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.]

Oh no flower arrangement and ikebana

[byanyother_name]

[Ren will get an interested redhead approaching him while he makes those whimsical arrangements. Flowers are good bait for NinetailsKurama.]

Have you trained in ikebana, Sanzashi-san? Or are you self-taught?

[steelmagnolias]

I haven't had any formal training, no.

[ Being sequestered in a house for his formative years, then spending most of his adolescent and young adult years in showbiz probably meant that he didn't get much of the chance. ]

My mother taught me.

[byanyother_name]

I see. That sounds like a wonderful bonding experience. My mother gardens with me sometimes.

[Kurama will make a small move towards some of Ren's supplies but he's very clearly waiting for permission before touching anything.]

[steelmagnolias]

Things with my own mother were always... complicated.

But I still can't let go of what she taught me.

[byanyother_name]

I see... [He really might. Complicated can mean a lot of things but that second sentence is sort of telling.]

I won't say there are no complications in my relationship with my mother. But they're all entirely my own fault. She's a very loving parent.

There's nothing wrong with holding on to what you have of someone, even if the relationship wasn't what it could have been. Our ties to others teach us about ourselves.

[steelmagnolias]

Guess you're right.

She definitely cared, but... maybe it was a little too much.
