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

[OOC: Welcome to week two of Trustfell! Save your threads for coins and the coming week's activity check; don't forget to check in to this week's activity check and submit your memory regains as well!

The Letters and Switchboard posts are still active, for the sake of contacting the jerk who's keeping you here, to be used at your leisure!]

[decrees]

...Well, it is, but I doubt you'd believe a word of it.

[Logan marks his page with a folded piece of paper and sets the book down in his lap. He's not taking his hands off it and he's certainly not handing it over for Giovanni to examine. Sorry.]

I received this from the machine earlier today. It's Reaver's autobiography.

[...To be honest he's not sure he believes any of this book is nonfiction.]

[oftheland]

[awwwww. :C

...but wow, that timing.]

...ah, that's... well, I'm sure it's probably entertaining, at least.

But I don't know, there's a lot of things I'm willing to believe... and there are also a lot of things I'll accept are probably embellished.

[decrees]

He... was certainly an interesting man.

[To uh. Put it nicely...]

Some of this is so ridiculous I can't help but believe it.

[REAVER WOULD MAKE UP A LOT OF SHIT but picking off the captain of a ship from really far away is totally something he could do.]

[oftheland]

Haha, he did seem like that kind of guy. I didn't get to spend too much time talking to him, but he was definitely the sort of person I wanted to get to know better.

[...Giovanni you... do realize what this says about you, don't you]

[decrees]

...Well, he was certainly very unique.

[Giovanni, he's not even sure what part of Reaver you wanted to get to know. The really weird embarrassing depraved bisexual part?? The unrepentant egotistical asshole part?? The gigantic nerd part-- okay, hopefully it was that one.]

Albion will not be the same without him.

[BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GONNA BE HELLA DEAD IN ABOUT A YEAR]

[oftheland]

[How about all of the above? All of the above sounds good.]

...I can imagine.

[...hm. He... isn't sure if he should say something about it or not... after all, it's probably not particularly comforting coming from someone who doesn't really know the situation. But...]

I think you should have faith that there's still a chance for your country, though. I've seen more than a few potentially world-ending catastrophes stopped by the most unlikely people... although, it's really possible that my world might just be a little special.

[decrees]

...I suppose I can't rule it out as a possibility. Dangerous situations have often resulted in the emergence of Heroes.

[But that's totally not going to happen. Yep. Definitely not. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A HERO IN THE GODDAMN CASTLE oh my god this game]

I suppose there's not much I can do until I return home, but perhaps the situation will have changed in my absence.

[hahahaha sister you better not have let the country burn to the ground while he's been here]

[oftheland]

...well, in fairness... how do you know it hasn't been dealt with already? That may sound a bit odd, but... I'm beginning to wonder a thing or two after everything I've learned from everyone else.

[decrees]

It is supposed to happen in a little over a year. Unless someone specifically went out to deal with it, there's no way that's possible. Since no one knows, I would assume nothing has changed there.

[...]

What are you wondering, exactly?

[It sounds like there's more to this.]

[oftheland]

...Ah, wait. Your profile... didn't it say you were a year older than you remember being?

I think the key word there is "remember," by the way.

[decrees]

[That... He should have put the pieces together earlier. Why would the profile list him as being one year older when the Conductor already knows so much about him? That must have been done intentionally, either to mess him up and believe the attack already happened or...

Or maybe Giovanni's right and maybe Logan is missing some memories. That can't be... can it?]

What... makes you believe that's even possible?

[logan you are from a world with literal magic oh my god]

[oftheland]

...Well, there is a legend back home about a creature that can erase your memories if you see its eyes, so I at least have some familiarity with the possibility.

But... I think that Blue is actually physically older than she remembers being, and I had a strange dream that didn't quite feel like a dream, I suppose.

[decrees]

A dream... I had an odd one as well, but...

[There's no way that could have been a memory. It doesn't make any sense.]

I suppose we cannot rule that possibility out just yet. Perhaps some of the others have had odd dreams as well.

[oftheland]

I suppose it's worth asking around about it, then. I'm not sure if I'd say it's worrying, because it might make a few things make sense in the long run, but it's certainly something we want to keep an eye on.

[decrees]

Indeed. Perhaps we'll receive answers in time.

[Though he doubts it. The Conductor's an asshole who likes to make his life miserable, so.]

[oftheland]

I'm sure we'll probably have to go out and find them instead of expecting to receive them, honestly. It's difficult to know where to start looking, but... I don't think we're getting much out of our host.

[decrees]

...You're right, of course. The Conductor will not give us any information freely. If we're to learn anything about how we were brought here, we'll have to figure it out on our own.

[...how the hell are we going to do that.]

[oftheland]

Precisely. I'm not entirely sure where to start looking, honestly... there's nothing immediately obvious that jumps out at me, but I guess I could not be looking hard enough.

[decrees]

There are new rooms to explore, though I doubt the sewing room would hold anything of interest and that one room with the large table seems to be a dead end as well.

[what the fuck is a conference room]

[oftheland]

I suppose if you were feeling dedicated, you actually could hide something in a sewing room... but you're probably right. Granted, the fact that they're so unassuming might make them the perfect spots to hide something, thinking about it...

[decrees]

Ah... That's a fair point. Perhaps someone will be able to find something there.

[He doesn't know the first thing about sewing, he wouldn't notice anything out of place...]

[oftheland]

If not, we can just rule them out, I suppose... which is helpful in its own way.

[decrees]

Hopefully we'll be able to find something here.

[But he doubts the Conductor would open up another floor unless he was sure there wasn't anything for them to find...]

[oftheland]

Well, we are supposed to take initiative, aren't we? Perhaps we'll be rewarded.
