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

Usually you play with a tiled map and figures, but if you don't have figures any small objects to stand in for your characters will do.

[bloodisthicker]

...characters...? Is there a story to these things, then?

[...this is sounding kind of intriguing, actually.]

[cherryblooded]

Usually? One person controls the antagonists, and the other players each have a single character, and they work together to defeat the opponents. There's typically an overarching story, often about heroism or exploring dangerous places or such.

It's been a long time since I played, but I remember having fun with it.

[bloodisthicker]

...huh. You know, that actually does sound like a pretty good time. I guess it sounds like something I would've liked better as a kid than now, but if there's nothing else to do... there's no real point in not trying it.

[cherryblooded]

Maybe someone will get a game together? You usually need about four people, if I'm remembering right.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, you have the experience, don't you? Maybe if you got the word out that someone was running a game for new players, we'd get another... oh, two people.

[cherryblooded]

I'm rusty. I'd have to review all the rules first if I was going to run a game.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh... huh. Well, maybe someone else knows how to run one, then.

Or we could just make things up as we go.

[cherryblooded]

That might devolve into anarchy quickly.

Which isn't to say it doesn't sound fun.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, everything has a proper time and place. While anarchy is usually completely unacceptable, it's perfectly fine when it's involved in some kind of silly game where there are no actual stakes.

[cherryblooded]

Forgive my word choice. I forgot you were a government official for a moment.

[bloodisthicker]

No, no, I didn't really think poorly of it, since... well, like I said, I know it wasn't applying to anything that actually mattered.

[cherryblooded]

Some people are more sensitive about that sort of thing.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, if you actually advocate the dissolution of government and the rule of chaos in a real-world sense, I'd have to have some words with you.

[cherryblooded]

I promise you I don't. I think our monarchy is doing just fine, really.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, well, that's good. ...I can't say that for the monarchies where I'm from, but mostly it just depends.

[cherryblooded]

There are occasionally problems with succession... to put it lightly. But when you're as long-lived as we are, if you have a good ruler, they tend to stay around for a long time.
