WEEK 6.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 6 You've lost a lot of people this week, haven't you? Katniss Everdeen and Weiss Schnee were killed for rule violations, while Chie Hori and Frank Archer were murdered by Mikoto Suoh and Yuuki Terumi. It doesn't really matter how they died, though, does it? After all, they're dead now and the only thing you can do is keep moving forward. It seems like there's no end in sight. 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... Changes were promised to you this week; while Sunday dawns seeming no different from the previous weeks, it seems one change is going to remain a constant - namely, a new floor has been opened up to you. Whether this is a promising sign or not is something that you're going to need to decide for yourself. The important thing, for now, is that you continue to do well. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 19

There's a door that Susan found two weeks ago that wouldn't open. I figured I would try it again.

[Maybe it will open, maybe it won't, who knows at this moment.]

The button I found in the library before apparently opened a partition in this room.

[hesperos]

I remember that--you mentioned something about it in one of those meetings.

[ ...He can't be bothered to remember which week it was but shh he's been trying to keep track of things. ]

[firstaid]

Yes. It was quite a while back.

[She doesn't blame him for not remembering, to be honest.]

[hesperos]

[ Excellent.

Anyway... ]

So, y'know we're in here in the game room waiting for whenever the door might decide to 'open sesame' itself--why don't we play a game while we're waiting?

[firstaid]

Sure. What kind of game would you like to play?

[She's not good at many games aside from card games since she really hasn't learned how to play them, however, she can be taught.]

[hesperos]

[ Hmmmmm ... he'll head over to the board games. La dee da, he finds one that is probably very much monopoly except with the actual name. He'll wave the box at her. ]

What about this one?

[firstaid]

Do you know the rules? If not, we can learn together!

[That might be fun to do. She's happy enough with that.]

[hesperos]

It looks similar to a game I've played back at home, so maybe the rules are the same.

[ He opens it up and there are like pieces with various shapes. There's a hat, an anchor, a flower, one shaped like parsley for some reason, and a bunch of other ones too. ]

Here, looks like we're supposed to pick out a piece for ourselves first.

[ So pick whichever one you want, Estelle. ]

[firstaid]

[Estelle naturally picks the flower piece.]

I'll take this one, then!

[And so places it at the start, since it looks like that's where you need to put the piece. Logic, or something like that... she has it.]

[hesperos]

[ Yuri just picks the hat because why the hell not. Going with the flow here. ]

How'd I know you were gonna choose that one?

[ He places his own down next to hers at the start, and he gets out the dice. He opens up the rulebook too, though he's just going to pretty much skim it. ]

[firstaid]

[She giggles a little when Yuri says that before placing her hands in her lap as she looks at Yuri expectantly to tell her the rules and how to play.]

[hesperos]

Alright, looks like we take turns and then throw the dice. Based on the numbers of dice, that's how far we get, and then there's these slips of paper that you pick up after you're finished moving your piece. There's some spots on the game board that can send you straight to jail or give bonuses if you're that lucky.

You got everything?

[firstaid]

Yes, I believe I do.

[She looks at the pieces then looks at the dice.]

Do you wish to go first, Yuri?

1/2

[hesperos]

Yeah, I'll go.

[ He rolls the dice and look at that, he got 12 steps from the two dice roll. ]

Heh, well what do you know? Looks like I got a pretty big headstart. Lucky me, huh?

[ He smirks as he moves the hat along and he places it down on the 12th spot. Then he picks up a slip of paper. ]

Let's see...

2/2

[hesperos]

"Do not pass go, do not collect the 200, go straight to jail."

[ The look on his face. Him and big damn mouth.

Okay, fine. He'll move the hat to jail. ]

1/2

[firstaid]

[Estelle can't help but giggle at that before her expression almost appears to be that of pity.]

I suppose even a game won't let you off easy.

[Estelle rolls the dice and gets an 8, so she moves her piece that many spaces for a property as she looks at it.]

So I just need to buy it, right? [Hmm, this all seems so complicated.]

2/2

[firstaid]

[Though she seems to have another thought come to mind that has nothing to do with the game.]

By the way, Yuri, what kind of dream did you have? I had a rather nice one-- one that confirmed what you said a couple of weeks ago.

[hesperos]

Yeah just go ahead and buy it. Though you have some starting money, you're not gonna wanna squander it all.

[ Let's pretend he told her how much they start off with. But anyway. ]

Mine was just reuniting with everyone after Duke saved my ass. I'm glad you finally had a dream that confirmed what I said, though I figured it was due to come eventually. Anyway, what exactly happened in yours?

[ He has a feeling he knows what but it's good to chat over a game--especially when they're good dreams. ]

[firstaid]

[Good dreams are nice to talk about. Happy things in general are nice to talk about and maybe forget about this forsaken place for a few moments.]

I'm happy to hear you reunited with everyone.

[She doesn't quite know how this goes, she's just glad it all ends well.]

My dream, you kept telling me to fight and not give up. You showed me my mother's memento and I think that helped me remember who I wanted to be, not the girl who was under someone else's control. After that, I knew that I wanted to live and be with everyone.

[She giggles a bit before she pouts.]

Then you all tried to leave without me! [Mostly because Rita had changed her formula so she was using her life force for artes instead of aer, but oh well. That doesn't matter since she knows Undine controls that now.

She then smiles once more.]

However, I was able to convince you all to let me come along.

[hesperos]

[ ... He'll smile at that. It really was about time she'd have that dream--anyway, he'll lean back in the seat he's probably taken once they started playing. ]

Naturally. You can be pretty persistent, and if you weren't around we'd probably feel the absence soon enough or something like that.

[ They still have a long way to go--he knows this. But as far as he could tell some more progress has been made on her end at least, and that's something. ]

[firstaid]

I'm sure you would.

[Estelle can be sort of sassy at times, but she means well by it with her laughs. She's having fun. Also, she probably paid for her property and got the deed by this point. Your turn, Yuri!]

After all, I'm one of you guys, right?

[hesperos]

[ Speaking of the game, Yuri's thoughts are now adding up to, C'mon dice! or something like that, hoping he rolls the right set of numbers to get out of jail.

... He doesn't get out of jail because it adds up to the number "three". Damnit. ]

Yeah, you always will be.

[firstaid]

I'm truly glad for that.

[Estelle rolls the dice herself now that it's her turn. An 11!

Well, she lands on a spot with one of the cards and picks one up and reads it aloud.]

'Get out of jail free'.

[She holds it to show Yuri.]

Am I allowed to give this to you?

[Estelle clearly stinks at competitive games...]

[hesperos]

You are, but you're not supposed to give that sort of thing to me so easily. I'm supposed to find a way to get out on my own.

[ ... ]

But let me guess, you're gonna insist I take it, aren't you?

[firstaid]

Well, I don't see why I can't just give it to you. After all, I don't need it.

[Foresight. She lacks foresight. God bless Estelle.]
