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.]

I see.

Is there anyway to extract souls that have been absorbed?

[superstylishsquid]

Technically, but it's not exactly something I can do while the soul's user is actively resisting.

You thinking we might need to make use of that time magic ourselves to get back where we want to be?

[lovedthemost]

It's certainly possible. Also whatever magic might have been used to bring us here.

[superstylishsquid]

That might actually be the easier of the two. It's not my main specialty, but I have something of a knack for manipulating space. If I have some way to find the right worlds, I could probably get to them once my magic is back up and running.

[lovedthemost]

So if we can discover how to restore your magic--and our normal abilities in general--we could escape.

[superstylishsquid]

Yeah. With my magic intact, I can teleport anywhere I can visualize unless it's in a world that's actively cut off from where I am. We'd already be out of here if that was still working.

[lovedthemost]

In that case, we should make that a priority.

[superstylishsquid]

We'll have a better chance against Delta if we manage that, anyway. If he really is a devil now, he's going to be tougher than a typical human...we'll want everyone with superhuman abilities of their own up to spec.

[lovedthemost]

[Brain nods to that]

Then that should be a subject of research, if we can find some way to do so here. Though how much information is possible is debatable.

[superstylishsquid]

If there's any notes on how to fix our problem, I'm sure they're not anywhere we're supposed to have access to. That means we'll have to find a way past some of those locked doors.

Not that I expect anyone to let that stop us, of course.

[lovedthemost]

[Brain's eyes narrow a bit at that]

...that one door has a keyboard. I might not be able to connect with it directly anymore, but there is the possibility I could hack it.

[superstylishsquid]

I've already tested if there's any punishment for entering a wrong X-pass. It'd be time consuming, but there's a possibility we could guess.

[lovedthemost]

Beyond just entering random passwords, if I could get into the system, I could possibly discover the ones we need myself.
