Week 3.

[trustfellowship]

WEEK 3 Grace and Doug are dead. It seems that there isn't anything more to do but mourn your losses and try to move forward. The Transmitter's rules still hang in every room, a reminder of the only means of escaping this place. But surely no one else will give into them, right? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; the static blares out early on Sunday, but at least there are no bodies to find today - it seems you're safe for now. 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... Once again, however, it seems your efforts won't go unrewarded; another set of corridors have opened up, much in the same fashion as the other new area did last week. With them come new rooms to explore; maybe some of them will be to your liking. Or perhaps it's better to say that hopefully some of them will; after all, if the Transmitter gets her way, you may be here for a very, very long time. PATIENTS REMAINING: 26

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week three of Trustfell! Feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Transmitter, you can do so through text or the phone in your room!]

...what other things could I learn for self-defense, then? [ He is totally not!]

[armamenta]

I'm sure you could ask around and get some other ideas, but knives seem to be everyone's default here.

[Which makes sense given that there aren't a lot of other weapons around.]

[cadmiums]

Excellent! What would you like Pizzazz-chan? [ It's clear he's making a sort of game out of this, but he is taking it somewhat seriously.]

[cadmiums]

Would you like coffee or tea, Mikoto? [ Another slight bow, as you do.]

[arebetter]

Well, uh... it's just coffee and tea on the menu, then? Coffee. Roxy's the one who's into tea.

[cadmiums]

Not quite-- I only really know how to serve beverages, it's my part time job at home. I guess I'm more of a server? [ And then with another small bow.] Right away, Princess Corrin.

[cadmiums]

Coming right up! [ He'll start on it with an amused smile.] I take it you don't visit cafes too often?

[cadmiums]

It is! A pool is nice, but an onsen is a whole other world. It's great as a group activity, though the boys and girls are usually separated... [ Which is a shame obviously.]

[cadmiums]

Oh, really? Then it'll be my honor to serve you your first cup of coffee Princess Nachetanya. [ Might as use her full name in this situation.]

[cadmiums]

I don't think I would like using knives either, except for cooking. I guess I don't really need to find something. [ He's been lucky so far!]

[armamenta]

Watch your back, then.

[It's fine if Ryoji doesn't want to fight, but he needs to be careful to avoid the people who will.]

[enhancements]

[Wh- ]

Absolutely not.

[enhancements]

[Being social is highly Difficult, Lovecraft, he feels you. ...You...incredibly bizarre person.]

Yes. I'm sure something will occur eventually to change all that, but for the time being it is what it is.

[halleberry]

I'm curious as to whether or not it's a recent addition, myself, or whether it's an expansion. Still, either way, it's something to be grateful for...

[ Assuming, you know, no one winds up face-down in it on Friday. ]

[enhancements]

Most of our relationship so far has been based on attempting to kill each other.

[...So there's that.]

Of course, she also betrayed the corporation in a way that made me do a fair amount of damage control that ended up not being pleasant for anyone. But the constant attempted murder is definitely a factor.

[halleberry]

I'd...rather not see anyone take a risk with that. There's no need to be reckless here...

[ Given, of course, the amount of recklessness that's already happened over the past two weeks. ]

Still, there must be a precaution that could work.

[cadmiums]

I haven't had any problems with anyone. Or were you thinking of someone in particular?

[nachetanya]

Well then, I'll be counting on your service, Ryoji.

[ she even - ah, wait, she can't curtsy in pants. So she sort of faux-bows for him, holding out her arm to be led to what seat he wants to take her to. ]

[halleberry]

A-ah, there's no need to serve me, really. If anything, Mochizuki-san, I should be asking if you'd like anything.

[ Since he seems so busy at work, it seems only fair that she should return the favor... ]

[ossifragant]

[......]

The kitchen.

You're not planning on camping out there, are you?

[armamenta]

We don't know who will snap next so it's good to stay cautious of everyone.

[...except you're the type to befriend everyone, aren't you.]

[georgeous]

Hmmh...

[ He gives the notebook back and then hums a little as he leans back in his seat to mentally phrase an answer to the question. ]

I think making them sympathetic makes the story lose focus. A hero is meant to protect and never lose sight of what they protecting, the villain doesn't need to be anything more than a threat. They're the aggressor, they are the beginning of the violence, while the hero brings about the end.

Why would you want to show their perspective? The hurt your hero and their people feel will not be soothed by that. It wouldn't be satisfying to switch sides.

[ #BiasedStorytellingOpinions ]

[ossifragant]

More or less, yeah. We don't rely on a number of things most people do. The cold can't exactly kill me.

[georgeous]

[ George tilts his head as if to say are you sure you're not fighting in a war or something? but he lets the explanation slide. ]

You amassed an impressive amount of talent for just this. Terrifying even, in our context.

[nachetanya]

Oh wow... that's amazing, but that could be inconvenient. Wouldn't that mean you wouldn't notice until too late if you froze or were lit on fire?
