Week 7.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 7 Orihime Inoue, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, and Kirei Kotomine all died this past week. One of your Coordinators died as well, leaving you with a new face but still no end to this. Several of you are finding yourselves at a crossroads: either keep moving forward, or accept the inevitability of fate. It's your own choice, your own decision; no one's going to make it for you. Over half of you are gone now. 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... Once again, a new floor has been opened to you; unfortunately, either this is a particularly strange reward or Jericho is starting to get downright sarcastic. Perhaps there's something in it for you despite the setup; who knows, though there's really only one way to find out. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 16

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week seven of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Coordinators, you can do so through private meetings with Hilda!]

Comments

[chessturner]

...hello?

[This is something she'll definitely have to talk about during the next meeting. She slowly gets off the stepladder and moves it closer to where the feline is, and ascends again]

Stay still.

[She doesn't try to grab it, but she does try to get a better look. She doubts she'll manage to catch it, so she wants to take a good enough look to describe it to other people later]

[trustfellows]

[Well, the cat doesn't seem to see Kyrie as a threat at all, perhaps understandably given that it is in fact some sort of mechanical thing and she is very much a person; it just sort of looks at her idly, tail flicking once in a while.]

[chessturner]

This is so strange...

[Well, enough staring. Those who take action will rule the world! Kyrie slowly takes off her coat, always looking at the cat, and tries to catch it with her coat.

How badly does that go?]

[trustfellows]

[Oh my god.

I mean, for what it's worth, the thing doesn't jump away or anything, but it does let out a weird and surprisingly realistic meowing noise when picked up - there is also going to be some struggling from inside the coat, but it's less panicked and more just "WELL I GUESS THIS IS WHAT I'M DOING NOW, EVEN IF I'M NOT HAPPY WITH IT" token protesting.

...You are now +1 robot cat in a coat. What now?]

CATVENTURES

[chessturner]

[For a moment she can't believe it actually worked! But there she has a cat in her coat, so...

She gets out of the library, being as careful as possible with the cat. This is important. This is valuable. She can't go around screaming her head off to get everyone to come and check out what she found.

That's why she hopes to encounter someone]

Gather everyone. This is important.

[heritrix]

[She was just coming in to check out the new room, when...]

What is it, Ushiromiya-san? You look like you're about to climb down a chimney.

[chessturner]

I found something rather interesting. Quick, get everyone before it gets away.

[She moves her coat a bit]

[ninehundredlives]

What do you mean, get away?

[what the fuck is it alive]

[chessturner]

You'll see.

[Once everyone has been gathered inside the library, Kyrie puts her coat on the table, ready for the reveal]

Someone close the door. We don't want this to get away so soon.

[With a swift move, she lets go of the cat, throwing the coat aside. Have fun with the robot cat, guys]

I found this mechanical creature lurking around here. I suppose it doesn't belong to anyone here?

[trustfellows]

[Well, the robot cat seems...a little disoriented, honestly, now that it no longer is surrounded by coat; it shakes its head roughly before looking around aaaaaand-

...Promptly jumping down and slinking very quickly under the table, where it proceeds to crouch down, tail flicking agitatedly.]

[destage]

[...you know, this has to be one of the most unusually cute things she has ever seen in her life? Like, holy shit. That's a robocat, and that is cute as hell.

So, Sayaka's gonna crouch down under the table and just...kind of extend her hand out? Not explicitly going to pet the new kitty friend, but never the less still offering. Cats are always so cute...]

[trustfellows]

[You are getting batted at!

...Not enough to actually hurt or break your hand or anything, if anything, it's kind of in that weird tentative sort of way that cats do when they are not sure what you're doing but you should probably not be doing it? But yes.]

[destage]

Aww...

[She's never personally had a cat before, but it feels like she's being told to back off and she will. Just a little sadly. She wanted to pet the kitty...]

I don't think she really likes to be touched.

[chessturner]

At least it's not attacking nor trying to flee. That's encouraging.

[destage]

Minorly, at least...we'll just have to make sure nobody gets too close, unless we want her to flee.

[bloodisthicker]

[...

...

...]

I think I may have a solution.

[TARRLOK EXIT STAGE RIGHT]

[destage]

Tarrlok-san, wh--

[Oh god, what sort of misadventure are we getting ourselves into here.

There he go.]

[hesperos]

[ ...Is that a cat. Aw.

He'll come over to see what's going on here. ]

Hey there, little buddy.

[ He'll give the cat a friendly wave. ]

[trustfellows]

[Oh. Hello there.

It isn't going to come out from under the table, but it does seem aware that Yuri is there at least. Hi. So much tail-flicking.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda's in here wearing some stupid goggles like she is the rest of the day ]

What, you put it in a coat? That's going to make it more hostile.

[ STILL that's... what the hell is that... ]

[chessturner]

I had to catch it somehow.

[And since it worked, it clearly was the right thing to do, as far as she's concerned. Poor robot cat...]

[matchbreaker]

Huh. Fair enough.

[ A beat and she tilts her head... you know, maybe she should - she rummages in the little makeshift bag she's got over her shoulder to pull out Ditty's Pokeball, but doesn't quite call the thing out yet ]

Does it talk?

[chessturner]

I don't think it can. So far it has behaved like a normal cat...

[She seems a bit uncomfortable. Robots and machines like these weren't exactly commonplace in 1986, she doesn't know what to do]

[heritrix]

Could it be a familiar? [Rin crouches low, to better take in its appearance. See, where everyone else is thinking robot, it's so cat-like Rin has skipped over that idea 100% completely. It's too interesting to be a machine.] Maybe it's tasked to watch over this library.

[Rin takes out something from her pocket; one of the blue pendants you can find in the vending machine. Aligula gave it to her. On a whim, she dangles it out between her and the cat, to see if it'll interact with it.]

[perpend]

That's... incredibly sophisticated.

[Especially sine it does seem like a normal cat.]
