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

[ In his short time here, Jean's gotten very used to processing absolutely foreign ideas and thinking of them in ways that make sense to him. Sewing machines, refrigerators, cars, trains - they're all totally unfamiliar to him but he's figured out how to get them and their purpose anyway.

Even after Logan's explanation and a look at the book, however, this one is lost on him. ]

There's nothing at all like this where I come from. It seems more like making up a story than playing a game.

[decrees]

It is, actually. You have to work together to complete the quest. It's a very interesting concept and one I've always been fond of.

[...your world is better off without it, jean]

It can be overwhelming at first, but it's certainly worth trying.

[openterrain]

[ It's pretty weird, Jean thinks, but he can't deny that he's curious. He drops into the seat across from Logan. ]

Can just two people play?

[decrees]

Unfortunately, it is best played with a group. Four or five players are ideal, though I suppose it would be possible to have more.

[Trying to play with everyone here might be a bit much...]

[openterrain]

[ Ah well. Maybe some other day. ]

Kinda weird for him to give us games like this when he's trying to make us kill each other.

[decrees]

...Perhaps these were something that was already in the school and he saw no need to remove them.

[Or maybe there's more to that "trust exercise" nonsense. It's not something worth thinking about, at any rate.]

[openterrain]

I dunno... He doesn't seem that short-sighted. [ Jean picks up one of the books. ] I mean, it's easy enough to get close to someone just from playing cards or checkers with them. With something as involved as this...

[ Jean's kinda starting to feel like they aren't just being fucked with or catered to for no reason. ]

[decrees]

...That is a good point. It isn't likely that a game like this could result in a murder, not with so many people involved.

[openterrain]

Yeah... I know fights can break out over dice and stuff, but if you're all working together that doesn't seem as likely.

[ ... Maybe he should avoid playing dice with anyone in the group. ]

I've never played, though. What do you think?

[decrees]

Tempers can certainly flare, but with a group of five or more people, I doubt that will be any real concern.

[Not unless we've got at least two murderers involved, but that just sounds messy.]
