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

[It's stuck! It will probably tear before it comes out cleanly. But the trunk, even with the stuff in it, isn't too heavy, either.]

[foundfate]

[Here, Watanuki will lift it up slightly, and Orihime can pull it out!]

[introspects]

[ sounds like a plan; tugging the note out now! ]

[feistytrader]

[Well, there's more than one note. There are many notes.

But hey, jackpot.]

[foundfate]

[Watanuki manages to get through about half of the names before he feels like he can't breathe anymore.

He's whispering to Orihime again.]

We shouldn't be reading this. He'll kill us if he knows we saw it.

[introspects]

[ crap, crap--he's right. this is...this is so hard to read. she freezes before she turns to watanuki, collecting the papers again. ]

Let's put it back.

[feistytrader]

[Surprise! Silver's opening the bathroom door and peeking back into his room. He's got a towel in his hair and everything, and Polibo looks pretty pleased. He jumps a little at first and ducks back into the bathroom for a moment because he isn't expecting to see anyone in his room, but once the reflex passes, he looks back into the room and realizes it's Orihime and Watanuki.]

You guys could have knocked, you...

[Know. Are those...? What the hell happened in here?]

...Oh. I guess not.

[Well, uh. Shit.]

[foundfate]

[Those papers are immediately going behind Watanuki's back. Maybe there's half a chance that Silver didn't realize what they were reading?]

Silver, hi! S-sorry about that, we were looking for you and your door was open.

[introspects]

[ oh man, what timing. u n l u c k y. orihime tries to play it cool like watanuki, though she's not...as good about it... ]

H-He's right! We were just, um, wanting to see if you had anything to eat yet?!

[feistytrader]

[...He pauses for a long moment, then scoops up both the game system and Polibo in his arms.]

If you guys want to finish reading those, then fine.

[And with that, he moves around them and climbs back up on the bed, because what the hell else is he supposed to do, at this point.]

[foundfate]

[WELP. So much for that idea.]

Not, that's- I'm sorry, we shouldn't be invading your privacy like that. I just saw a paper sticking out, and I got curious- but that's no excuse, I know.

[introspects]

I'm sorry, too. I...just got worried.

[ it's still no excuse... ]

[feistytrader]

You're right. You shouldn't be.

[And he's kind of annoyed about that, really. But at the same time...]

That stuff isn't pleasant, but if you're worried, I won't stop you from reading it. I trust you guys.

[foundfate]

How about we talk about it instead?

[Then they can at least get some context on Silver's thoughts there.]

[introspects]

If...If Silver-kun wants to, maybe we should.

[ she's not up for forcing anything out of him. ]

[feistytrader]

...I'm not a trusting person, even on a good day. This place is a terrible place to trust, too. And Gold's the opposite. He's stupid. Trusting. Reckless. He's never had to fear anything for a day in his life. So we wrote these notes together. It's where we decided who we were willing to kill, too.

[It's blunt, but there's no sense in prettying it up.]

Not that any of that matters anymore. Now I just get out my thoughts and keep it up out of habit.

[...And because he can't bring himself to get rid of what Gold wrote.]
