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's not a loved one, he's my rival. They picked him because they know I'd hate to see him killed before I manage to defeat him in battle.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

But even if he's your rival, hurting him when he can't fight back is disrespectful!

[...Zack, it's a doll.]

I know but that's besides the point!

[superstylishsquid]

It's just a doll. And even if he feels it like with the ones of us, it doesn't do any real damage. He deserves a kick in the ribs for getting himself stuck like this.

...And who are you talking to?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Would you do that to any of us if we were in his place? Including me? We aren’t here by choice, mate!

[Zack disapproves! Of this violence!]

…Zack Jr. The voice in my head.

[superstylishsquid]

None of you are this idiot who's supposed to be my worthy rival.

[He chucks the helmet meant for the doll at it. -3 more points...that probably doesn't count as dressing.]

What do you mean the voice in your head? You starting to crack under the stress or something?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Well, if I had a rival, I wouldn’t treat them like that. And…no, Zack Jr.’s been in my head for as long as I can recall. She also used to be a he, but I suppose that’s irrelevant.

[superstylishsquid]

Guess that's why I'm a supervillain, and you're not.

[Ostensibly. However...that has him squinting. Ordinarily he wouldn't think much of it, but...]

...Did anything else change about her?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

No, just the gender. The snark is still there. Why?

[superstylishsquid]

[He debates for a moment whether or not to explain, but...can't hurt. Probably.]

Sometimes possessions start out like that, with seemingly innocuous changes that people close to the victim just pass off as ordinary emotional growth. Considering we already know demons and ghosts are involved in all this...
