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.]

[ Victory. ]

Good... [ another, small kiss ] I'm glad it's not uncomfortable.

[ A smile. ]

You make it look pretty damn amazing, you know.

I'm fairly sure a generic display manikin would be able to make it look amazing.

[He pulls closer, until he's pressing up against Akira.]

But, I will accept that it makes me look even better and vice versa.

[ His arms wind tightly around his boyfriend's waist, and he narrows his eyes just a tiny bit. Stop this, Goro. You stop this. ]

I've seen the outfit by itself and I've seen what's beneath this outfit right now.

[ Leaning forward, he ghosts a kiss over Goro's cheek as he whispers. ]

You make it look amazing... and not with the help of your looks.

[ He's leaning back just enough to flash a smile. ]

But because you have the kind of personality this thing requires.

[What's that, keep it up? Okay. He rests one hand on Akira's cheek, the other running over his back.]

You do too, you know. I was very impressed, the first time I saw you as Joker.

[ Nothing about this has his heart racing. A true monk-in-training, over here. This lack of space is just fine? ]

Ah... [ a dramatic sigh ] To think... senpai noticed me, and I can't even remember the moment it happened...

[Of course it doesn't. He chuckles, letting the movement press against Akira's chest.]

I guess if it bothers you that much, we'll just have to make new memories until we get the old ones back.

[ He gently tugs at Goro's bangs. ]

I demand to be noticed by senpai at least twice a day between now and then.

[ akira plz ]

Twice, huh? And here I thought I was the one who's supposed to like attention.

[He gives a playful smirk, then goes in for a kiss.]

[ He happily returns the kiss. ]

Just because it isn't listed as a 'like' for me, doesn't mean I don't like it just as much.

[ A small grin. ]

Namely from you.

In that case, I'll be happy to give you that attention. Just as long as you give it back, of course~

[ Another kiss! ]

Who said I won't already be giving you twice as much, anyway?

[And another kiss returned...along with a bite.]

And what if I give you twice as much as that?

[ The bite earns a quiet chuckle. ]

Trying to exploit my weakness, I see...

[ He ghosts his lips over Goro's cheek with the next words. ]

Now you're just asking for a war.
