WEEK 9.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 9 The only two deaths this past week were due to rule violations; Bruce Wayne and Kimihiro Watanuki have joined the deceased. The deceased, however, still seem to be among you - that is, if Noir is to be believed. Either way, one thing is clear: for the first time in two months, a week has passed where no one has murdered. With no trial, Saturday is relatively quiet. 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... Once again, there are no new floors available to you; is this a good sign, or just claustrophobic? Either way, the air has been seeming a little heavier nowadays, despite the lack of murder - but who knows, maybe it's all in your head. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 8

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ Elda was about to respond to Hanyuu when suddenly Silver s back and then some fucking animals call come in and get on her bed as she's still drying off her hair and what the fuck.

What.

The fuck.

SHE- bares her fangs at them, to assert dominance. ]

I should have seen that coming.

[trustwellness]

YOU AREN'T, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

THIS PLACE ISN'T ANYWHERE I'M USED TO, NOR IS IT ANYWHERE I'VE BEEN AN OVERSEER. IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE ENTIRELY, WHICH MEANS I HAVE NO EARTHLY CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING HERE.

[elepe]

Really. And here I figured that you would have preferred it like that.

[Considering how haughty she was when she first arrived.]

Why is that so unusual?

[oyashiromama]

[?!? Hanyuu rushes out of the bathroom at that noise, having wrestled with her wet hair enough and gotten changed, and...

Ah.]

Aah... Au. Hello, all of you. [...She'll walk over and pet Weavile and Aibo.]

[acherontiastyx]

oh.

well, i mean, when it comes right down to it, the solution seems like it's gonna be "fuck the man" regardless of where we are. so.

[oyashiromama]

[Ah... Well that sure is a downer.]

When usually...do you wake up, when that is the case?

[trustwellness]

PROBABLY A VALID SOLUTION REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE, TO BE HONEST.

[feistytrader]

[Mugetsu, you're the only well behaved one, staying by his neck and oh there he goes too.]

I'm sorry.

[Why are you guys like this. Aibo and Weavile appreciate being pet, but Honchkrow's going to butt in to try to get pet too. ...Polibo waits politely, at least.]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Are you punks ignoring her.

And crowding her off the bed? ]

[oyashiromama]

[Th- there's enough for you too, Honchcrow- and Mugetsu, oh no there are too many--]

N-now, now there's room enough...for everyone...

[help]

[matchbreaker]

Sundown, generally. Maybe somewhat before as to prepare my hair.

... Though I can adapt for you.

[matchbreaker]

I do! I simply... did not expect it.

[feistytrader]

[Weavile finally acknowledges Elda and hops right in her lap; Aibo settles down next to her to sit in the center, while Polibo gets comfy closer to her legs.

Silver picks up Honchkrow and finds a corner to get settled in, however; he's got his pillow on the wall to lean back on. ...There isn't enough room for him, and he's imposing. He can take the floor.]

[oyashiromama]

I don't like to wake up at such an early hour as we have been here...and it's not like Rika or Satoko need me up then either.

[matchbreaker]

You don't? But you so often get up without incident, here.

[ Elda said, sitting up and brushing back her hair. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ WHO SAID- you could all get so close to her?! She sort of swats a little at aibo before she catches herself, doesn't even think to resist Weavile, and then... Just sort of sighs at Polibo. Ugh, man. ]

We took in a boy and got a zoo, didn't we?

[elepe]

Think of it as being an influence on him. Whether it's good or bad is up to you, but you're clearly doing something right.

[...she smirks a bit.]

Really, it's odd to see you so startled over it.

[matchbreaker]

I--- merely thought he might flock to you in that regard, is all!

[ Oh no, is she called out?!

Noooo. ]

[elepe]

He has, once or twice. Why, it sounds as though you may be becoming a mother hen in your own right!

[is it time

is it finally time to dox elda on her feelings

oh boy]

[matchbreaker]

Not hardly!

[ HUFF ]

I only have one child and three gandchildren, I'm not some universal mother!

[ . . . . But she does like Silver a lot and- ]

[elepe]

Perhaps you weren't weeks ago, but it sounds like you're ready to adopt. You like him well enough, don't you?

[this is amusing as fuck, let's poke the beedrill nest]

1/2

[matchbreaker]

[ I came here to have a good time and I'm feeling so attacked right now ]

[matchbreaker]

[ Cue the lamest mtb music ]

... Hardly! I've said nothing of the sort! What proof could you possibly have for such a bold claim?!

[elepe]

[well there's a point that we should've stopped

but let's keep going and see what happens.]

My, you're quite adamant on denying such a thing...

[Lusamine smirks a bit, recalling something from a few weeks prior.]

"You are a truly responsible boy, aren't you?. Diligent, and hard-working in all the ways that a father or mother might find admirable. T he sort of well well behaved miscreant which'll grow into a fine man in only five years time. A strong trainer, not to mention with a heart that can endure beyond what many, weaker men might. It is you, before all other humans, whom I first decided I would acknowledge. And it is you, who I wish that all other humans could be more like."

Tell me. Who could have spoken those words..?

[matchbreaker]

[ ... !! Oh no, to hear her words parroted back so perfectly?! Elda takes a step back from Luamine, her eyes shifting hard into a defensive predatory mode. Elda cups her arms around herself a little, but then just as quickly flexes her claws and looks hard at the woman, standing her ground! ]

Ah, but I was dared to praise the boy during that situation, the same as you were!
