Week 2

WEEK 2

[It's been one week on the Gigantic
and it's clear that Zero
is a big dickzzzzzsht



A week has passed. However, there is no denying anymore that the power Zero possesses is very real. One person is already dead because of this, regardless of what, exactly, the Gimme's role in it was.

There is also no denying that the ship is somehow powered by blood, if not made of blood entirely. Why? How? And what do the clues uncovered in the previous week have to do with it?

The watches, meanwhile have not changed in any way. Everyone is still in their color groups. The doors to the next floor are still locked as well. Perhaps those are also murder dependent. Which is...also not good. But at least there's food and laundry down here, so...maybe it'll get boring eventually, but for now, infinite confinement on the bottom decks of the ship may not be so bad. right?

...Right?



There are currently 18 strangers on this ship.]

Have you seen how many thirst for blood on this ship? Is it so hard to believe that such a being would be a child?

[She's gathering up some rice and sticking it around the doll's neck. Like a rosary.]

I'm sorry... Roland-kun.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

HUH!? Roland!?

[threwabone]

BECAUSE IT'S MESSED UP AND YOU SUGGESTING IT'S HIM MAKES IT EVEN WORSE!?!

[THE ONE PERSON SHE WOULDN'T EXPECT THAT FROM, WHAT THE HELL]

[yesorwoof]

If he and his comrade encountered a vampire child I believe he might have to make a difficult decision that would weigh on him for the rest of his life.

[valkavian]

Butting in here, most vampire kids don't last a week. There's a fuckin' reason we don't usually embrace kids.

[ it is less to do with morals and more WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ]

[threwabone]

I...can't believe...I'm hoping the person who works with religion hurt a kid...

[THIS IS SO MESSED UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP]

[strangerpeople]

[ 'I failed to save a child from them.' ]

CW for vague brief CSA mention

[valkavian]

I'm not even gonna try to be funny here, princess, that joke sucks and we've all heard it before.

All I can say is, he's a hunter, I wouldn't put it past him.

[yesorwoof]

At least then there's some common ground. Hopefully you and Roland can see eye to eye on that much...

Small>[She waves her hand in the direction of the doll. Val take a turn getting points.]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...But...a child...

[Why is everything so messed up]

[strangerpeople]

[ The doll whispers, only for Makima to hear: 'yes.' ]

[yesorwoof]

The doll has an answer. Well? Would you all like to know?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...

Is it Roland, then?

[yesorwoof]

[She hands Zack the doll ominously]

[strangerpeople]

[ The doll says nothing.

It will only tell those who guess correctly. ]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

[...To the doll.]

Are...you Roland?

[strangerpeople]

['Yes.']

[valkavian]

Is it Roland, oh god.

[strangerpeople]

['Yes...sadly...yes.']

[valkavian]

Yeah, I'm sure you were the victim here, buddy.

[voidseeing]

... so that's what he meant when he told me death and murder was a regular occurrence in his line of work.

[He... sounds probably less shocked about this than he should be, honestly.]

[yesorwoof]

He'd spoken to me about his burden as well. I wish it hadn't gone quite like this...

[At least Gai's not panicking but so many people here is a party.]

[voidseeing]

It's not the worst secret that could have come out like this. Given the nature of what he does, I would have suspected it had something to do with that.

[THIS WHOLE CAST, THOUGH.]

[yesorwoof]

[JUST MOVING ON, EVEN]

Our secrets coming out like this... It's a bit strange now that you bring it up. Though we seem not to have proven any such personalities in our group, I can imagine someone killing over this more easily than a cheeseburger.

[voidseeing]

Maybe that's the point. Offer up a reward that no one would be willing to kill for, then reveal secrets that some of us don't want known to give us a real reason to kill.
