Week 4.

[trustmods]

WEEK 4 Ashley Williams and Asuka Langley Shikinami have joined the ranks of the deceased. Two more deaths, two more people whose absences will be felt by the group; a bit over one-fifth of the Participants are dead. And this week, it seems everyone is feeling it. They say three times can be considered a routine, and the fourth week of the exercise isn't breaking pattern any. Saturday can be given to rest and sleep; on Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock. There are no more bodies, no more bloodstains; there's nothing else to be found this morning. Unless, of course, you count whatever you found last night, strange dreams or otherwise. Once again, there's a new floor to explore; after everything that trial decided to be yesterday, you deserve the reward. And for the second time, there are rule changes, effective immediately. You might want to take note of them. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 23

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

It's hard, isn't it?

[Elise picks at a piece of burnt toast. ...Elise. Why are you eating toast with a knife and fork.]

Eating. I mean.

[swirlied]

...Yeah, it really is these days.

[ He sounds serious and absolutely tired, that is until he looks up and sees her trying to eat toast with a knife and fork. ]

Um... I don't think that's how you're supposed to eat toast.

[announcemyvictory]

Ah, really? That's how I've always done it. Granted, this is a little tough and it's getting crumbs just everywhere. I think I put it on the wrong setting.

[swirlied]

[ He really doesn't know what to say. ]

...Maybe you could try eating it with your hands? That would be easier.

[announcemyvictory]

Well, it would make a mess, but all these bits of burned crust flying about are already doing that... I suppose I may as well try. [just. carefully picking it up.] Is this how you all do it?

[swirlied]

[ He smiles. ]

Yeah, that's usually how we eat it! [ Is it weird to be proud he's teaching her this? ]

[announcemyvictory]

Ah, really? I suppose I haven't eaten breakfast with people aside from my family enough to know. [read: people who aren't rich as all get out] And usually I have a more extravagant breakfast, but I... er. I'm still having a little trouble in the kitchen. Just a little!

[swirlied]

Really? Do you want some help? I can't really cook that well, but I do know how to make a few things.

[announcemyvictory]

I-if you're offering. Just... please don't go telling everyone about it. I don't want everyone to keep thinking I can't do anything on my own, after all!

[swirlied]

I won't, I promise! I mean, it's not really something I'd brag about anyway...

[announcemyvictory]

In that case... then I suppose that's a good idea. What sorts of things would you normally make for breakfast? One can't be too picky, after all. [except she totally is]

[swirlied]

[ He thinks about that for a moment. ]

Maybe some eggs? Or cereal, if I'm running late...

[announcemyvictory]

Oh, thank goodness it's not fish. So many people have that for breakfast these days. I can't stand the stuff.

[swirlied]

Really? [ He's a little surprised. He doesn't know anyone who hates fish. ]

I eat it a lot, but definitely not for breakfast. That would take too much time.

[announcemyvictory]

So you take care of your own cooking? I wouldn't have expected that.

[swirlied]

Oh, not all the time! My mom usually cooks in the evenings, and sometimes in the mornings. If she can't cook, though, I'll usually make myself something. When I'm in my own kingdom, usually other people take care of the cooking.

[announcemyvictory]

So your family doesn't live in your country? You look a little young to have married into your position.

[swirlied]

[ He jumps a little at that. ]

P-Please don't mention marriage... [ The whole deal with his engagement (or whatever it is, who even knows at this point) is the last thing he wants to worry about right now. ]

My parents are from Japan, but Shin Makoku is on another planet. It's kind of complicated.

[announcemyvictory]

It certainly sounds like it. So your world is like the bartender's, with other planets?

[swirlied]

I think so. It's definitely not a planet I'd heard of before I actually found myself there, though.

[announcemyvictory]

That sounds like a complicated story in itself.

[swirlied]

Tell me about it... I was confused for days.
