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!]

[firstaid]

That's nice you were able to do that.

[There's a hint of jealousy in her voice there.]

To be able to experience those things.

[matchbreaker]

Well, of course! Like anything was going to stop me.

[ She sneers at the chair the thing went under, sounding amused. She's not ignorant - of course there's greater depth there. But she doesn't seem to care that much either.

Yep. ]

[firstaid]

I think that's amazing. You have an indomitable spirit, don't you?

[She smiles, knowing full well she made an attempt on a shitty pun.

Then looking at where their roomba went. It sounds like it's hitting a few of the chair legs before it emerges from the side.]

[matchbreaker]

Oh, you're seriously referencing my title, Noble?

[ Sheesh. She laughs at that, her cheeks coloring just a little as she watches the robot finally make it out. Wow. Well done ]

So you do read a lot, I take it.

[firstaid]

[She giggles a at the first part before she nods.]

Books were all I had growing up, so I read almost whenever I could.

[matchbreaker]

Huh.

[ A finger goes up to her lip, running the nail between her lips and humming. She... ]

You ever hear about a love story between -- well, a human and something else?

[firstaid]

Certainly, I've ready many stories in fantasy about romance between races-- forbidden love, as they say!

[Her hands clap together as she excitedly talks about this.]

[matchbreaker]

Fairy tales, huh?

[ Fantasy between races... ]

Or do you have races abound where you're from?

[firstaid]

[She's silent for a moment.]

There's humans, Entelexeia... and there may be Children of the Full Moon as well. I'm not entirely sure though since it's just something I dreamt about last night.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . What the hell are those second two? She looks away from the robot to glance skeptically at Estelle before she nods ]

Okay, so stuff between them or did you sort of just have made up tales?

[firstaid]

Everything else is fiction. Then again, we didn't think the Entelexeia were real until we met two of them. I also thought the Child of the Full Moon was from a story as well.

[Yeah, it's complicated...]

[matchbreaker]

Okay, so I was right in the first place, more fairy stories than anything.

[ She shakes her head. What was she even asking for, really? She brings a hand up to brush her nail against her own lips. Mmm. ]

[firstaid]

It's weird, though, because I'm a Child of the Full Moon. I didn't think I was anything but human until recently. I still probably am a human.

[Well, since they're talking about races...]

At this point, I don't know the full story, and I'm pretty sure my dream was just a dream, but I can't shake the feeling the Children of the Full Moon were... unwanted.

1/2

[matchbreaker]

[ Wait what. ]

... Lead with that next time, why don't you?! Who cares about your girlfriend or whatever-

[matchbreaker]

[ She wheels around quickly, one hand shooting out to Estelle's shoulder to wheel her a little as well, such that both of them are facing each other. She locks eyes with the others. ]

So you're not human in the first place?

[firstaid]

[She's quickly turned around as she looks to the ground.]

Oh... right... there's the Krityan, too. Judith would be mad if I forgot about her kind. They're very beautiful people with pointy ears and furry antennae that protrude from the back of their heads.

[Does she like talking about this? Not really... So she changes subjects.]

[matchbreaker]

[ At least she's facing her properly? But ... she's reaching a finger out to poke Estelle in her chest. Once, twice. ]

Okay so you've got bug elves or whatever! Big deal, let's focus on your bag! Are we talking aliens or werewolves?

[firstaid]

I'm... not really sure? It's all so confusing.

[She just knows that she's... different.]

[matchbreaker]

How can y'not know?!

[ She might.

Be shaking her a little??? ]

[firstaid]

I... I just don't. All I know is that I'm different from everyone else. I can use magic, my hair is pink, but... I never thought too deeply about that until recently.

[matchbreaker]

[ Okay one, she assumes the pink was normal even though it was weird and now you're telling her it's weird?

... She's going to run her hand through the hair. ]

[firstaid]

[Estelle's hair is soft, like that of someone who's never dyed their hair. If she's looking at her roots, they're definitely pink, so it's apparent the color is very natural.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh, she didn't figure it for dyed. More she's just feeling it, brushing a hand in there and then tugging lightly on her bangs. She nods, seemingly satisfied at this and then poking her cheek ]

The discovery you're not human is a good thing, you know.

[firstaid]

[...that's... interesting to hear.]

How so? Don't people fear what they don't know?

[matchbreaker]

Of course they do! But that means you aren't one of them?

[ And isn't that amazing?! In fact, her eyes are alight. Because humans fucking suck??? ]
