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!]

[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.]

[oyashiromama]

I know. But we all need a little assistance every once in awhile, don't we?

[She sets it down on a table, and- oh, the only thing she forgot is a drink, oops.]

I didn't know how much sauce you like, so I just decided to bring the bottle along instead.

[foundfate]

True, we do.

[He will come over to take some of the food, and he ends up putting not too much sauce on it. With nothing to drink, he doesn't want to burn his mouth.]

What did you dream of, last night?

[oyashiromama]

Aah... Well, I... A turning point.

[It feels good to say that.]

It still ended in failure, but...I remembered learning how to make a miracle.

[foundfate]

...a miracle? Like, you'll be able to make it work the next time?

[oyashiromama]

[She nods.]

It... It will be the last chance we have, but I feel...if ever we were going to defy our fate, it would be now. I remember feeling ready to fight again.

[foundfate]

[That sounds...kind of scary, actually. One last chance? Could they do it without messing up?]

It sounds like a lot of pressure, but you can do it, right?

[oyashiromama]

[Again, she nods.]

I know now, who it is who's been killing Rika. I know...the nature of my powers, they rely on belief. Not just others', but my own.

So, I will believe. I'll believe that we can make a miracle, and if I do, for the first time in a hundred years, we will.

[This is unlike how Hanyuu's been before. She smiles, and those words are more sure than anything she's ever said.]

I hope...that could extend to here, as well.

[foundfate]

[It's different because she's determined, clearly. Watanuki can't help but smile.]

I'm sure it will. If you're here, then everything will be alright.

[oyashiromama]

[She can't help but blush a little.]

A-au- oh, b-but not just me. You too. And Orihime, and Elda, and Silver...everyone alive, and everyone...who is no longer with us. No one left out.

[foundfate]

[Even those who are no longer with them...

Watanuki nods in agreement.]

Yeah. All of us, then.

[oyashiromama]

[A gentle smile.]

And what...did you dream about? Do you want to talk about it?

[foundfate]

It's...

[He almost shakes his head, but decides against it. Varric told him to trust Hanyuu, didn't he? And he had told Hanyuu about his dreams before, so.]

My memory's not so great, even outside of this place. Apparently I have a hard time telling what's real and what's a dream.

[oyashiromama]

[Ah... It's as she worried, weeks ago. His memory problems have come up again, and...they're more than the rest of theirs. She radiates concern.]

Your life's...a mix of dream and reality? How is that possible?

[foundfate]

More like my dreams feel so real that, looking back on it, it's hard to tell when I was awake and when I was asleep. And my memory loss, the stuff not caused by the Wordsmith, might be related to that too.

[oyashiromama]

And...this is something you're only realizing now? What made you come to this? What did you remember that sparked this realization.

[foundfate]

I remembered asking Yuuko about it, specifically. And she didn't really confirm or deny it. She just told me that 'if I wished hard enough, my dreams could become real.'

[He feels like a much shittier version of Pinocchio or something.]

[oyashiromama]

[What...the hell...]

I can't...really say I understand fully but...wishes, and belief...they are powerful things.

[...]

What do you think of this, Watanuki?
