WEEK 5.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 5 Tabitha Smith, Sigrun Eide, and Solf J Kimblee are all dead. Regardless of what you think of the trial or the events leading up to it, there's no denying that you can feel the dent in your numbers now. After all, ten people are gone now. It may be hard, but all you can do is keep going. 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... What with Jericho's excitement at the last trial, it's evident now more than ever that the new floor that's opened up to you is a gift, a reward for a job well-done. Because while surviving is something that you'll continue to try to do of your own merit...well. Let's say that he's so, so very proud of you.

[ Finally, she speaks from the other side of the door: ]

I pride myself an having a good memory for details.

[matchbreaker]

I don't, traditionally.

[ she's going to just...

Set the susan one on the table and focus on the Adelina one for now... ]

I've drawn for years and years, but not as much painting. I decided to change it up today.

[chessturner]

I don't have very good intuition. I always rely on logic and knowledge, intuition is something I have never relied on.

[Maybe she relies on her brains too much]

[matchbreaker]

[ She summed it up way back on that first day, didn't she? Everyone wants to fall in love. There are things - people, memories, a life free some loneliness and a place where she can outlive everyone - which matter more than anyone else here. More than all the human bats, more than those gods, more than Aligula and... yes, it has to be more than Sayaka and Rin and Adelina and Susan and the others.

It's been a month, a month isn't worth the same as blood, and the ties she has to that blood.

... But similarly, a granddaughter's happiness isn't worth a species.

She's gotten far, far too old. ]

You've got people you're making promises like that to, other than me? [ It's said with some mild surprise, but . . . ] Good. Like I said, you're making it out alive from here.

[chessturner]

As I see it...you may be the difference between him deciding to obliterate everyone and he being no more than an alchemist more with a knack for explosions. Working for you may have saved humanity in your world.

[Not that you're an altrustic and charming man, Archer, your secret shows it very well]

[bloodisthicker]

I don't actually know how it works, honestly. I know how it felt, of course, but... I suppose someone who was a genius could figure something out?

...

I know Amon and the Equalists know how to employ chi-blocking to temporarily incapacitate benders, so perhaps he figured out how to apply bloodbending to render that more permanent.

[chessturner]

Then it should be difficult to make you forget anything. Could such thing even be possible? Making someone forget something permanently?

[Obviously it's possible to forget something, but it always seems like it's temporal. As she sees it, maybe they can't make someone forget something forever]

[perpend]

[Cabanela is completely here for shittalking Jericho's apparent taste in coffee.]

Considering how easy it seems to be for them to get just about anything they want, you'd think they'd be able to afford decent coffee.

[sadisticwarfare]

I'm aware.

[Hi, Terumi. He'll try again, this time hitting closer to the center. Apparently he just needs someone to be like this at him???]

What brings you here?

[sadisticwarfare]

...It's fine. I don't mind it at all.

[Which is sort of surprising, actually.]

[sadisticwarfare]

[Archer shakes his head at that, but he looks faintly amused.]

Kimbley - the one I know back home - wouldn't be ambitious enough to try to destroy humanity. He'd be bored if they succeeded.

[matchbreaker]

[ So nothing.

Of course it's nothing. The stupid, human girl.

She drags her nails on the door again before she finally goes for the handle, opening it just a little bit. So they don't need to speak up as much when talking. ]

Can you?

[heritrix]

[Chi-blocking...]

He's hitting the right pressure points, in other words. If you generate chi similarly to how a mage creates magical energy, then yes. He could do be flipping your off switch, in a sense.

[heritrix]

If you think it's a fault, shouldn't you work on it?

[ninehundredlives]

Not that in particular, but there's been a few murder dungeons in general. I wouldn't be all that shocked...

[ninehundredlives]

......ah.

Well, if we ever get out of here, I'm sure there's plenty of ways to make it unusable.

[ninehundredlives]

Yeah. I didn't really appreciate the possibility, while I still had it.

[bloodisthicker]

Maybe it's inexplicably Jericho's favorite brand.

[matchbreaker]

Oh yeah, I just got a nice brush and comb! I'm just checking where we're starting from!

[ Getting haircare in the dark is totally normal. Particularly if Hibiki touches the desk at all the notice there are scratches in it... ]

[ninehundredlives]

[Okay, let's go. She approaches, taking a bow down off the rack herself as she comes.]

That's fair. I'd rather not need it for...anything urgent, here.

[matchbreaker]

Don't be silly, of course it is. How good your memory is or isn't have no bearing on that. This is by far the most real and tangible threat that he's given out yet.

[ She slides down the door, sitting down with her back against it on the other side, raising her voice to make sure it can still be heard. ]

[spiritform]

I will be sure to do that.

[Yes. Friends.]

It is easy to feel powerless in this situation, however... little things like being able to enjoy meals together... makes me happy.

[heritrix]

So you sing, and work with animals on TV. There were those bentos, too. What else do you do as an idol?

[brandnewday]

[Hibiki has a fear. Right now, she keeps her hands folded in her lap. It's only a matter of time before she notices scratches and scares herself.]

Your eyesight must be really great, Elda. I can't see my own nose like this.

[Her hair hangs down pretty far when it's not tied like it usually is. There's a lot of clean idol hair to work with there. She shifts a little in her seat, trying to relax.]

[brandnewday]

Namassuka Sunday! It's a variety show where I have a segment about tryin' to fulfill challenges the staff sets for me! I've done gravure shoots, cooking shows, radio shows, zoo appearances...even Hamuzou has fans! I'm always pretty busy!
