WEEK 3

[As Marie said: so much for trust and resolve. Two people are dead, and there is very little anyone can do about it now, no matter how much they would have wanted to sacrifice themselves.

In particular, with Marie's words during the trial, it's clear that time is limited. Or is it? Marie is also capable of omitting the truth when it serves her needs, especially when it comes towards the Strangers and their still-missing memories. In any case, one can only hope they don't fall for her tricks again, even though getting away with murder would - apparently - save at least one life.

There is something else, as well. When everyone wakes up the morning, they will find that information on their wristwatches has been updated to reflect their new number - and something new about their powers. Not only that, but a new floor has opened up above Floor 1 for everyone to explore. Maybe more can be found on just what, exactly, is going on.

Is Marie telling the truth? Is the universe really ending? Or is it just another means of getting what she wants? Whatever is happening, people will need to be more careful around her - and one another. Who knows what Marie will offer next - or what your roommate or new friend is now capable of as a result. Especially since it's now known, thanks to Marie's actions during the trial, that everyone has definitely lost some memories. And unfortunately, no one seems to have regained any of them so far - or if anyone has, they haven't said a word.

If trust and resolve was ever needed, it feels like now is the time to try and find all that.

There are thirteen people in this place.]

"The guy who makes the first move loses the fight", huh? Sound enough tactics, if we could keep her from calling in Tik-Tok and friends somehow....

[He rests his elbows on the table and his chin on top of his folded hands, visibly trying to think.]

Think it's radio she's controlling them with, or something else? Can't be magic, everything here seems to be built from some kind of science, even if it's something that barely makes sense.

[toushiro]

Maybe radio, but we shouldn't discount the possibility of magic, either. I've had my abilities swapped out for something entirely new, and I can't think of a way that science could have performed such a feat.

[backuphero]

If they can combine the two, it could be both. That'd explain why some of us have powers who didn't, and whatever it is they did to you and everybody else who did...

[He slumps forwards onto the table, and groans.]

Why the heck did you guys have to end up with me, I don't know anything about any of this stuff!

[toushiro]

Calm down. Frustration isn't going to help with moving the discussion forward.

[ hitsu...please.... ]

A combination of both sounds plausible. I agree that science is responsible for a lot of the things going on here, but I wouldn't doubt that magic or some kind of advanced technology we haven't seen yet would be responsible for us having the abilities we do now.

[backuphero]

[He looks up at Hitsugaya, still resting heavily on the table, a childish frustrated pout on his face.]

I know I probably haven't looked everywhere, but there's no signs of an alchemy lab or a magician's library anywhere here. But it's different in every world, isn't it? Given everything else that's different....

[Well, at least a depressed frown is a more age-appropriate expression.]

[toushiro]

It is. And just because there aren't any overt labs doesn't mean that there isn't anything with magical properties going on behind the scenes. Maybe look through one of the discs in the computer lab to see if there are any other documents that we've yet to find.

[backuphero]

The ones people have looked through are... we're separating them out, right?
