Week 5.

[trustharder]

WEEK 5 Three more have joined the deceased this past week. Taichi Yagami was punished for breaking a rule, Megumi Sakura was killed, and Norman Bates... well, the less said about Norman, the better. A third of you are dead now; your losses are becoming more and more evident with each passing week. 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 fifth floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; you'll probably need the distraction after the last trial. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 18 SURVIVORS REMAINING: 17

We don't even have movies or television yet, much less games like this... so maybe one day I'll understand your strange future jargon.

[...was that something resembling a smile? It might have been.]

They're... not that difficult to figure out, though. It's kind of like a carnival game where they explain the rules before you play, except I don't think it's quite as rigged against you.

[notjustawriter]

[Well, it gets Gabriel to smile.]

That's basically the idea. The ones I've seen, they even cost money to play. Bit of a rip-off, really. So it's like a carnival game in that people who own arcades really want your money.

[bloodisthicker]

...that seems like it'd definitely turn a healthy profit, especially if the for-pay versions are actually harder than this one. I imagine it's a lot harder to just turn off your brain then, though.

[notjustawriter]

Oh, yeah.

There's a driving game Mosely and I used to play, and we used to swear it was rigged to make you lose. Probably was.

[bloodisthicker]

...I wonder if the games here would have any more longevity, or if they'd be rigged against you just to be frustrating.

[notjustawriter]

It's possible they're rigged, knowing the Kingmaker.

But they also don't cost any money to play so I don't know. Seems like a waste. I guess the only way to find out is to play 'em all.

[bloodisthicker]

Ah, but he'd probably consider our suffering to be better payment than real money. You'd know these games better than I do, so... well, are you up to the challenge?

[notjustawriter]

I'll never turn down a bit of investigating.

You want to make it a competition?

[bloodisthicker]

...you know, I'm not sure if I should be challenging someone who has investigating as a hobby, but you know what? I think I will.
