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.]

[ Gods, he didn't want to be right on that but here we are.

He just frowned a little as he watched them go. ]

Junpei. You... said that you knew what happened to her and what... didn't happen to her. I want to know what that means... or just... anything useful you think you can tell me.

[15unknowns]

Right, well. It might be better if Akane tells you, but the long and short of it is that...Kanny is meant to be dead, but she found a way to live.


It's the Nonary Game. That's where the madness started for her. On the Gigantic, long ago. But...this game, this madness is different. It's an infection. It's hard to explain. I don't even know if I could really give a good explanation you could fully understand.

[godspiousjasper]

She's missing a lot of memories so that may truly be a little difficult, but thank you for telling me that much.

[ That's.. something. Meant to be dead but found a way to live. It's something that shouldn't be even physically possible. ]

An infection? [ He put a hand to his chest, frowning a bit deeper. ] Then it would be best to try and keep it simple. You said it was an infection, so does that mean everyone on the ship is sick with some kind of virus?

[15unknowns]

It's...not a sickness like you can get normally. It's a sickness of the spirit. A sickness which desires this kind of game. Kanny herself wasn't the carrier, at least.

But, because of that. There's One among you who is the cause of this game.

[godspiousjasper]

That's... it can't be. I know I certainly have no desire for this abominable game.

[ As those last words register, he blinked a couple times and he went a tiny bit pale. ]

...One... among us who caused this to happen...? So without them... this game may not have even happened at all?

[15unknowns]

[Well, if a decapitated head on top of a Tom Servo body could nod, it would.]

[godspiousjasper]

Hm. I see. I think I know who I can speak to, but I'm not even sure if they are aware of being the cause of this..

[ This has been one heck of a conversation. With a decapitated head on a robot body. ]

Junpei... this may be a peculiar thing to ask but... please tell me if you can. How many other games like this one has taken place on the Gigantic?

[15unknowns]

...You're not the first. And if the powers that be have their way? It won't be the last.

...

Oh, I should...probably go. Kanny's probably wondering where I am. Hey, so. Take care, yeah?

[And when Roland blinks--he's gone.]
