Week 9.
With another death to the timer and another double murder - accidental though that last part may have been - your numbers have been cut even further. Hibiki Ganaha, Sayaka Maizono, Alex, and Kyrie Ushiromiya are all dead, bringing those left alive from twelve down to eight. It's almost hard to believe this started with thirty-five people. There are so few of you 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... It seems that the pattern from last week is holding; there is no new floor to occupy yourselves with. It doesn't seem much else has changed, either - leading to questions that are uncomfortable but must be confronted. Namely, where do you go from here? Is there anything you can do? |

[OOC: Welcome to week nine 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!]

[ It really has. Something something about murdergames helping people get to know each other really well -- but no, really, that is what happened anyway. If there was anything Yuri's glad came out of this set up, it'd be that.
...Clearly Yuri is just about ready to Go though, as a smirk is right on his face because here they are in a completely competitive mood. Psyching each other up helps, naturally. ]
That sounds like a deal, and at least with five it won't be over in under a minute. And now that we've settled on the conditions of the game, I could go first, unless you've been wanting to start us off.
[ Yuri will go to grab a dart anyway. ]
no subject
[Well, Rideaux is definitely not pulling any punches with his trash talk. He really is curious to see how Yuri does with his aim when he's completely focused though, so he'll be keeping a close eye as Yuri makes his throw.]
no subject
[ Goodness, here they go.
Yuri's going to be throwing the dart straight ahead with a focused expression. He as sure as hell is determined to win this -- and thwack, it makes it's landing. For all intents and purposes, it's not a bad throw, though it is evidently not a throw by someone who has excellent accuracy with these small items. It's relatively close by the bullseye, but let us say not exactly right next to it -- it's hit on the inside of the second ring (you know the one that's probably like the one here), but just a little below said ring. ]
Look at that, it wasn't crappy at all. Now it's your turn.
no subject
So you're not an amateur, yourself. Most beginners have trouble getting their darts to even stick, you know.
[He turns to his own board now. After a pause of concentration, he sends his dart hurtling at the board. His posture and throw indicate he really has been doing this for a long time. But it's the results that truly matter in the end, and with a thwack, the dart winds up within that green circle just outside the bullseye. Not quite perfect, but it works.]
You had better hope that you only get closer from here on.
no subject
[ Damn though when Rideaux makes his own toss, that is hard to follow up on, but like hell he's going to back down. There's no way he's going to let the guy leave him in the dust and those words fire him up enough that he skips past the focus stage and straight into throwing. Granted he probably should've been less impatient.
The second dart hits a little closer than his last one but not as close as Rideaux's. ]
...Still closer than the last one.
no subject
But not close enough.
[Thwack. The next dart hits the bullseye this time.
...there is a good chance that Rideaux is doing his best to continue riling Yuri up here. And he's definitely not going to hold back with his tosses, so Yuri's in for quite the challenge.]
no subject
Let's see how long that lasts, buddy.
[ Apparently so. Well, Yuri certainly isn't perfect.
But, since his two attempts still haven't exactly put him any closer, he is just squinting at the darts that are currently in right now. He wasn't necessarily holding back either but now he's going to be immensely more aggressive and focused with his efforts.
The third one hits closer to the bullseye this time -- just about right behind Rideaux's first throw. He's still going to need to do better than that, though. ]
no subject
That is better!
[...and now's about the perfect time for his overconfidence to catch up to him. His third throw lands a decent distance outside the green ring, giving Yuri an opening to catch up.
And while Rideaux doesn't say anything, because he is predictably eating his words at the moment, he does make a distressed noise short of hissing, "Shit."]
no subject
[ At the slow clap there anyway.
Yuri, of course, will snort and give a slow clap of his own at that splendid show of performance there. Nothing like pride to save the day (for him, anyway.)
Jokes aside, that means he can't exactly mess it up. This time he gives it a proper amount of focus and then he tosses it right in --
Thwack. Would you look at that, his next one happens to land straight into the bullseye. ]
no subject
With continued silence, he doesn't hesitate in making the next throw. This one is just outside the green ring. Not too bad, but it's not good enough for what he wants.
One throw left after this, and he'll need to make it count.]
no subject
[ Yuri's going to make it count as well, this is why he's going to be taking a bit for his throw, since this one is undoubtedly going to be his last. Somehow a simple throwing game became so intense...honestly, that is not all too surprising considering the two involved. After a bit of pause, he'll make his throw.
Then, it hits.
The verdict?
Just a little more literally and it would've been another bullseye, but it lands one bit out outside of the red and is by a hair's breath on the green. So, like, thanks to that there is probably less tension now (who are we kidding) ]
no subject
Yuri's final throw does nothing to lessen the tension though. If anything, it only makes it rise to an all-time high. Rideaux is furiously concentrating at this point, and anything Yuri might say in this moment will be completely tuned out.
After what seems like an eternity, he throws.
The final dart joins the second in the bullseye.
Rideaux had been watching closely after throwing, and once he sees where the dart landed, he just sighs. It's one of relief, and the sigh helps him finally let the tension out of his shoulders. That...certainly happened.]
no subject
He thinks about saying something, but decides he can't (or rather, wont) until the last one is thrown.
Annnnd there it is.
Despite everything, Yuri will clap. ]
Heh, looks like you beat me fair and square. But I bet you didn't expect me to give you quite a hard time in a game like this, huh?
no subject
Not at all. I'll admit that I underestimated you. I really did not expect it to end up as close at it was.
[...]
I've never had to put so much into a game of darts before, so you should consider it a victory for yourself too.
no subject
[ He's smiling a little. ]
Anyway, I guess I will. The game was pretty fun too.
