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.]

[Well. This is...an odd scenario. But hey, Makima's here. Maybe she'll work with this.]

Hey, Makima. Wanna, uh... [he holds up his little Maki doll, who is dressed in Maki's usual clothes] ...play, I guess...???

[He's not sure what to do with it, but...]

[yesorwoof]

Oh, Momota-kun. If that's alright with you, I'd be happy to do so.

[Makima holds out the Chainsaw Man doll with its rolled up sleeves and pushes its right arm up and left down arm, like it's flexing basically.]

Nice to meet you, Missy! Chainsaw Man's my name and murderizing devils is my game! I'll save you any time!

[Kaito clears his throat, then holds out the Maki doll. He makes her head look to the side.]

Harukawa Maki. There's...no such thing. I can take care of myself, anyway.

[He's not the best at imitating her voice, but the mannerisms are surprisingly spot on.]

[yesorwoof]

Harukawa Maki?

[MAKI ROLL is thinking some thoughts. The cadence of the doll seems so realistic too, even if the pitch is a little harder for him. Makima's doll jumps in place with a whiny growl that's easy for her.]

Well, too bad, Maki-chan! Because we're supposed to go on a date!

No, Chainsaw Man. Settle down. It's a playdate.

Awwwwwwwwwwww. Yes, Makima-san.

[unpossibilities]

She was...a classmate of mine. I forgot her, somehow, until the motive. [He takes the picture out of one of his pockets, showing it to her.] I don't know how.

[But he quite easily jumps back in.]

Do you want to die?

...Maki, hey.

...Sorry. I don't like going on dates, though. Playdates are--playdates are fine, I guess. [The doll rubs under one of her eyes tiredly.] I'm the Ultimate Child Caregiver, so I'm used to it.

[yesorwoof]

[She looks down at the photo thoughtfully. Makima ends up trapped in her head and continuing to respond as Chainsaw Man.]

Sounds like you never really got to be a kid. That makes two a us. I had to hunt devils for money since I was young. I think we both deserve to just take a break for once!

[unpossibilities]

You're--You're surprisingly perceptive, for...for you. [Maki seems shocked - because she probably would be, just a little.] I...in this kind of situation, though, there's not really any time. People are dying. If you take a break, you'll die too. I know that from when I was a kid, too.

[yesorwoof]

[The Maki acting is very convincing and immersive! Makima has her gaze entirely focused on it now.]

You should have seen me before Makima-san patched me up, man. I was skin and bones some days. But listen, they're givin' us points for relaxing, you passing those up? Ugh... that Momota dude shoulda gotten you a swimsuit. That's like taking a bath!
