Week 3.

[trustharder]

WEEK 3 Another week has passed; two more Survivors are gone. Pearl and Caren both had someone to fight for, someone worth killing for; perhaps it's for the best to hope that somehow they've found peace despite not being able to collect on the Kingmaker's incentive. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. That doesn't mean the night passed easily, though - it seems another piece of your personal puzzle may have fallen into place while you slept... Following that spiral staircase up to the second floor will reveal something strange; those stairs definitely lead far higher than you remember, up to a previously inaccessible third floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 23

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[cherryblooded]

I'd be happy to help you with that.

White or black?

[She should probably pick white since, strategical advantage...]

[clubleader]

[ Yep, that's definitely what she's going for. ]

White has it easier, right? I'll go with that.

[cherryblooded]

Good choice.

[He'll go to set up the pieces.

Let's handwave the crap out of this game since I can't chess for beans.]

[clubleader]

[ Yes let's I'm bad at chess too.

Needless to say, Cherryblod wins but not without a fight! It ends up being a long game, and while Mion is pretty inexperienced she's not bad for a chess beginner. ]

Wow, you're really good!

[cherryblooded]

Good game.

[He's gracious about it, at least.]

I've been playing for a hundred years, so I'd like to think I'm pretty good. You're surprisingly talented for a beginner.

[clubleader]

Hehe, thanks! You know, I keep forgetting you're over a hundred years old. You look good for your age, old man.

[cherryblooded]

I'm not even middle-aged...

[Seriously, why.]

[clubleader]

Ah... you age differently than humans, huh?

[ She's still gonna call him an old man, though. ]

[cherryblooded]

That's right. There's not a strict ratio of shrimp years to human years.

[clubleader]

That's pretty cool, actually... I never would have thought shrimp could live for so long.

[cherryblooded]

How long do they usually live where you're from?

[clubleader]

I'm not really sure... I can't remember what the textbook said, but I definitely know it's not over a hundred years. Maybe just a couple of years?

[cherryblooded]

...That's depressing.

[He can't even imagine.]

[clubleader]

It kind of is, isn't it... Maybe it feels longer than just a few years to them.

[cherryblooded]

Wonder what it's like, being that kind of a shrimp. Are they happy, until they get eaten...?

[clubleader]

I'm sure they are, especially if they're living out in the ocean.

[cherryblooded]

Can't argue with that one. The ocean's a lovely place to live.

[clubleader]

It sounds like it, from what you've told me. I still can't wait to see it myself one day.

[cherryblooded]

If you come by mine, I'd love to have you over for a visit.

[clubleader]

I'll seek you out for sure! And I'll bring gifts!

[cherryblooded]

You don't need to. Just bring your smiling face, that's all.

[clubleader]

Okay, deal. I'll just bring a small gift then.

[cherryblooded]

I guess if you insist, then there's no stopping you.
