trusthell | WEEK 4.

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.

I'll probably see if Silver wants one and leave the others out, yeah. [...] What're your kids like?

[like, he's assuming that sportacus somehow reproduced, or maybe he just split off like some kind of weird cell]

They're wonderful! They're really good kids; they don't always do the right thing right away, but they always try their best! There's five: Pixel is the oldest, and Ziggy is the youngest, and Trixie and Stingy... And Stephanie. [and it's quite obvious from his tone that he has a clear favorite.

... and then he finally thinks "you know this could be very easily misconstrued.]

They're not actually my kids; I'm not their father. They live in the town I protect! Stephanie was the one who invited me, a long while back.

[Oh.]

I still can't believe you're a superhero, but I guess it's a lot more than cool gadgets and superpowers, huh. What do you protect it from?

I don't have any superpowers! [just getting that settled right off.]

Well, Lazytown is pretty quiet, so it's less natural disasters and more making sure the kids don't spend all day playing video games inside and eating candy. [man it sounds super lame when just. said like that...] Of course, if anyone's in any danger, I go rescue them! Sometimes people fall in holes. Usually Robbie. He also digs the holes.

[you are such an athletic piece of shit AND AS SOMEONE WHO IS PRETTY ACTIVE HIMSELF, ESPECIALLY NOWADAYS, Gold actually kind of appreciates that. Good for Sportacus.]

Why the hell is he diggin' holes?

He's a villain and trying to trap me.

[said like this is just completely normal and obvious.]

Oh, yeah, sure, of course.

[...]

Seriously?

... Yes? [is there a problem he sees no problem]

What kinda villain gets trapped in his own hole?! A Saturday mornin' cartoon?!

[beat]

I think he just forgets where he put it sometimes...

[... Fair.]

So why do you help him out? Ain't it better just to leave him in the hole where he can't mess with anyone?

Because it's the right thing to do. You can't just leave a person in a hole, even if they dug it themselves. [that sounds like a metaphor but is entirely literal.]

[that is entirely literal but gold's taking it both ways, goddamn sportacus, you're deep for a kid's show]

Yeah, alright, I get it. So is he tryin' to keep kids from bein' active?

[nods] He wants everything to be the way it was, before me and Stephanie got there. It was... very well-named, back then. And he thinks the best way to do that is to run me out of town forever.

[legit does not even sound mad about it. more amused than anything.]

[... oh my god]

But doesn't that make him the most active person in town?

[he grins]

What he doesn't know won't hurt him, I think!

[HOLY SHIT

SPORTACUS THAT'S SO

SO

UNDERHANDED AND SNEAKY Gold is so taken aback at first, but he's grinning and laughing soon enough.]

No-- No way! That's awesome! You're a really sneaky guy, Sporty, I didn't expect that outta you!

I don't like doing that sort of thing! [mind you] But... it's about the only time he ever comes out of his lair and plays with everyone! It's only to help him.

Then it's for the greater good! And honestly, I'm someone that plays by those rules too -- pretty much anything's fair game if things end up better off, you know? Even if it ain't exactly the most legal.

[... He's a delinquent.]

[just. completely flat expression.]

That's not my rules and you know it. [don't break the fucking law oh my god]

[he stole a cyndaquil to get back a stolen totodile once it was great

he was also breaking and entering just before that so he could catch a thief that wasn't the thief he was looking for

the number of times he's trespassed is amazing honestly]

Yeah, yeah, strict moral code. It's just the same kinda thing, even if you're followin' the law.

... Can you at least not tell me that you break the law? [please. hear no evil, etc.]

I don't break the law, I bend the rules 'cause what I'm doin' is right otherwise.

[it's Different and i am so sorry, sportacus.]

Bending is still breaking.

Do you break when you bend?
