trustfelled | Week 5.

WEEK 5
With the deaths of AZ, Brady Russell, McKenzie Mitchell, and Walter White, it's probably starting to feel less crowded around here, isn't it? But there isn't going to be a break from your situation - a new day in here should remind you of that. Two people were murdered in an attempt to escape and one had Juri's help to take his own life. How many more will die this week?

Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost...

Checking the rules when you wake up will reveal that there's been a rule change; another reminder of things you've lost, and things you may have yet to lose.

Of course, with the start of a new week, another set of doors has opened up - once again, they can be found in the western corridor, jutting downwards toward the south. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; after the weekend's trial, you probably deserve it.

Can't decide what to play?

[ Kyouko's having the same problem. Nothing looks like it'll be a good enough distraction. ]

No, not really. I don't know what half these games are.

I never spent much time in arcades myself, but I do know a few of them.

[ She gestures to the Pacman game. ] For example, that game is considered a classic in my world.

These are really common where you come from?

[ It's probably common for a lot of people, she's starting to think. ]

Yes. My world is fairly technologically advanced, especially the school I attended.

[ SHE THINKS... If she could remember any of it. ]

In my world, all the technology's hoarded by the Capitol.

So everyone else gets no chance to use it... That's rather cruel.

Most people never use it, so they don't really see it as a bad thing. We just do other stuff to keep ourselves busy.

I see... [ She's tempted to ask what they do to keep busy, but she's not sure how that conversation might go. ]

Since we're here, we may as well take advantage of what we've been given.

Yeah. So do you have a favorite thing you like to play?

I haven't played many games, to tell you the truth. Maybe we could try one together?

Sure. What should we do first?

Would you like to try a fighting game or a racing game?

How about fighting.

[ Because of course. ]

I had a feeling you would agree to a fighting game.

[ She lets out a small chuckle before looking for a game, settling on something that looks a lot like Mortal Kombat. ]

I guess I'm pretty obvious.

[ Let's punch the shit out of virtual characters, Kyouko. ]

Nothing wrong with being predictable sometimes.

[ Actually, she prefers predictable people. ]

In order to play, you use the joystick to move your character and the buttons to use attacks. [ She's seen enough people play to know how it works, even if she's never played herself. ]

[ You're a pretty interesting person, Kyouko. ]

Right. Sounds easy enough.

[ More interesting than she'd like to be, that's for sure.

She selects a versus battle, and a character selection screen pops up. ]

Ah... it seems we can choose who we get to fight as.

[ ... Katniss is going to go for the fastest character. ]

Got mine.

[ And she'll go for the magic user! ]

Ready?

Ready when you are, yeah.

[ Let's do this. ]

[ And they start! Kyouko's not bad, but she still isn't used to playing games and it shows. ]

You're not bad, Katniss.

[ Katniss isn't too bad, either! Her reflexes are pretty solid, at least. ]

Thanks. Neither are you.

[ Kyouko loses this battle though, as she can't land her special attacks in time. ]

I would say you're more of a natural, though.
