trusthell | Week 3.

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

[Apparently he has a sweet tooth.]

Which would be... what, exactly? We have enough food.

[It still seems like a really big leap......]

I... don't know. [And he certainly sounds as lost, too.] We could ask everyone else what they think?

I'll ask around before I make an offer.

It's probably best to get everyone's opinion at least.

[Kind of like a petition, he supposes.]

At least Stan already has us covered on alcohol.

That's one concern taken care of.

[Not that Bruce is probably ever going to touch that.]

Do you drink much? I do on occasion, but usually it's to celebrate.

[Not much celebrating here.]

No, I've never drunk.

[He manages a smile here, but its sort of forced.

...its complicated.]

Good reason not to start. You can have a good time without it.

I appreciate the advice.

Not doing my job if I don't give advice to the younger generations.

You're doing a pretty good job of it right now, I would say.

Thank you, thank you. Means a lot to me.

That's good to know.

...suppose I wouldn't mind having a few more tokens from home.

That would be nice.

[...Bruce doesn't really have anything he would consider valuable, since he already had to put them all behind him long ago, so.]

A picture of my daughter would be lovely - my art doesn't do her justice.

Perhaps the vending machine might have it.

True. I could ask - he might even find that worth answering.

If not, he'll probably just be obtuse like he usually does.

[Which they're all familiar with by now, he's sure.]

Have you managed to get anything concrete out of him?

Not really. [Mostly because Bruce doesn't really talk to him unless needed, and most of the time it just goes to Bruce being frustrated at everything that the Kingmaker is doing. It's not really leading him anywhere.]

It's not concrete, but I think we're not in a desert, at least. He said something could be arranged for my wife if... last week's motive.

[Last week's motive... ah.

Bruce falls silent at that for a while. Last week... he knows (dreams?) better now, but the feeling of that lost, crushing sensation... it still haunts him. It's been a while since he had felt anything like that. Not since... well.

Best not to dwell on that.]

...I knew at that point I wasn't actually going to do it. I just wanted the information.

[Just to be clear. Doloz would never, ever forgive him for that.]
