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!]

[hesperos]

[ Well, that was...certainly a dream of sorts. When Yuri wakes up from it, he sits up in bed and places a hand on his face. Of course, he's super awake so lounging in bed isn't an option. Or it wouldn't be if he weren't who he was.

So, he decides that today is a day where he'll just laze around in bed for a few hours because the dream has him in a bad mood and he doesn't want any of that to show.

Once Yuri manages to make it out of bed, he'll head down into the kitchen to make himself a late breakfast because it is that type of day, and he does whatever the hell he pleases.

After that, he's going to be easily found meandering the halls, for a short amount of time. During the late afternoon, however, one of his stops is going to be over at the game room, checking out the deck of cards for poker. If someone stops in and he notices he'll just nod. ]

Hey, you in the mood for some games too?

[ Because what is the point of a game room if you don't play games in it? ]

halls

[firstaid]

[Estelle's been out of it in sorts all day and has found herself just around people in general. She feels like all she wants is to be alone, but right now, being alone also sounds terrifying. She just doesn't want to think. She wants to escape to another world, and she would have her nose in a book if she wasn't so distracted otherwise. It's what makes this all worse.

Eventually, she sees Yuri in the hall of the third floor and just forces a smile. It's better that way even if she knows it's useless to try this on Yuri, to try to hide the fact that she's disconcerted and uneasy. Still, she tries.]

Are you investigating what's on this floor, too?

[It's not a complete lie from her. It's partially what she's doing.]

[hesperos]

[ They've been lingering in this damn place for three weeks now, but for some reason he felt himself just a little surprised to see Estelle in the halls. He blames the dream, which has left him still feeling rather out of sorts.

Anyway, there's still a question he needs to answer here. Right, why was he wandering the halls again? It wasn't exactly for investigation--he doesn't feel like doing much of that right now. ]

Just taking a walk. Maybe I was hoping it'd help wake me up some more.

[ It's a little funny that he's still able to tell Estelle isn't feeling peachy either, even with being a bit distracted. ]

I don't mind scoping out stuff with you, though. You know what they say about teamwork and all.

[firstaid]

[Estelle's been told she's lucky multiple times by multiple people that she has someone she can trust here. After all that's happened, she's grateful for it, too. That without a shadow of a doubt, even if things aren't going great, she can still trust Yuri and his decisions even now as they're being tested.

She's looking at Yuri and his expression to see if there's anything she can gather herself before canting her head a bit, her smile widening.]

Perhaps we should since we could potentially find something. [There's a beat and then a motion as if she remembered something.] I still haven't told you what I found in the library, have I?

[hesperos]

[ Well, on one hand, it could prove to be a good distraction of some sort. But on another hand, you better believe that Yuri will be also trying to see what he could do to either raise their spirits some or find out what's bothering Estelle (preferably both). Luckily, he doesn't think it would take much, really. ]

Then, it's a deal. We look around in a bit and see what we can find together.

[ Though, before that... ]

What'd you end up finding in the library?

[firstaid]

[It probably wouldn't take much, but she's determined not to burden Yuri with her worries. While she knows he would gladly support her, she also wants him to take care of himself (hypocrisy at its finest). So it's better to talk about the library, she thinks. There's potential hope, after all.

So she starts up as if she's going to tell a dramatic story-- which naturally she dramatizes a bit.]

I was searching through the library for a clue because I was told I couldn't just tell people to find an escape, I should also help, so that's what I was doing...! [Thanks Kimblee.] Anyway, I took some books off the shelf and found a button! It didn't do anything, but it's got to connect to something! We just probably need to find the mechanism that controls it or another button.

[She nods a bit, proud of her find.]

[hesperos]

[ ... Alright, well, Yuri is admittedly expecting something because he's the type who actually does believe in his friends. Though, he's not sure what it is and--that sounds like it could be a big deal, actually. A button might be a thing that ends up as 'press it and it opens the exit somewhere' or something like that.

Maybe that's a little too easy, though. ]

Not bad, Estelle. Maybe if we're lucky, it could be something that helps us all with getting straight out of this place.

The mechanism might be in a room nearby the library too.

[ He really wouldn't know about that either, but eh. ]

kitchen

[hentopan]

[ They have a fight they should be having, Terumi hasn't forgotten that. But he is also in a mood of sorts, and he's hungry. He blames the mac and cheese he tried last night.

His approach is oddly quieter than usual, at least for now. Is Yuri making eggs, this is important to know. ]

[hesperos]

[ That's right, Yuri's making some delicious hard-boiled eggs, among other delicious breakfast delicacies!

But damn, Terumi is so quiet that Yuri almost doesn't even notice. That's ... concerning. Well, he looks at what he's made. Out of habit he's definitely made too much food for just one person. It's been all done well, despite his state of distraction.

He decides it might not be a bad idea to share. ]

Hey, you in the mood for something to eat?

[hentopan]

In a generous mood, huh?

[ That's about as much of a yes as he's willing to give, though his actions should make it clear. He wastes no time in grabbing a plate (a small plate mind), and moves to grab a handful of eggs.

Yes, this is all he wants to eat. ]

[hesperos]

Kinda. I'm just used to making food for more than one person, since I traveled and cooked with my friends before I was brought here.

[ Yuri knows the guy likes eggs, because of his profile and all but really? He expected him to grab some bacon, among other things, too. ]

You're not going to have anything with your eggs, huh?

[hentopan]

Don't usually eat, but had to try that monstrosity last night. [ The mac and cheese, he means. ]

Just need something I'm used to. [ Which is like partially the truth? But his tone lacks much of its usual swagger. ]

[hesperos]

Haven't heard of many people who don't go around not eating.

[ Yuri might've chased someone around with a noodle. Fun times.

In the meanwhile, Terumi's lackluster everything right now is really noticeable. ]

So, a gald for your thoughts? A lot's happened in the past few weeks, after all.

[ On the side, Yuri's still thinking about them setting up that fight of theirs, because he actually still wants that to happen. Though, that's not going to happen before finishing breakfast, among other things. ]

game room

[sadisticwarfare]

Not particularly. I was only checking to see what we have here.

[Hi, Yuri. Archer continues to be a killjoy, as usual.]

[hesperos]

[ Archer you just keep surprising him with new heights of "killjoy". ]

You were, huh?

[ .... ]

When's the last time you even played a game?

[sadisticwarfare]

I don't recall, it's been so long.

[...is he being serious or is he being sarcastic, it's kind of hard to tell with that expression.]

[hesperos]

... Really?

[ Honestly, he really can't tell, with a face like that. Though, Yuri thinks the day the guy easily cracks a joke is the day the world comes to an end.

Or maybe it just felt like that was the case. ]

Well, why don't you play a game of poker with me? You'd probably be pretty good at it.

[sadisticwarfare]

[The quickest way to get Archer to do anything is to flatter him and/or make it sound like it was his idea in the first place, so you know what.]

I suppose. It'll pass the time, at least.

[He's kind of curious to see how good Yuri will be at it, anyway.]

game room

[matchbreaker]

Yes.

[ She herself was coming in to pick up some of those weird shaped dice. The older woman brushes back one of the tails of her hair and tilts her head, studying the man ]

What're you thinking?

[hesperos]

[ Oh hey there. ]

A card game, maybe. Unless you got any better ideas.

[ Yuri's pretty simple like that, but it doesn't mean he's not open to other ideas. ]

[matchbreaker]

Nah, that's fine. People here seem to know different things so I might as well do what we know.

[ Swinging into a seat opposite. ]

Besides, looks like you already have a deck.

[hesperos]

I do. You have a good poker face?

[ Because guess what they're going to be playing today...? ]

[matchbreaker]

Oh, that's never been my game, but I wouldn't say I'm terrible. I've at least got enough experience to be vs old as your grandparents.

[ She miles at this, motioning that it's okay. ]

game room

[explosivecombat]

[Oh, he sees the cards, and he seems reasonably pleased with this turn of events.]

That depends. Are you the gambling sort...?

[hesperos]

[ Yuri isn't something like a gambling champion yet, but he sure has a bit of experience with it. ]

Oh yeah, I am. I didn't expect you'd ask to gamble with me, but I'm sure you'd make it a pretty good challenge.

[ Kimblee seems like another guy who'd have a good poker face. Anyway, he'll begin to start setting up the game. ]
