WEEK 3.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 3 You all got to witness Yosuke Hanamura's death earlier this past week. You know what the punishment for breaking the rules is. With Chitoge Kirisaki and Blue's deaths, you're painfully aware of just how little trust this group really has. How long until someone kills again? What about that time limit the Coordinators imposed? Will there be another incentive? There are so many questions, but not a whole lot of answers. 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... And when you wake up, you'll discover that a pattern seems to be emerging, at least as far as the building itself goes; a new floor is available to you, a stairwell across a short hallway from the one on the second floor having unlocked itself. There's not too much of a question about it as a result - at least, as far as what it means. It's definitely a reward. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 30

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week three 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!]

Investigation

[heritrix]

[The dream she had Sunday night could have almost been called a good one, if not for the way it had ended. Experiencing these memories like a video reel is frustrating, doubly so since she has no say over when the dream calls intermission. Rin spent most of Sunday ignoring the ill ease in her gut with conversation and exploration, frustrated at not knowing what comes next; trying not to dwell on her harsh parting words to Shirou.

At least Archer had seemed back to his normal self. When she couldn't settle her nerves normally, that thought brought Rin some measure of relief throughout the day, and come Monday morning she's feeling settled. On top of that, she no longer feels like she wants to cut off her own arm, so she's leagues better than she was last week, too.

Which means it's time to get on the ball investigating this place. If there's not a way out, there has to be some clue to where they are in this building somewhere. With that in mind, Rin starts her investigation in a place she's become quite comfortable with lately: the sewing room, starting with the fossils antique machines she loves so much before working back to the rest of the room.

After her investigation is done, you might find her hanging out there a little longer, making alterations to the school uniform from her closet. Needs more pockets, man.

Later on in the evening, you can find her in the billiards hall, doing something weird. Namely, she's stolen all of the billiard balls off the table, taped some cue sticks on the floor to make lanes, and stolen some heavy (plastic!) bottles from the bar which are now lined up like pins. This is now how billiards equipment is meant to be used, but screw your rules, Rin is going bowling. Ignore the resounding THUD THUD CRASH that comes every once in a while. It's not a murder, just a strike, because she's winning.]

[What are you doing with the sewing machines? Just looking them over?]

[heritrix]

[Checking how well they work! These old-fashioned sewing machines were built to last, so long as they're maintained well. While she's going about that, she's also looking over the machines in general. Is this a familiar brand? Any copyright markings on it to denote when and where it was made?]

[...what the fuck is that infernal racket.

...

...]

Having fun, Ms. Tohsaka?

[heritrix]

[Hey there, councilman. Writing down her score, Rin glances up towards him and smiles brightly.]

Yes, actually. This is my first time bowling, but it's surprisingly fun even with this setup.

Billiards Hall

[chessturner]

...okay...that's a...creative use of resources, I guess. There's no way this academy has a place for bowling, so I suppose this is the next best thing.

[heritrix]

Honestly, I just wanted something I could go all out with. Would you like to play, Ushiromiya-san?

[bloodbiter]

[And upon hearing those thudding, crashing noises, a girl who has no idea what bowling is comes rushing in. She looks focused and intent, but upon seeing what's happening, her posture relaxes (though she certainly looks puzzled).]

...May I ask what you are doing?

[heritrix]

Bowling. [And she's already anticipating the next question, so:] It's a sport.

[ He has something he needs to mend but first. First.

What is that girl doing sewing more pockets onto shit... Does it really need more? The answer is no, but he's going to come closer and stand behind Rin anyway because 1. Why? 2. He doesn't know how to use the machines anyway so might as well watch someone else use them first. ]

[heritrix]

['Sup, Mikoto, Rin were just chatting about you the other day actually, and how maybe she should make a point of meeting you. This... Was not the way she was expecting that to go!

It's sort of hard not to notice someone looming over your shoulder, so. Her hand is going to pause in cranking the wheel, as Rin glances back. Nope, that guy's definitely still there. Does he want fashion tips?]

Do you need something?

billiards hall

[captainobnoxious]

[OH

OH IS THIS HOW WE PLAY THIS GAME

Sigrun doesn't know how to play it normally, but this? This looks fun. No wonder Alena likes it!]

Having fun?

[heritrix]

[HEYA, SIGRUN. Watch out for the bottles knocked every which way. Bouncing delightedly on the heels of her feet, Rin half-turns when she hears Sigrun come in, and pumps her fist.]

More than I thought I would, actually, for something I put together on the fly!

[firstaid]

[Well, Estelle’s not really feeling better today with her dream being something she’s still been dwelling on. She’s conflicted and confused and it shows as she’s looking at her profile with her finger underlining one of her likes: her powers. She doesn’t get it. It doesn’t make sense.

She hates her powers right now, especially the way her dreams are going. She hates how they make her feel, but there’s not much she can do.

Eventually, she makes her way to the vending machine as she gets a new haul. The overskirt she thinks is cute and she’ll probably end up eating the pastries eventually. Wine’s not quite her thing, but maybe she could indulge in a little sip? She just wants to forget she's here, even for just a moment.

She ends up finding herself in the library where she doesn’t seem to really be getting far reading. The book is on the table, but she hasn’t turned a page even though it appears she’s reading. Words are just glossing over her eyes and she can’t focus whatsoever. Eventually, she closes the book and puts it back on the shelf before leaving and going back to room 6. She keeps talking about being positive, but it’s hard right now as she curls up in the corner of her bed. The door's open so anyone's free to come in.

Because between her dreams and this place she’s just getting one message: she’s probably going to die.]

Vending Machine

[ninehundredlives]

...oh, god, there's more than one of those?

[She's looking at the second Old Goldie.]

Room 6

[bloodisthicker]

[...why is the princess leaving her door open. like he probably would not be so concerned if it wasn't Estelle.

...maybe he'll just. check in and see.]

Excuse me, Princess? Are you... feeling alright?

[THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.]

Room 6

[heritrix]

[Room 6 has a unique setup in this place. Due to being the room positioned directly across from the entrance into the dorm area, it's the one room everyone is guaranteed to see when they return, so the open door is plainly visible. Estelle is too, curled up on her bed there.]

Bad stomachache?

room 6

[icysemblance]

[Weiss is just passing by on the way when she spots Estelle curled up like that. She's just going to knock before walking in.]

Estelle? Are you feeling all right?

library

[bloodbiter]

[The library is one of the places Adelina frequents most often, and when she sees Estelle there, she can't help but notice how unfocused the girl seems. After a few moments, she moves closer to her so she can speak up.]

How are you feeling?

[icysemblance]

[Sunday night's dream had certainly been enlightening. The pieces aren't all there - not completely, not yet - but she feels them starting to click into place. She had spent most of Sunday in the library, trying to see if she could find anything to back up her dreams, but there was nothing she could find.

That doesn't mean she won't be back in there come Monday, doing one more search.

After she's finished, she heads downstairs to the ballroom. She'll be picking notes at the piano for a bit, going through more of the vocal warmups she's used to doing. Eventually, she'll make her way to the stage, and anyone passing by will hear her sing the song she sang in her dream.]

ballroom

[bloodbiter]

[She hears Weiss' voice upon walking past the ballroom doors, and it makes her halt to listen. After the song is finished... Normally, she would give a polite round of applause, but it seems strange to do so with something that sounded so personal. Of course, it seems even stranger not to comment on it, so she makes her presence known and speaks once it's concluded.]

...It sounded lovely.

library

[sleepytimegal]

[ There's someone else here looking for books too. Alex gives Weiss a halfhearted wave. ]

Hey. What're you lookin' for?

[bloodbiter]

[When she emerges from her bedroom this morning, she heads towards the kitchen for a meal. While most days she settles for simple breakfasts such as fruit or toast (once she figured out how to operate the toaster), she wonders if it's time for her to make something a bit more complicated. Of course, while she's been shown how the stove and microwave work, that doesn't change the fact that she has no idea how to prepare a recipe that tastes halfway decent. She's trying not to let it show how unfamiliar with all of this she is, but there's a slight frown on her face as she looks through the different ingredients available to use.

Later on in the day, she heads to the vending machine and receives a few items. Some of the items gain her interest, but two in particular. Anyone nearby when she pulls the dress out of the machine will see her look surprised for a moment, before her expression shifts to something gentle and thoughtful. She straightens it out carefully, and then turns her attention to the stuffed animal, unzipping it to reveal the plush tentacles.

To anyone nearby:]

Would you happen to know what this is?

vending machine

[innocentloveholic]

A friend.

[ ...HI, ADELINA. ]

Like, if it was real I'd say it's totally ugly and awful, buuut it's so cute when it's a plush! So it's a friend.
