trustfell | WEEK 4.

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

Mm! I could bake for me, too...but I'd have to work out a lot more to stay in shape if I did, hehe. Being an idol, I can't just spend all day eatin' cupcakes and muffins.

At least, not every day.

Isn't all that dancing exercise enough? I couldn't keep that up a quarter of the time some of those girls do.

That's right! [She's happy for some reason that Susan is talking about her career...it feels nice.] But I don't have choreography lessons every day. And if I'm doin' TV work, I don't have dancing at all. I was in a TV special earlier this year, and acting work is really different.

Oh, you act too? Do you like doing that?

[She might have some opinions on British pop stars suddenly thinking they're capable actors, but, ah.]

Mm. I think I like it a lot. It's like...there's me, Hibiki. And there's another girl who isn't me, but who I'm playing. I have to reach down inside myself...what do we feel that's the same? How have we both felt pain? How have we both felt love? And I express that in my performance.

[She rubs her neck, a little embarrassed by how silly and unprofessional her answer must sound.]

It sounds like you've thought about it a lot.

[She's actually pretty impressed? Susan is no actress, but that sounds as reasonable an approach as any in her opinion.]

Do you do much of it?

Yeah. I have. It took me a while to get there, but the film was really well-received. I'm thankful to everyone who helped me get there.

[There's more than politeness there. There's a story of people she actually asked for advice and how she trained to overcome her naivety to act in a serious production, but that's best saved for another day.]

Right now, I'm workin' on a television segment where I introduce children in Japan to wild animals in wildlife reserves. It's perfect for me! I also have a weekly segment on a talk show called 'Hibiki Challenge' where the staff sets a goal for me to complete by the end of broadcast and I'm filmed tryin' to complete it. I usually win! I think. So it's not actin', but...bein' on TV is a lot of fun! I'm glad I get to do pieces of everything.

Oh, god. What kind of goals?

[That sounds either hilarious or horrible.]

One time, they dropped me off outside the city and had me race back to the studio! But I got lost. And another time, I had to catch an octopus! I ended up finding a shark, too.

[So, you know??? #JustHibikiThings?]

What, in the ocean?

Where else would you find an octopus?

[She's not being sarcastic, she's genuinely confused.]

They just threw you in the ocean and told you to find an octopus? That’s insane! And dangerous?

Ah! I had staff, diving equipment, and a boat for that segment!

[But now she grins, because it feels nice to be worried about.]

Don't worry! I'm always with a crew for Hibiki Challenge! They take very good care of me and get every shot at the same time.

Did they get the shark?

[...

...to tell Susan she rode the shark and gave it a name, or to lie.]

Mm. The shark was taken care of by an expert.

[Haha. Ha.]

Edited 2017-10-10 23:38 (UTC)

Well, that’s good.

[THE PERFECT LIE]

It sounds fun, though. Like a little variety show.

It is, it's a lot of fun. Idols do a lot of variety shows to promote ourselves or just to entertain. Do they have those in England?

[She can't even imagine what being in England is like. ...She probably can't find England on a map.]

I don't really know what the current trends are. I couldn't really tell you who's popular these days.

Let's see...England, England...

[She's thinking really, really hard.]

Is Harrison Ford English?

I'm pretty sure he's American.

There are a lot of Americans, aren't there?

They're basically everywhere. Not as much here, though...I guess Alex is American.

It's a little funny how many of us recognize the same countries at all, with all our worlds being so different.

Hmm...that's true. Maybe Jericho is, too.

[America is so violent! Hibiki knows this because she watched a cop movie once or something.]

I think it's nice! Even if you haven't been there, I love knowin' that there's an Okinawa and a Japan where you're from, too. That way, if I describe it to someone who knows, it's less like I'm describin' somewhere made up.

Yeah, I like having a common frame of reference. Not having to explain every little thing. It's probably worse for people with all these magic things - at least my world hasn't got much special about it.

Do you really think there's nothin' special about your world? Not even somethin' only you'd understand, or somethin' you think is magical because it makes you feel somethin' in a way only you could?

[Ever the dreamer, this one.]
