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

Oh please, you!

[ She laughs, brushing back her hair and patting her lavender dress that she happens to be wearing that she came with. ]

I do wish that that contraption would spit out some more clothes though. Only having two really good outfits that fit me is really draining to a lady.

[trustwellness]

[For a while, it doesn't seem as though it's going to answer; there's just that constant steady stream of black silt pouring down the wall and dissipating into the floor.

Eventually, however, one of those dark tendrils will split off and spread out a bit in the direction of the sheets of paper she's got in front of her.

YES.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh... Oh. Oh. She-

... She bites her nail. ]

... Shit. [ And what's more- ] ... I didn't mean that I don't like you, by the way.

[ See, she can be nice! Sort of. ]

[uncouthhatcher]

Yeah. It's just too bad we don't have any incense to burn for her.

[... And he doesn't know her favorite food, but he can fiddle with that.]

[alchemicals]

I can't even imagine - but then, I've never really been one for a lot of clothes.

[...He's wearing the military uniform again today, and he's wearing it badly, because that's just how he is most of the time.

That said, he'll pass the camera back over and go back to messing with his nails; putting that stupid manicure set to good use, apparently.]

You can have that, if you want. Not like I'm doing anything with it.

[matchbreaker]

Given how random all the stuff in the vending machine is, you'd think someone got some spit out.

[ She pauses a moment, and then looks at the doll again. She considers picking it up from him, but thinks better of it, closing her hand before... ]

Which is better, that doll or a drawing?

[feistytrader]

Offer's still open. You can punch more later.

[plentyfriendly]

No offense taken.

[She gets it. She's prickly herself anyway.]

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, a military man just needs to keep a pair or two of his uniform in order, right?

[ Not to mention the prison that I have now forgotten if she knows or not and I think she does but I'm dumb and on a plane so fuck referencing facts she might not know.

... But she does take the camera, nodding appreciatively as she zeroes in on his nails ]

Thanks, it's a shame it doesn't have film though.

[matchbreaker]

[ But putting all that aside- ]

So you're remembering some resets, basically? Is there any way to know which one's first, or does it not even work like that?

[sportadork]

... Why do you get so many? [he doesn't get that many this is clearly cosmically unfair]

[alchemicals]

[Well, I mean, he kind of screamed about...a lot of shit during the trial, and prison was included in that, so pretty much everyone knows by now. But you are in fact on a plane and so shall be forgiven for not wanting to look things up because wow.]

Maybe you can ask our host for some, he'll hand out stuff if it's not too much of an inconvenience.

[feistytrader]

I'll figure it out. I'm not about to take too many risks with Weavile.

[plentyfriendly]

Not completely.

[Look, she isn't even sure what order things happened for her on the Moon.]

But I seem to have realized I'd shifted into the blue button room from another timeline, so it's clearly not the first one I experienced. I'm not sure offhand whether or not getting tased would count as enough danger to set it off subconsciously...

[ Many, many, years ago he was a lot more practiced with all of this. His intentions coming here were innocent enough, or at least that was all he had allowed them to be. Killia hated getting close to people no matter how much he actually truly liked the company of others because of the burden he carried, and the mistakes he had made. But even in his dreams (memories), he had failed too.

It's almost funny that unlike the many times Seraphina had misunderstood, his visceral reaction wasn't no or a denial. It's scarier to him that it's not that, actually. Maybe he had known that intrinsically over the past week but...]

I...

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, that's what I heard and it sounds really weird to me. Like. How do they exist. What do they even eat.

[oyashiromama]

[Between indiscernible grumbles, there's the drawing, shoved in her face! Surprised so much, Hanyuu can't help but yelp and stumble...to the side, since it seems Elda's behind her but she can't stumble forward so-]

E-E-Elda...! I- don't sneak up on people like that!

[oyashiromama]

[ONE OF MANY LEG shake shake shake]

He's very polite.

2/2

[deofoled]

This makes you happy? [ It's the only thing he could think to ask, though judging from the reaction it's not really one that's necessary. There's thoughts in his head as there always are, yelling at him to just treat this like all the other times. It would be easier to entertain them, it would make things simple again. Yet he had come here for a reason, because for once he didn't want to be alone in his own thoughts, even if he really didn't understand why. He had probably never wanted to understand why, but suddenly there was a choice to be made.

..................... ]

If it makes you happy I- I like it when you're happy. [ He doesn't really understand what he's doing, but hopefully the small smile on his face speaks well enough. Maybe he could just try to take this one step at a time, instead of instantly rejecting his feelings out of fear. So he'll hand over the sakura blossoms fully now, if the other man still wants them.]

[quadruples]

Nectar, leaves, blood, other bugs... [ A shrug. ] I think I have a few photos of butterflies on my phone if you want to see what they look like?

[oyashiromama]

[Glances away.]

If...we're stuck here, there's nothing wrong with trying to learn more about our captor. Didn't we all agree on that the first day?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Aibo is so pleased, Hanyuu's getting both of them.]

Man, if you wanna see someone who's got the same face as me, then you've gotta meet Togebo -- he's my little Togepi, just a baby, but me and him look just alike. Same handsome smirk and everything!

[deofoled]

Have you tried to talk to it?

s'ok i saw nothin!

[deofoled]

[ Tbh, it hadn't even crossed his mind to try to hide the spear.]

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Did you want to practice hand-to-hand in the meantime?

[oyashiromama]

SHIFT... [That is some acronym.] ...Akane, was that the person who taught you or...helped you figure out how to use your power? I-I'm sorry to ask so much, I just... I have many questions.
