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

I think it would be best to begin with methods to fend off someone who begins attacking you, rather than initiating combat yourself. Self defense tactics, and the like.

[ninehundredlives]

That makes sense. Definitely more relevant, here.

[bloodbiter]

I certainly agree. To know the best way to instruct you, then... Would you say your specialty is swiftness or strength?

[ninehundredlives]

...probably speed, I guess? [She's not sure either is her specialty, but if she had to choose.]

[bloodbiter]

Alright. Then, we can focus on that. But, to begin with... Do you know the general areas it’s best to strike at if someone comes towards you with intent to harm?

[ninehundredlives]

I've always just smashed them over the head, in the past. Doesn't work as well without a weapon, though.

[bloodbiter]

You always have a weapon. Your nails, your teeth, your hands and feet... Rather than over the head, try aiming for their eyes or their neck, or their knees.

[ninehundredlives]

[Susan smiles faintly.] I wasn't going to try to punch somebody over the head, don't worry. The eyes make sense.

[bloodbiter]

[A nod.]

Striking there should give you enough time to make an escape, or incapacitate them further if you think they will continue to pursue you.

[ninehundredlives]

I'm sure they would. What would we even do around here if somebody just attempted a murder and didn't manage? I guess we'd have to keep them around, but...what a nightmare that'd be.

[bloodbiter]

I suppose it is better than the alternative, but... It's worrisome to think of nonetheless.

[ninehundredlives]

We couldn't trust them. I guess you could say we can't trust anyone anyway, but...that's no way to live here.

[bloodbiter]

At least we would know we could not trust them. In a way, it is better than trying to decide who we can truly depend on, I suppose.

[ninehundredlives]

A known danger. I get that. But at the same time...how long would it be before someone finally ended it?

[bloodbiter]

...I imagine they would be making themselves a clear target if they tried to kill someone and failed. That is a good point.
