WEEK 4.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 4 Walter White and Fern Green have joined the deceased. Their losses will be felt, just like all the deaths before them. While you might be tempted to put that mess of a trial out of your heads, it's hard to forget what happened. It's even harder to ignore the secrets that have been revealed, still burned into the wall of the dining room. You all have a lot to discuss, don't you? 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... The past week's trial seemed to be hard on everyone, including your captors, it seems that you're still being rewarded for your work; a new floor has been opened up to you, and along with it the return of the uneasy sense that they approve of what you're doing here: killing each other, picking one another off, singling each other out in the trials. It's likely not a pleasant feeling, knowing you're giving them what they want. But what else is there to be done? PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 28

I presumed she sought the pendant Caren-

[There was, perhaps, the slightest hesitation on her name. But anyone that had heard Kirei talk up until now would more than likely assume he was trying and failing to come up with a surname offhand. That was probably it.]

-spoke of. If that's the case, it follows logically what Alena Larimore retrieved and perhaps even what the pair of them seek to gain from this exercise.

[Glad you're on the same page that this feels like more than entertainment now, Kirei.]

To spell it out precisely, you propose they intend to collect our souls. [It doesn't sound like this shocks her. Honestly, the thought occurred to her too.] But that's just one factor, right? If that was all there was to it, they could quickly take what they want without going to such lengths.

It's not just the goal that's important to them, then, but the means for how they get to it. Conditions that have to be met first, in other words.

[blackmass]

Exactly my conclusion, yes. I feel as if going out of her way to recover the pendant is damning evidence in itself.

I do also think that for some reason the method holds significance; they can't simply rip out our souls and be done with it, if this entire elaborate dance is any indication.

[perpend]

......What could they need souls for?

[blackmass]

Any number of reasons. You might just be surprised at the amount of practical study that goes into the matter.

[zomgboom]

You how, like, you need virgin blood or whatever to do some kinds of magic? Do murder souls have different magic properties and stuff?

[blackmass]

That is slightly out of my personal areas of study, but it is a concept I would not dismiss. It's possible that the soul of a murderer would have qualities another might not.

[zomgboom]

Maybe they, like, need everyone to live in the sin bin so they can summon Mephisto. He probably only wants scummy sin souls and not, like, pure-hearted .

[And also marriages. Clearly he wants people's marriages for whatever reason.]

[hentopan]

They could want to break the souls in first. Improve the quality, or whatever.

[ Terumi's not sure how to feel about that actually, but Caren might have been a different case. Still it's a thought he keeps in mind as he plays with whatever food has been offered here rather than eat it—why did he even bother with this food, he should just toss it. ]
