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.]

[Yuuri is just climbing down the ladder into the pool when Ursula freaks. He’s out of the water in a shot, going to her with a look of concern. He even touches her arm.]

Callistis-san? What is it? What’s wrong?

[ Sorry, Yuuri, did you expect an elegant response? You startle her, and she falls right into the pool. The good news is her phone falls onto the ground, at least. ]

Ah!

[He jumps in after her, afraid that she might have hit her head when she fell. Strong arms wrap around her and he carefully lifts her head and shoulders above the water.]

Are you okay?!

[ She didn't, thankfully, but she appreciates the assist anyway as she tries to get above the water. ]

S-sorry, I was... d-distracted...
