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

Well, depends on what it is, right? I guess if it was like, a big secret, probably not.

If it's bad enough that someone would kill over it...

Something they couldn't stand even strangers knowing? It'd have to be REALLY bad... I mean, I've done some stupid shit, but-

...no, its entirely possible.

[It's something Bruce can easily relate to - he's got a whole bunch of secrets of his own, after all. Things he know he can never share no matter what. Its easy enough to see how that can go to taking decisive action.]

From last week, we can already see that the Kingmaker will use anything he feels necessary to have somebody take action. For all his claims of 'giving us a choice', he's essentially driving all of us to a corner.

...

[He remembers the shame he felt when Yu saw his Shadow. And if he had something much worse being exposed... he nods. Yeah, he can see it being something someone would kill over]

No one's gonna admit to havin' a big secret. But everybody's got one.

Can't exactly lump them into one heap, though. Everyone's got secrets... but there's no telling how big one is... until it's out there.

[Stan shrugs.]

That's what I'm sayin'. There's no way to know what anybody's hidin'.

There is an easy way to solve that!

[...look, somebody's got to be That Asshole suggesting that we all just stand on a table and yell our secrets to the room at large]

...yeah, we'll probably all tell the truth. 'Cause that's a thing people do.

W-Well! You'd think they would, if it came down to saving their own life and all!

[...Mettaton. Honey.]

I would, if I thought mine would make me less likely to be stabbed rather than more.

Unfortunately, it's not the case.

[Oh, for fuck's sake- ]

So you'd prefer he just hold it over your head to use at his leisure. Fine. Fine! Just don't say I didn't present the option when we had the chance to take it.

[...Mettaton...]

It's not a bad idea.

Of course it wasn't! How the hell was I supposed to know that you just prefer sitting under the Sword of Damocles?

...If I'm waiting to see if someone will dump me into a boiling pot, should I jump into it myself?

...I'm with him on this one. [Gesturing to Mettaton.] Ya can't just say things like that.

Thought we were in agreement that you can't expect people with secrets to spill them.

Sure, but you don't keep secrets by tellin' everybody you've got one.

Doesn't everyone?

I'll have to be in agreement here. Knowing a man's secrets might just do him in like anything else the Conductor could throw at you.

Thank you.

[At least someone isn't mad at him for being an idiot.]

....Then again, putting it out there that you are hiding something just begs to make itself known.

[He crosses his arms.] Should watch out for that.

That's a hypothetical, right? I'm sure that's entirely hypothetical.

[please don't do this, Cherryblod, he thought you had sense]

[He's not answering that question out loud. Draw your own conclusions.]
