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!]

Two vials of my preferred nail polish, for one. And then dozens and dozens of unrelated items ranging from dolls of Chiyuk to a war hammer to a necklace belonging to Estelle, or a cardboard cutout of Viktor.

In truth, much of it seems fairly random.

[byday]

That's what I was worried about. I was hoping there'd be some sort of pattern to what we're getting, or at the very least, a pattern to what items of our's were placed in it. But it doesn't seem to be working that way.

[matchbreaker]

[ Hmmmm.... ]

In terms of what I've returned... In addition to Estelle's jewelry, I also found an old drawing Orihime made. And a rock that Phi recognized as significant to her. A note book I'm certain was Kimbley's as well.

[byday]

There's items of personal significance in there, obviously. But things like the cardboard cutout are useless filler, and unfortunately, that's what we seem to be getting the most of. It's like playing the lottery.

[matchbreaker]

Mmmm, perhaps. Though I've found some use or enjoyment of them. I've gotten an outfit or two which nearly fit me last week.

[ That was pretty great tbh. ]

Even if a muzzle came out at the same time.

[byday]

...a muzzle.

[...okay, that's not important.]

Still, if those items don't belong to any of us, why would he put them in there?

[matchbreaker]

I suppose the answer to that could be in why we get the coins in the first place. I just see them next to my coffin, I've no idea why.

[byday]

He's clearly trying to get us to use the damn thing, but it just keeps getting filled up with junk. It might just be trying to get our hopes up.

[matchbreaker]

Perhaps.

[ She'll concede the possibility ]

But that seems so needless, even by the standards of this place. No, I wonder-

Tell me, Mr. Wayne, how many coins do you receive a week? Sportacus pointed out to me that not all of us receive them at the same rate. If it were about hope, wouldn't we all receive the same?

[byday]

On average, about 2 or 3 a week.

[Bruce raises an eyebrow.]

Do you think that there's a reason for that?

[matchbreaker]

If there is, I don't know it.

[ Elda shakes her head ]

There have been days I've awoken to two of three in one day.

[ Which means, for sure, there are different rates for coins ]

[byday]

Could be playing favorites.

[matchbreaker]

If that's the case, Hanyuu would have far more than me.

[ A beat ]

... Or Kimbley would have, depending, I suppose.

[byday]

...I'm sure Kimbley had hundreds of coins stuffed into his pillowcase. Too bad we'll never be able to find them.

[matchbreaker]

Couldn't we? We could search his room anew.

[ Or maybe that was a joke... ]

[byday]

[it was an attempt! he's no joke at jokes.]

I would've thought people had already looted his room.

[matchbreaker]

...Probably.

[ She- ]

If they could stomach the walls.

[byday]

...Touche.

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda shakes her head. She looks down at the table, sighing a little as she does ]

I also got a See-Dee that Gold liked.

[ WHAT IS CD? ]

[byday]

[COMPACT DISC? COCOA DISPENSER?]

Do we even have a way of playing CDs?

[matchbreaker]

[ She points at her Portable Gaming System which because of bullshit Cam and I decided on seems to be able to ]

That thing, apparently.
