Week 4.

[trustmods]

WEEK 4 Ashley Williams and Asuka Langley Shikinami have joined the ranks of the deceased. Two more deaths, two more people whose absences will be felt by the group; a bit over one-fifth of the Participants are dead. And this week, it seems everyone is feeling it. They say three times can be considered a routine, and the fourth week of the exercise isn't breaking pattern any. Saturday can be given to rest and sleep; on Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock. There are no more bodies, no more bloodstains; there's nothing else to be found this morning. Unless, of course, you count whatever you found last night, strange dreams or otherwise. Once again, there's a new floor to explore; after everything that trial decided to be yesterday, you deserve the reward. And for the second time, there are rule changes, effective immediately. You might want to take note of them. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 23

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

That-- [Her face turns red.] Perhaps I just want to! Why, what would you rather be making?

[withabigsmile]

Exactly what I said! something fresher, of course!

It isn't hard at all to make soup. Would you like me to show you?

[She's teasing like hell, but she is willing to help.]

[announcemyvictory]

...fine, I suppose I haven't got anything else to do. How would you make it?

[withabigsmile]

[Well, first things first, let's get some water in a pot and let that start to boil. It needs a bit of salt, too.]

There are all kinds of soups! What ingredients do you like best? Do you want something meaty? Or maybe potato soup!

[Regardless, she's rummaging around for ingredients.]

Wouldn't it be fun to do a hot pot? We could get everyone together and enjoy a nice warm meal!

[announcemyvictory]

Just not fish. We've got far too much of that.

You really think everyone would go for that at a time like this?

[withabigsmile]

[Chicken! Rotini! Carrots, scallions, and a little cilantro! Man this is starting to look good. And it smells good too...]

Isn't a time like this the most important time to try to stick together?

[announcemyvictory]

You're right, of course, but more people will remember that it's dangerous to trust anybody in here.

[withabigsmile]

It can't be helped, right?

[This situation lends itself better to trusting only yourself.]

But living like that is really lonely. It's much better to sit together and enjoy a meal than to eat alone.

[announcemyvictory]

I suppose you're right. ...I want to go back to Oak Tree Town. There, you never had to worry whether someone was being genuine when they wanted to be your friend. No one was getting killed.

[withabigsmile]

I don't think I can say the same. People are a little more complex than that where I'm from. Most people are good natured, but you never know where that's gonna lead them!

[Lance.]

What's Oak Tree Town like? Is it a nice place?

[Is it some little town in Johto or something?]

[announcemyvictory]

Is that why you're trying to get on everybody's good side, then? It's a nice thought, but...

Ah, yes, it's very different from the city I grew up in. Everybody seems to know everybody else, and most of them live in such small houses! The weather is nice, generally, and I've got plenty of land to grow on.

[withabigsmile]

[...Hearing about her town is nice, but there's a big accusation being thrown in her face, and that's...]

Do you really think I'm trying to get on everybody's good side?

[Her tone isn't accusatory, but. That sure is a question, isn't it.]

[announcemyvictory]

Isn't that what everyone would do? [blink blink]

[withabigsmile]

I don't really know, actually! I mean, I'm not trying to make enemies or anything, but so far I've gotten by from being myself.

[I mean damn no one seemed to mind the Ditty bra, so-]
