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.]

[foolishjustice]

It's been some time since I've done much in the way of sewing, but I do have a steady hand. Just please stand as still as you can, I wouldn't want to accidentally sew the suit onto you.

[...That's a joke. He hopes the lack of seriousness in his delivery makes that clear.]

[steelmagnolias]

It wouldn't be the first time it happened.

[ He gives a flippant sort of gesture, but it did actually happen. ]

[foolishjustice]

[He's...not going to ask. He'll just thread one of his newly acquired needles and get to work making adjustments. He'll...try not to let his mind wander too much during the tedious bits, though Ren might have to suffer a poke or two because Akechi wasn't paying close enough attention to what he was doing.]

[steelmagnolias]

[ And a while later, looks like it...mostly fits! ]

...okay, I can't thank you enough for that.

[ He's probably gonna stash this in his closet for a while, but ]

[foolishjustice]

[It seems like just the act of thanking him has him quite pleased already, since he answers with a cheerful smile.]

It's quite alright. The more difficult items are worth large sums, so I'm simply happy I could be of help with one.

[steelmagnolias]

Should we get moving, then?

[ He looks around Yotsukoshi, and there's two places he has in mind, either the gardening section if Akechi wants to figure out her favorite thing, or the novelty weapon section. ]

[foolishjustice]

That seems wise, I believe I've seen lawn segments in the gardening section.

[steelmagnolias]

Alright, let's go.


[ Aaaaaand hopped over to the gardening section! He'll get to that sod in a moment, but he gets distracted by some flowers in little plastic containers.

Sorry, Akechi, he'll look over there to touch a petal, just for a moment. ]

[foolishjustice]

[He notices that distraction. It catches his attention for two reasons: 1) he's naturally curious, and 2) that sure seems like the behavior of someone who really likes something. So don't mind him walking over to take a look.]

Does that flower have some sort of significance to you?

[steelmagnolias]

[ It's a couple of buckets filled with camellia plants. ]

Sort of.

[ Oh Akechi, had you only known...

His response is curt, as if to say "you're not wrong, but you have not unlocked enough backstory to hear why." ]

[foolishjustice]

Ah...

[A moment's hesitation, then:]

Is it something you're particularly fond of, perhaps?

[steelmagnolias]

More than anything else in this place.

[ Even the whiskey!

Here, go touch it. He'll go to that grass section over there. ]

[foolishjustice]

[He's not sure just touching the container will work, so he'll briefly brush a gloved fingertip over the petals before following to the lawn area.]

Actually, that reminds me. Have you had the opportunity to touch someone else's favored item yet?

I probably won't finish this before the minigame ends but

[steelmagnolias]

...no.

Honestly, I just started.

Well, here's one more item.

[foolishjustice]

[He holds out his hand and, at some point during the motion, a cup of coffee appears in it.]

Would you care for some coffee, then? It's the house blend from my favorite cafe.
