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!]

I've, like, got a question: if you were being controlled by something else and the person controlling you knew, like, fancy alchemy , right? Then could, like, they control you into do the fancy alchemy shit they knew? Or is it, like, an inherent thing or whatever you need to, like, be born with?

[explosivecombat]

...I'm not sure, seeing as I've never actually seen a case of that in action. Possibly...?

[Of all things to have never asked Pride.]

[Tabby is quiet for a moment and then she sighs.]

You know how it says Laney doesn't like murder? I think . . . that's true. I think Jermaine McNoface is using her as, like, a . . . condomin? The electricity thing. [Conduit. She's looking for the word conduit.] Basically she's, like, a puppet and that's why she's always so . . . nice or whatever? After they die.

[explosivecombat]

...A conduit, you mean.

[So says the literal conductor.]

How would he be doing that, do you think...? In your experience, anyway.

[zomgboom]

Well, if he's using fancy science magic [She understood approximately none of the alchemy discussion, but it sounds like magic and she heard the word chemistry, which is a science.] then, like, you can create a puppet with magic. Or, like.

[She pauses for a second, because she really, really doesn't want this to be true but she feels like it should be brought up.]

You can, like, create? A person-thing with magic and it's, like, subject to your whims or whatever. She's, like, smarter than most of the ones I've known but also they're usually, like, broccoli or whatever? Maybe if you make them out of smarter stuff then they're, like, more people-y.

[She's actually describing something more like a golem, but you know. They an awful lot like Homunculi too.]

[explosivecombat]

[Hm.]

One certainly can use alchemy to create some sort of doll-like thing, similar to what you're describing, but I actually don't think that's the case here, at least as far as alchemy is concerned. If it is, I'm concerned with the amount of free will she seems to have, because that means we're dealing with something highly unfortunate.

[Like, if it's alchemy then she should either be a corpse or a, uh. mess. Either that or she's a fucking homunculus at which point hooooo boy we're fucked.]

I don't know if we have any way to say for certain right now, but hopefully she's not any of the things we're positing she might be, between us.

[zomgboom]

It'd be, like . . . easier? If Jerry had a power that lets you mess with people's brains or whatever, but if you have a power you usually can't do magic because it's, like. I dunno, mutants just can't for whatever reason.

[The reason is Scarlet Witch exists and nobody wants to deal with more than one of those, actually, but.]

But, like, I think the profiles don't list what we are for a reason? We don't have any way of, like, knowing Geranium is a human or whatever.

[hesperos]

[ You know, Yuri's been mostly keeping to himself here and all, but... ]

...So I dunno about the guy being human or not but it does seem to me that Jericho's probably using an arte or something else to help keep her in line. Maybe his influence too.

And I guess she seemed pretty human to me, but hell if I could tell otherwise at this point.

[ Though he hasn't exactly gotten the impression she was created from scratch or in a way that would be "inhuman". ]
