Week 5.

[trustmods]

WEEK 5 Two more are gone this week. Luna and Chie Hori have joined those who are present only in memory now, and their passing seems to have left a lot of emotions raw and exposed. But as usual, the group has at least a little bit of time to recover. Saturday can be dedicated to rest and sleep; on Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock. The stairwells are clear of bodies; there's no more death to be dealt with for the time being. Unless, of course, you happened to recover something particularly unfortunate in your dreams... Once again, there's a new floor to explore; your reward for doing your job well. And since you've survived for a month now, you are doing your job well. However, the new floor isn't the only thing that's changed; there are a few things about the building that seem a little...off. A few things that weren't there before might be, or a few things that should be there aren't; you'll just have to see what the week brings, won't you? That is, if you're not going to be investigating all the goings-on personally... PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 21

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ The complaint just gets a mild look from Jean. Come on, Bakugou, just look at yourself.

His explanation explains a lot, though. ] We've got gunpowder. I've heard they're pretty similar.

[ More importantly: ] You sweat that stuff? Doesn't that make summer kinda dangerous?

[blazeit]

That's like asking me if I piss myself in my sleep... I'm not a literal five year old, I can control my own quirk.

[ He sounds mildly miffed, but since we're already on the topic of Bakugou's weird bodily functions. And I guess that makes Midoriya the quirk-having equivalent of a bedwetter in Bakugou's eyes which is accurate at least ]

Besides, it doesn't go off unless it's sparked.

[openterrain]

I don't know how your gross gunpowder sweat works.

[ GIVE HIM A BREAK, KATSUKI. ]

Anyway, I wanted to ask... do you think you could make an explosion that's really bright instead of really destructive?

[blazeit]

It's not gross! And it's a hell of a lot more useful than your sweat!!

[ He probably makes so many dogs question themselves, though. ]

... Anyway, yeah, to some extent. It's still gonna be an explosion in the end, but I should be able to light a place up pretty good. It'd only be for a few moments at a time, though, I'm not like a human flashlight.

[openterrain]

I don't use my sweat as a weapon, either.

[ Anyway. ]

What about one of those household cleaner bombs? Could you do the same thing with one of those? There's something I wanna try during the next trial.

[blazeit]

Nah, I just kinda know the basics of those... like enough that I could probably slap some shit together and call it good enough, but it'd be messy, not much control. What do you wanna try, though?

[openterrain]

I wanna see if we can get a look at the Conductor's face. He must be hiding it for a reason, right?

[blazeit]

... Yeah, you're fresh out of luck there. Definitely something I could do with my quirk, not so much with a homebrewed bomb. You'd probably have more luck shining light off of something reflective.

[openterrain]

Damnit. [ So much for that. Just his luck, huh? ]

Guess we probably couldn't sneak a lantern in. I wonder if he'd buy it if we claimed it was evidence.

[blazeit]

You could probably try, but he'd know if it were evidence, since he... sees everything, apparently.

[openterrain]

[ Grumble mumble stupid omnipotent asshole. ]

Maybe we could gather a bunch of those cameras from the vending machine...? Those are small enough to hide under our clothes.

[blazeit]

Those only go off for a second at a time. [ He doesn't know how he feels about being that guy shooting down every idea, even if it's all true... ] He told me he's totally human, though, so I dunno if there's anything that interesting about his face.

[openterrain]

[ Jean won't ever admit it, but that's sort of exactly why he came to Bakugou. He needs someone that won't bullshit him. ]

It's not like I'm expecting some sort of huge secret or anything. I just wanna know what he's hiding.

[blazeit]

Have you tried asking? I dunno, he answers some seriously weird stuff completely normally, so it's worth a shot.

[ Bakugou asked the Conductor if he has daddy issues, for example.

.............. yeah, the less said on that the better. ]
