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

[A brief pause here. And then, a soft sigh.]

...I suppose so.

[Bruce doesn't want to think about it though. If he's down there as one of the dead ones...

It's not that he fears death - its hard to fear something that has already clearly rejected you once. But what the Kingmaker does after that... that is what he fears more than the possibility of him dying.]

[Stan looks sideways at Bruce for a moment. Right, yeah, people confronting their own mortality.]

...ah, don't sweat it. Odds are I'll die before you anyway.

[amygdalae]

[...and somehow Bruce just gives a really wry smile here, looking like he's laughing at himself for some cruel joke that Stan isn't in on.]

Maybe. It's hard to tell.

[Ha. Hahaha.]

[goodforsomething]

[.....]

You'd better not die first, or I'll be pissed.

[amygdalae]

...I've been told that me dying will be hindering everyone here.

[...so yes, he won't die, if only because that means it won't benefit the rest of them. He'll do his best to stay alive for as long as he's still useful.]

[goodforsomething]

If it helps ya to look at it like that, sure.

hover menuuuuus

[amygdalae]

It does help.

[Just keeping in mind that people are somehow depending on him, for some reason he still can't understand. It's hard to wrap his head around the fact that anybody even wants to depend on him at all.]

[goodforsomething]

Yeeeeah, I know.

[Worked for him, anyway.]

bane of my existence

[amygdalae]

[Its not the best way to cope, but its what he has now - and there's no time to wallow in his own feelings, as much as part of him wants to.]

We'll make it through this. One way or another.
