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.]

[He listens to that....and then, hesitantly, ever so hesitantly, picks up the doll with a faint redness to his cheeks.]

I...I suppose...Hmm.

[He holds the doll carefully, like she's something precious - even as he coughs and slowly affects a higher-pitched voice.]

'Hiya, Maki! My name's Ritsuka!' ...oh, this feels quite foolish...

[unpossibilities]

Now you're gettin' it.

[Kaito clears his own throat and takes on Maki's feminine, yet stoic and guarded tone.]

Harukawa Maki. I'm the Ultimate Child Caregiver. [Maki seems to pause, thinking of a conversation topic.] Do you have anything you're really good at, Ritsuka?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Oh lord, he doesn't remember enough of Ritsuka (enough? why did that come to mind?) for this, but he'll try his best despite his misgivings.

...And also note how well Kaito is taking to this.]

Well, I'm really good at making others feel comfortable! No matter who it is, I can make friends with them!

[unpossibilities]

So you're the opposite of me, then.

[Maki notes, a bit solemnly.]

...How do you do that so easily? It's...hard. It's hard to reach out to people. They could be dangerous.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

They could be, or they could end up being nicer than you expected!

[Ritsuka seems very...optimistic, much like a certain priest here. Or Kaito himself.]

You can get hurt, but if you don't reach out, you'll stay alone! That's even harder to me, I think.

[A pause.]

But we could be friends, if you want!

[...man, it did NOT take moriarty long to slide into character, huh.]
