Week 4.

[trustharder]

WEEK 4 And as the third week in the Vault comes to a close and the fourth week begins, the Survivors are once again down by two. Mion Sonozaki died on her own terms, and Yato died fulfilling his duty as God of Fortune in the best way that he knew how; the shrine built in the game room on Saturday stands in their memory. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. But that doesn't mean the night was uneventful - it seems something else may have brought you some newfound clarity. Or perhaps not... Once again, that spiral staircase leads farther than you remember, clear up to a previously inaccessible fourth floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; even if the Kingmaker sounded a bit unhappy with you last weekend, the fact remains that you're still doing what you seem to have been brought here to do.

[turn into... a vehicle.......]

Like... an automobile kind of vehicle? Tank or truck or whatever?

[prismbloom]

It's more of a glider, actually--you'd be surprised at how fast it can get.

[captainobnoxious]

[Like a bird??? All Sigrun is hearing is that she can glide like a bird and that

is the coolest thing.]

I'm sure I would! Could you fly really high? I mean, if that's how that worked, it sounds like a bird.

[prismbloom]

I could, actually. It's how I travel from one world to the other--it can travel incredible distances, too.

[captainobnoxious]

How does your world travel thing work? I mean, they're not just like... over the ocean from each other, are they?

[... because that what is sounds like, yes, if you can glide using a magical key]

[prismbloom]

No--not just over the ocean. They're more closed off than that, and are accessed only via pathways called the Lanes Between. Usually, it's forbidden to move through them, but my master opened them for us.

[captainobnoxious]

I'm going to suspend my disbelief for a while since you've already told me you basically trained with a giant key that can turn into wings.

Are those pathways dangerous? Is that why they're forbidden?

[prismbloom]

It's not wings, exactly.

[ She pulls out that notebook she has handy and sketches a quick picture of the glider]

The top part there is what I use as a sort of makeshift bow--I can rotate it so it's vertical instead of horizontal.

Very dangerous, yes. Without our armor, we run the risk of being corrupted by the darkness--and enemies use them to travel as well.

[captainobnoxious]

[That is

something else. How do you even glide with that there's no material to catch the wind.]

I won't pretend to understand how you fly with that. It looks complicated and nothing I'm going to believe anyway. [isn't her honesty just the most welcome]

What sort of enemies do you have? I mean, darkness is bad where I'm from too, trolls roam the night easily and that's when they're most active too. Anyplace the light touches is where they can't go, during the day.

[prismbloom]

[ magic, basically, but she has the idea that Sigrun wouldn't be satisfied by that answer. ]

My master calls them Unversed--they're emotions which have taken physical form, and they can be very dangerous. They feed off of negativity, which makes them stronger and more formidable. Even the small ones can be dangerous, and they all have different abilities, such as magic.

[captainobnoxious]

That is a hell of an enemy you're fighting. So you're at like constant war with them? Because you can't exactly make the whole world smiles and rainbows.

[prismbloom]

[ ...

Her face sort of hardens at that. ]

Something like that--there is a source of it all, but even I'm not sure what came of him.

[captainobnoxious]

[Ooooh.

Ooooh that sounds like some personal beef.]

Then you have to get back to get rid of it, one way or another. How do you do it?

[prismbloom]

[ you have no idea, truly ]

Exactly. I'm not sure how, but I did fight the one responsible. After that... I'm not sure what happened after that. I hope that was enough--that his defeat solved the issue, but I can't be certain until I return.

[captainobnoxious]

So it's really up in the air for now, huh... That's a hard place to be.

[...]

And you're still trying your best to take care of everyone with that on your shoulders. You're really something else, Aqua.

[prismbloom]

It's not as difficult, when I think about what and who I have to protect.

[ ... She's blushing a little bit at that. ]

Is it really that impressive? I've never thought of it like that.

[captainobnoxious]

It is! I'm really proud of you after hearing that! Have your friends faced this foe before too?

[prismbloom]

[ do you know how many people actually tell her they're proud of her ]

It's only my duty. It's... [ gOSH ] They have, unfortunately. He's pretty determined.

[captainobnoxious]

[Awwww she got flustered Aqua is adorable and quickly falling under Sigrun's soft spot where Misa is.]

Well, that sucks. Is he a key person like you?

[prismbloom]

[ is she gonna mom the mom tho ]

He is, actually. And very formidable.

[captainobnoxious]

[she will absolutely mom the mom]

And I thought all you guys were good. So you have problem people like that too?

[prismbloom]

Most of us are; at least, those from my time--which is why it was such a shock to see an enemy with one.
