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!]

[tsugomori]

[ Admittedly, he started looking at the sci-fi novels first, because he picked at a random spot and this seemed like a good place to start... ]

[trustwellness]

[Are you looking for something in particular, or are you just paging through? What are you trying to find - something in the books, something with the shelves...?]

[tsugomori]

[ Something within the books; maybe something like information left behind about the Academy (can he be that lucky). So, that would wind up with him paging through a book or two first. ]

[trustwellness]

[One more thing before we start: what sort of science fiction are you looking at? There are a lot of things that covers; are we talking space travel, time travel, robots, AI, what sort of thing are we looking at...?]

[tsugomori]

[ He'd probably first look at time travel, since that is something he'd be interested in (and the other things rank secondary). ]

[trustwellness]

[Good choice there, friend.

There isn't anything odd about the books themselves, but as you're paging through them maybe something will catch your attention in the margins - namely, it looks like there are notes written on some of them.]

[tsugomori]

[ As he's looking through and indeed his eyes catch the section where notes have been written, he takes a pause in his page flipping to try to examine these notes closer. ]

[trustwellness]

[The notes are written in simple handwriting - two different sets, from the look of it. The first set is blocky and awkward, the second is unflourished but more practiced-looking and deliberate.

"does it really work like that do you think", says the first, with a crudely-drawn arrow drawn toward a passage explaining how that book's particular time travel mechanic works.

The second set seems to be an answer. "I don't know. Maybe we should ask the bunny."]

[tsugomori]

[ Mikazuki feels himself clenching the book a little harder than he already was before as he stares at the handwriting as if he were trying to glean anymore answers from it. After that fruitless moment, he'll probably examine the passage itself because of the fact that the notes seemed to be discussing (albeit briefly) about a time-travel mechanism.

Is there anything to note within that description or is that not all that important? ]

[trustwellness]

[It's actually not all that important; it makes about as much sense as your average sci-fi phlebotinum nonsense makes.]

[tsugomori]

[ Alrighty then, it looks like he may be just about done here... probably. There's nothing else of note if he looks through the book right? Just for the sake of being thorough here. ]

[trustwellness]

[There isn't, no!

Are you going to look through anything else, or are we calling it a day?]

[tsugomori]

[ ... well, actually. There was one other place he wanted to look at in the library before concluding his search. If he is able to, if he moved the books around in this section of the library (specifically the shelf he placed the book right back in), would there be anything to be found, like something that's been left behind by someone (more notes or an item)? ]

[trustwellness]

[There aren't any more notes on the shelves themselves! It does look like there might be something pressed up behind some of the books, though.]

[tsugomori]

[ Well then. He'll try to take a gander at this object that is pressing up against those books, and move anymore books out of the way that could be blocking the whole thing from sight if necessary. What is he looking at, exactly? ]

[trustwellness]

[It looks like a silk flower - the decorative sort that you'd put on clothes or in your hair. It's pink and kind of cute?]

[tsugomori]

[ It really is cute! He'll take it.

... As tempted as he is, he'll resist putting it in his hair for now, but it's probably easier if he puts it on his clothes so he doesn't lose it. Well, it looks like he's done here (and with the whole investigation) if there's nothing else in the shelves? ]

[trustwellness]

[It's got a little pin on the back of it, so attaching it to your clothes will be no problem!

And you're good here, Mikazuki, all done. o/]
