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

...

I'd be a hypocrite if I got on your case for patrolling alone, wouldn't I.

[it always feels so weird, being self-aware...]

[garudynamic]

Yeah, a huge one. But really... it's more I can't sleep.

[And indeed he looks exhausted, but still as jittery and toe tapping as always]

I feel like a rabbit or something.

[...that's not a non sequitur, honest]

[bloodisthicker]

...no, I definitely understand what you're getting at.

[...he could connect the dots there...]

Although... maybe it's more like a herd animal than a rabbit, here. You could die at any time, or anyone you know could die... and there's not really much you can do to stop it.

[garudynamic]

Yeah... like prey. I read this book a while back- it was about rabbits. And they found this other group in a... den?

[Warren, Yosuke. But A for effort]

Anyways, these other rabbits were fat and happy all the time. But it was because a farmer fed them and shot any predators... and once and awhile one of them would just get caught in a snare and taken away. And they didn't even care... because they couldn't stop it, and hey, they got free food and someone only died once and awhile...

I dunno, that's kinda how I feel here. Like every time someone gets taken away we'll start caring less and less. And it's only been twice.

[Yu gave him that book. Said he might like it. Goddamn it]

[bloodisthicker]

...it's called a warren, and I'm certainly really glad I never read any books like that when I was a kid because I would have had nightmares for weeks.

[...LIKE, ON TOP OF THE SHITSHOW HIS CHILDHOOD ALREADY WAS]

It is an accurate analogy for our situation, but... I don't know. Is there a difference between "grim acceptance of a harsh reality" and "not caring?"
