trustfelled | Week 5.

WEEK 5
Another week has passed; another two people have died. Tsubasa Hanekawa and Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra have joined the ranks of the deceased. Whatever you may have thought about them in the end, one thing hovers heavy over the group: the fact that neither their compassion nor their ambition was enough to keep them alive in here.

Is yours?

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...

And of course, with another successful trial comes a new addition to the building, another corridor opening up on the west side of the building. The doors leading to it branch off of the hallways leading to the second and fourth sections of the building; have those doors always been there? You can't remember...

It's a new week. Of course, that means you've been here for over a month, and your stay doesn't seem to be coming to a close yet.

PATIENTS REMAINING: 22

In the beginning, God created Man in his own image and gave him shelter in paradise, in the Garden of Eden. It was a bountiful place, and Man wanted not except for companionship, and so God created Eve. For a time, the two lived prosperously, tending to the fields, crop, and animals that lived along side them. There was only one crop they could not eat, the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. If they ate this fruit God warned, they would know of the existence of Good and Evil and would be banished from the Garden forever.

And for a time they obeyed this rule, until they were tempted by the Devil to eat the forbidden fruit. When they did, they were filled with shame and were banished from the Garden to Earth. From then on, they were no longer immortal and had to face the world largely on their own.

[Greed listens with great interest, and doesn't interrupt. He only speaks after Ryoji has stopped speaking.]

I think I've heard a little about that, from a religion that has largely fallen out of favor in Amestris. Bits and pieces of it are still followed; you can see it in my name, and the names of the other homunculi.

Gluttony, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride, and...Greed. Am I right?

That's right. Though, as far as I'm aware, there isn't currently a Lust, Sloth, or Wrath.

When... one of us dies, she just starts over with a new name.

[Which sort of implies any actual avarice on the part of Greed's personality is more or less a horrific defense mechanism.]

[ ... ]

Why would she do that?

Because we're replaceable.

[It sounds more like he's stating a fact than anything else.]

Every life is unique, valuable by it's existence alone. To create and treat it so haphazardly...it's no wonder humans call out for her presence.
