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

...I mean. It doesn't surprise me that there are people who care more about their property than your life.

[firstaid]

I... certainly know a lot of those people back home. They will do anything, including take lives, to achieve what they want, whether it's protect a property or expand it.

[acherontiastyx]

...Do magical boys do the clothes changing thing?

[matchbreaker]

I don't know, magic isn't even real in my dimension!

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, well, some guys can't even be sarcastic like that. Friggin' weird, yo.

...and yeah. Okay.

[elepe]

[...She doesn't trust Hanyuu. That much is...not necessarily clear on her face, but it's more in mentality. She doesn't trust her. She can't trust her.

So...she settles for something placating, looking away again.]

...Tell me. As a god...have you ever felt like you have failed the people you were supposed to protect?

[feistytrader]

[...You know, he's totally fine with accepting this banana.]

Bananas are tasty too. Not as tasty as ice cream, though. ...Or Nanab berries.

[But he's happily munching away anyway. At least he's pretty easy to work with like this.]

[feistytrader]

It looks kind of tasty [???] but it looks a little too big to eat, too.

[But maybe big orange gem ladies have jaws that unhinge or something.]

[acherontiastyx]

Looks can be deceiving, though. I mean, he could just want you to think that.

[tsugomori]

I see, I see...

[ He smiles a bit to himself again... ]

Miss Xiaolan reminds me a little of yourself, by the way.

[plentyfriendly]

True enough, maybe that was a little unfair.

Oh, do you have a problem with extra salty?

[The flavor is more concentrated if you fry it wit the sauce... and she wants a lotta sauce.]

[firstaid]

[She gives him a puzzled look.]

Does she? I think she's quite more formidable than I am. To do so much for her family, I think it's amazing.

[tsugomori]

Maybe, but...

[ ... ]

... she is the type to try her best, even if things don't work out at first, right? It could be that is what I'm thinking of.

[oyashiromama]

A-aah?! Oh no, to the dead...?! B-but we just figured out how to contact them, I wouldn't want to make anyone feel bad on their first letter!

[oyashiromama]

Like...creating your own dream... But while you're awake?

[oyashiromama]

Mmhm. Exactly. ...I really am glad to hear you saying this.

[matchbreaker]

Come now, come now! It needn't be so dramatic! Maybe it could simply be a letter written by someone else that you wrote, or an invitation to our wedding or some other such fanciful nonsense.

[ . . . Wait. ]

[oyashiromama]

Of course, you don't need to force yourself. You've had something, that's what matters.

[oyashiromama]

Ah...

[...]

It...must have been a gift, but at the same time...a sad reminder. I'm sorry, Mikazuki.

[plentyfriendly]

Not completely. It couldn't change the actual shape of the room, for one.

[oyashiromama]

...Oh, like something the Ryuun once made! Does it double as a phase transfer system?

[...ancient super advanced race, hanyuu are you fantasy or sci-fi]

[oyashiromama]

[...Oh. A contemplative expression rises to her face.]

I... Yes. More times than I can count.

[elepe]

How does it make you feel?

[...she should be more specific.]

To be more precise...what do little things that remind you of them do to you?

[firstaid]

I suppose she is. I'm... not sure if that compares to me at all, though.

[Even if Estelle is aware she's as stubborn as a mule.]

I think I'm a little jealous of Xiaolan. She has a family she loves... and so many people she cares for that have been with her for her entire life.

[firstaid]

...I'm happy I can say this too. I... didn't know if I would be okay after last week, but I decided I couldn't wallow in despair anymore.
