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.]

It's dangerous to assume greed is the only possible reason.

[ Only looking for that kind of person means narrowing the pool of suspects in a naive way. ]

There's also the chance someone could be in a dangerous amount of debt...

[steelmagnolias]

...you're right.

[ Welp. Open mouth, insert foot. ]


Still, I'm not sure whether or not to be relieved they weren't as shameless as they could have been...

[beguiledcard]

You're not necessarily wrong, yourself.

There's nothing okay about murder, no matter the reason.

[ At all. ]

I'm only suggesting we try to consider all possibilities.

[steelmagnolias]

Do you think there's a chance we can suss out anyone who might be tempted before someone dies?

[beguiledcard]

Yes.

[ It's sent with zero hesitation, even. Hey, where there's a will, there's... at least a chance?? That's not too hopelessly optimistic, right? ]

It'd be even better if nobody gave into this.

Until we decide what to do next, we should focus on helping each other stay calm.

because this is before Akechi called the meeting

[steelmagnolias]

Maybe we should call a meeting or something later on.

[beguiledcard]

You're right.

We should put our heads together.

[theirmagic]

There's always another way. If you have to kill another living being to help yourself, then you're the worst kind of person!

[beguiledcard]

I agree that killing is wrong.

[ He, uh... didn't mean to upset anyone more. He's pausing his messages to take a deep breath. ]

Right now, it's better to think about all of the reasons that someone might resort to this.

We only have each other right now.

[ Sorry, Akira, but Chariot Ursula is just a REALLY HEATED person when certain topics come up, as you're about to find out.

... It's always the teachers, isn't it? ]

Oh, don't give me that. If you have to kill someone to live, and think you're unable to come to one of the other people here because you're in debt, or you need help... then you need to get your priorities straight. Of course we'd help you! Or them. Whoever the proverbial person is... oh, you get my point. My point is just this: no matter what, it's not the answer. We can help!

[beguiledcard]

[ WHY IS IT TURNING INTO THIS........... Ur-ursula plz calm down????? ]

I'm just pointing out that finding a way to stick together as a group could save more lives in the end. We're all victims in this situation, and figuring out the reason they're using money as leverage would be the best place to start.

I am on your side here, and I'm sorry that I upset you.

[theirmagic]

... No, I'm just angry at all of... this. They bring us here, and then try to play it off with MONEY being an actual reason? Honestly... I just can't see it.

Maybe I'm naively optimistic, but... I'm not the kind of person that would want to hurt others, if I could help it.

[beguiledcard]

Unfortunately, I can't say I haven't seen people who were willing to go to those lengths for money.

Being optimistic isn't such a bad thing, and neither is being against hurting other people.

In fact, I'll be counting on you for that strength.

[ One thing that is easier over this? Sending words like that, and then not having to force an expression that would match. ]

[theirmagic]

I'll do everything in my power to try and make sure no one has to get hurt. Don't worry.
