WEEK 2.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 2 Two people are dead. Jean Kirstein and Caren have both died due to a tragic accident. Of course, you're not entirely innocent, are you? You voted, you played into this game the Coordinators are running. But you know the stakes now. You know what failure to complete Rule Seven really means. No more excuses from here on out. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... Of course, exploring the building from here on will reveal something new: namely, a stairwell in the northeastern corner, leading upwards toward a new floor entirely. Another sign of how things are going to progress around here, maybe; chances are you'll enjoy what you've been given, but was it worth the lives of two people to obtain?

[OOC: Welcome to week two of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Coordinators, you can do so through private meetings with Alena!]

That's true. We have no idea what sort of powers our captors have at their disposal. It could be something they've done or even some unique feature of this place itself.

[innocentloveholic]

Probably not. You act totally stuck up when there's other people around, after all.

[ SHE'S NOTICED HE'S ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE WITH HER, SHE FINDS IT...... SOMETHING. ]

[bloodisthicker]

Precisely, and well... we can't exactly ask them about it, unless we want a bunch of non-answers.

[captainobnoxious]

No captain worth their salt would keep the rest of them around! They'd better be back in training.

[Not that... Luca knows or not, but. She's got a few Words to fucking have with them. Warassa sounds like shit.]

I mean, I'd break their asses for doing something like that, but my world doesn't have a lot of people in it to begin with. Or put them on a boat. Seafaring'll kill any spirit.

[sadisticwarfare]

Of course I do. I wouldn't want them to get a bad impression of me.

[IT'S FINE IF IT'S YOU, I GUESS]

[sadisticwarfare]

I personally don't have the patience to deal with their non-answers. I can't imagine anyone would be willing to deal with that for long.

[innocentloveholic]

Awwww, Ambitious, I'm totally touched that you don't care what I think of you!

[ i mean that has been obvious from day one but whatever!! ]

Does that mean we're friends~?

[ she's joking please don't answer this seriously oh my god ]

[bloodbiter]

...If you would rather be alone, I can certainly do so.

[But.]

If you wish for company, I do not mind staying at all.

[captainobnoxious]

Yes and no? I mean, they are, but I'm talking about infected animals. We call them beasts! They're nasty things, real fun to fight.

[she's killed a bear with her bare hands before, probably.]

[sadisticwarfare]

Oh of course not. You'd have to start calling me by name first.

[It's clearly a joke though, because friends?? Friends??? Who the fuck needs those.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ THIS IS WHY THEY'RE............ NOT-FRIENDS oh my god redd i'm sobbing what are they doing ]

I've never called such an ugly, boring, dumb-dumb name before and I'm totally not starting now! [ this is both tmi and stupid as hell jesus christ ] Ambitious is way better, even if Heartless wasn't bad either...

[ ...... ]

The Coordinator totally wouldn't change your title to that though! I asked her to and she was like, "No." and it was totally a bummer.

[sadisticwarfare]

[I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE OTHER THAN DUMB, TREMENDOUSLY DUMB]

I can't believe you actually asked.

[...]

No, actually, I can. You're terrible.

[HE DOESN'T SOUND BOTHERED AT ALL, THOUGH...]

[innocentloveholic]

[ THIS MANAGES TO BE DUMBER THAN ISAAC AND ALIGULA, DO YOU REALIZE THAT?? THAT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT ]

I've always been told it's one of my charm points~ [ This is probably actually true, given who she tends to date...???? ] You're pretty awful yourself though, you know.

[ THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A BAD THING, THOUGH... ]

[sadisticwarfare]

[THIS IS THE DUMBEST NOT-FRIENDSHIP I'VE EVER SEEN, THAT IS IMPRESSIVE]

I'm very aware. Usually that's something I prefer to keep to myself.

[but this is fine!! he can be Terrible around aligula and not mind it at all!!]

[sleepytimegal]

[ She snorts. ] Enlightening... ...You really think no one's interested in that one?

[sleepytimegal]

Well, I- ...maybe not right now, but...if I can ever return the favor...

[ She wants to do something for someone. That's a strong feeling. ]

[sleepytimegal]

[ She sniffles and wipes her face roughly with one hand. ]

Um. ...If you're sure.

[ dislikes: loneliness

If Adelina's content to wait, maybe Alex will...clear up a few things, honestly. ]

[innocentloveholic]

You're a military guy, right? Are all you guys this bad?

[destage]

...I'll keep it in mind, but...

[Her tone goes...softer, and she's smiling a little more.]

Please continue to be yourself, okay? You're a precious friend of mine. I wouldn't want something to take away that spark from you.

[bloodbiter]

[She hears that answer, but the distance in her expression catches her off guard. There's a pause.]

...I hope I did not offend you. It was not my intention.

[sleepytimegal]

[ Alex, gently pointing at herself, head tilted to the side. ]

Uhhhh sure, what's up?

[bloodbiter]

I'm sure.

[True to her words, there's no hesitation in her voice. She does give pause after that certain statement, though, her voice returning after several moments.]

If you'd like to talk about it, or talk about anything else, I don't mind whatever will help you.

[destage]

...You didn't offend. Why do you think that?

[bloodbiter]

[She shakes her head.]

You just seemed a bit... [A beat.] I'm certain it's my imagination. It's no matter.

[sleepytimegal]

[ Well...

Alex doesn't say anything for awhile. She shifts so she's not on her knees anymore, that's starting to hurt. But... She pulls up a photo. Her, and two other boys. To the one on the right. In a strained voice: ]

That's Jonas. My...step-brother. [ And the first photo, with the boy who resembles her. ] And this was...Michael. I'm sorry I- I lied about him. He... It's hard to talk about him still.
