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

[It's her timeline graph again! There's a new node labeled "manufacturing (NO)" attached to the Cx branch off of "execution".

For that matter the Cx label now has a giant question mark on it, too.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh, wait, ]

You remembered something new?

[ HOPE SHE DIDN'T SURPRISE YOU... ]

[plentyfriendly]

[HI there.]

New, horrible, and, at least in part, it doesn't make sense yet.

[matchbreaker]

Okay.

[ She hums, and then motions for them to sit opposite at the chess table ]

Why're you still working on it in here?

[plentyfriendly]

Habit, I guess.

[Although she's only done it once before. Maybe not.]

[matchbreaker]

Weird.

Well let's hear it.

[ Because elda is clearly entitled to an explanation... ]

[plentyfriendly]

I told you before about how we knew that civilization might end, right? Well, what I remembered was what happened at Dcom that led to that.

But, in the future that results, two people are alive that have supposedly died.

[matchbreaker]

[ ??? ]

... So wait, are you saying they came back to life, or what?

[plentyfriendly]

Not necessarily. A simpler explanation might be that Zero lied about them dying.

[But it's not the only one.]

[matchbreaker]

Oh, so you didn't see 'em! Yeah, that would make sense!

[ A beat - ]

And you don't know if they're in order, right?

[plentyfriendly]

No, I know this was after the execution vote. I checked the bracelet for the time.

[...it's a watch]

[matchbreaker]

Oh good, that's convenient.

[ Still not sure she gets it. But o . k . ]

So these're all different things which happened on the chart thing, right?

[plentyfriendly]

Yeah, but there's only three things on it.

The voting period for the execution lasted from 12:00 to 13:30. Both of the other things I've remembered start at 18:00; they're just in different timelines.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . . ]

Wait, timelines?

[plentyfriendly]

Well, how would you explain two events that took place at the same time?

[I mean, it could just be a different day but that seems especially unlikely in this case in particular.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda is from modern low fantasy not scifi though, so: ]

Different days?

[plentyfriendly]

I doubt it. There's a few reasons why, but to be fair I didn't explain.

[So strap in.]

On December 31, 2028, the day the Decision Game began, there was a lunar eclipse. When Diana, Sigma, and I got out, that lunar eclipse was happening.

[matchbreaker]

Don't those only last a few hours?

[ Or has she been wrong all this time. Did she mean there was going to be and their was, or there currently was at both instances and all this took only a few hours ]

[plentyfriendly]

Well yeah. I probably should have said there was going to be one. Slip of the tongue.

Anyway, the blue button can't have come after that, since we were still in the Decision Game.

[matchbreaker]

How the devil can you remember two histories though? Wordsmith saying he can make someone never exist is one thing, but that's ... different.

[plentyfriendly]

That's my ability. I can send my consciousness through time, to other histories.

[In a little less than two days this will have Implications.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . .

What the fuck do you even say to that? ]

[plentyfriendly]

[Whatever you want, really?]

I mean, not all the time. It's a lot easier when I'm in mortal peril.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . .

she-

starts to say something, fails, and then starts again. And then fails again. And then shakes her head vigorously ]

Man, you live a weird life!

[plentyfriendly]

More like multiple weird lives.

[She's almost died so many times.]
