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

[ . . . Bugs?

She blinks once, and then twice. And then looks at everyone else, as if asking if Guzma is joking or not and they can tell... ]

[matchbreaker]

No.

[ She wants to be angry at that - she hates that myth - but she won't. It's too harsh of a whiplash from both the bile of what he said last and the strange feelings she has because of his follow up ]

Humans and vampires are their own species entirely.That whole turning thing is just a myth.

[acherontiastyx]

He could be pulling it out of his ass. I mean, there is that.

[matchbreaker]

Wouldn't it need to have a face to be a robot?

[ But she pulls it off - and... it's straight. ]

[acherontiastyx]

Nah, it's not mine. I'm the boss of Team Skull, so I don't wear the uniform. What you got right there is what we give to the rank and file.

[...well. sell. because team skull has no money.]

[deofoled]

Maybe, I'm not an engineer. What else would it be? [ Someone save these two from the mystery of children's toys.]

[acherontiastyx]

...I mean, I guess. Dustox is a little more my aesthetic. You don't actually want to mess with a Beautifly, though, which is what I kinda like about it. They're actually a lot more aggressive than you'd think.

[firstaid]

Well, I don't doubt they are memories. One of them connected with what I remember last before coming here.

[She didn't realize things went to pot right after she was 'kidnapped', either.]

[iaspis]

That's possible.

But I don't know.... It makes me wonder if this building has some sot of importance for him. I doubt he would admit as much, if it was true, though.

[matchbreaker]

Try it on your wrist.

[ She hands it off to him. ]

[neverheardofhim]

A what.

[Slow... blinking?]

[oyashiromama]

He has two bug Pokémon. I think he's being honest.

[matchbreaker]

[ .... Uuuuugh. She groans, but she is trying to be nice here! It's why she brought snacks! She goes to pull out one of the books and begins to flip through it. ]

There's like spider-people, but you'd lose some of the strength.

[oyashiromama]

[Well, Hanyuu's a pushover so she's not going to really drag her feet, but when they get there she will be insistent about not drinking, so much that she pointedly pours herself a glass for water.]

[oyashiromama]

And...what do you think? Do you question it?

[matchbreaker]

[ BUT SHE HAD THIS VODKA?

In fact she's holding it out once they make it there. ]

See, it even looks the same!

[oyashiromama]

So...you are encouraged...to betray one another, in other words. [Yikes.] What does "betray" mean? What happens to the other person?

[oyashiromama]

[...]

You...grew up in a battlefield.

[oyashiromama]

...Just that, if you feel trapped, or upset...that you feel comfortable...coming to talk to me.

[There's this subdued sadness to Hanyuu this week, but still.]

Alright, Judy?

[deofoled]

Calling it that is a compliment.

[ But he nods.]

[oyashiromama]

[She gently shakes her head.]

It's alright, the prayer was...complete, I was just reflecting on it. Not many of the writings Alani left are things others can do, not unless I grow gills and learn to glow.

[...is she making a joke? has the week been bad enough that she's just said fuck it and made a joke? maybe, it doesn't quite land but maybe.]

[deofoled]

An item dungeon, where you go to strengthen your weapons and fight the bosses that live inside them. Normal weapons don't have them, but special ones do like Bianca.

[ Let's go down the RPG meta rabit hole!]

[plentyfriendly]

Outside of the loss of points, absolutely nothing.

[Yay?]

...Unless they have no points left, in which case their bracelet fills them with muscle relaxant and they die. That part I just knew without a reason, too.

[oh.]

[deofoled]

[ Sure why not. He takes it from her and.............snap!]

!

It did the same thing.

[deofoled]

[ ... ]

If you forgot a skill, wouldn't you also forget how strong it was?
