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.]

[How it's grosser than bananas, I don't know.
She's currently spreading the jelly on two slices of bread as she asks another question.]
Any shape you might want it in?
no subject
[Who cuts sandwiches into shapes??? He doesn't know.]
no subject
[Her brothers are weird.]
no subject
no subject
[And she proceeds to try to do so after combining the jelly side with the peanut butter. The head is big, and there's only three actual tentacles, but...it's something.
She holds it up for him to see while it's on a plate.]
Is that good?
no subject
Yeah! Thank you. ....Octopi are pretty cool.
no subject
[She pushes the plate his way as she starts making her sandwich heart shaped.]
So, I need to ask...are you doing okay?
no subject
Doing okay....you mean after the trial? [He'd been hit pretty hard - but so had she.]
no subject
[You were friends, but it was just kind of...surprising, really.]
no subject
Apparently the Karma-kun he knew was very fond of me, but... There must be something I'm missing, because it makes no sense otherwise. If...if that's part of the reason, then.... And if he's been somewhere like this before, then he'd be the most useful person to have around.
[That, and he'd been a tangle of emotions he's still trying to make sense of. A lot of things were running through his head...]
I'm alright, though. There are still things I can do.
no subject
I'm sorry. But...at least you can find out what happened now. With this egg challenge and everything.
By the way, how does the face look now?
no subject
There's more, too. He said...everyone who was where he was before, that their universes were in danger. And if Karma-kun was there....that includes mine.
[It's a mess. It's all a huge mess, and he isn't sure how he can do anything about it, but by hell is he going to try.]
Karma-kun and I used to be friends, but we...drifted apart. I can't really blame him for getting bored of me. If something happened to change that, then... I don't know.
[But he does! Have an egg! Tah-dah.]
no subject
And...that’s way you’re doing this, right? Messing with my egg. This way, you can figure out what happened to him to change his mind.
[And she’s letting out a small giggle at that egg.]
Nice jub, by the way.
no subject
And yeah, it is. This either counts as aiding you or sabotaging you. If I can figure out what I'm missing, then...maybe I'll understand the situation better. Since it's looking like my relationship with Karma-kun is more relevant than I thought.
[He just beams at the praise. It's frankly less silly than his own egg, currently sitting next to him in a black robe and teeny paper mortarboard.]
no subject
Well, which one gets you more points? I'll say it's that one.
no subject
[Vita. In particular. How is space an element you can make things out of???]
Sabotage does - ten points for drawing on your egg without permission.
no subject
[Since, you know, Dracula isn't real.]
Well...maybe the others from that group can help? Akira did say that more than just him and your friend got that far, didn't he? They might be able to help if your world is in danger.
Also, then I don't give you permission to write on the egg.
no subject
Maybe... I don't know. We just-- Everything's confusing, and too many pieces don't line up. If I remember the piece I know is missing, maybe it'll help.
...
Muahaha, I've gotten away with it. [He's so bad at villainy.]
