Week 8.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 8 Regardless of what you think of the most recent deaths, four more people have died this week. Milla Maxwell, Angel, Susan Ashworth, and Aligula are gone now, leaving you with about a quarter of your original number. Thirty-five down to twelve - this can't keep going for much longer, can it? Is there anything you can do? 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... Unlike the previous weeks, however, it seems that either you've reached the end of the line or Jericho has decided to stop rewarding you for your effort; where there would usually be a stairwell to a new floor, you're met with nothing but solid wall. Perhaps it's distressing; perhaps it's a good sign. Only time will tell, and time isn't something you have a lot of around here. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ As funny as it would be to do the hallway thing, Elda isn't really out of the room until like noon. So when she pokes her head in here...

... Oh, what's he doing? She tilts her head to watch. ]

[hesperos]

[ First, a flurry of punches, which slide into a few well executed kicks--he seems to abruptly stop for a moment. Though why he does is a mystety.

He smiles a little to himself now, however, as he continues to throw a few more punches. He doesn't seem to have noticed Elda as of yet. Apparently, anyway. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ Well she wasn't being stealthy at first, though her footsteps are, as ever, light. and once he pauses there...

Well, she opts to actually sneak the next bit, to get up behind the man and poke him in the small of his back with a long nail. That's the goal, at least. ]

1/2

[hesperos]

[ Yuri jumps...! ]

2/2

[hesperos]

[ But when he turns around... ]

Hey, Elda. Trying to see how many people you can sneak up on today?

[matchbreaker]

Nope, this was chance!

[ She hops back with a smirk on her face though HA ha still got it. ]

[hesperos]

Well, cherish it, since it's the last time you're gonna get the drop on me.

[ Yuri doesn't mind too much, though, since he's pretty chill, and moves to lean against the wall. ]

[matchbreaker]

Doubt it! The only one who ever noticed me was Kirei.

[hesperos]

[ He snorts. ]

Well, now you've gotta try again sometime in the future so I can prove you wrong.

[matchbreaker]

With pleasure.

[ She smirks, baring fangs and with cat-like eyes. The competition is a little bit still, but still. ]

[hesperos]

Wow, you're a person who likes to rise to the challenge too, huh?

[ He'll smirk in return, moving a hand to rest on his hip. ]

[matchbreaker]

Well, there's that, and you're questioning my hunting skills.

[hesperos]

So now this has become a matter of pride?

[ Yuri looks amused, if anything. ]

Guess I should really be on the lookout now.

[matchbreaker]

But of course.

[ She hums. ]

But man, are you so worried about being rusty?

[hesperos]

Not really so much as worried, but it's something to keep me occupied, if you know what I mean?

[ It just has the added benefit of keeping him from being rusty too. ]

[matchbreaker]

Huh... I'll never really get that sort of thing. I guess I just don't have the mind for battles.

[ Shrug. ]

[hesperos]

Yeah?

[ He loves to fight. Excessively so--he's practically a blood knight, so, you know. ]

I'm surprised. I got the impression you liked to go around kicking ass and taking names.

[ Yuri... ]

[matchbreaker]

Oh please, please! I know my way around things and I can defend myself, but don't make that seem like I'm some brawler or anything. I am a lady.

[ She laughs at this, evil old lady style. ]

[hesperos]

Heh, alright.

[ There goes his image of brawler Elda! ]

[matchbreaker]

Good. But don't think I'm a slouch either.

[ She says this with her laugh... intensifying a little. ]

[hesperos]

You ever get a few people who think you are?

[ You know what they say about books and covers... ]

[matchbreaker]

Hopefully not! Do you?

[hesperos]

Oh yeah -- they've totally ended up regretting it, though.

[matchbreaker]

I meant underestimating me. Whoever thought less of one with such obvious muscles as your own really was foolhardy.

[hesperos]

Right.

But for the record, I don't think I've ever underestimated you, probably because even if someone's appearance is what it is, you never know if they can kick your ass or not. Might as well assume people are skilled until proven otherwise.
