Week 2.

[trustmods]

WEEK 2 Two people are dead. Ken Kaneki has been murdered, Reaver has been executed - and perhaps most uncomfortably, the Conductor is proud of you all for adhering to due process. (As always, by which he means that there is a process, and you all are certainly doing it.) 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... However, once you've shaken that off, there are new things to be looked at; the previously closed-off area near the kitchen has been unlocked, and there's a new floor to be explored - consider it your reward for a job well done. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 27

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

["He was dead all right. No question about that. But there wasn't a scratch on him."
"Not a scratch...? But I thought he was hit by a meteorite fragment?"

Now, thaaaat's just not what he expected to dream about. It must be the guilt from not being able to stop Reaver in the act, and then sending him to a grizzly fate.

...But dreaming about that...? And discussing it with...

Well. It was just a dream.

...

First thing's first, he takes a stop by the vending machine, where he gets something he's never seen before.

It's.... interesting, to say the least; maybe it belongs to someone else in the group. He pockets it to share it later.

His second stop is the laundry room where he will be wearing a ridiculous dinosaur costume since everything else is dirty.

Once... that whole thing is taken care of, he'll be back in his spotless white coat and heads for the library. There's no specific reason for him to be here, but it's... new, and maybe he'll be able to find something about those creepy shadows from yesterday.]

laundry

[announcemyvictory]

[Elise is still struggling with washing her clothes, but at least she's being careful about it.]

They still won't give us a machine, or at least someone to do this for us. The Conductor must think this is a challenge worthy of his test.

[perpend]

[Cabanela is definitely taking his time; his arm might be in a split, but he's still not entirely able to use his left hand normally.]

It's veery curious, isn't it?

What kind of place doesn't have a washing machine?

[announcemyvictory]

Exactly! I don't know where he's getting these ancient things. They must have come with the building. It looks old enough.

[perpend]

The building suuure seems like it's been here for a while.

It makes me wonder what else is waiting for us. There's a whole second floor for us to explore now, after all. Maybe there's some evidence of where the people who were here before went.

[announcemyvictory]

You mean to say that this place wasn't just picked up after being abandoned for its age?

library;

[crimsonchin]

If you're looking for something specific, you might have a hard time.

[ Says Asuka, who hasn't looked up from the book she's reading... ]

This library's pretty inadequate, to say the least, Inspector.

[perpend]

[Well, that's disappointing to hear, but not entirely surprising.]

It looks like you've found something to read, though.

[crimsonchin]

It's no Doktor Faustus, but it's enough to keep me at least a little bit entertained. Are you familiar at all?

[perpend]

I can't say I am, sadly.

[He's the type to read ridiculous adventure novels.]

[crimsonchin]

It's about a composer, a genius man, incredibly skilled at his craft. ...But he isn't satisfied with his position in life; he wants to do something completely fulfilling, something that will cement him as being truly great.

He intentionally diseases himself, so that he can be inspired by it. He goes mad. He's visited by a demon...and he sells his soul, in exchange for twenty-four years of true genius. His madness, his demonic inspiration...it leads to musical creativity unlike anything the world has ever seen before.

Laundry

[charcoalfeather]

...W-waah!

[Yeah, that tiny gasp is coming from Rakka, who had just stepped into the laundry room, eyes falling on the strange dinosaur being standing before her-Oh, it was Cabanela.

Well, now she feels foolish.]

O-oh. Hello there, mister Inspector.

[perpend]

[Well, that gets him to laugh faintly.]

Hello, Rakka.

Sorry about that liiittle fright there; I don't have anything else to wear.

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka, you jumpy little angel... She tries to laugh her embarrassment off, stepping into the room proper now, a bundle of stuff in her arms.]

W-well, sorry, I probably shouldn't be too surprised. [even though she was, because who expects a dinosaur man in a laundry room??] I guess you got that from the vending machine?

[perpend]

I did, yes!

[This is a perfectly ordinary costume to wear, really!]

I needed to do some laundry, and don't have anything else to wear, unfortunately.

[charcoalfeather]

I got a costume from the machine too, but it's just a weird bear, I think.

[Yeti, Rakka. Yeti...]

It feels like every other day that we need to wash things. [Which is... not unusual. Thinking about the group's wardrobes.]

library

[shuttermouse]

Hey, Cabanela-san.

[ Chie has no specific reason to be here either, but here she is wearing her nonsensical Tsukiyama outfit because why the hell not, she has decided to embrace her ugly wardrobe. The pants are comfy as hell. She's also carrying her instant camera; this is the real deal and not a toy. ]

[perpend]

Heeeey there, Chie.

[Look at that. That sure seems to be the real deal this time, instead of a toy.]

Is that your camera?

[shuttermouse]

Yup. Well, the camera I normally use is a Canon, but an instant camera is more useful here than a digital one.

[ Since it develops and prints photos automatically. ]

[perpend]

I hope you find a lot of uses for it here.

[Live up to that title, Informative!]

[shuttermouse]

I intend to. Next time someone dies, I'll be able to take pics of the crime scene.

laundry

[swirlied]

[ Yuuri is just passing by the laundry room when he sees something out of the corner of his eye. He stops short, looking at the person in the room for a second as he realizes it's Cabanela and he's wearing a weird dinosaur costume. ]

...Why are you wearing that?

[perpend]

[He gives a cheerful, dismissive wave with his right hand.]

No clean laundry, maaaan.

You know how it is.

[swirlied]

I guess so...

[ But still, a dinosaur costume... ]

You got that from the vending machine, didn't you?

[perpend]

[Cabanela gives a short nod.]</small It's not exactly my style, but I need to wear something while I do laundry.
