trustfell | WEEK 2.

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?

...Probably? I don't know what kind of library doesn't use one.

[She's not offput by his foul language, so that's something to notice.]

I can help you find a book if you want!

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. You don't need much help when you're grabbin' at random.

I suppose you really don't. Still the offer is there.

[ Waving his hand dismissively. He'll think about it. ]

[He may wave his hand dismissively, but she goes closes her book and trots up to him, getting a bit into his personal space.]

What's your favorite genre of book, Mikoto?

[He's a broody fuck... that means she must befriend him!]

[ Tch. This is why you shouldn't talk to people. ] Don't have one.

[She'll walk around him so she's now on his other side. And just inspects him.]

I suppose that's understandable... [She leans in a bit.]

Are you feeling okay?

[Maybe that's what she should have asked first.]

Why? [ And why is she circling him? Is she some kind of ~~friendship ~~vulture? ]~~~~

[Who knows, she may be one...!]

You just seem like you're a little bit out of it. Then again, I think we all are today.

[She cants her head.]

Did you have a dream, too?

I haven't noticed.

[ As far as he knows, he's always been like this. Not gonna stop her from thinking whatever she wants though. For the dream. ]

Having dreams isn't strange. Is there a reason you're askin' me a stupid question?

A few people I've spoken with had vivid dreams last night. I wondered if we saw the future, but when I discussed it with Mr. Kimblee, he think it was the past he saw. Susan had a dream also where she woke up in a hospital after being in her accident.

[She's not saying anything about her dream, instead discussing other's... which maybe she shouldn't, but whatever.]

Hm. So you wanna know what I think about it, is that it?

[ The tension leaves his shoulders. Ast least it wasn't entirely stupid. ]

I think it would be nice to hear your thoughts on it.

[Maybe get some ideas as to what the dreams are if they're a common thing.]

[ Are you ready to be disappointed, Estelle? ]

I don't have any.

[She's less disappointed and more confused.].

So I take it you didn't have a vivid dream, then?

I did. Just don't have any opinion on it.

[It must not have been that shocking, Estelle thinks, but she keeps it to herself.]

I see then. I was hoping to get more insight as to what the dreams meant.

[ Not terribly. What he saw was something he's been prepared for for a long time now. No regrets, though he wouldn't have minded if things ended differently either. ]

Sorry to disappoint you. [ He doesn't sound sorry in the least. ]

No, it's fine. If you don't have an opinion on it, then you just don't have an opinion on it!

[It's not really that big of a deal? She'll just go harrass others for their opinions!]

Right.

[ He doesn't have more to add to that but, hm. ... eh. He holds out his hand, as if requesting something! ]

[She looks at Mikoto's hand and... she has no idea what he wants. So she pokes the palm of his hand with her index finger...

...some deja vu right here, but she's not sure what to do and he's not using words to request what he wants.]

Knock it off. [ Girl, please. ] Give me a book.

[She thinks for a moment before she hands him a knock off of Pride and Prejudice.]

Maybe you'll enjoy this one. It appears to be a satirical writing on the tradition of courting.

[Because he didn't seem to like speed dating so maybe he'd find this book entertaining?]

Edited 2017-09-20 02:37 (UTC)

[ Putting aside the courting thing sounding stupid. He looks at the book then back at Estelle.

Really? Does he look like the kind of person who would read something this long? ]

Not that one?

[At least she understood the look. Soon she'll be fluent in Mikoto-ism.

She takes the book and puts it back.]

What about this one? It seems to be about two immigrants in a time of an economical crisis working on a farm.

[It's notably shorter. It's also pretty much "Of Mice and Men."]
