FINAL WEEK

FINAL WEEK

[This round really has been different.

The beginning of the week brings memories once more, as everyone finally falls asleep, and soon enough it will become apparent that a new wing has opened up, laying bare the entire mall for the survivors. Still, it is no small comfort. Not when the residents have also been updated, bringing home the very sobering fact that over half of those who arrived here are dead.

There are so few left. The Fabricator has been exposed, and somehow that is hardly a victory. It's clear that whoever is running this intends to hold whatever cards they can until the bitter end. Theirs isn't the first time this Game has been played, after all. They can easily outlast their charges on their home turf.

Yet, there is a strange hope. Maybe there is a way out. The question now is finding it and going on the offensive, before those in charge make their next move. Because they will eventually. There is no doubt. Time is not a luxury the remaining Titled can waste anymore and everyone knows it.

So don't waste it - because the clock is ticking. Prepare yourselves.

There are seven strangers left in this place.]

[ She might be a little bit red. Aw, Akira. You're so sweet. ]

... Thank you, Akira. It's a little hard to say that with so much confidence, but... I hope it suits your themes well enough. I don't know if I'd be cut out for your thief business, but I am an acrobat by nature, and I can run along walls using my magic, if I could just get my wand. I can also kick things pretty strongly. My feet and legs are my best weapons.

I know how to turn my wand into a blade, but honestly, I prefer using my legs.

I think you'd make one hell of a thief. After all... our focus was stealing warped desires. Are goal was to repair our society by getting our targets to confess their crimes and head down a better path in life.

[ He rubs at the back of his neck and releases a thoughtful hum. After a second, there's a soft smile. ]

Queen sticks to punching her enemies, so you two would really balance each other out.

[ The smile remains intact. ]

We also have someone dedicated to guiding us. Oracle doesn't fight beyond things like providing backup healing and information on our targets. I have no idea how we'd manage without her.

[theirmagic]

I'm too accustomed to fighting using magic... I'm not sure if I'd fight the same way your friends do. The last time I fought something big, though, I did sort of just... kick it in the face really hard and then get eaten for a little while after it got back up...

[ ... Long story. ]

I think my legs are strong enough, if they can knock a dragon monster to the ground, to probably knock around some other things. I've knocked over magically enhanced stone statues, too. Admittedly, that was with the help of my magic, though.

[ He opens his mouth...

... closes it...


Opens it again... ]

Eaten for a little while?

[ourmagic]

... There was a magical monster that turned into a dragon. I was trying to protect Croix from getting hurt, so I kicked it, and it kind of just...

[ ... Well. She shrugs? ]

[beguiledcard]

...

[ Oh... ]

That's... [ CAN YOU SAY "BADASS" TO A TEACHER...? ] ... really badass.

[ Too late now. ]

[theirmagic]

[ ... She looks like she's trying really hard not to chuckle. ]

... I was pretty out of it for a little while until Akko and the others showed up. She used the Shiny Rod to get me out of it. I could only do so much without access to my magic.

[beguiledcard]

[ He blinks. ]

No wand?

[ Or... was there another reason she couldn't use magic...? ]
