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

[ Killia finally made it to a meeting for once. He also didn't show up empty handed and brought a large tray of macaroni and cheese, along with a tray of sweet and sour meatball . He spends a large portion of the meeting listening (and eating) but when there's a lull he speaks up.]

I looked around the gym. The equipments all new, and there are vents by the sealing that look like they could be opened with something. [ He doesn't really know too much about tools, that's what the item merchants are for.]

I don't think anyone here could fit in them.

[plentyfriendly]

How new are we talking? New as in "we're the first people to use them" new?

[deofoled]

Yeah, looked like it.

[plentyfriendly]

Interesting. So there's some connection to the outside somewhere after all... or at least, that's one possibility.

[matchbreaker]

Not even the rabbit?

[ Elda herself is pretty tiny too, but Hopps is less than three feet. ]

[deofoled]

Not even her. A fairy and a wisp could, but they're really small.

[matchbreaker]

[ Hmmm.... ] What if we shoved her in there?

[feistytrader]

Could this fit in there?

[He holds up Weavile's Pokéball; it's semi-transparent, and Weavile waves from inside.]

[foundfate]

If that can fit in there, Mugetsu probably could too. But he doesn't have hands, so he wouldn't be able to do anything but look.

[acherontiastyx]

...actually, I was thinking about trying something out with that. I don't... want to say it too loud, though.

[feistytrader]

[...Well, Silver's just waving Guzma over. Come on, let's whisper.]

[foundfate]

Maybe we could get a tool from the workshop and open it, then. Even if it's too small to fit into, there might be something inside of it.

[deofoled]

Yeah, I think so. We'd need a light of some kind too.

[acherontiastyx]

...Okay, that kind of makes sense, since we haven't been able to get in the gym before. But... yo. There's something real messed up with the kitchen, my friends.

I mean, there's pretty small vents in there, too, like Killia's talking about. You know how we've been using it for this long, right? I inspected the crap out of the kitchen and everything looked brand new. Like, right outta the box. No stains, no chips, no nothing. The knives don't have any wear or anything. Brand freakin' new.

I actually took a plate and carved... uh...

[he draws a Team Skull logo on a spare sheet of paper.]

...this on it, right? So I put it behind some oatmeal because I figured nobody was gonna go for it, but this morning when I checked to see if it was still there, it wasn't. I didn't find it in the rest of the plates, either. It's just totally gone. Nobody took it, right? I'm kinda doubting it, but if anyone's seen it, this is gonna be slightly less creepy, I guess.

[plentyfriendly]

Was the plate itself removed? I donno if anyone's been keeping track of that.

[She's in a mood that's not great and trying her best to get through it anyway.]

[acherontiastyx]

I probably should've counted how many plates there were, but... it's just gone. Like someone hit a reset button on the kitchen or something.

[iaspis]

That's certainly odd.

Do you suppose that.... shadow creature saw it, and somehow was able to replace the plate? It sounds like a lot of work just to keep things pristine.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah... man, I don't know. Maybe it replaces all the plates every night. Like... I'm kind of tempted to leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight just to see what happens.

[tsugomori]

[ Is this the new ventgate? How curious...but that aside he'll pay close attention when he mentions the things that are brand new. ]

That is quite strange. But, no, I don't remember seeing a plate with that logo anywhere.

I'm guessing that something probably did take it though, just not us if no one ends up saying they did.

[acherontiastyx]

I guess either the shadow monster or the Wordsmith must have it now, if there's not... just some kind of reset button were everything's suddenly brand new again.

[oyashiromama]

I saw nothing of the sort. [...This is kind of-]

[acherontiastyx]

...

I mean, I probably wouldn't consider this to be that weird if it wasn't for. You know. Everything else about this place.

[ravagers]

I don't remember seeing it, either...

[iaspis]

How tall up are the vents, would you say?

If we had some sort of tool to remove them, and a light source, maybe I could see how far I could see into them.

[It would give them an idea before they decide to shove a Pokeball in there, at least.]

[deofoled]

[ Looks up at Jasper.]

You might be able to reach if you stretched a bit.
