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

[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!]

[Clearly. Gold coughs, taking Chavvot from her gently. This is getting much too Feelings for his sober self and he is going to be very light and bright instead!]

Course! They're, you know, my pals. And I'm the same way for them.

[... more so with silver than crys on both accounts because things are Tricky with her and she tends to be the best at communicating with her words over actions, but it isn't by much. he loves his friends, they are the ones that understand him past his attitude and the ones he gives all of himself to as a result.]

They're my partners, and that's a real honor for 'em.

[uncouthhatcher]

Yeah, no joke.

[he's quiet for a moment before he reaches over to scratch aibo's head]

I think'd he'd be safer here than at home, least for the time bein'.

[uncouthhatcher]

Sure! Maybe like Kingdra. Gyarados would be hilarious, and you're so nothin' else.

[... Silver'd be a nice mermaid. Totally fits him. Hope their dumb conversation cheers you, Hanyuu.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[She's defintely stressed, and while he's not going to take the old letter from her he's definitely gonna set his hand on hers to loosen it a little, his tone rough but not as irritated as he could be about this.]

He's addin' them after the fact. He didn't think we'd have two awesome people tryin' to blast our way outta this junkhole, and he ain't thinkin' of this either. Otherwise there'd already be somethin' in place of it. So I'm gonna do whatever the hell I can until that happens, and if something gets put up I'll find a way around it.

[Because that's what he does, he's a stubborn asshole that grasps something and does not give it up.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[in one ear and out the other]

Oh, they are very flexible if you're savin' the world and happen to bend a few on the way.

[pokéworld also has useless police]

[deofoled]

You guys live really short lives.

[...]

I've heard that humans who come to the Netherworlds live longer if they can survive.

[matchbreaker]

[ Inhale. Exhale.

... Two awesome people, huh? Hopps - she was just talking to her the other day, and now she's dead too. There's something surreal about all of this. She hands her head, and noticing where the boy put his hand-

... She doesn't like him near enough to be comforted by that, per se, but she does... ]

... Alright, it's not on me yet anyway. [ . . . ] And if you don't get a reply, I'll be trying some other things.

[matchbreaker]

I've been trying to sketch most of the people here and I couldn't get your hair right from memory.

[ Lamely.

This is totally logical ]

[deofoled]

Be careful when you do. [ He assumes Hanyuu will just based on how she is.]

There's been too many rules broken this week.

[uncouthhatcher]

[... Wow.]

Are you good 'cause you've had time, or because you like drawin'?

[matchbreaker]

It's something I did often in my youth! [ ... ] Since then, it's mostly time though. I've drawn more in the last few days than I have in years back home. These days, we had one of those new-fangled camera you can own at your house, so there didn't seem to be much point.

[ Or at least, so she tells herself.

... These bangs are all wrong, ugh. She erases them ]

[deofoled]

Let's get started then.

[ Killia's not a bad teacher, but he has a bit of excess energy today so he probably pushed Estelle harder than he needed to. On the plus side she probably learned a lot, even if she might be sore and tired afterwards.]

...I never thought I'd train anyone.

[firstaid]

[She did learn a lot. Her arms are tired and they feel wobbly. Not to mention she's rather out of breath, however, she really appreciates he chose not to go easy on her. This is about survival, not just some basic training. At least she feels like she could stand a chance if confronted without a weapon. She'll continue to train, too, tomorrow... or after that if her arms don't hurt terribly.]

I do really appreciate you doing this. Even though we're fighting for our own survival, I'm really happy you decided to train me like this. It means a lot to me.

[A dog eat dog place and someone is showing kindness to her instead of throwing her to the wolves.]

[alchemicals]

They got kind of weird at me for saying it's all right if I die and all that, among some other things.

[acherontiastyx]

[...well, seeing that has brightened the shit out of someone's day.]

Oh snap, I should've guessed one of those would be in there! Lucky you, you don't even have to pay for it!

[deofoled]

You're just going to take- [ Well that certainly was a loud sound.]

What was that?

[quadruples]

I don't usually play. [ Well, unless you count phone games. But he mostly plays things like Neko Atsume. ] But I have a gaming system with no games, and plenty of free time.

[plegia]

Oh come now, if I planned on "overachieving" then I certainly wouldn't make it so obvious!

[He holds out one hand and brings the sword down hard on his palm. It doesn't leave a cut, obviously.]

The worst I can do is bruise you a bit with this. But I suppose you'll want me to avoid that as well, won't you?

[He's kind of smirking anyway. Though it probably would be fun to bruise Lusamine!!]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Oh, no, that... hits him in his romantic soul, honestly. Gold is a sap and it is his second greatest secret. Bitch loves chick flicks and romcoms.]

Must be pretty nice that no one cares who you are as a skater here, huh. You're just some really good lookin' guy who's got a terrifyin' smile and makes good food, loves the guy he's coachin' and is damn earnest about whatever the hell you're up to.

[plegia]

Honestly, I'm surprised I'm still alive.

[Not in this game, but back home. He's one of those people you can't imagine living until they're thirty and yet he managed. Somehow.]

You're making that sound like a challenge, you know.

[He's not entirely sure what to make of it, though.]

[quadruples]

I kind of want to challenge him to a drinking contest one day. But I get the feeling I'd lose.

[quadruples]

Maybe they need to show off their bodies to cast magic.

[matchbreaker]

[ It was a SCHWIP sound, and she holds out her wrist to show how the thing has wrapped around her- ]

It's like a worm or something! Look, it wrapped up!

[plegia]

[siiiiigh]

Maybe. I wouldn't know. Dark Mages are ridiculous.

[uncouthhatcher]

I think you oughta still do it, you're good! Maybe you can sell 'em off or something like that. Do vampires care about stuff like that?
