WEEK 1

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 if you're not Kira.

So, let's see what happens this week. Hopefully it will be a peaceful one.

There are currently 19 strangers on this ship.]

cw: allusions to drugs

[pegasinister]

[Hubert is here, but he doesn't seem to have anything to add to the investigations. Instead he's busying around those that were dealt punishment yesterday- especially those that accepted his off for 'treatment'. Both of the narcotics kind and just general wound care. Just making sure all those wounds did in fact heal. Doing simple reaction tests and questions over lingering pain... and asking if they have any source-less itching.

Look, he'd rather not accidentally have given someone a monkey. If he was going to do that he'd rather it be intentional]

Hm... it really is a riddle. Something great but you only know too late...

General drug talk in this thread probably

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[God fucking bless you Hubert, you're half the reason he can even be here in the first place.]

Yes - there are...a few things it could potentially be, but it's a bit...vague at present.

[Falling silent because fuck his old man body when are his lungs and throat going to heal already!!]

[pegasinister]

It seems there is context we are still missing, as you said it's all we can do at the present.

...at the present...

[He mumbles to himself, brow furrowed with thought. He's never been good at these kinds of games]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Is there...something that occurs to you?

[He caught that mumble, sir!!]

[pegasinister]

Perhaps. Zack mentioned "time" as a possible answer to the riddle and I suspect that may be close to it.

Maybe "the past?" Regardless it was given to you and applied to the group. "Us" is stated outright. It must be something he have in common- perhaps the very reason we are here.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

The Past...

[That's....actually quite plausible.]

Yes, I do...think that is a...good starting point, if...nothing else. Perhaps as things...go on, we will...find other things that could...allude to that.

[pegasinister]

A place to start. But for now as your temporary doctor I suggest less pondering and more rest. You seem winded.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Just. Gives Hubert A Look.]

My, I couldn't....have guessed that...myself.

[HE HAS CUTS IN HIS LUNGS AND HEART, OF COURSE HE'S WINDED]

Someone...had to make...the meeting, since...not many others...seemed inclined.

[pegasinister]

Your sarcasm is noted and appreciated.

[b3]

It would have happened eventually. I was considering it myself if not.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Stop looking like a satisfied cat when he sasses you!!]

Hmph. Then you....can do...the next one.
