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.]

Yeah! That's the spirit! I hate holding back and I got my regeneration anyway! As long as someone can pull my ripcord, I'll always get back up again!
[Makima therefore reaches back to pull the cord.]
VROOM. VROOM, VROOM.
[She does that very seriously though at the same time kind of dead inside?]
I gotta come up with a strategy in case you aim for my arms!
Oh, but we do have to just pretend to fight and not scratch the other dolls.
no subject
[and he lowers his voice again]
One moment, I need to transform so that we may face each other with our full strength!
[and he'll reach into his coat pocket and pull out that full-body costume so he can just...take a minute or two to wrangle that Heart doll into it.]
no subject
If only they gave Makima-san more chainsaws like I can make. Then I could lay them as traps or something. Okay, I'll be thinking of the best angle of attack!
[This is actually sort of a bluff but that's IC for Chainsaw Man. Makima lets the doll hover around the underside of the table, which underscores the cramped seating position. She's jerking it around a bit like somehow the doll jumped up there and is clinging to various corners.]
no subject
Traps, is it? I would have relished the challenge! But I shall look forward to your attack, and for us to begin this exciting battle! Ah, I can feel myself heating up in anticipation!
[Brain sets Heart down on his own knee, holding him steady. He's glancing over at Makima again--and pauses, as he notices something]
Ah. Your hands are red. Are they cold?
no subject
[Makima says as Chainsaw Man a bit more weakly. She releases her telekinetic concentration and instead pins the doll to the underside of the table with the back of one hand, and brings her other hand back to her mouth and huffs on it.]
I haven't gone in the sauna yet today because changing clothes would reduce the time to play with the dolls, especially since keeping them clean and dry is important. I'm basically okay with the coat if I endure, but...
[She rubs her cheek with her hand - it's a bit shiny under pressure too.]
no subject
You humans are really fragile sometimes. [and he'll just start pulling off his gloves, one finger at a time, until he's holding a pair of nice, lined, warm-green gloves.]
Here, you should put this on, or you'll lose your fingers. [he sounds mildly annoyed about it, but he's also practically pushing them into her hands rather insistantly.
And then he'll pick up the doll again]
"That's right! Cold isn't a problem for me, especially! I'll get all fired up, too!" [and Brain makes some sort of humming sound--nothing happens to the doll of course, except that Brain makes it start to vibrate a little]
no subject
[Makima's tired of wondering what color nonsense their watches will bring next, but it's just a dry joke as she's accepting the gloves. Her brow furrows further since she has to shuffle Chainsaw Man around. There is an instant sigh of relief. Wow, it's been a FEW days.]
I had almost forgotten what actually warm hand feel like. This is immeasurably better. Thank you very much, Brain-kun.
[She puts her hands together on the floor, a bit seiza-like. She has to concentrate if she'll wield Chainsaw Man purely by telekinesis.]
But it's a good challenge. I'll trust Makima-san no matter what like always!
[The doll shuffles warily on the floor, blades clicking unevenly. Clearly he has to size up Heart who is about to launch the vibrating.]
no subject
You're welcome, Makima-san. It is good to know that they are useful.
[he's gotten a bit distracted from the dolls for the moment--but as Makima has Chainsaw Man shuffle closer, that gets his attention again]
Ah--
[and he deepens his voice again]
I do indeed hope this to be a fine challenge! I am all overheated, now, quite literally, and ready for a fight!
no subject
[Makima has a smirk of her own on her face as she sits still and has her doll describe herself in this flattering way. Then, telekinesis causes the doll to jump up in a low, long arc and come down towards - the Heart doll's elbow? As if, rather than striking a blow on center of mass, to knock him into the water of the improvised bathtub. Brain is tightly holding the doll though, so it'll probably resist the motion pretty easily.]
That's when the SPARKS FLY, robo-dude!
