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? Not my fault you didn't consider the possibility of people getting competitive over it.

[yesorwoof]

I don't regret my actions. I just hope you're aware of the optics.

[She shrugs.]

Though I'd rather not name names, many of us aren't in full philosophical harmony, yet have found that the game oddly enough forces us to work together. I suppose that's that.

[Val. She is talking about Val.]

[superstylishsquid]

The optics? If I cared to hurt anyone here, I promise I'd do it much more directly than that.

[He shrugs.]

But you're right. I don't trust Devil Hunters not to come for my life at the first opportunity, but infighting here would cause problems for everyone.

[yesorwoof]

Good.

[She puts her chin in her hand wondering.]

It really is so strange. Zero hides from us, but also wants us to know more about him. He urges us to kill each other, but also to protect ourselves from that threat.

[superstylishsquid]

It is. 'T's like he's afraid of us, even though we're so severely handicapped...and if he just wanted to make us suffer having to kill or be killed by our fellow prisoners, why the capital punishment for someone who gets caught?

I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that without the threat of a trial and execution, Val would've already torn someone's throat out.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I can attest to that!

[valkavian]

I'm stuck in a cooler full of capri suns over here.

[superstylishsquid]

Humans are good for more than their blood, you know!

[valkavian]

Yeah, I know, doesn't mean I wanna get too attached.

[superstylishsquid]

It's not exactly a tightrope between 'best friends' and 'walking juice pouches'.

[valkavian]

Ooooooooookay, but sometimes you just want, like. A pet.

[yesorwoof]

Though that's not taking into account those of us who would try to stop Val-chan, I see your point precisely.

[Makima twirls the end of her braid between her fingertips.]

Zero always denies this, but clearly a series of murders is desired, leading up to something with the survivors. Perhaps the votes to execute the culprit also taint our souls and contribute to the desired outcome.
