[The unfortunate death, and subsequent execution, has no doubt weighed on everyone's minds since. The dam has burst, and now, the idea that someone may kill another in this place is not just a possibility anymore. It is reality, and a very terrifying reality at that.
Yet, there is a strange side effect to the murder's aftermath. When the Titled go to sleep on Saturday evening, they will dream, even if they don't normally do so. When they wake up, their dream stays with them, and a thought comes to everyone. A realization.
Their dream had been a memory they lost. Now, they have it back, as if they had never lost it.
Nor is that the only change. They also feel just a little more confident in their power. Confident enough that they find that their ability has evolved to become stronger. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, well...
Soon enough, too, the Titled's phones start pinging, and when they open up their LIME app, they receive a simple message:]
Your Mall Map has been updated!
[And indeed, those who go to check the Food Court will find an elevator on the eastern end which leads to a brand new wing that had previously been obscured by the barrier.
Dio and Wake's information is also slightly different from before on the LIME app, but...maybe it's best not to think about it. Last week had been...disheartening.
Hopefully, this week will be better, right? Surely, this week, temptation won't win out again....right?
Well.
There's only one way to find out.
Welcome to Week 2, Titled.
There are thirteen strangers in this place.
This week's crab is Dungeness.]
SUNDAY

[Haha no, Joey has made a perfectly massive blanket fort in her room and she ain't coming out of it today. You're free to knock but this mountain fastness is impregnable.]
[Okay she'll leave to get food because she didn't stock up on groceries when she was buying all these extra pillows and blankets. You could also catch her then. But for now this is a 'screw this mall' day.]
B - LIME chat
[That said, she eventually gets starved enough for contact and has had enough time to think through the events of yesterday's nonsense that she feels the need to open a chat and talk about it.]
okay so, first topic: please tell me if colored font and background is hard to read.
it is kind of my thing but i realize this is a teenage girl style and i don't want you to confuse me for LC.
second topic: i hate this and i want to go home.
we need to find a way out that isn't killing.
no one deserves what happened to Wake, and even the guy who did that to him doesn't deserve what happened to Dio.
third topic: speaking of which, what the heck?????
has anyone ever seen something like that before?
it was like something out of one of the really, really horrible episodes of Acorn's Shadow they don't replay on syndication.
also there was an elephant but i've watched Dumbo exactly once and i never intended to do so again anyway.
i think three topics are enough for now.
if you need me i'll be in this room forever.

About time there was a shower. I know this is a mall, but who the hell plans to make people stay in one place without giving them a shower?
[It's inconsiderate of them, seriously.
Videax 9000 is the best thing Britt could have found in this godforsaken place. Movies! Lots of movies! He takes a chair, places a DVD, and shoves a movie there, watching the screen while he has his feet on a table. He looks like he's finally satisfied]
You know what's so great about superhero movies? Everyone looks so badass. Just look at that, who wouldn't want a power like those? [...] Wait, we have powers now. Whoever got us here must be a fan of superhero movies.

[Well, a gym definitely is of interest to a guy like Loewe, but mostly he's going to be in one of the rooms practicing with a sword he picked up from the novelty weapons section of Yotsukoshi. Not quite the quality he'd want, but he's not going to ignore training.
He'll stop if anyone comes in, but won't object to an interruption. Strangely, he seems to pick up on someone being in the room the moment they step in though.
He'll check out some of the other things at some point, but will seem rather confused by all of it. Machines for training definitely is a bit odd for a guy who would train in any large open space. He'll also gladly make use of the shower in the pool annex area.]
Videax 9000
[Well, it's technology Loewe doesn't get, but he's going to try and figure it out. Feel free to catch him accidentally putting in a DVD upside down though. Or once he figures it out, he'd be up for watching a movie with someone if they can deal with someone who has never seen video before reacting with awe over it.]
Wildcard
[Feel free to hit him up in various other places if neither of these work. I'm open to anything or hit me up on plurk if you want to run something past me first!]

When he's through with exploring, he takes some colored pencils and a sketchbook from Colourmen and Sons.
After that's done, he comes back to the first wing where he makes a few stops at both Death Crime Beast Rage and Black Rose Witches, where he's... looking at the various clothes in both stores, but very pointedly not buying any.
Then he buys one of those Weekly Crab Special buckets before taking his supplies and food to the Cat Cafe. Yes, he's taking all of the shell bits and other nasty crud off before feeding a good portion of those crab legs to the cats.
There's a bunch of different sketches he's doing here - an assortment of random Pokemon, flowers, cityscapes... but out of his human drawings, he seems most occupied with a woman wearing black lipstick, drawn in various states of dress and undress.
In the sketches where she's wearing clothes, she seems to be dressed in outfits that look like they belong in the two stores he looked through for inspiration earlier. ]

As per the norm, he can be found doing the latter part in the cat cafe.
Anyone who catches him there when he's not eating? Will find him lying on the floor, sleeping cat on his chest, with him staring up at the wall.
For once, he's keeping to himself for the most part.
"Most part" since he won't be avoiding anyone, more than he won't be making a point to jump right into approaching anyone. If anything...
He'll be heading back to his room after eating and spending some time being a cat bed. ]

What do you do if you just remembered something terrible and are really worried for the safety of the people you love back home? And here, too?
I almost wish Professor Woodward was here. I'm sure she'd have some wise thing to say. She always had something wise to say. I haven't felt this lost in a long time.

Later, he's settled down for lunch in the food court, apparently from Un-Steak My Heart, and examining a quiver of dark arrows and a rubber knife. Interestingly, the former seems to be entirely real.]

He looks more put together by the time he goes to take a long-awaited shower in the gym annex. Anyone with the (mis?)fortune to walk in at the wrong time might be able to notice that he has both a lean, sculpted build and more scars than you would expect on a teenager, light and well-healed but all over his body except the places his clothes don't cover.
That out of the way... Kurama can mostly be found either at the target course he created near the Mosaic, alternating practice with trying to tear the tarp down, or in one of the gym's newly opened exercise rooms.
With a whip.
That he seems to be very, very skilled with, actually, to the point that his practice almost looks like a dance.
It's only late in the day that he visits the restaurants, ending up in the cat cafe with his food as usual.]

MONDAY
Slight mod ping for Pagemasters
When she finally leaves the café, it's to go to the gym and pool. There she'll swim a few laps in a nice red bikini. She's got to clear her head, and this, frankly, helps. At the end of the laps, she'll float there on her back and stare at the ceiling.
After that, she'll head to Pagemasters and look around. While there's no history or current events, Croix knows science. And a look at the science accessible in the books here could tell her about what era they might be in, and whether it's more or less advanced than her own. After checking that out, she'll just grab some fiction books and buy them before returning to the café to read. ]

Mod ping for Touch of Fitnesse I guess
[First thing's first, though: she hasn't hit up the chip machines yet, preferring to save this sort of thing up and do it all at once. Which means she's definitely buying a nice, sturdy flashlight from Yotsukoshi with her spare cash. Even if she explores mostly during the day, it's a solid club for self-defense.]
[Second thing is going to be going to Fitnesse and washing up properly oh thank God yes. Sink washing for a week is not acceptable and she'll spend a fair bit of the rest of the morning looking around the area and trying to figure out if anything she can see is controlling or powering the speakers in here. And, okay, doing some barre exercises in the aerobics room. Man it feels good to stretch properly.]
[After lunch, her attention turns to Videax 9000, where she marvels at the collection size. It's almost enough to make cable seem pointless. Almost. Although...]
Wait, what is this? Movies on CD? Or are these like...really small laserdiscs...

Hey. Anyone here know how to fight? Self defense would be good to know.
Could prevent more of us ending up dead.
[ In the earlier part of the day after he'd sent out that message, anyone could find Karma in the Cat Cafe by himself with a rather small cat that he's playing with. Seeming almost amused, but content as he did so. Those who look closely might even find a touch of something almost fond in his expression.
A little later would find him in A Touch of Fitnesse, where he's taken up experimenting with some of the more heavy-looking weight training materials and seeming almost bored. Same with how he doesn't even seem to bat an eye despite the things being fairly heavy-looking.
However he does get restless and it's some time after this that he's wandered over to the pool area, dressed in a pair of deep red and black swim trunks and hopping in to do some swimming. He opts to sink down, lingering close to the edge and waits for someone to walk by before popping out of the water.
All in hopes to scare them, and maybe pull them in because he can. ]

After this check round, you can find her at Basic Brown. She spends an unreasonable amount of time just standing in front of the store pulling faces of disgust, but eventually she enters and ... seems to basically grab clothes blind from the cheapest racks. She winds up with one men's T-shirt that is way too large for her, utterly shapeless shorts and a set of socks and underwear each.
It's weird... she doesn't think she's ever had to check her balance for buying money before. She doesn't think she's ever... walked into a store and just grabbed something premade ever since she was maybe 11? Things have always fitted her perfectly, they had all been made for her. Now it's her solace that they don't.
When this conflicting episode is over, Helena makes her way to the showers. Where she... her hospital gown on. Just stands there clothed like always, letting the water run over her. It's the first time she's properly washed herself ever since arrival and whether or not it's proper is... debatable.
For most of the afternoon, Helena is to be found in Pagemasters. She's dressed in her newly acquired outfit that looks like an elaborate potato sack ensemble, her hair is still damp from the earlier shower session. She's seated on the floor, reading, and she'll remain there until late in the evening. ]

Slight mod ping for... minor ransacking?
Flipping through magazines to look for publication dates, the expiration on the medicines, even checking for trademark dates on the videos. Yes, there is definitely a theme to his search.
He looks very subtly perturbed as he does so, too. Like something is bothering him.]

TUESDAY
Still, a thought will come to every Titled's head, regardless, that they should at least consider buying one. There's 15 of them, after all...so if you're lucky you can get two extra, perhaps?...]
Motive: A Saucerful of Secrets
Do you still believe that simple motives will not make you act? Last week seems to be against that sentiment. After all, we are simple creatures and if we see something shiny dangling in front of us like a carrot, we want it. I can expect you glaring at the screen right now, cursing me to the Heavens like most fools who are trying to get their lives in check. And I truly have little love to give to you so let us get that out of the way before I hear another 'LET'S STICK TOGETHER' plan that may as well set itself on fire.
Back to the topic at hand: we all want something and as for that fop before, his greed got him found out. But if material wealth is not what makes you look again, this might.
[And as an attachement to each individual person, there's something quite...damning. Something to them that they want to keep close to their hearts. And yet this crazy has found out what it is. It's their most darkest and deepest secret...only theirs, no one else's.]
No man is without their secrets...and I just happen to know the ones of you that you rather not want be brought to light. 'But we can tell everyone here about ours easily!' you may say and that might be true...but what about those outside of this mall? Some of these secrets are quite juicy and scandalous after all.
You already know what the offer is in exchange for this never coming to light: commit to Rule 7 fully and these little secrets stay that way. Oh, it's quite easy to kill a man, but let's see if you manage to not get caught this time.
[And like before, there is no way to contact them or to trace the number.
As the text closes out, a number appears on the bottom of their phone.
5:00:00::00
Which starts to countdown.
