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.]

[She looks at him like she'd shrug but it would dislodge more blood from the arm.]

I believe it's not any member of our group. Otherwise, we'll have to unwrap it to try and find out.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

I-I really hope not!

Why would the Gimme give you an arm?? Did you make him mad or something?

[He looks over at the items in the pews.]

[yesorwoof]

The Gimme doesn't seem to be a particularly generous individual. I've gathered coins from my comrades mostly hoping for spare clothes and didn't get much to phone home about...

[She follows his gaze.]

Is there something in there you want?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Well, that's odd. He's been nice to me when I've come to them!

[He spots the little ant plushie.]

Oh...isn't this just adorable! May I have this?

[yesorwoof]

Oh, you want something to snuggle with? It's fine with me, but I will say it struck me as a little more valuable than the milk caps. Just remember that.

[She stands aside!]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

It did? Why? And why would the Gimme give you…milk caps?

[Ant plush get! It…is warm. Nice.]

[yesorwoof]

Why does the Gimme give us anything?

[She picks up the acorn for rhetorical effect.]

Did the Gimme give you anything more useful than this?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

They gave me a pat on the head! Such a nice person, honestly.




















[wut]

[yesorwoof]

I hope you washed your hair after that.

[Squint...]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Well, of course I did! I try to keep myself clean. But…yeah, I don’t see why ever has a problem with them.

[yesorwoof]

Zack-kun...

[Makima looks at him more and more skeptically.]

I know that we have to be understanding of one another's differences, like Alastor-kun and Val-chan. But in the Gimme's case, isn't what they did to Keith-kun a little much?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

…

[A sigh.]

I…

I am going to sound nuts right now. But the rule was that the Gimme could punish someone as they saw fit-but not kill them. Right? So. Call it a gut feeling, I guess, or whatever you want, but I don’t think it was the Gimme who actually killed Keith.

[yesorwoof]

Then who on earth did? They're the only other one within the ship, aren't they?

[Makima squints harder.]

John Connor was assaulted just today and left in full view. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I don't really see how Keith's body could have been missed if the method was the same as for John. Are you suggesting he was nevertheless killed by yet another an inhabitant of the ship?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...

There...there is someone else, though. The figure who...the figure on the theater stage who...

[Surely he isn't the only one who saw it, right?]
