WEEK 2

WEEK 2

[As one week changes to the next, the Titled will find themselves having vivid dreams. Very vivid. Perhaps too real to only be dreams. Lost memories? Could it be, then, that those who brought you here did something to your minds along with your bodies?

Whatever the case, everyone, no matter how deep their sleep, are awoken to the sound of creaking, groaning metal coming from the first floor. When they do go to investigate, they will find something surprising.

The set of the doors on the right have opened.

Even the Intercessor seems stunned. It has been an odd weekend for everyone. After all, in between finding items seemingly popping out of mid air, and a bloodied statue that belongs to seemingly no one, its all very...strange.

Somehow, one gets the feeling that those strange items won't be the last they see. Indeed, after the doors open, there's the worrying, foreboding feeling coming back once more. And if those feelings are connected to the strange occurrence on Saturday...it can only mean one thing.

There's really only one way to find out if that's the case. The powers that brought you here certainly aren't going to give anyone a straight answer.

So, Titled: welcome to Week 2.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]


((OoC: Welcome to Week 2! Remember to do your memory regains and your activity check!))

Oh. So you're like a dad, then. [A dad that doesn't have kids! Or something.]

If I was your kid, I'd be ashamed of seeing you holing up in a tree.

[defriendestration]

I'M NOT A DAD! I'M PAPYRUS!!

[Obviously]

YEAH, BUT YOU'RE HUMAN! NOT A MONSTER! H-HOW DO I KNOW YOU...YOU KNOW...!

[zephyranthe]

That's why I said 'like a dad'.

[Even if that makes him nothing like a dad at all, but details. And assuming his train of thought doesn't derail into something completely out there, she's pretty sure knows what he means? Not that she gets why he should be afraid of her if he's a monster...]

It'd be too much effort. I bet you'd scream into my ear the whole time, too.

[defriendestration]

I'M NOT SCREAMING! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

[zephyranthe]

I'm talking about what'd happen if someone tried to attack you. You look like a screamer to me.

[Unless she's pegged him wrong this whole time?? Who knows.]

[defriendestration]

WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M UP HERE! THAT AND...

LOOK, IF SOMEONE'S GOING TO REALLY HURT ME I WANT TO AT LEAST KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA SAY BEFORE I COME BACK DOWN, RIGHT??

[zephyranthe]

I guess. But if you really wanted to hide, your room would probably be better. A lot of us can climb pretty fast, anyways.

[defriendestration]

.......

BUT THEN THAT MEANS I HAVE TO CLIMB DOWN!!

[zephyranthe]

If you're stuck, someone can probably help.

[Because that's obviously what he means, right...]

[defriendestration]

I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM NOT STUCK!

I AM ALSO NOT STILL SLIGHTLY TERRIFIED OF YOU, HUMAN. NOT AT ALL!

[zephyranthe]

Okay, but if you're stuck up there, then you'll never be able to get back to your room.

Or eat.

[Wait, does he need food...?]

[defriendestration]

........

..............................

......................................


NYEH! YOU MAKE TOO MANY GOOD POINTS!! I MUST FACE YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!

.....

JUST GIVE ME TWO MINUTES.

[zephyranthe]

'Kay.

[So she literally just stands there silently for a bit.]

...

Okay, time's up.

[It probably wasn't actually two minutes but eh, whatever.]

[1/2]

[defriendestration]

................

[defriendestration]

[It takes him a bit but he does finally come down. He straightens himself, and clears his throat. How he does it despite no obvious vocal cords is...not important.]

NYEH-HEH-HEH! HUMAN!

I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM READY TO SPARE YOU, THEN, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO ME! I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU, NO MATTER WHAT!!

AND KNOW...KNOW THAT I ALWAYS WILL!

[zephyranthe]

[Well, it's good to know he won't be in a tree for the rest of his stay here?? Although he's being kind of overdramatic about this, huh.]

Thanks. I'll believe in you too.

[It's not like she thinks he's capable of getting a one-up on anyone here anyways??]

[defriendestration]

OF COURSE!

...




...............................


I WILL ADMIT I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU TO SPARE ME AS WELL.

[zephyranthe]

Why wouldn't I? I don't attack unless someone attacks me first.

[1/2]

[defriendestration]

...

...........................YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO...

[2/2]

[defriendestration]

YOU MEAN I WAS WORRIED FOR NOTHING!?

[zephyranthe]

[Well, let her be blunt about this:]

Pretty much. I think you could say the same about a lot of the others here, too.

[defriendestration]

AAAAAAAAAH! WOWIE DID IT DO A DUMB!




I STILL MEAN WHAT I SAID, THOUGH, I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU!! BUT STILL!!

[zephyranthe]

Yup. You did a dumb.

[Well he asked, right!!]

Why'd you think everyone was gonna hurt you though?

[Like, it might not be totally unfounded of a concern, but it's like he expected everyone to grab pitchforks and start in on him??]

[defriendestration]

WELL I...YOU'RE HUMAN! AND I'M A MONSTER! RIGHT?

AND BACK HOME HUMANS...UM...

[zephyranthe]

[...Well, it makes sense. But he seems pretty harmless, so... it's pretty different to her.]

I've killed monsters at home too, but they tried to kill me first. And they never talked, so that makes you pretty different.
