WEEK 3

WEEK 3

[The week begins as last week began. But there's is a great difference-murder. It has happened. Blood has been drawn; it cannot be undone. The Game has made itself known. The Game is paramount. The Game simply is.

As morning dawns, those who were not present with the DEAD lock will find that the doors that were locked are now gone-and a whole new area has finally opened up to them. They will also find that they remember something they had not been able to recall beforehand. The question is, was it worth it?

And-is it you, or is the ship getting...colder as the hours go by? No, it's not just you. By the end of Sunday, the ship has started to dip into freezing temperatures. It might be difficult for people to bundle up-unless you're Brain, who will find his closet inundated with winter clothing that fit him perfectly.

Yup. This is going to be a long week, as if last week wasn't bad enough.

There are currently 16 strangers in this place.]

...

and don't have showers...

Alright, pardon me saying the s-word, maybe he takes a bath, then.

Or maybe he just bathes in blood like the biggest edgelord we've ever seen.

That's...I bet he has a pool of blood he uses, too! A whole pool!

And now I'm imagining Zero emerging from a bathtub of blood as a metal album cover and it sounds so cool...!

...Guys, you're making me hungry.

I'm sorry, I can't help it! Just...WHY!?

[...Uh. Did his accent just change a bit there?]

The lack of a proper shower bothers me too, but... hm. What was that accent?

[It almost sounded English? If so, he has questions about a certain thing he found in their room]

Huh?

Would you happen to be from the UK?

...oh. Oh!

I'm not, but my parents are. So, I kind of got the accent. But, since I live in America, I've been trying to blend in, you know?

Hm, I see. In that case...

[Kira holds up his palm where his handkerchief has been clutched. He was planning to bring it up at this meeting anyway, but now is as good a time as any.]

Would this have belonged to either of them?

[He unfolds the handkerchief, revealing the ripped Union Jack patch that is covered in dry blood.]

I hadn't thought this would be yours initially, but it was in our sock drawer.

[Blink. Blink blink.]

No. and it's definitely not mine. My dad likes his clothing clean, for one, and my mom wouldn't wear anything like that.

"Likes his clothing clean?" You say that like applying bloodstains to clothing is some sort of fashion trend.

You think there's some type of conspiracy around not letting us take a shower?

I suppose it could be to make matters difficult for a bloodied killer. It's just disgusting.

Yeah, but how much harder would it even be now that they can just dip themselves in the bath?

God damn it, maybe that's why this whole damn ship bleeds! The blood is in the fuckin' plumbing!

That's basically how the Qliphoth works. The tree has veins, like a one-way circulatory system.

One time my wife and the rest of our pack raided a Tremere chantry, 'cause once again, the warlocks love shit like this, right?

The regent had a mother fucking blood jacuzzi. Which is no fair, I want a blood jacuzzi, and you can't exactly just take it and run.

I almost feel bad we burned that place down.

I dunno, a blood jacuzzi sounds a little wasteful. Wouldn't it make the blood clot up and turn gross?

They had some wizard shit done to keep it from gumming up the works, which. Typical Tremere bullshit, really.

I guess that'd be possible, if you put in the effort. Still think I'd prefer it closer to human body temperature, though.

Actually it's not bad if you popsicle that shit, or like, one time we ran a guy through one of those slurpee machines.

Is it better than that refrigerated blood in the kitchen? That's just...disappointing.

Of course, the stuff they got here just isn't fresh.

Usually I just prefer getting it from the tap.
