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

[cherryblooded]

Not me either. It'd end badly, I'm sure.

[Despite whatever Sigrun thinks.]

[goodforsomething]

[Stan shrugs.] I think you'd do okay, but I ain't gonna argue with ya. Point bein', he's a lot more together than a lot of us. Even with all his issues.

[cherryblooded]

Exactly. He's not expendable. Even though he seems to think so.

[...Ugh. He didn't mean to get paint there, and he frowns at his easel.]

[goodforsomething]

Well, good luck gettin' him to believe it.

[Stan tilts his head thoughtfully at his own painting.]

Seems like most of us have some real shit here.

[cherryblooded]

Maybe that's why we were chosen.

[It's as good a reason as any. What else do they have in common?]

[goodforsomething]

Every time I ask, he just says somethin' about us being interesting. It's really irritating!

[cherryblooded]

Well, of course, he can't give us anything that would be useful information.

[goodforsomething]

It ain't that useful. Knowin' why he grabbed us doesn't really make us any less stuck.

I just wanna know what he was thinkin'...

[cherryblooded]

Seems like there would have been better choices.

[Cherryblod's not eager to be destroyed along with the rest of his world, but - there had to have been others more deserving of a chance.]

[goodforsomething]

Ya don't save an old bastard like me if you're really tryin' to help the world or whatever. I'll probably be dead in another ten years anyway!

[Given modern medicine and all he's probably lowballing that, but he's making a rhetorical point]

Nah, he's got somethin' else goin' on.

[cherryblooded]

He probably thought you'd be more likely to kill someone than somebody else he could have saved. At least, I assume that's why he picked me.

[That's... close to an admission of his secret, but not quite.]

[goodforsomething]

[Nah, it's...it's a pretty reasonable theory.]

Probably. But I know guys back home who'dve offed someone the first week.

...'course, he brought Megumi too. [The one person Stan legit can't see murdering anybody ever.]

[cherryblooded]

Everybody needs at least one defenseless victim.

[He's still so mad about that.]
