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!]

I'd hope people have gotten smart by now. If we want to combat the Wordsmith, we can't keep throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks.

[matchbreaker]

He won't get anywhere, but how could he help it!

[ Bashful.

She is not ]

[sportadork]

[long pause]

Was that a joke?

[byday]

[...it takes him a second.]

Oh my God.

[oyashiromama]

[There are multiple questions, but-] ...Like yours. Phi, Sigma. They're like...the Greek Alphabet.

[sportadork]

He should know better than to chase a married woman.

[sportadork]

[quietly] It wouldn't have been a very funny joke...

1/2

[matchbreaker]

[ There is a brief, but important pause here. ]

[byday]

I...wow. I was seriously not. Thinking about that.

[matchbreaker]

[ but then normal Elda: ]

He really should! What a cad of a man!

[oyashiromama]

That's what most people do. Most of them...find their own way through life, or...if their purpose is taken from them, or changed, have to struggle to develop a new one. ...I find it enviable, honestly. That freedom.

[oyashiromama]

I... I can, everything's just very on my mind today.

[matchbreaker]

[ Hmmm... ]

But do you want to do anything?

[ She is way, way too considerate of Hanyuu to even ask this........ ]

[sportadork]

It's okay. I don't think anybody would accuse you of making a joke on purpose.

[sportadork]

[cocks head to the side a bit...]

Of all the things he's done, this really is the worst!

[matchbreaker]

Oh, I don't know if I'd go that far! But it really is foolish of him, to think I can be bought.

[sportadork]

He'd at least have to give something nicer than bad candies.

[matchbreaker]

[ SAGE NOD.

... That said he coins are sort of convenient ]

[introspects]

[ Maybe when Mercy had died, Orihime would not move. But right now, Mikazuki's touch at least gets her to turn back and walk away slowly. She's crying too much to be coherent, holding their bracelets tightly in her hand.

She will allow him to rest his hand on her shoulder, at least. ]

[introspects]

Oh...thank you.

[ She only nods, but rises out of her seat. ]

Let's look, then. It may be hard if that would qualify as a scientific book, but it's worth a shot. You...must really like them.

[introspects]

Oh...I...I'm the same.

[ Just...barely getting by. But the haircut--the haircut is a reminder for her to start anew. Sitting around, crying for help, feeling helpless...none of those things will do anything.

As much as she's still pained over the deaths of her friends, she has to stay strong. ]

But I'm not giving up.

[introspects]

Ah, Gold-kun!

[ Hi friend! She gives him a smile, sort of embarrassed by the compliment but flattered nonetheless. ]

Oh, thank you! Actually, I would appreciate that, haha! It's really hard to do it myself since I can't...see the back of my head and all.

[introspects]

[ There's something about his words that's very reassuring. With everything that's happened over these past few weeks, she would be devastated to lose someone like him. (little does she know 3 of her friends are dying this week) ]

Then...do you want to sleepover in my room, then?

[introspects]

Mhmm.

[ Stay strong, Orihime, don't cry-- ]

This is for Judy-chan and Nick-kun. Since Gold-kun found that letter from Chiyuki-san, I...I thought I should give it a try, too. See if they'll get anything back.

[introspects]

...Ah...

[ He's right. It's..always been Friday, right? ]

Are you...taking over for Angela-san?
