WEEK 2

[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.]

ugh. has anyone ever told you your idea of "help" is really obnoxious?

[She knows exactly what you're doing and she's damn well going to complain about it even if it's working.]

People usually complain I do nothing to help. It's almost like nobody can be happy about what I do.

[It's such a burden to be the wonderful and always important Britt Reid, don't you know?]

maybe you should just be less of a butthole when you do it?
just a thought.

You're fourteen, not four, you can say asshole

[That's not the point, Britt]

Besides it's not like I'm trying to be an asshole

[It comes naturally to him]

i'll say butthole if i want, asshole.

[Okay, that was for purposes of verbal irony, but it did feel pretty good.]

anyway, have you just considered being nicer, maybe?

What is "being nicer"? Enlighten me.

[It may be a good thing you're not looking at his face right now, Joey, he's rolling his eyes]

i don't know, don't be so blunt?
consider that other people might feel like crap and don't make fun of them?
you can get ideas and suggestions across without insulting people, i'm pretty sure.

People don't understand anything unless you tell it all straight.

being honest is different from just saying something without caring how it makes someone else feel.
like "i'm going to africa or something because i can't stand to look at your face" is honest, but it's not helpful, you know?
