WEEK 1
[So, once Zero has said his peace, everything is quiet as the week dawns. A new Game. Nonary, Decision, Murder. All three. It doesn't matter. Everyone is here to kill or die. The coin has been tossed, the die is cast. The rules are set; the watches are active.
The question now is, why? Why is this happening? Why you? Surely no one is so desperate to kill on this ship, right? Not when the people onboard are so interesting and varied. Perhaps everyone can get along; perhaps there's a way off the ship without bloodshed. Of course, if there is, it might be be best to be prepared for a long stay-there's no doubt Zero won't make it that easy to escape. Then there's the matter that-apparently-people have new powers they did not possess before, while those the strangers once had are gone. Perhaps it's time to test those out and see what they can do
So, let's see what happens this week. Hopefully it will be a peaceful one.
There are currently 19 strangers on this ship.]

[He shrugs.]
I want to know the character of the man - therefore, I am defying him.
no subject
[Maybe the usual choice of words isn't the best right now...]
no subject
[At least he doesn't seem put off by it?]
I suppose I am a bit more...uncaring of the thought of death than most.
no subject
[Small miracles, it seems.]
Does this whole thing just make you not care as much, or is that just...normal feelings, for you?
no subject
[UH]
no subject
Do I just...attract people who should be dead and gone? Is it a me thing, or is this just a coincidence?
[HM]
no subject
[Okay, he didn't expect that. Explain, Anya??]
no subject
Would still be around, I still had the necklace.
no subject
I see...That must have been quite the surprise for you.
[He doesn't really know what else to say about this?? Uh]
I was a...sort of Ghost myself, though not one haunting a skeleton. More of...a spirit brought back for a certain purpose, from a place that stores the shades of people who have made their mark on the world in one way or another.
[That's one way to explain Servants and the Throne of Heroes to someone who knows jack shit about it, right?]
no subject
[She's...not sure she understands most of that, but she has ideas about it...]
So you were summoned for a specific thing, from a place that kept you and others that did something big with their lives, specifically the versions of you that did said things...
This is going to sound rude if I'm wrong, but if this you trying to explain you're a demon or from Hell without saying you're a demon or from Hell, I don't care, I'm already rooming with a demon, so long as you don't set anything on fire you're fine.
no subject
WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
[He is absolutely delighted, god bless.]
Hahahaha - hmmph, ha, no my dear, I am not a demon! Though that does sound about right, I was a human man who lived a mortal life before dying. I can be summoned as a familiar under certain circumstances, but that is where the similarities end.
no subject
[The laughter gets a smile.]
Still sounds a bit weird, but at this point I've been dealing with a LOT weirder, so I can believe it.
no subject
[Like, being a Heroic Servant is not in any way a consensual thing, at all.]
But I appreciate your frank honesty with this.
[Hm-]
Well, I ought to be moving on. Do keep yourself safe, Anya.
no subject
[If even the people apart of it find it weird, it's probably fine to think of it as weird.]
Hey, I try to tell the truth when I see it.
And...you too, Mr. Moriarty.
[She would call him by his first name, but...he's kind of got a teacher vibe to him. But the kind that's actually nice to be around, rather than annoying.]
