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

[ "Now that I think about it, Kira might be as pure as you are, Misa. Kira's using the notebook not for himself, but for the betterment of the human world..."
"Yeah. Kira was doing it to make the world a better place. You didn't even know that, shinigami?"
...
"The current Kira is a vile and pathetic human. Who knows what he'll do? Watch out for him and the other Yotsuba people. ...If worst comes to worst, I'll kill him, but I'd rather not die for this scumbag. I want to be around for some insurance. You'll know who Kira is, but you'll have to trust Light and do as he pleases."

Well, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. She already loves Light more than anything. That much was certainly obvious. ...But this Kira in the Yotsuba Group, that was just plain weird. Could it really be true? And why didn't she recognize Rem..? These dreams were making her head hurt the more she thinks about them...

"You haven't changed, Misa. Those feelings for Light will never change, will they...? I also now believe that your happiness is found by staying by Light's side and supporting him."

Ugh, where is Rem now..? The more she thinks about it, the more she wants to hug her tight, but...why couldn't she see her? And why didn't she have her eyes? She didn't have them in her dream, either...

"No matter how much you want to help, you must not reveal the existence of the notebook or me to anyone."

Well, for now, that shouldn't be too difficult. She's already been keeping mum and playing off her actual feelings about well, that whole thing to begin with, and she's found that was already paying off for her, as much as it pained her to say things like that sometimes. But this is a desperate circumstance, and she's positive that things are a bit better this way.

Even so, after everything that happened with Cherry yesterday...

Ugh. The terror is gone, and the rage she wanted to feel before is in full swing, overshadowing the questions she still has about her dream. As much as she loves having the stage in the music room now, because that'll definitely help with the talent show she wants to plan out, she can't bring herself to do much more than sit in front of the piano and just...kind of bang on the keys a bit. Not exactly elegant or graceful, really. But she's trying(?)

After that passes, she'll be in the game room; though she doesn't really want much to do with blackjack, she's playing single-card solitaire with herself; a pretty easy game, all things considered, but she's still having some trouble, it seems! ]

Let's see, uh, the four goes...

[ She can use some help with her spread, if someone would care to assist..! ]

[goingdigital]

Over here.

[Taichi keeps it short and simple as he points to the five of hearts.]

[happysweets]

O-oh, right! There it is!

[ And down goes the four of spades! ]

Are you good at solitaire? Misa-Misa doesn't usually play, but, she's always wanted to teach herself! So that's what I'm doing right now..

[goingdigital]

Heh.

[What an odd girl. Cute, but odd.]

As good as anyone else, at least! It's a great way to kill time at the very least.

[happysweets]

I usually prefer something you can play with two players, though! But if you want to challenge me, I'd rather not do a card game...

[ Not after yesterday, at least. ]

Are there any board games you're okay at?

[goingdigital]

Likewise!

[No kidding]

How about a game of Battleship?

[happysweets]

Oh! Oh! I know that one! I'm pretty good at it, too! Misa-Misa is really good at hiding all of her ships!

[ LET'S DO THIS ]

So, so! What will we wager, hm? I'll let you decide the rules of engagement, since Misa-Misa is so nice! A game's not a game without a little bit of risk!

[goingdigital]

Good! It wouldn't be any fun if the ships were easy to find!

Heh! Thanks! How abooooooooooooooout...

[He couldn't say what his teenage heart truly wanted.]

How about the loser has to seduce the old detective for the rest of the week?

[happysweets]

I think you might be setting yourself up pretty badly with that if you lose...but that's fine. Misa-Misa accepts your challenge!

[ And so, the stage of battle is set! ]

Misa-Misa will go first and go dead-center! E5!

[notjustawriter]

[It's been a while since he's spoken with Misa.

Gabriel sits down near her, watching curious.]

Playin' solitare? I don't think I've played the real game in years; nowadays it comes with computers.

[happysweets]

I've never really played before! Misa-Misa has been sort of teaching herself...I've never done it even on the computer.

But it's really tricky! Sometimes it's hard to find space...

[notjustawriter]

A lot of it's the luck of the draw, really.

You can't win every game, but it's relaxing.

[happysweets]

I wish it was a little more so...right now, Misa-Misa is just confused.

[ She's bad with numbers.. ]

Misa-Misa is waaay better at crosswords...

[notjustawriter]

Hmm, let's see here.

[He glances over at the cards for a moment.]

Oh! Look at that, the Jack of spades. You can put it here.

[happysweets]

Oh, oh! That means I can put my red 10 stack over there! You're good at this!

After this game is over, we should play Spit! Have you ever tried? I think you would like it!

[notjustawriter]

I don't think I've ever heard of Spit, no. How do you play it?

[happysweets]

It's pretty easy! It goes like this! Basically, we have to try and shed our decks as fast as possible! We both get our own piles that are a little bit like solitaire's, but, we have two stacks in the middle, too, and we can try and put things on top of each other's middle stacks as well, to mess each other up! So, we have our solitaire stacks like this...and then, in the middle, we have face-up cards. We have to put a card that's either higher or lower on top of those! And suit doesn't matter!

Um...it's easier to just show it to you! Here, take a deck and make a solitaire pile, I'll show you what to do from there!

[clubleader]

Right there!

[ And she smiling, tapping a finger against a five. ]

[happysweets]

Perfect! You have way better eyes than Misa-Misa! Honestly, I'm so bad at focusing sometimes...

[clubleader]

It's only because I've been playing games for so long! I used to be really bad at them.

[happysweets]

How did you get so good? Is it just practice..?

[clubleader]

Yup! And the threat of penalty games.

[happysweets]

What kind of penalty games are you used to, exactly..?

[clubleader]

Oh, you know... wearing ridiculous outfits, letting the rest of the members draw all over you, being forced to carry everyone's school bags on the walk home. Nothing that dangerous, but still bad enough you don't wanna be the loser.

[happysweets]

Woah! That sounds like it's super-embarrassing, though...do you win those a lot? Misa-Misa suddenly doesn't want to get on Mion's bad side...
