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!]

[Shortly after she wakes up, Adelina finally makes her way to the vending machine. She receives a few interesting items, and she stares there for a few minutes afterwards, inspecting each thing with varying levels of curiosity... And trying to figure out the most efficient way to carry it back to her room.

Afterwards, she can be found in the sewing room. She's looking curiously through the bolts of fabric and kinds of thread, examining each with careful attention and comparing the colors. Later on, she can be found sitting in the library, but she isn't reading; instead, she some of the fabric and thread she selected earlier in her lap. It looks like she's working on some embroidery with a small frown on her face.]

Library

[matchbreaker]

[ Do do do...

... Oh someone's in here. Elda had walked in here thinking she might be alone and so shuffled something that she had in hand back into her skirt pocket and grinning a little. after all, it's that girl she likes okay!

... So. ]

What're you making?

[bloodbiter]

[She glances up as Elda comes in, offering her a small smile.]

I'm not certain exactly what it will end up as. I'm starting with a field of flowers.

[matchbreaker]

Oh, huh! Just for the hell've it or do you think that'll end up a blanket or a pillow or something?

[ Elda settles in next the the girl... but it seems weird to loom there and look down...

Oh! She'll just jump up and balance on the arm rest. That makes more sense. ]

[bloodbiter]

I'm not certain. Typically, when I begin something, it ends as a tapestry. However, it seemed rude to take that much fabric... A blanket might be a fine idea.

[matchbreaker]

Well, everyone else's told me that the kitchen restocks things, do it could be that the fabric's also infinite?

[ . . . Yeah she'll just be perched on this armrest and curling her toes (no shoes, of course, she's not had them this whole time) to keep her balance. ]

[bloodbiter]

That is true... Perhaps if it somehow replenishes itself soon, I'll see about using more of it, then.

[A beat.]

It can't be very comfortable for you to sit like that, can it?

[matchbreaker]

Oh no, I'm good! I can watch what you're doing better like this!

[ . . . and apparently she's got some balance. ... and she's a waif so it doesn't seem to be toppling the chair. ]

[bloodbiter]

If you're certain.

[She looks back at her progress, tilting her head.]

What would you like to talk about, while I work?

[matchbreaker]

[ Mmmm... good question-- oh. actually. ]

... So what even is your world like if you don't know what bats are?

[bloodbiter]

What is it like?

[A small chuckle.]

It's hard to find the words to describe an entire world. I hadn't seen much of it at all until recently. If I had to decide... It's both beautiful and dangerous.

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, that's fair.

[ Beautiful, huh. ]

Okay, sos let's back up, wha's your family like?

[bloodbiter]

[She doesn't mind talking about it, especially with Elda, but...]

It's not the happiest topic at the moment. I would understand if you didn't want to hear about that in particular.

[firstaid]

[Well, Estelle just can't not say hi if Adelina's in the library, so she approaches her, looking at the embroidery that she is working on.]

That's really nice...!

[bloodbiter]

[She gives Estelle a smile as she sees her, disregarding her work for a moment.]

Thank you! I'm not quite finished with it, but I hope the rest will be just as nice.

[firstaid]

I imagine it will turn out rather nice. I wish I had skills for such things.

[There's a hint of jealousy, but truth be told, she doesn't have the dexterity for it.]

Is this something you do in your free time?

[bloodbiter]

If you would like me to show you how to do so, I would love to show you!

[She gives Estelle a nod.]

Yes, since I was young. It's very calming to do so.

[firstaid]

Oh, please do! I would be happy to learn.

[Even if she may not ever become good at it, it still seems like a fun skill to attempt.]

[bloodbiter]

I would be happy to teach you! It's a lovely way to pass the time, especially now that we have a room full of sewing supplies.

[firstaid]

I imagine so. Perhaps the Coordinators were worried about what they say about idle hands.

[She giggles a bit. Of course, no one may share that same sentiment with Estelle. Oh well.]

[bloodbiter]

[A beat.]

I apologize, but I don't believe I recognize the phrase you're speaking of.

[firstaid]

Oh, the full phrase is "Idle hands make the devil's work." It means that if you aren't doing anything, you're more prone to do something that would essentially be bad.

[bloodbiter]

...I would think that our captors would be hoping for such a thing to happen.

[firstaid]

Indeed. It's more reason to stay busy. [Says the last person that looks like she would actually commit a murder.]

[bloodbiter]

I have no doubt that you and I will continue to do so as best we can.

[There are others she isn't as sure about, but if she had to guess, Estelle would certainly be one of the least likely people to act on any of these incentives.]
