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!]

[--WAIT, WHAT. Hi, Elda, Sayaka practically jolts a bit at that.]

What? How--who are they? Are they anyone we can recognize?

[matchbreaker]

Well, because they're dead and they're lingering about? There's several I've seen already, but the big stand outs I'd say would be Sigrun, Green, the bubblegum princess, the priest and... Kimblee.

[ She might be showboating a little, but even she can be more gentle throwing out that last one.

[destage]

[...oh god.

Oh god, that's...that's...hang on, she both looks utterly thrown and kind of...weird? Like she's not sure if she's happy or sad about this?]

Oh--oh my god...they're still here? They're still stuck here?

[matchbreaker]

-Girl, that's a good thing, isn't it? It means they still exist.

[ Like. Really??? She thought she was going to have a positive revelation here. ]

[destage]

No! No, I...I get that much, I--

[What's the nicest, most emotionally adjusted way of saying 'I think I'll legit cry if I see some people again?'? Sayaka has no clue, but...]

I...I am happy to hear that, and the fact that they still exist. I just...it's kind of unbelievable, you know?

[matchbreaker]

Well! Maybe a little, but then ghosts are sort of normal when people die under traumatic circumstances or with lingering regrets.

[ Elda. ]

I'm just glad I finally found 'em! Still working out if there's a way we can talk to them though, if anyone's got any suggestions. Oh, I guess Kimblee and Sigrun are on okay terms now.

[ Which is. Weird. But ok. ]

[heritrix]

So they're interacting with each other?

[matchbreaker]

Mmhm! Sigrun and Kimblee seemed to be playing around together and the princess seems naturally skittish of your priest.

[ Which... again, that's sort of. Expected. ]

[hesperos]

Wait, what?

[ ... ]

Huh. Good job, Elda.

[matchbreaker]

Oh course! I'm doing my best here.

[heritrix]

[Mmm. Rin listens to Elda's response to Kyrie down there as well and...]

It's bizarre. [Rin says that very plainly, sipping at a cup of tea.] If they're ghosts, they're not typical ones.

[matchbreaker]

Because they still seem to be people to a much greater extent? They had their normal forms, just not... normally visible. Also you can't touch them.

[innocentloveholic]

Why not a ouija board or something? That's how it works in movies, isn't it?

[matchbreaker]

I was thinking that, Susan brought it up the other week. Never done it myself, but you probably know the procedure, right? We could make a seance party of it.

[innocentloveholic]

We should've done that at the Halloween partyyyyy, it would've, like... Totally suited the mood! Ugh.

[ she thought of ghost stories but not seances..... ]

But I guess we could, yeah! It'd be fun, at least.

[notaccurate]

[One quick google search later And this is where Luca gives Aligula a blank look.]

Care to explain that for those of us from the past?

[innocentloveholic]

[ we need computers and internet so luca can learn SO MUCH SHIT ]

It's just a board with a bunch of letters and numbers on it! Oh, and... some words too, I think? "Yes," "no," and "good bye"...? And there's this thingy you put your fingers on so the spirit can move it through you and answer your questions! It's pretty, like, classic horror stuff.

[notaccurate]

How about corralling them with salt? If we draw salt lines in specific places, then maybe they will notice they are unable to move in certain places. Then we can use that to form letters or something.

[matchbreaker]

Do you have purified salt on you? I'm pretty sure table salt doesn't work for things like this?

[notaccurate]

Are you sure? I always thought it was just salt in some form that was needed.

[TOO BAD THEIR PRIEST COMMITTED MURDER MIRITE]

[ninehundredlives]

...I'll say it, if nobody else will. We should set up a time and place for whoever dies next to meet whoever doesn't. It might help if both sides know to look for something.

[heritrix]

That's an incredibly smart idea, actually. There might be things they can see on the other side that we ourselves can't. Especially if our theory that Jericho and co. are after us for our souls.

[ninehundredlives]

Yeah, you see some shit when you die. I've never known it to line up to the real world that well, but since it does, I wouldn't be surprised if they've got information we don't.

[casually mentioning the fact that she's died multiple times I guess]

[matchbreaker]

You can also see things that the ghost're holding or interacting with. Or at least I could. So if they held up a notebook or something, we might be able to "hear" them, or well... read it.

[ninehundredlives]

So at least messages could go one way, if Rin's right.

Okay. You had better still be alive in a week, Elda, so how about...Monday afternoon, in the library. Can everybody remember that?
