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

[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!]

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.]

[matchbreaker]

Does that mean that when you die here you're going to go and warn us about something in another time?

[ She thinks she gets it??? mayb???

What the fuck??????? ]

[plentyfriendly]

If it affects everyone, sure. Like, say... if we get into a tight spot in a trial down the road.

[Provided there's another trial at all, of course.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . She's got it! She snaps her fingers, ]

So if we're not sure who the criminal is some time in the future we should just all vote for you so you can warn us and make it not happen!

[plentyfriendly]

I wouldn't recommend it. We might as well give it our best shot anyway. Try to hang the jury or something like that.

[There's an even number of people alive, after all.]

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, but if I made you look real guilty, who'd vote for someone else?

[ . . . Elda has not yet comprehended that people are voting for not-the-killer in some cases yet ]

[plentyfriendly]

Do you really think everyone else here is voting for the killer every time?

[For Kira, sure, but...]

Just think about Estelle or Vanille. I'm pretty sure when we had to vote to kill Alani, they broke down crying.

[Come to think of it, she needs to talk to Vanille more.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Wait what- ] Of course they did! But fish girl still did it!

[ And she had a serious talk with Orihime about this!! Well sort of !! ]

[plentyfriendly]

Well, yeah. But you've had a couple centuries to learn that people are illogical.

[For the most part.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh... Oh. Oh. She-

... She bites her nail. ]

... Shit. [ And what's more- ] ... I didn't mean that I don't like you, by the way.

[ See, she can be nice! Sort of. ]

[plentyfriendly]

No offense taken.

[She gets it. She's prickly herself anyway.]

[matchbreaker]

[ But putting all that aside- ]

So you're remembering some resets, basically? Is there any way to know which one's first, or does it not even work like that?

[plentyfriendly]

Not completely.

[Look, she isn't even sure what order things happened for her on the Moon.]

But I seem to have realized I'd shifted into the blue button room from another timeline, so it's clearly not the first one I experienced. I'm not sure offhand whether or not getting tased would count as enough danger to set it off subconsciously...
