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!]

I'm not sure it will.

[ . . . Which is why she doesn't disagree ]

It's entirely possible that's just playing the Game a different way, but that sure sounds better to me than blowing up or some other tedious trial. What about you?

[blackmass]

I concur in both regards. Limited though our results may be, it's a better option than tearing each other's throats out.

[sleepytimegal]

Did...they call it that? A "Game?"

[innocentloveholic]

Not at all! That so totally went above and beyond my expectations~!

[ Aligula had a good time with it anyway—nothing against Yosuke as a person, but that was the most exciting thing she's seen here so far. ]

But Aqueous died, you know? She took responsibility! It was pretty brutal for her, wasn't it~? It's not a hard assumption to make that if you break the rules here, you'll take responsibility the same way.

[ With your life, she means. ]

[bloodisthicker]

Yes, that's an excellent idea. Honestly, I could probably stand to have some of those as well, given that my usual means of non-lethally restraining people aren't really available to me right now.

[innocentloveholic]

Dexterous got into a fight with one and all she got were some bloody knuckles, so... [ A little shrug. ] And the wall came out perfectly fine, too.

[matchbreaker]

Oh.

... I don't know, I guess I was putting words in their mouth. Exercise, then?

[ SHRUG. ]

[sleepytimegal]

Well, yeah, punching it's stupid. I meant with some kind of tool.

[sleepytimegal]

[ ... ]

It's fine, just...checking.

[icysemblance]

I can help out with this, also. I agree it's a safe skill to have.

[chessturner]

...oh no.

[Kyrie covers her mouth, realizing what Fern means. So her son is in that hospital...there's no way that is good]

I see. I'm sorry, Fern-san, I didn't mean to bring that up.

[perpend]

[It takes him only a moment to open the door. He's not exactly pleased to see her after she pawed through a dead boy's pockets, but he's capable of being polite.]

I'll seeeee what I can do. What's your question?

[greenmamabear]

I-its fine. You didn't- its not-

I'm alright, really. I didn't mean to worry you.

[bloodbiter]

Your usual means?

[Regardless, though.]

I would be glad to assist you with that if you'd like.

[hey tarrlok do u want a teenage girl to teach you how to throw down]

[bloodbiter]

Thank you. Your assistance would be much appreciated for those who are interested.

[greenmamabear]

Foot stuff. Blue and Kyrie have been helpful, now I'm just trying to see if I can manage it on my own. Then maybe I'll, uh, graduate to something bigger.

[bloodbiter]

[She nods.]

Keeping it to defense is an excellent idea. It should be safer than the alternative.

[greenmamabear]

Can't argue with that. People like the glamour and style over... well, the rest, I guess.

[chessturner]

I think the Coordinators will have something to gain from all the ways possible this exercise can end, even if it doesn't involve people dying.

[So yeah, how to defy them if it's likely the Coordinators will get something good out of anything they can do? Although Kyrie can't think of any other hypothetical options]

[icysemblance]

I'm happy to do it. Anything to keep what happened from repeating itself.

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, but if it sounds like the route you're more likely to survive, doesn't it seem like it should be pursued, at least for a while?

[matchbreaker]

I didn't mean to impugn Jericho's "honor."

[bloodbiter]

[She hesitates for a moment, and for some reason, she seems slightly nervous in that pause before she responds. She has her composure back by the time she speaks.]

...As long as you are certain.

[Dislikes: illness.]

[sleepytimegal]

That's not why I asked, jeez.

[matchbreaker]

Good, then we agree again. We should get investigating, particularly given we have a whole new floor.
