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.]

[Alastor has gone pale, tail curled around his legs and wings pulled tight against his back. His eyes flicker...and then he slams his fist on the bar hard enough to shake the bottle.]

Was that...

[jinglebros]

Hey, calm down.

Was that what?

[superstylishsquid]

Another group of victims. I had a vision, with some sort of...school setting. There was the same stupid murder and trials scenario, and...if that really happened, then the powerful Devil Hunter I mentioned was already captured.

[jinglebros]

...well there goes one hope.

[superstylishsquid]

Unless that group is still going, but...yeah, best case scenario is that he's in the same boa-er, same situation as us. Brought down to mundane human level and trapped.

[His tail lashes hard enough to rattle the bottles behind him.]

And if so...he's the only person I know of who can go toe to toe with someone empowered by the Qliphoth, unless his father's still out there somewhere.

[jinglebros]

I mean, would he even have his powers leftover? If he's in the same situation as us?

[superstylishsquid]

Maybe if he got out, he'd find a way...but if he's in the same situation, he'd be as limited as we are.

I hope he at least managed to give Delta a migraine.

[jinglebros]

You think he's annoying enough to do that?

[pegasinister]

... so it wasn't just me then.

[HEY HUBERT ABOUT TIME YOU SHOWED UP]

I had a similar experience recently- Aoi can confirm it. Though it was not in a school. The other details line up regardless. Including Zero.

[superstylishsquid]

I saw Delta in mine, too. Where did yours seem to be?

[pegasinister]

A city. Someone there called it a 'city of love'? The name 'Paris' was in the memories I was in, but I can't be sure if that was what it was called.

[superstylishsquid]

Paris does have that reputation. It's...also a major human settlement, densely populated. Were...

Did you see anything that looked like dark gray statues of people? The color of ashes.

[pegasinister]

[He shakes his head]

The flashes of memory focused more on the people in the group. The locations were... blurry.

As was a certain man I am sure I know... but other than his eyes it is completely missing.

[godspiousjasper]

Pardon? Did you say Paris??

[ That got his attention quite aptly. ]

The city of Paris, France is where I call home and has been indeed called a City of Love by many.

[somuchshipping]

Can you tell me more about this city?

[Hermes...]

[pegasinister]

The city you are from? That very well may be a clue.

[exequte]

Oh.

...

Was there anything that might help us that you saw?

[superstylishsquid]

........Two X-passes. Triplet, and Rose. Don't the rules say we can use up to five from people not present on the ship?

[pegasinister]

Mine had "Cancer" and "Royal".

[exequte]

All right. I think... I think we should write down all the x-passes we've received so far and put that list somewhere public. That way the entire group would be able to have access to them.

[pegasinister]

Agreed. If we don't need to use our own...

Also: Akane... I am sorry I chastised you at the trial, but now I can explain that this was why. The vision I saw not only showed another group but... all of them dying because of a wrong vote.

[superstylishsquid]

So that gives us four from people who are already dead, for a total of six...still not enough, but I tested earlier and nothing bad happens if we just guess.

[exequte]

Seven.

[valkavian]

I think they do, not sure if Anya and the rest of our dead count as "not present" or not.

[superstylishsquid]

Probably not, considering passes are only given out after people die...unless the whole condition for freedom was a farce from the first.
