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

[ In the late afternoon, everybody will find a colorfully decorated paper slipped under their door, and a few larger posters in the dining hall, games room, and kitchen with cartoon-y drawings of the various inhabitants of the Vault (minus the Kingmaker, of course) partying it up, with an invitation underneath:

TOMORROW EVENING: LET'S HAVE DINNER TOGETHER!
MAKE AND BRING SOMETHING IF YOU CAN
FEATURING A SUPER FUN MYSTERY EVENT!!

So there's that!!


Otherwise, Yato can be found in the morning before the Kingmaker's announcement in the sewing room making himself the a fairly basic yukata. He's gotta wear something other than ceremonial robes every once in a while, and he's not really feeling the jumpsuits.


After the incentive, he disappears for a while, presumably working on the posters — but in the evening, he reemerges to occupy the kitchen, where he seems to be creating some sort of... extremely artistic fruit platter with a pair of knives, one large and one small for detail work. He's wasting almost nothing of the fruit getting them into fancy flower designs, though, and whatever he does need to cut loose just ends up in these cute fruit skewers. It's probably kinda obvious what he intends to contribute to the potluck party, huh.


... Finally, in the evening, after a remarkably busy day for him, he can be found lying stomach-down to the ground in the library. What is he doing, you might wonder. The answer is simple: crying dramatically. ]

... Hiyori! Yukine!! It's been so long since I saw your beautiful faces... [ sniff... ] Yukine, you better not have been unfaithful to me and run off to some other god... [ sniffing escalates ] Hu.....gh.... okay, I feel better now.

[ Apparently, he just needed ten minutes to be a dramatic wreck. He's done now. ]

Library

[ The bird happens to wander in at just the right time--Could walking into crying really be called one? Unused to the experience of having to console somebirdie other than himself, The King tries, nonetheless! It sounds pretty important. ]

Y-yes, The King said hello, in his worried voice? I-is the god alright?!

[capyper]

Oh, it's Your Highness! [ Just give him a second to wipe his face on his sleeves. He's okay! ... Probably!! ] Don't worry about it, Your Highness! I'm alright ... Just thinking about home.

[neverafters]

That sounds... not alright. But The King understands. [ He pauses a bit, before inquiring again. ] They are important to you?

[ He heard those names... ]

[capyper]

Yeah... they're the people I miss the most here. I even got my title from one of them, actually.

[ "Regaled". It must be because of how important Yukine, his Regalia, is to him. ]

But we're all like that here, I think! We all have important things we left behind.

[neverafters]

Oh... so The Kingmaker also knew about that.

[ The King frowns. ]

The King thinks... he would be mad if a special nickname was being used by someone as bad as him! [ Aren't titles like badges of honor?! ]

[capyper]

It is kinda annoying... but I don't mind! It's true that my relationship with my Regalia is super, super important to me, after all. That reminds me, though...

[ He's been curious about some of the titles that people have gotten. ]

What do you think of your title?

[neverafters]

[ It reminds me of bad memories
It's an unfunny joke
Why did you have to give me this, out of everything?
As his thoughts returned to a grim memory--The Bird King seems to momentarily turn a dark blue and grow a second, smaller head. ]

The King... does not know what to think of it.

[capyper]

[ ... okay, he thinks he's just going to back away from this topic, the King doesn't need to be growing extra heads... ]

Well, we all know he's got some pretty bad naming sense! I mean, who would ever call themselves Kingmaker willingly? It's just... so pretentious!

[neverafters]

[ At the least that seems to be the extent of his bad mood for the time being... He's back to normal soon enough. ]

The Kingmaker... is a waste of "King". The King is upset he doesn't treat anyone like a good leader should. Plus... he already knows your names but refuses to use them. [ LOOK WHO'S TALKING. ]

[capyper]

Right, right! And besides, we've already got a fine king right here, what do we need another one being made for?!

[ He's not even teasing he'd vote the King for their official king ]

[neverafters]

[ The King seems to be honored and amused, both at the same time...! His eye sparkles, not sure if he should sound more proud or humble. ]

The King doesn't mind sharing, if the other king is also kind. [ If only it wasn't this guy pulling the strings... ]

[capyper]

I wouldn't mind having some of these others guys as a co-king either... Tarrlok's a politician, I guess that's pretty leader-like as well! And Sigrun would be a really wild king, but I bet it'd be kind of fun.

[ ... Extremely questionably fun? But still fun, and that's what really counts. ]
