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

Ugh, I knew you'd say that.

[Mouri grimaces]

No god is going to come to earth to smite anyone.

[ignorantly]

I'd hope so. But revenge is a pretty strong motivator... I'm sure there are people who'd ask Amaterasu for it if they wanted it badly enough.

[sleepingkogoro]

...it may not sound good, but as long as those people limit themselves to just wishing for it then there's not really a problem here.

The problem is when they try to take revenge themselves. I have seen many times revenge never ends well.

[Murder is unforgivable no matter what. That's his stance and he won't ever change it]

[ignorantly]

[ Shirazu isn't surprised; Mouri's a detective, after all. He must've had dozens of cases where somebody was killed in an act of revenge. ]

I think revenge is a common reason people decide become ghoul investigators. Kids whose families were killed by ghouls are often taken in by the CCG - Commission of Counter Ghoul - and become ghoul investigators.

[sleepingkogoro]

...you haven't told me what is a ghoul. What is that?

[Believe it or not, Mouri learned his lesson about taking stuff for face value with Sigrun, her whole 'likes killing' and her real situation. Better to listen to an explanation before passing judgment on this]

cw: tokyo ghoul, mentions of cannibalism

[ignorantly]

...A species that look like humans, but they're actually dangerous predators that eat human flesh.

[Dear goodness. Add that world as one Mouri definitely doesn't want to be in, ever.

Mouri massages his temples, trying his best to stay calm]

I should have supposed that. I knew it wouldn't be good but I never thought it would be so...horrible.

When you put it like that revenge against ghouls doesn't sound so bad.

[They are dangerous predators, not people. From the sounds of it, there's even an organization created to deal with them. It can't be any good to have them around. As much as Mouri hates to admit it this seems to be the one time revenge sounds like a sensible decision]

[ignorantly]

It's shitty as hell. Lots of people are killed and eaten every day. A ghoul investigator's job is to find and kill those... things.

[ There's a small pause before the last word, as though he isn't entirely sure what to call them. Last week he wouldn't have hesitated, but that was before he remembered plunging his weapon through a ghoul whose dying words sounded... human? ]

...It's a very dangerous job; that's why I didn't want to talk about it immediately after a murder investigation and trial.

[sleepingkogoro]

I see that. No surprise you didn't want to.

[He definitely can't blame him for not wanting to talk about it]

How can you manage to have a job like that? Sometimes I think mine is hard enough but yours sounds even worse.
