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?

[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!]

[Thankfully, there don't seem to be any further incidents this morning; after the events of yesterday, perhaps that's a small mercy of some sort. Everything is about as calm as it can be around here, which is likely not saying much, but at the very least it is saying something.

However, the relative peace of it is broken at about noon, when Jericho can be heard over that public-address system again; he seems decidedly more energetic than he did yesterday, which is...likely not a good thing, come to think of it.]

Hey, so if you all would do me a favor and go meet in the foyer in about ten minutes that'd be great - we've got something to talk to you guys about. Nobody's in trouble, no exploding spines this time, I promise.

[So there's. That.

It doesn't really matter, in the end, whether you go in there or not; it seems that it's more or less a formality - after ten minutes or so Jericho can be heard again over the system, so you're all going to hear this whether you like it or not.]

So, you guys seem to like stabbing things. And that's great! That is definitely a step in the right direction. But since we'd really prefer it if people stopped aiming the pointy things at Alena - and I'm pretty sure that after yesterday, you guys would appreciate that too! God, no one wants a repeat of yesterday - we thought we'd give you a little help getting set in the right direction.

You guys all came from a wide variety of places, right? I'm pretty sure you've all noticed that by now. And some of them are pretty great. But some of them...not so much. If you win the exercise, we'll put you back right where we found you, no harm done except the trauma, I guess. That's been how it's going to work up until now.

But if someone sees Rule Seven through, we'll let you choose where you end up.

Which doesn't sound like too much of a difference - leaving is leaving, right? But if you could choose to go anywhere, where would it be?

Would you want to go straight home? Or would you want to be sent to wherever your captured friends are so you can free them? Would you want to end up in your worst enemy's room while they're sleeping, just to ensure you get the kill you've been trying to get? Would you want to get away from the situation that's been keeping you tied down in ways that you can't escape on your own?

Would you want to go wherever you would be happiest, even if you just have a vague idea of where that might be?

Your worlds are pretty big places. The universe, even moreso. And we can find pretty much anything you guys want us to. After all, we had the means to find you, right?

Act on Rule Seven, or don't. It won't matter to us either way.

But hey, who knows. Maybe it can end up mattering to you guys.

[So.

You ever have those kind of dreams where you distinctly wish everything wasn't real? Because uh. Waking up after dreaming about a teddy bear tell you that you're trapped in another one of these things isn't exactly Sayaka's idea of a good time and she's...not doing well. Like, really not well--she still can't get the image of the blood in the pit out of her mind, and alongside that, it's...

...That smile that Sayaka wears today is somehow even more strained.

Her first stop is to the vending machine for a couple rounds in the machine. A lot of this stuff is...odd? It's very odd. But Sayaka seems bright as hell when she finds her barrettes among them, instantly putting them in her hair with a smile. The rest of this stuff is...well. She's kind of unsure, but she'll have that blue pendant on, and she'll be keeping that makeup bag nice and close. And the tea.

...but no, seriously, uh. She's not sure what to do with this, but feel free to call dibs if you see something you want, feel free to nab it.

Her next stop is, weirdly enough, the Infirmary--she's pretty much just here to check this entire room out and see what's inside. They could've used this last week, admittedly, but it's good to familiarize one's self with their surroundings, right? And maybe it'll help people to know what's inside. That's Sayaka's thought process, anyway, and if she sees someone come inside, she'll wave to them.]

Kind of odd that this would open up after yesterday, don't you think?

[...of course, the very second she can get away with it--she makes sure no one is around, and she nabs one of those bloodbags and puts it in her sleeve. She's got a trip to make, and hopefully Elda can forgive her for the knocking on Room 25--it's important, and she'd rather not be seen.

And...she'll be in her usual haunt, come the evening. The ballroom is still a nice place to practice singing, after all, and she won't let what happened in here deter her. It's more of a general exercise, rather than an actual song being sung, but...well, she's happy. That's what matters.]

Edited (...actually nah, probably don't need the investigation) 2017-09-17 16:27 (UTC)

[ Elda is up by this point, but only barely. She's actually been out of the shower for a while and brushing her hair on the bed... but that also means her huge mass of hair is a little bit damp (she's letting it dry) and she isn't dressed when Sakura knocks. She hurriedly wraps a towel back around herself to get to the door and open it just a smidge- ]

What?

[Here Estelle thought she had recovered a bit after the trial, but after she had a weird dream, she feels unsure of herself again. It takes a lot to get out of bed, but she does as makes herself a small breakfast along with some tea in the kitchen. She seems rather preoccupied, but luckily, she doesn’t burn anything before she returns to her room and eats it. Weird for the girl who was oddly social last week.

Though she does get out again and goes to the vending machine and while most of the items are unfamiliar to her, she sees her mother’s memento come out of the vending machine and just holds it to her chest tightly. It’s a comfort to her; it’s also the prize she nearly gave up as a payment to Brave Vesperia.

Though she also does look at the pocket watch and opens it. It looks really important and valuable. Same with the Roomba— though that she’s going to turn on and have it running in the foyer as she just watches it probably for a good hour before she takes her haul back to her room. Either she’s easily amused, easily distracted, or in a huge need of a distraction.

Eventually, she goes to the new floor and the moment she sees the library it’s game over. She has a thought to go back to her room and grab the food she got from the vending machine and parks herself at her new sanctuary. She has a pile of books out to read, but most notably, she seems to be thrilled to see a book called The Tale of the Jade Planet there and is reading it rather fondly.

Please, ask her about her ideal man. She’ll in return tell you about her fictional crush.]

[...SHE WILL LOOK AWAY RESPECTFULLY, BUT--]

Marker-san, new rooms opened up. I found something...I don't want to talk about it out here, though. [Her tone's hurried and rushed, keeping an eye out like hell, but--] Do you...want me to just slide this through the door, or...?

[Fern is decidedly sick after yesterday and even more sick after her... memorable dream. Monsters. Goddamn freakazoids. Can't trust 'em, they'll just hurt you in the end.

She skips breakfast and focuses just on checking out the upper floors for today. The infirmary gets a look, even if its a glare and utter contempt. Still, she spends a bit checking for supplies. Anything could be useful in this place.

The rest of the day, however, is spent in the sewing room. She's gonna make some damn shoes and socks if it kills her. And it probably is, with the numerous failed attempts that start piling up next to her.

She's kind of jumpy today and will be considerably startled if people aren't careful]

["Our wishes, our questions, are different. A question by the one who does not have it shall not be answered by the one who does."
"'The one who does not have it'? Are you saying Kiritsugu had something that you didn't have?"]

[Kirei Kotomine was not in the most pleasant mood when he awoke on Sunday. The perpetual smile he wore had slipped just a bit, but that was easy enough to excuse as a result of the recent bloody disaster. And yet that was the furthest thing from his mind today as he sought out a distraction; cooking in the kitchen once it opened and later on, taking inventory of the supplies in the infirmary when he came across it.]

[Eventually, he took up a spot in a corner of the library, idly paging through a book without really focusing on it. The situation had abruptly become more complicated, and Kirei was even less sure what to make of it than he had been yesterday.]

['What other people called happiness--']

[ New rooms? Something? ...

Elda opens the door wider and makes to pull the other girl inside, despite her state of only being in a towel. If it's a secret, then let's talk about it ]

[Thank...whatever acceptable force out there for you, Elda, she'll scoot on inside with a smile, still keeping her eyes averted out of respect.

Once she closes the door, though, she pulls a blood bag out of her sleeve with a smile.]

We got an infirmary, and they've got these. It's...not much, probably, but there's more in there.

[ Once they're inside with the door closed (locked) well...

... Honestly it looks like other the other rooms with the notable enough difference that the bed looks like a mess. She's not made it, the blankets are a bit strew and - oh. Wait, no, there is one thing: it's dark in here. She's taped (with duct tape) a blanket over the overhead light in the room. It's not quite pitch black, but it's pretty dark and might take Sayaka a moment for her eyes to adjust. Elda was about to head back to the bed to put on her dress or uniform or something, but she accepts the blood bag, blinking.

Oh.

... Oh. ]

... Golly, really? That's sweet of you.

[What a strange room to have in a place like this. Medicine, blood bags... Although once she thinks about it a little longer, it doesn't seem like such a good thing anymore.]

You don't think this is a reward, do you?

[She should probably add something a little less morbid to that, but she just isn't feeling it today.]

["Do you have any intention of returning to your service in the military?"

...

"I can make it happen, if you want it to."

Well, that was a bizarre dream. Archer doesn't usually dream, but he doesn't give it much thought as he gets up and prepares for the day.

As usual, he starts with a sweep of the building, which is where he finds the staircase leading upwards. That's interesting. What's even more interesting are the new rooms and Archer can be found spending some time in each of them. The sewing room doesn't hold his interest for long, but the infirmary does. He'll be examining the pill bottles and checking out the supplies in here, taking inventory of everything because that's just what he does with his life.

After that you can find him in the library for most of the day, where he'll be looking pretty content as he searches through the books. Some of them are familiar (and will be coming with him) but there are several interesting ones he's never seen before. You can catch him paging through many of the mystery novels here.

In the evening, Archer will finally approach the vending machine to test it out, putting in some coins and getting some stuff in return. The blue uniform is definitely the best prize here, but some of the other things get odd looks from him. He's particularly interested in the red stones and the gauntlet, though the roomba's also interesting. What... is it...?? Anyway, he'll take all this stuff back to his room.]

[It's a good thing that Blue makes no secret of her presence when she walks in, in that case; she eagerly peeks in, and-]

Oh, finally! The luxury of more than two outfits!

[Well, she seems happy enough. It doesn't quite seem like her usual level of obnoxious cheer, but then again, she still is rather obnoxious and cheery. And more than that, she's looking through all the fabric eagerly before stopping to take a peek at Fern's project.]

Having a little trouble?

[Well. That certainly is a memory.

It's not one Luca is going to be talking about though, because he doesn't really have the context to understand what is going on in it. Instead, he will go about his usual day, acting as if nothing is wrong whatsoever.

Of course, there is a new floor to explore, so there's that.

Luca can be found in the library in the morning, checking out the books there. He doesn't seem to be finding what he is looking for at first, as he barely scans the books before returning them to the shelves. But eventually he does find a book to keep, and he tucks it under his arm to hold onto it while he continues his searches.

Later on he can be found in the laundry room, though he is just staring blankly at the washing machines trying to figure out what to do with them. He hasn't been hand-washing his clothes in his sink before now, why would you think that?

Lastly, in the evening he can be found in room 7, lounging on his bed as he reads the book he grabbed earlier. But the door is open, so feel free to come say hi!]

Not stocked to your liking, I take it?

[He's nearby, and he saw that glare. What's up Fern, feeling a bit green?]

[Since Luca is in the library doing his own thing that day, odds are that he would come across Kirei at some point. At first he doesn't go bother him, since he figures anybody coming to the library would be looking for a bit of peace and quiet. But after he passes by once while doing his own searches, he gives up and comes back.]

Pardon me, but may I have a moment of your time?

[He's even speaking quietly, like someone should in a library.]

[ Terumi does not look like he belongs in the library (tbh does he look like he belongs anywhere?) but here he is, sauntering like he owns the place. ]

Find anything interesting, Archie?

Hm?

[Pulled out of his own thoughts, it took just a second for Kirei to register who was speaking to him and what was said.]

...Certainly, Luca Valentino. [The book was closed and set aside, Kirei himself recovering quickly and focusing entirely on Luca.] What is it that you require?

[Kimblee is here in "what a weird dream" solidarity, honestly, and he's seeming a little out of sorts today; that said, he's gotten a bunch of coins and as such he's...here...to...]

...Where did you get that?

[Because Estelle has something that is very much a State Alchemist pocketwatch, even if he can't see the inside of it or any particularly identifying personal marks, he's very sure that that's the Amestrian military emblem on the outside, where in the world did that come from?]

I merely wanted to see how you were doing. You, well.

[Crap, how does he explain it?]

Your seem a bit 'out of it' today.
