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

...It was different with Kaneki. He was killed and that... that was horrible. I liked him; I didn't want him to die. But that's different than having to execute someone, than choosing your own life over someone else's.

I had to let Reaver die. There wasn't any other option. But I couldn't vote for him; I couldn't send him to his death.

[He gets what you're trying to say, but these are two situations he can't possibly compare.]

[perpend]

[...You're a mess, Logan.]

I don't think anyone can blame you for that, you know. It was a terrible situation.

[decrees]

...It doesn't matter if no one else blames me for it. I'll always blame myself.

[And that's the issue, isn't it? It's the same with everything he's done to Albion.]

I can never make up for what I've done. I can never apologize for what I've done. There was no way to ensure Albion's survival in a situation like that. Still, knowing that I've doomed my country... I'm not sure I can go back and face it.

[He has to, of course. He isn't a coward and he can't run away from this. He has to face it.]

[perpend]

If you're a just king, I'm sure your people will understand. You shouldn't worry so much about it.

[Ahahahahaha.]

[decrees]

[uhhhhhhhhhhh.... so do you want him to tell you where you're wrong, or]

They don't even know of the coming threat. It was not something I could tell them.

[yeah you can think he's a good person for a little while longer, okay]

[perpend]

[He hasn't forgotten about the "likes executions" thing, alright. He's just tying to do some sort of... something or other.]

There's still a chance we'll get out of here before that happens, isn't there?

[decrees]

...There is a year before the attack, yes.

[Well, a year and a few months, but that's not important.]

Even so, I have spent the past four years preparing and we are nowhere near ready to face it.

[And without Reaver's assistance...]

[perpend]

[He knows Logan isn't going to tell him what the hell he's actually up against, but "it" seemingly rules out a foreign country invading.]

I reeally wish I could help you out, but even if I could, there's nothing we can do while stuck in here.

[decrees]

I know. I have received offers from some of the others here. Perhaps they will be able to help.

[If they aren't... well. He's still trying to come to terms with that.]

[perpend]

We're noooot much of an army, but it's better than just sitting around.

[At least until they start learning about other potential doomed worlds....]

[decrees]

...I was relying on an army because there aren't any Heroes left in Albion. There are other worlds and people with other abilities that may be able to help.

[perpend]

That... must be terrible.

I have no abilities to speak of, but if I make it out of this alive, you have my support.

[decrees]

I appreciate it.

[It doesn't mean much right now, but he understands what Cabanela is getting at.]

I will do everything in my power to save Albion.

["This is my Albion, and I shall see it fall before I surrender it."]
