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!]

It doesn't feel quite like jelly.

[ She says this while reaching a finger out to poke at the thing...

Which does get touched and wiggles a little for it, but then squirms back and sticks its tongue out at her. ]

[heritrix]

[A tongue is unexpected too?? Despite the deadline hanging over their heads, Rin finds her curiosity getting the best of her and pokes the Ditto as well.]

If I'm remembering correctly, she saids its name was Ditty. There were so many pink ones, it's hard to keep track.

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[ Poke, poke-- wait.

... Uhhh? Her nail doesn't poke in this time as Ditty's "skin" seems to take on a mildly harder texture? ]

[heritrix]

[Oh, she notices that too.]

Is it flexing its abs?

[Does it? Have abs to flex??]

[matchbreaker]

Maybe?

[ Poke, poke. It's still pretty much the same substance, she's pretty sure! Just... more firm?

... Actually, it's looking a little cross at being poked so much now??? Also that we're all talking over it??? ]

[heritrix]

[Rin's not eager to see if it has teeth like a dog, so she stops poking it for the time being.]

Where did you find it, anyways?

[matchbreaker]

Her instincts were on the money - the thing was in the vending machine in a ball.

[ ... Okay so like you guys are obviously talking about blue?? where is blue. In fact, Ditty is goign to try to crawl up Elda's arm top get more at face level to confrotn them about this. ]

[heritrix]

[Hey, Rin ain't hip with the times. Pokemon are just exotic pets, right? So Ditty is just being sociable there. For not having arms or legs, it's surprisingly dexterous.]

I expected to find them locked in an office somewhere... In some ways, the vending machine is both more and less convenient.

[If the others are in there, they're in a more easily reachable place, but getting them out will be tricky, with no way to rig the machine.

And once they get them out, then what? Before, Rin had told Alex they might as well return Blue's pokemon to her parents, but now... She frowns, regarding the Ditto somewhat sadly.]

[matchbreaker]

How far are you going to be crawling, yeesh!

[ Elda is reaching around to try and ... well, try to pluck the ditto out and into her hands - but it worms out of the way of her grip, getting up into her hair and then over it to the top of her head to look... at rin. Wow, Elda's short.

But more importantly, it has a determined!! face.

So where's blue? ]

[heritrix]

[Rin's just going to roll her eyes and reach out to pluck Ditty from off the top of Elda's head. Come on buddy, don't mess up her hair.

...and that is a weirdly determined lineface. Rin's features soften, looking down on it. She's never had a pet, but she remembers visiting the houses of classmates, ones who owned dogs. They would always look so excited when her friends came home, or saddened when it was time to leave. If Blue cared for them deeply enough to ask someone look after them, it was probably a relationship like that, right?]

...Sorry. We're not the faces you expected to see, huh? You're probably feeling anxious.

[matchbreaker]

You better not have left slime in my hair!

[ . . . But he didn't. Actually, he's not slimey? Which is odd, given his texture, but Ditty doesn't seem to leave any snail trail or anything. Elda's fiddling with her hair. But...

Ditty is pissed off more than that??? it keeps being poked and then Blue isn't here where is Blue what's even going on??? ]

[heritrix]

You probably can't understand me, but I'll apologize anyways. Blue... [Blue killed somebody and got murdered in a pit. Hm. Probably tone that down for the pokey-man.] There was an unexpected accident. She's not going to be around anymore.

[matchbreaker]

[ Actually, there is obvious recognition on the ditto's dull face. An accident, and she won't be around anymore?! What does that mean? The thing seems to go more rigid in Rin's hand. It can't transform fully here, but it can turn into shapes, and it's trying to make itself more dense to weigh itself down to get free. ]

[heritrix]

[Oh, it did understand? Rin has a second to be surprised by that before she can feel it growing heavier in her hands. Surprisingly strong herself, she's able to keep a grip on it and heft it back up to her chest level.]

Hey, don't go running off! She asked us to take care of you.

[matchbreaker]

Well, asked you...

[ Elda mutters this, but...

... Wait, she- why would she have asked that? The ditto's little eyes seem to widen as more recognition comes to it, and it wiggles a little more fiercely in Rin's hands. ]

[heritrix]

[Probably moreso Alex, technically, but still.

Anyways, Rin tries to keep her grip on Ditty, but it's probably kind of slippery? So it might get away even as she's cautioning it.]

Where do you think you're even going, huh? You have no idea where to look.

[matchbreaker]

She's right, you know.

[ Um excuse??? I am an action ditto?! Of course I can work it out.

... wherever this is. ]

[heritrix]

[This is to Elda now, with a sigh:]

Maybe we should show it her room.

[matchbreaker]

We'd need to track down the teal haired one, she locked the door behind her.

[ Elda why do you know that. ]

[heritrix]

You went with her?

[matchbreaker]

I had something to pick up.

[ blue whispered something to her at the end if you remember that. ]

[heritrix]

[She does, actually, though she checks on Ditty first before asking.]

Does it have to do with what she whispered to you?

[matchbreaker]

Yes, just that.

[ Okay like why are you all doing a secret?

... He's going to crawl up Rin's arm. ]

[heritrix]

What was so important?

[Well, that's better than trying to get on the ground. Though if he's doing the cat thing and trying to climb on her head to jump off, she's going to try to pull him back down.]

Ugh, nevermind. Either tell me or don't, but let's just go back to the dorms. We can try to find Alex along the way.

[matchbreaker]

[ I mean he's sticky goo, he was actually intending to crawl around her stomach and then leap down off that. ]

Oh, nothing much. A lady can keep a secret or three.

[ But fine, fine. to the dorms? she'll pick up the Pokeball from where she had set it. That's all she really had out. ]
