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.]

So you value proving a point over your life.

[he doesn't sound judging just...curious]

[yesorwoof]

It's not that simple.

[Her fingertip toys with the tip of her very sharp blade, somehow not cutting herself. Looking down at it.]

If even a single one of us is to survive this madness, let alone the entire group, there must be some kind of limit, at least one rule we can understand.

Or would we really go around filling our cups with one another's fingers as long as Zero asked us to?

[She's looking up at him thoughtfully again.]

[lovedthemost]

...no, of course not.

[there was a slight hesitation there, but he seems to be agreeing.]

[yesorwoof]

[Makima quirks her eyebrows a little bit. She's very obviously thinking "Brain-kun, you seem so motivated by fear that I worry you might do something, even though you do not want to do it in your heart of hearts as a good boy". Well, maybe there's only so much that one quirk of the eyebrows can say.]

Exactly.

If he does seriously hurt me, even nonlethally, then I will have to be careful if he makes a lethal threat in the future. I won't throw away my life so easily.

[Boy that quirk of the eyebrow sure is getting interpreted as something. Whether it's what she meant or not is another question]

I see. [he pushes his glasses up on his nose] So if you are in pain or seriously hurt, it is fine. However, if it would kill you, it is not.

[still non-judgemental, and just asking. Like he's seeking to clarify something]
