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.]

[Surprise! Zack has a hand go to his doll's mouth in surprise.]

O-oh, I don't drink tea yet, but I'd like some crackers!

Well, uh, you ok with that, Makima?

[yesorwoof]

That's a good idea. Very young people can get burnt on tea easily.

[Makima holds up a finger and brings around her saucer of crackers across the floor. Then she brings Chainsaw Man behind the dish like he's presenting it with his two arms.]

TADAAAAAAAAAA!

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Oh, yay! Crackers!

[The little girl starts to "eat" a cracker.]

Thank you, mister!

[yesorwoof]

That's the spirit! Now it's my turn!

[Makima sets the doll to pick up the cracker like a sandwich.]

OMNOMNOM!

Zack, would you prefer we consume the crackers to show that they're gone?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Yeah, that works.

[He'll make a cracker sammich too, for Irene.]

They are yummy!

[yesorwoof]

Mmm.

[Makima delicately takes the cracker between her fingertips. She seems to enjoy it. Then Chainsaw Man rubs the back of his neck shyly.]

We got a bathtub set up too, but that's kinda awkward...

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Oh, that is true. If I wish to bathe Irene, I’d prefer to do it privately with her, you know?

Stranger danger!

[yesorwoof]

Well, Makima-san's gonna get back to it pretty soon. She's got points to earn.

[Makima looks up apologetically.]

Should I put the privacy tablecloth back down, then?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Ah, probably, yeah. That is a good idea.

I like baths! Splish splash! I'm like a siren!

[yesorwoof]

[Makima pulls the tablecloth down. She sets about to undressing her doll. The cloth of course does not impede her voice.]

What's the little siren's name?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

I'm Irene! I'm Zack's baby sister!

[Doll wave!]

[yesorwoof]

Oh. Irene-chan looks a little...

[She dunks her doll in the water bowl.]

Customized.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...Yeah. My doll was blank when I found it. So I had to, um, improvise by drawing on my sister's face and hair.

[yesorwoof]

[Makima pauses, not sure whether she should speak as herself, or what slang word Chainsaw Man would use in this situation. She settles on:]

That is weird, man.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

It's ok! I'm here now, so it's great!

[Does a little bouncy dance with his doll.]
