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.]

Tartarus?
[Zack...actually looks confused by this.]

[Hermes shuts his mouth because he thinks he may have said too much, TIME FOR A DISTRACTION!]
"Any loser wimp that tries to escape faces KILLING HOUR!"
[Nailed it.]
no subject
But killing is bad!
no subject
Yeah, sometimes what may been like a bad thing is actually a good thing! I sometimes help Thanatos with his job, even though he's an ancient pile of junk.
"We call it Killing Hour!"

[Uh, Zack? Earth to Zack. Poke poke poke!
Oh right. I. I don't have fingers. Like this. Shit.
Hey, Hermes, bud, I know you can't hear me, but help a narrator out, yeah?]
no subject
...Zack?
...
Don't worry, it's only a computer game. Nobody in it is real, including us.
no subject
[blink blink]
Oh. Sorry, mate, I...blanked out there. But...you're real here, you know?

[Hermes doesn't want to die, true, but still...]
If I die, there'd be another first-gen Hermes to replace me the next universe...
no subject
[There's that accent again.]
no subject
I kinda have to be. All the Greeks and Romans and Limbos do if they die. I wouldn't want someone to stop playing Fortuna because it's too broken to function. We all have our jobs to do. That's why replacements get spawned in.
no subject
...........Why would someone do that without...thinking of how to fix it so you could live peacefully?
...Y-yeah!
no subject
"Losers to murder! Four-legged and rusted lightning rods to belittle!"
What I'm saying is I'm meant just for the entertainment of others. Whatever the players want to do to us, we can't argue with them. They're the ones in control, not us.
no subject
That's just sad. To be under someone's control, with no...no way to escape that...it's wrong.
no subject
...
The devs worked really hard on Fortuna. What else am I supposed to do other than let the players do what they want to me? To us? To anyone in the game?
Listen, just... The big secret to the game is that sometimes... people just die.
no subject
Escape? I...I don't know.
no subject
[You know what? Time to change the subject entirely!]
...SoIreneTellMeAllAboutYourSchool! AndYourFriends,Too!

[Zack still looks bummed, though.]

DoYouHave AnyCoolFriendsThere?
no subject
...I don't know who her friends at nursery school are.
