Week 2.

[trustfelling]

WEEK 2 With the deaths of Sayaka Maizono and Mallick Scott the first week draws to a close. While you all have varying opinions on what happened and who was to blame, one thing's for sure: the Adjudicator isn't messing around. 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. 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... However, those weird dreams aren't the only new thing around here; those massive double doors on the southern wall of the foyer have opened up, leading down another hallway and ending in what looks like another corridor to the west. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done. Or perhaps for just playing the game. COMPETITORS REMAINING: 28

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[Well, that sure was a thing! It's not terribly surprising that Juri would take action, he guesses. Sooner or later things would probably even out. People who might be willing to take a risk could lose big, and eventually there's no one left.

After the whole announcement shindig is over, Archie wanders off to have lunch in the dining room. Lately he's used to grunts fetching his lunches for him. One of the perks of being the boss and all that; anyway, he's got more important things to do. Still, he lived by himself plenty before that, and while he's no Cilan he can make a pretty mean sandwich. There's more of them sitting on a nearby platter, if anybody wants one.

Later on he walks around some, before eventually settling down in the game room to flip through some of the books there. They don't seem to be grabbing his attention too well, but it's something to do.]

Game Room

[greenmamabear]

[Distractions are great and she needs one.]

Anything grabbing your interest?

[rainofterror]

Naaaaaaah, too many numbers. How're you supposed to keep track of all this long enough to play the game?

[And yet here he is, still reading it. Sigh.]

dining room

[oasisrose]

[Oh, hey. She remembers this guy. Their podiums were side by side during the trial, weren't they? Unfortunately, the trial hadn't been the best place to get to know one another. Not unless you happen to enjoy bonding over murders and betrayal.]

[Sandwiches are a much more pleasant subject. Especially since he's building a pile of them.]

Wow. Were you planning on eating all of those?

[rainofterror]

[Yeah, that was not...not a good time. At all.]

'Course not! You want one?

[oasisrose]

Oh, certainly! Don't mind if I do!

[And no, she's not going to wimp out and take, like, a tiny little quarter of a sandwich. She is going to take the whole sandwich, darn it. Watching your figure is for people who don't keep active.]

[Before she digs in, though, she eyes it with curiosity.] What'd you put on these, anyway?

[rainofterror]

Eggplant, some cheese and herbs 'n stuff. I don't eat meat...and even if I did, I don't know what any of the stuff in there came from. [What is a "beef"]

[oasisrose]

Huh, really? You know, if someone had asked me who was a vegetarian among us, I can't say you would've been my first guess. I mean, you look like someone who has a hearty, meaty diet.

[To mime out what she means, she picks up the sandwich as if it were a hand weight, and flexes a bicep. The poofy sleeve is covering it, though, so it's hard to see how much muscle is under there.]

[rainofterror]

[No worries, he gets it! Archie laughs.]

I'm surprised more people here aren't! It's pretty common back home!

dining room

[poultryfists]

Heeey, free food!

[That's all she says before strolling on over and taking one of those extra sandwiches. She's here for this!]

How's it going, Archie?

[Buddy, pal, maker of black eyes-]

[rainofterror]

[YEEEEEEEEAH FREE FOOOOOOOOD]

Keepin' busy! All anyone can do in this place - humans weren't meant to sit inside this much. How 'bout you? Eye doin' alright?

[poultryfists]

It's seen better days, but eye'm sure it's gonna be fine.

[Yang.]

It would be nice if we had somewhere we could run around or something, wouldn't it?

[It's boring--!]

[rainofterror]

[Archie snorts at the pun, because this is the level of humor we're operating at I guess.]

I was just sayin' that! I'd rather have a half-decent gym than any of this stuff. Or a pool. [Shocking, the guy wants some more water] Bad enough bein' stuck inside all day. We oughta be able to at least get some exercise!

dining room

[andneversaydie]

[Mozu is definitely perturbed by the motive, but... she really can't say no to a good old fashioned sandwich, especially since they're actually kind of a novelty to her at this point.]

Oh... are these for everyone, Archie?

[...because she should ask before scarfing it down.]

[rainofterror]

[why bother, no one else has]

'Course, help yourself! I ain't Cilan, but he shouldn't have to do all the cookin'.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, no, I agree! I really need to get on some cooking myself. I actually made some pretty good fried potatoes the other day, so I can probably start making other stuff I'm used to, too.

[She will go ahead and take a sandwich, then!]

I mean, Cilan obviously really likes it, but that's still a lot of work for one guy.

[rainofterror]

Yeah! I know he's used to it, workin' in a restaurant and all, but this ain't the same thing. We oughta share the work as long as we're all stuck in here together. Doesn't make for the best team spirit and all.

Not that I'm used to cookin' for this many. We oughta get together and cover the dinner shift sometime!

[andneversaydie]

Don't restaurants usually have more than one person working at them, anyway? At least, that's what I've heard. The poor guy needs a staff of some kind.

[rainofterror]

Oh, sure, they've got whole teams of chefs back there! He said he owned it with his brothers...he's probably the head honcho of the kitchen. Sure hasn't lost his touch at the grunt work though! [He respects that.]

game room

[cilantro]

[Well hey, it's like we said before, boredom sucks for Pokemon trainers to have to contend with, so...]

What are you reading?

[rainofterror]

[Archie flips the book over to review the cover.]

"Werebear: The Reckoning". Some kinda dice game, I guess? Not sure how you make one with this many rules, t'be honest, but it's somethin'.

[cilantro]

[Huh]

I must admit, I don't think I've ever heard of a game with that kind of title before.

[rainofterror]

Nah. Definitely not. Looks like an Ursaring on the cover, but apparently those're "bears". [Which is different? He guesses?] It's got too many numbers to be fun anyway. Who wants to worry about all that just to play a game?

[cilantro]

I see... [what the fuck is a werebear though, are they different from regular bears] In that case, have you tried looking at some of the board games here? They seem like they don't have too many rules to them, depending on which one you decide to play.

[rainofterror]

You lookin' to play somethin'?

[See, he was sort of chilling in here by himself. Which is not conducive to game playing unless you're real into solitaire.]
