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.]

Comments

[exequte]

Huh? We've all lost memories, right? But... how can I share something I don't remember...?

[onychomance]

Forgive me, I was speaking to both of you. I thought it was interesting, since the two of you have a connection, that Zero would not synchronize what memories you lost to maintain whatever illusion he hopes to have us under.

[He's also not making comments on Aoi apparently keeping secrets from his sister in a situation like this. That this is unusual behavior goes without saying.]

[exequte]

Oh.

[Yeah, okay, that makes sense.

She shakes her head though.]

We, um.

We're... not from the same time, actually. I'm....

I don't understand how it works, but Aoi got taken from several years into the future, from my point of view, so maybe Zero--or Delta, rather--didn't think it was worth while? We're not the same physically as the last time we saw each other before coming here, after all.

So, while it is true that he knows some of the things I've forgotten, it's also true that he knows some things I haven't even learned yet. I'm not sure which category this falls into.

[onychomance]

I see. Are you concerned that learning things about your future will cause a paradox?

[exequte]

Yes. It seemed safest not to take those kinds of risks.

[onychomance]

That's no fun at all, you two. You could always share your information on the assumption that we will defeat Zero, and then wrest his means of memory alteration before you part ways to your points of origin.
