]

Yeah? Why's that?

[acherontiastyx]

...I should probably look into that, huh.

[tsugomori]

[ Now, he is normally predispositioned to laughing quite easily. Naturally what Gangrel said there didn't help, because he's pretty damn sure Gangrel's just made a pun, and he is most certainly here for puns. Even terribly made ones. ]

Now, normally I wouldn't easily believe that anyone would be fine with letting anyone's army doing something so terrible to their own people, but judging by the way they may have behaved, anything could be possible. You could even say they wore underwear on their head and I may believe it.

[ Mikazuki pls. ]

[oyashiromama]

You are...one of many? And your job doesn't allow for free time?

[Oh. Hanyuu glances down.]

This is the first time you've ever had to explore this side of yourself, isn't it?

[plentyfriendly]

I doubt it. There's a few reasons why, but to be fair I didn't explain.

[So strap in.]

On December 31, 2028, the day the Decision Game began, there was a lunar eclipse. When Diana, Sigma, and I got out, that lunar eclipse was happening.

Tabletop Gaming Night

[matchbreaker]

[ This is a top level meant specifically for the players/characters who wanted in on it/confirmed on it (so Hanyuu, Elda, Guzma, Mikazuki, and Phi). If you want in belatedly as long as the total number doesn't exceed probably six-ish that's fine, just contact us/me ahead of time. ... Anyway that done:

Elda contacted the individuals to play and/or if they got a character sheet last week, the players of Elda's tabletop game somehow got the memo privately before tonight. Of course, anyone could just walk in on them, but either way the meeting is taking place In Elda's Room (11) as a "just in case" for anyone falling asleep during it Elda, in a tremendous show of trying to be helpful to humans and their silly need to eat food has provided Gummy tails she got from the vending machines (don't eat those), fruit that she didn't need to cook or anything from the fridge, and hot tea. ... Hopefully other people brought their own snacks. She's also moved several rpg books, at least six sets for tabletop gaming d20 dice sets, and a bunch of pen and paper into the room. They do not have miniatures.

Or a table.

It's just a circle of pillows on the floor... she has that desk? And her broken up almost turned into a coffin bed? But either way, she's here, she's the GM here apparently, and our other players get to enjoy each other's company with some sort of whacky game here.

As a gentle reminder for what everyone's been assigned: Phi got assigned a level 1 Ratling Thief and this is arguably the most useful ... outside of combat, Hanyuu got assigned a level 5 Vampire Spawn because she gets to be hideously overpowered, Mikazuki is the group's assigned healer it seems as a level 1 Dawn Elf Priestess and Guzma has been assigned as level 2 Half-Ogre Monk because that sure is a thing for some reason. Elda's setting is her attempt at bing gothic while DMing from only vague notes and her imagination. The characters are all starting off at an opera house for some reason. Feel free to be fast and loose with how we go about this. ]

Okay, so everyone in their seats and fine?

[ She's strangely excited to be doing a game like this... maybe because it's a friends thing... ]

[uncouthhatcher]

Superstition, that's all! If you grab one of its tails then it puts a thousand year curse on you, but there's also all kind of stories about Ninetales. One I remember hearin' about growin' up was how each of the tails had its own special power, and it lives a thousand years itself because of how mystical it was.

[... So, you know, basic legend stuff. It's just a story.]

'Course, Ninetales only curses people that mistreat it, so as long as you're careful and it trusts you, you're free to pet it all you want! Brushin' their tails is part of the groomin' routine.

[iaspis]

My facet is uniquely me, but... I am not the only Jasper, no.

[She's silent for a long time.]

I have never had to do so much... thinking, without direct guidance from the Diamonds before.

[matchbreaker]

Same, actually.

[ On the meaning ] I don't think it's broken, I mean I got these things [ Wiggles a gummy tail ] but maybe I should try again.

[plegia]

Hah! They aren't quite that incompetent, sadly! Then again if they were I'd just be bored crushing them and that would make my revenge completely unsatisfying!

[he's got to play on hard mode okay!!!]

[matchbreaker]

[ Wow. ]

That's why we're having this meeting.

[iaspis]

Yes. I'll look around too. There must be some sign that this facility has been used before.

How else could the Wordsmith call this a "university"?

[oyashiromama]

And if you had a...second chance, you believe you could kill him easier. Is that it?

[matchbreaker]

Don't those only last a few hours?

[ Or has she been wrong all this time. Did she mean there was going to be and their was, or there currently was at both instances and all this took only a few hours ]

[firstaid]

[Sorry, not logical things are something she's a bit slow with.]

So do people really think she wrote it?

[BACK TO SQUARE ONE!]

[acherontiastyx]

...yeah. Yeah, I'm doing alright.

How many punch techniques can I use?

[plentyfriendly]

Well yeah. I probably should have said there was going to be one. Slip of the tongue.

Anyway, the blue button can't have come after that, since we were still in the Decision Game.

[matchbreaker]

How the devil can you remember two histories though? Wordsmith saying he can make someone never exist is one thing, but that's ... different.

[matchbreaker]

[ YES.

MAYBE?

Elda is going to run her hairs through her hair and try to stomp off, looking frustrated. Someone else handle this!! Maybe!! or just stop her ]

[matchbreaker]

Five!

[ why does she know that without looking at anything...

She's pouring tea, and perhaps looks a little too proud of her no doubt not great tea ]

Because of your strength score!

[plentyfriendly]

That's my ability. I can send my consciousness through time, to other histories.

[In a little less than two days this will have Implications.]
