WEEK 1

[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.

...Right?

In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?


Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.


There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[ Once everyone is settled in, C is here, albeit he looks... a bit shy. Too many people. ]

... We should probably discuss what to do about what was listed in those rules, and the commander, I think. It's a significant problem that, if she is telling the truth, the only way we can get out is apparently murder.

[earietale]

I...think it's safe to say that she was being honest. That room full of weapons is just worrying otherwise.

[She doesn't like it, but she can't deny what's right in front of her.]

[losergod]

... I think so too. The weapons are a little too real.

[ He looks down. ]

Even if someone was hurt, we'd be expected to catch them, wouldn't we? So how would they get out? What's the point of it all?

[earietale]

I have no idea.

[She leans onto the table, her head in her hands.]

The entire situation is just crazy, and it doesn't help that the lady keeping us here acts like an annoying little kid. It feels more like a weird dream than anything else.

[beguiledcard]

Like a kid who was just handed an adult's job...

[ It's said as though this is the wording he's been searching for all this time....... ]

[beguiledcard]

[ Akira looks very uncomfortable. ]

Yeah... [ a deep breath ] There was no motive yesterday, so I'm not sure what to think, just yet.

[losergod]

Motive? You mean an incentive?

[ He looks deeply concerned. Akira, explain. ]

[beguiledcard]

[ About that... ]

[stealsyourduelist]

You were expecting something yesterday? Explain.

[beguiledcard]

[ And explain, he does. ]

I am so very late, augh.

[backuphero]

You sound like you know what's going on here.

it's okay friend!

[beguiledcard]

[ He nods before explaining. ]

[crouching_sin]

'What to do'? We know what she wants from us. Whether she'll give us what we're seeking remains to be seen.

So unless you have a plan for attacking her...

[losergod]

... With no power of my own, and with PE not exactly being my best subject... I sincerely doubt attacking her is going to work.

[crouching_sin]

She's listening now, she knows what we're saying. Any plan we have is going to require finding a way around that. Which she knows.

[losergod]

I would really simply like to return to my Heavenly Host, myself. Being trapped in this body is terribly inconvenient. And I don't think the idea of attacking her is an angle that would facilitate that faster, nor would it help get anyone else out...

[ He is very worried. ]

[crouching_sin]

Careful saying something like that, people might take it as an invitation to kill you.

[losergod]

... I don't think I would mind. If it returned me to my rightful place in my Heavenly Domain, it wouldn't be so bad. The problem is, someone would get put on trial for it. And that's inconvenient for everyone. They'd also have to get away with it...

[ He sounds... largely okay with this. ]

[fashionfever]

No! You can't let her mess with your head like that! Killing someone isn't what helps you get out. That's just what she wants you to think. The murder supposedly makes her decide to let you get out on the next transit thingy. All we have to do is figure out a way to sneak onto that!

[losergod]

... Do you really think it'll be that easy?

[fashionfever]

I didn't say escaping is easy. But it's the one thing we really gotta do! We can't buy into any "murder will help us" stuff!

[losergod]

In matters of man, often the only solution is violence.

[ He says this with a knowing smile. ]

[fashionfever]

Often? Are you serious? Look, thinking it's the only solution here is one thing - and wrong - but, look, I leave my credit hard at home and can't buy donuts, the solution ain't violence.

[tiefleaf]

[ Molly ponders this a moment, then has an idea. ]

Any chance one of us might be able to fake our death?

[fashionfever]

Well, then there'd be this "trial", right? And someone would be given the chair. That's no good.
