WEEK 6.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 6 With the deaths of Viktor Nikiforov, Varric Tethras, and Killia, you're down to half of your original number. There's only fifteen of you left. How much longer before your number drops again? 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... Of course, that doesn't mean that you've gained nothing else among the many, many losses you've faced; it seems that another floor has been made available to you for surviving another week. Congratulations and well done, even if you might not necessarily appreciate the reward. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 15

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[OOC: Welcome to week six 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!]

[Elda, she doesn't know what to do with you sometimes...

But well, getting called on that just makes it worse. Worse enough that she's using a hand to cover it up.]

Your irritating observation is noted, Elda.

[What did she do to deserve this, she has done nothing wrong.]

[matchbreaker]

No! No, no, no! It-- Anything that's hard about being a vampire is because of the damned humans! And none of that, none of that is worth us abandoning her!

[ . . . Oh wait she didn't mean to say that.

But she sure is shaking Silver now ]

[feistytrader]

Yeah, no problem.

[But Mikazuki is right. There is something he wanted to do here, and he's got the right tools to do it, so he pulls out a piece of tape and uses it to cover up one of his dislikes so he can write in something different.

likes: his dad
dislikes: his dad

ikes: his dad
dislikes: wordsmith]

There.

[Done and done.]

[matchbreaker]

It is cute, if you want reassurance of that fact! Why, you look ten years younger!

[ Isn't Elda a good friend... ]

[foundfate]

It's...

[No, he should be honest with her. He sighs, and then he starts again.]

The dream I had, it wasn't a good one. So I needed a little time to clear my head.

[foundfate]

[Well, the fact that he's not outright refusing the food is a good sign that yes, he's hungry.]

I would've cooked my own eventually, you know.

[But he'll give up on his search of books to come over for food.]

[foundfate]

...

You are absolutely unbelievable, you know that?

[He'll take the bowl of ice cream, though. Sadfood is a go!]

[tsugomori]

Oh, Japan is just one island, but I've never seen an archipelago yet.

[ ... He almost thought Guzma said 'Aloha' for a moment, there. ]

Hmm, what do you think is the best thing about your home island?

[feistytrader]

You get no sympathy from me when it comes to food.

[...This is the definition of sympathy when it comes to food, but that's not important. He'll hold onto the rice without eating it to see if Watanuki will take it later.]

[oyashiromama]

[The bed's made up, all nice clothes folded away in the closet. The time during which that horrible fight began, she'd tidied everything on up.]

Come, sit on the bed, alright, dear?

[Does Vanille have Alani's flower in her hair? Just to set the scene.]

[elepe]

Elda...

[Said through grit teeth. Why are you like this. She did not sign up for this--]

Your insight. Is noted for future reference.

[feistytrader]

You don't know if you abandoned her or not.

[He's not protesting to the shaking much, though.]

[matchbreaker]

Careful! If you grind like that, it'll hurt your pearly whites!

[ Wahahaha.......!!!

Blows on her nails again, and slides towards Lusamine. ]

[matchbreaker]

The damn secret said her memory got erased! What else could that mean?!

[ She's flailing now, still sort of. Yeah more shaking ]

[feistytrader]

Did it say why? Did it say you abandoned her? Do you think the Wordsmith would've left that out if you did?

[matchbreaker]

[ But-

... But so what if that's a good point?

she stops shaking him, but she bites her lip, looking very, surprisingly for a moment vulnerable. ]

What's wrong with her...

[foundfate]

[Possibly. He's making quick work of that ice cream, at least.]

You act as though I'm going to starve away to nothing. I'm not that stupid.

[trustwellness]

[The moment you'll open it, you'll discover that the pages are hollowed out. There's also a bronze key inside! Jackpot indeed!]

[elepe]

[Why are they friends...

At least watching her blow on her nails is a distraction, and she hesitantly comes closer.]

I take perfectly good care of these, thank you very much.

[trustwellness]

[Good guess, actually - if you're looking through all the lockers in the women's changing room, you'll come across something a bit odd in one of them - a lockbox! It has a keypad with letters on it for you to enter some kind of password. Unsurprisingly, it's locked.]

[introspects]

Ah-aha, I only wish I were that psychic...!

[ she offers a weak laugh, but it fades quickly as he speaks. how...how can he stay so positive throughout all of this? when someone so important to him...left?

but then he mentions her name, saying he's happy she's alive. even when she'd contributed in sending killia to his death. ]

...I'm glad you're alive, too. Life...everything comes to an end, but it's not supposed to be like this.

[oyashiromama]

I'm touched. [She returns the smile, tenfold.] A lot of people...took an interest in my well-being last week, regarding food, but...no one's ever made me breakfast in bed before.

Thank you, Vanille. [She makes some room on the bed- she hasn't had enough time to get it straightened out yet, but it'll do for now.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Because you love her...

Maybe...

idek... ]

Oh, I can tell. Your whole appearance is really well kept, it's something I thought was admirable about you from day one.

[feistytrader]

It doesn't matter if you'll starve or not. If you don't eat, you'll grow weak, and if you're weak, you're an easier target.

[He says that much, then holds out the rice as well.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Wait. What?

If she shakes it, does it make any noise? And either way, she's looking around that locker it's in to see if there's anything else in there. ]
