WEE͠K ̸́4͝
Within days dozens are confirmed infected, and you and your unexpected new scientist friend find yourselves trying to work on a cure. If not a cure, a stopgap of some kind. Anything to prevent this thing from destroying everything. It's hard work. It's not going very well. Really, it feels like with every step forward, you're taking ten steps back. Discouraging is an understatement, to say the least.
A week passes, and the death toll rises. It's really starting to look bleak. You constantly second-guess yourself, and even get into a fistfight with your new ally one night. It's getting to the point where you are working on fumes.
Then, unexpectedly, you get a phone call. It's been a long night, and the sun is beginning to rise above the mountains, when it happens.
You and the scientist are not the only ones looking for a cure. In fact, there are at least a dozen others-and they think they may be close to a breakthrough.
But-and you can't believe you're hearing this, after all of the failure you'd experienced throughout this blight-they need your help.]
[To say that the end of last week sucked would be an understatement. To say that no one knows what this week will bring is not even in question. Yet even as you wake, you feel a cloud lift from your mind, as one of the truths you've been living with since the beginning has suddenly changed.]
[But is it possible to abide by this new truth? The Hosts, and IT beyond, seem intent on making that impossible. And the rat...well. Obviously the rat's not an ally. Let's not kid ourselves.
There's only one way to find out if more deaths can truly be prevented-and that's to keep going, and hoping that the new floor that has opened up will offer something in the way of an opportunity.
In the meantime.
There are 11 strangers left in this place.]

Oh... more electronics. But these are way different from Inaba’s laptop...
[She’ll press a few buttons. The noises startle her a bit. She has No Idea what she’s doing. Once she figures out what she can do with them though, expect competition because she’s going to go all out on these things.]
[Next stop is the swimming pool. Now this is something she can appreciate.]
Woah!! Nice! I could go for a swim right about now. I wonder if anyone would race me...?
[Boundless energy as always. Either way, she’s ready to do some swimming.]
swimming pool;
[ McBurn just sort of wandered into here, it's fine.
It's just something to do and slightly alleviate his boredom, though swim races weren't something he had an iota of interest in. ]
no subject
[Can't say she's surprised, even if she is kind of disappointed. This guy looks like he could be good if he put some effort in.
But fine. You don't wanna swim? That means she can splash in and, while casually swimming on her back.]
--oh. By the way... King told me about Towa.
[Just so you know she knows, buddy ole pal.]
no subject
At her comment, though...he didn't react much but that was to be expected. ]
Maybe should start calling you Busybody instead.
[ He'll yawn. He didn't understand why protags were like this sometimes, smh. ]
no subject
[She actually hadn't tried that time, promise.]
...but she sounds super cute-- I never would have guessed that was your type.
[Or that you had a type at all but Hey.]
no subject
Until Estelle happened. ]
Never knew you were into Joshua, by the way.
[ That was a lazy attempt to switch this back onto her. ]
no subject
...on probably anyone but Estelle, who's sputtering like she's drowning. Only without the drowning.]
W-well you never asked-- besides! This isn't about me!!
[Did you only just now realize you got played Estelle?
Yes? Okay.]
no subject
Time to keep rolling with it...! ]
Consider me asking right now, then.
Pool
Not sure I’d do so well in a race, but I’d be up for a swim if you don’t mind the wet dog smell.
[He’s not usually a swimmer, but hey! Could be fun.]
no subject
[Swimming is way better with company anyway, and King is good company.]
no subject
[Since he's still pretty sure they wouldn't like his, ah..."usual attire." He also needs to take off the scarf and bandana he's wearing.]
no subject
[Time to jump in and go through a lap or two, just enough to warm up her swimming muscles.]
no subject
Okay, this was the only one I could find in my size.
[Curse you swimming anime man]
no subject
no subject
[Thank goodness he’s not stuck in a speedo or something.]
Ready to see the biggest splash from a cannon ball in your life?
[He’s sarcastic, but the friendly, more funny kind.]
Arcade
Oh, you're definitely going down Keith! Your score isn't that good.
[Maybe Vita is a good person ask how to play these.]
no subject
Well, why not cheer her on. Estelle is feeling a little pumped up from watching.]
Woah... All right! Kick his butt!
[Sorry Keith, she doesn't even know you, it's not personal.]
no subject
Definitely trying to. Back at the base we'd get a special item if we could beat his score.
[And unfortunately Vita makes a totally dumb mistake and gets a game over screen. Her score is enough to get second place, but not the win.]
no subject
[That explains why she got so good at it. Estelle would have tried to do the same thing.]
