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

games room!

[blazeit]

[ So these two nerds should talk at some point... maybe... and now seems like a great time what with everybody mildly traumatized and all. ]

... Is that what's in this room, a bunch of games?

[ This is a much more disappointing addition than last week's, but he also hasn't looked around the games room yet, so. ]

[swirlied]

[ He's a little surprised to see Bakugou in here, and a little worried too as he remembers his title—Volatile. Maybe he should tread carefully... ]

Yeah. So far I've mostly found some board games, and I saw a lot of card decks in that cabinet. [ He gestures to one a few feet away. ] It also had some rulebooks for roleplaying games or something.

[blazeit]

What's a roleplaying game? It sounds like some kinda nerd thing.

[ ... Despite his mildly derisive phrasing, he at least doesn't sound against the idea of roleplaying games. ]

[swirlied]

I have no idea, to be honest.

[ He walks over to the cabinet with the RPGS and pulls one of them out. ] I guess we could look at it and find out?

[blazeit]

[ Well, why not? It's not like he has anything better to do. ]

So, what do the instructions say?

[swirlied]

[ He opens the box, pulling out the instructions and glancing over them. ]

It says... Something about a dungeon master? And creating your own character.

[blazeit]

A dungeon master? Why would somebody want to master a dungeon? [ Well, at least this sounds goal oriented, he might be able to get kinda into it. ] Okay, so how do you make a character.

[swirlied]

No idea...

[ He flips to the table of contents, looking for the character creation instructions. ] It says we have to choose a class...? I don't really know what any of this means, to be honest.

[blazeit]

Classes — lemme see that. [ So he says, before just kinda yanking the instructions out of Yuuri's hands because he's rude. He flips through for a few moments. ]

So basically, we have to choose how we want to beat the shit outta monsters? I'll be a Fighter, then, the rest of them sound kinda lame.

[swirlied]

[ He's taken aback a little by it, but honestly Yuuri is used to that sort of treatment (see: Wolfram) so he shrugs it off. ]

Really? [ He walks over to Bakugou's side so he can see the book. ] I kind of like Paladin... [ Because of course he would. ] Sorcerer sounds cool too.

[blazeit]

Really? But it's cool to be able to fight even without weapo — wait.

[ He's made a grave mistake. But he can correct it before he's gone too far with his error. ]

Monk is best class, I'll fucking fight you in character to prove it.

[ god he's so bad at this game and he hasn't even started yet ]

[swirlied]

We haven't even finished setting everything up!

[ He's beginning to regret choosing this game... ] Is that even how this game works? How are we supposed to fight anyway?

[blazeit]

Something about dice and... man, this is a shit load of work to conquer a dungeon. Can't we just skip out the dice part and take turns talking about how our game characters kicked ass or something.

[ So basically, he doesn't want to do tabletop RP.

... He wants to do DWRP. ]

[swirlied]

[ He just... Kind of stares at Bakugou for a second. ]

That's basically writing a story isn't it... [ He does have a point though. That's a lot of work for one game. ]

Maybe we could find something else?

[blazeit]

No way, I already had to read all these rules! [ He read like maybe half the rules at best. ] We're gonna fucking conquer a dungeon. Okay, first think up something really villainous for us to beat the shit outta.

[swirlied]

[ He puts his hands up. ]

Alright, I'll try to come up with someone. [ What sort of things show up in dungeons? ]

What about a dragon? Those can be in dungeons right?

[blazeit]

Oh yeah, dragons are good, those are supposed to be hard to kill or something. And don't they hoard treasure or something? We can go conquer the dragon's dungeon and then get rich as hell afterward.

[ He knows this game isn't reality.

... Probably. ]

[swirlied]

Definitely. There's gotta be a lot of stuff we can buy in the game too.

[ All games have weapon shops this one has to have one too, right? ]

[blazeit]

Hell yes, if you're gonna be a Paladin then you're going to need a cool sword. Like a sword that can cut through anything, or something like that.

[ It's a good thing it's a fictional sword, or else getting a scabbard for it would be... difficult... ]

[swirlied]

What about a sword that uses souls for power? I'll call it Morgif.

[ Totally not a sword he actually owns or anything... ]

[blazeit]

... That was way more metal than I was expecting from you.

[ He seems impressed but there's also an equal part of "man. That's kind of creepy" in his expression because this could slide right into my weapon is powered by DEATH. ]

Are souls an exhaustible resource here?

[swirlied]

[ Yuuri gives him a confused look. Metal? Is that a compliment? ]

Well, this is fantasy so souls can be inexhaustible or something! Morgif can just borrow them for a while. [ Mostly because he'd feel bad killing fictional people. ]

Besides, I never really used the actual sword like that anyway.

[blazeit]

Wait a sec, so. In real life. In actual reality, you use a sword powered by souls?

[ Bakugou keeps thinking nothing is going to weird him out again. He keeps being proved wrong. And he's actually really okay with that. ]

[swirlied]

Yeah... Well, I used it once actually. I got rid of the soul stealing part, so now it's just a regular sword with a weird face on it.

[blazeit]

[ There is a fairly length pause. ]

You know, the whole time I thought you were some kinda weirdo chuunibyou because of your profile saying you were a demon king and all. [ This, coming from a guy with some serious dreams/delusions of grandeur and is technically probably the most chuuni person in the whole school. ] But you sound like. A legit demon king.

[ ......... ]

What the actual fuck. You'd think Satan and Lucifer woulda noticed their undersized demon kin missing by now.

[ He's not serious.

Probably.

... Mostly... ]
