WEEK 1

[You now know why you're here, Titled. The question now is, is there a way to get out of here without invoking the rules? What will those who brought you here do to get you to kill?

Time will tell.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

Comments

[That would explain a few of the more badly-edited frames of Princess Shika and Baroness Kitsune in Magical Animal Companion Heal Rescue, but Joey's not especially concerned with her favorite Japanimation right now.]

Well, whoever gave it to you, they were a big fan.

[Yuuri thinks of who could possibly be that big a fan of him and comes up blank. Victor is enthusiastic and affectionate, but it's all playful flirting that he probably does with everyone. There's no way the man who's wanted by the whole world would be interested in Yuuri that way.]

I still think it's just the people running this thing messing with me. I'm....

[Weak? Plain? Nothing special? Dime a dozen? He offers her an empty smile, one that doesn't reach his eyes this time.]

... just Yuuri Katsuki, nothing more.

[incrediblystressedout]

And what's wrong with being "just Yuuri Katsuki"? You seem like a pretty okay guy to me, and you must be pretty talented to figure skate professionally.

Besides, plenty of people get rings like that just for being themselves to the right person every day.

[katsufemmefatale]

[Yuuri shrugs at the whole "talented" thing.]

It's not like I can show you my skating here so you could judge for yourself. I miss it, even if I'm just average at it. Victor's amazing, and the Junior World champion is only fifteen and he's almost as good as Victor. Somebody like me doesn't stand out with people like them around.

[He glances down at the ring again, slipping it back on his finger.]

And I'm not the kind of person who wears jewelry, especially just for myself. Maybe I just... need to not think about it anymore.

[Then why did you put it back on, Yuuri? Maybe because not wearing it feels weird and wrong somehow?]

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey understands that. Sometimes thinking about something you can't do anything about is more of a problem than a solution.]

Well, even if you can't skate, I'd love to do some ballet with you if we can find a space for it. Can't let ourselves get out of practice, right?
