Week 5.

[trustfellowship]

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

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Comments

[ For someone walking around after a motive announcement, QQ's mood seems to be as buoyant as it was starting Monday.

While she'll stop by the sewing room to grab cloth for Project Coda, it'll be easier to spot her near the vending machines, examining her haul. While she won't give away anything that could serve as a weapon (like the crowbar), she's willing to trade pretty much everything else for whatever catches her eye. Mikoto has dibs on the alcohol though, just saying.

Later on, she can be found in the conference room, doodling a map of the entire unlocked area so far on the blackboards with chalk. People might find this out because her humming can be heard if they're looking for books or something near the back of the library. ]

vending machine

[crywiththesaints]

We really ought to have a meetup to trade all this rubbish.

[positivespin]

That's a good idea! Plus, some of us might have gotten someone else's stuff. Like how Lovecraft got some of QQ's clothes.

[crywiththesaints]

I got a swimsuit, a pair of ripped pants, and a thong today.

[positivespin]

Guess that means none of it is something Auntie Kashima would wear? If it helps, QQ got weird armor and a very fuzzy scarf.

[crywiththesaints]

You're correct about that. Thongs, really?

[positivespin]

Sure some other people around here can wear it. QQ would.

[ Shame, what shame? ]

[crywiththesaints]

You'd wear underpants from a prize machine.

[positivespin]

After it's cleaned.

[ Is that really the problem here... ]

vending machine!!!

[preciousking]

[ That's a lot of stuff. The coins are still something of a mystery to him, but seeing some of her loot (he 100% eyed the bottle that came out) inspires to him to, again, put some of his coins into the machine.

He sidesteps her and shoves one coin into the machine. More will come later, but for now... out pops an empty beer can.

...

Is this a joke? ]

[positivespin]

Ohh... Why even put an empty one in there?

[ That's just cruel--to give hope like that only to dash it! Why, vending machine, why? ]

[preciousking]

To mess with us, maybe.

[ He wishes he could say this is the first time he's gotten something shitty from the vending machine (is it personally spiting him, is that what this is?), but, alas. It isn't. Mikoto tries not to remember the time he got half a pack of cigarettes from it.

He fails.

Then he picks up the can and glares at... a wall? Generally sort of around because he's trying to convey, "knock it the hell off, Transmitter." ]

[positivespin]

Sounds about right.

[ Why else would anyone do that? To be sadistic.

Anyhow, she does feel sympathetic. Bad luck sucks. While QQ may not be a big drinker, she knows it would irk anyone to pull that from the machine, especially today. So as someone largely unaffected by the motive (at least that's what she says), maybe she can make an offer to help. ]

Do you want some of this alcohol? QQ probably can't drink entire bottle alone.

[preciousking]

[ He turns his head towards QQ perhaps a touch too quickly. While his expression isn't any different from normal, the swiftness should clue QQ into, yeah. Yeah he does. If he has a favorite drink, that's definitely it.

A little embarrassed by this, he looks away from her and closes his eyes. ]

... If you don't mind.

[positivespin]

[ Don't worry, Mikoto, she won't tell anyone about your secret love for Wild Turkey! ]

No problem at all! Umm...any preference for time and place? Dining hall sounds good to QQ. Can make snacks.

[ Heck, if he has time, she's cool with going drinking right now. Not like she has anything super pressing to do besides her usual explorations. ]

[preciousking]

I'm free now, but you don't gotta go through the trouble of making anything. ... Actually, it might be a good idea for you to head to the hall first.

I'll bring what we need.

[ Since it's technically her bottle he might as well do that much. ]

[positivespin]

Sounds interesting! Okay, will head there after dropping off the rest of this. See you there, Mikoto!

[ She'll gesture to the pile of weird vending machine stuff she got before sorting it in a way she can easily carry with the carry-on bag. Next stop, her room! ]

Conference Room

[heritrix]

[Late tagging up in here; Rin's often been in the library since last Thursday, and it's as she's cataloguing the books that she hears QQ's humming. With a hand pressed against the doorway of the conference room, Rin first notes the other girl's presence before she sees the blackboard.]

Is that the hospital?

[Referring to the map.]

[positivespin]

Mmhm, the hospital! QQ thought it would be useful if we had meeting in here.

[ Right now it's pretty barebones, but she plans to draw in more stuff once the size difference between the rooms looks right enough. ]

[heritrix]

Yusuke would be proud. I don't know if he kept up his map.

[positivespin]

It would be good to compare! Yusuke is much better at drawing than QQ, to say the least. Getting the size right would be easy for him.

[heritrix]

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure where it ended up at.

[Is his room unlocked? Maybe they should check. But Rin keeps her attention on QQ's map for now.]

The layout is still so odd.

[positivespin]

[ QQ doesn't know either, so she'll just focus on the next comment instead. ]

It really is. From pattern so far, QQ guessed the next area would be to the right of the chapel. [ She points to the aforementioned blank area here. ] Not here. [ This time she'll point to the very left of the map. ] But if this place is same size on both sides, then there is likely another area to the very right.

[ Now she takes two steps back to peer at the map. ]

Was hoping drawing it out like this would show a connection.

[heritrix]

[Rin comes a little closer, to stand beside her.]

They have hospitals in your world, right QQ? [Or at least places of healing.] What do they look like?

[positivespin]

Definitely not like this one! They're usually much taller. QQ's surprised we haven't seen stairs to other floors yet.

[ Maybe the Risen have dibs on them and are monitoring from there? Except that thought is as creepy as the Demonic Spear Assassin's face. ]

Also, every inch of it is related to medicine. Definitely wouldn't find art rooms or the, uh, arcade. Is that normal in other worlds?
