WEEK 2

[It is again early morning when the train docks next. This time, however, the dock is not as busy. There are few trains to be seen, and even fewer people. Only a man stands at the dock, teeth sharp in his smile, scelera a deep gold as he stares beneath his fedora.

"Unexpected," he said with a smile. A two-dimensional dog with the head of a scribbled black cloud hops by, ignoring him. "But not unwanted. Do make yourselves comfortable."

This new place is known as Victoria's Chasm, named after an Empress. No, not that one. Her Thrice-Renewed Majesty is quite comfortable on her Throne, and rulled for much longer than 99 days, thank you very much.

In the distance, black begins to erupt like tendrils. Lightning flashes through the clouds. This is the land of monsters; tread carefully. And do not despair, whatever you do.


There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

[Noted.]

...Ohhh, yes. Yes. His. I remember that.

He made an awful mess.

[otherworldlyking]

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw it.

[ Teasing him about it was kind of funny. ]

[higanbana]

It was rather silly. Especially on someone so serious.

Although, I find it strange... it didn't appear that he could control it, but I seem to have a decent amount of control over mine. I wonder what the reason for the difference is.

[otherworldlyking]

Maybe he just wasn't concentrating hard enough.

[higanbana]

Perhaps... but then, one has to wonder, if that were the case, what would happen if he did.

...Bouquets?

[otherworldlyking]

Maybe. Or a garden.

[ Anything's possible, right?

He'll be giving a yawn either way. ]

...I've spent enough time in here, see you later.

[ He's just going to go back to his room and be a lazy bum. ]

[higanbana]

[...How capricious.]

Mm, all right. I'll see you around.

[And back to studying for her!]
