WEEK 7.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 7 Oerba Dia Vanille, Phi, and Gangrel have joined the deceased, dropping your number even further. This is the second week that the death toll has risen by three, just by way of murder alone. With well over half of your number deceased, how much longer can this go on? 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... As before, it seems that door at the bottom of the stairwell has been unlocked, allowing you to descend even further into the depths of the university; perhaps the new floor holds something promising for you. Or perhaps you'll "christen" this one with another murder. Given the current pattern, that probably wouldn't be a surprise. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

INCENTIVE

[wordsmithery]

Gather in the foyer in ten minutes.

[It's the usual announcement, but today it sounds more like an order than a suggestion. But as always, wherever you are in the building the message is the same.]

I should hope, Apprentices, that by now we are well enough acquainted for those of you remaining to know not to take me for some kind of fool. If your goal was to communicate in secrecy behind my back, you failed in truly spectacular fashion.

I am going to outline this for you in explicitly clear terms. If none of you invoke Rule Seven by the end of the week, then your departed fellow Apprentices will be completely eradicated.

This is neither negotiable nor is it up for debate. I have laid out a choice for all of you, and I would advise you decide swiftly.

[acherontiastyx]

[...it actually takes a noticeable amount of time for Guzma to respond to that.]







Okay. So we're going harder on the power of life and death garbage. Because his power trip boner wasn't hard enough, I guess.

[matchbreaker]

[ ... Well that's just about the ultimate mood-killer. Elda might've been conflicted inside the last few days but she was happy. Now her face shifts to predatory and while she's probably going to bounce back, she also-

Is looking around suspiciously ]

[firstaid]

[Estelle just glares upon hearing that. She's just looking up as if attempting to glare at the voice that dared to give such an incentive.

There are no words, however, she doubts he'll respond to her anyway.]

[sportadork]

[scoffs] He's desperate. That's all.

[... AND YET SOME OF Y'ALL...]

[matchbreaker]

Of course he is.

[ That doesn't mean that it's not possible, though, and Elda-

Hmm. ]

[elepe]

[...oh. Oh no, no no no no no--

Lusamine looks...well, freaked out is probably the mildest word, but she's trying to keep herself composed. After everything that's happened, she can't fall for this, but...]

[oyashiromama]

[...oh

Hanyuu's frozen, and then her face shifts into a mask of determination. She's going to turn around and return to her room. ...Sorry, Elda, it's gonna be locked for awhile. She'll emerge a bit later, before the meeting.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Fucking rude, for the record. ]

Re: INCENTIVE

[foundfate]

[welp

There's an incentive for the ages.

After hearing that annoucement he looks even sicker than he did on Sunday.]

He's can't... no! That's completely unfair, they had nothing to do with this!

[introspects]

[ she is going to look over at watanuki nervously. he will know exactly why.

they're the ones who are going to bring everyone back to their worlds--they need everyone alive. ]

[tsugomori]

Oh, so stooping to threats, are we? Interesting.

[ Mikazuki calmly sips his tea. It's ...not like he's pleased but like hell he's giving the man the reaction he wants. ]

[iaspis]

[Once again, instead of shouting up a storm, Jasper just sort of freezes in place.

She looks incredibly bothered, terrified even, and she leaves without a word.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver does his best to keep his face calm, but anyone anywhere near him can definitely see his fists balled up and shaking.]

You're gonna pay for this, you bastard.

[byday]

[...Bruce comes to the incentive ready to be smug. "I thought we'd be over this whole thing by now." That sort of attitude. But this is bad. He grimaces.]

He's trying to play at everybody's emotions. Stay on your guard.
