Week 3.

[trustfelling]

WEEK 3 The end of the second week sees two more people dead, and two more rooms sitting empty in the dormitories. Nephenee and Rideaux Zek Rugievit are both gone, but with the start of the third week, it looks as though the game will continue on without them. 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... Meanwhile, it looks like another set of doors have opened up at the end of that southern hallway, leading to another long corridor stretching out to the east. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; you've earned it, after all. COMPETITORS REMAINING: 26

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[He slumps and the book hits the shelf with a loud thump.]

Can we just ignore the fact that we ran into each other in this section?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Brady, I would love nothing more.

[She looks around. Well, no one in earshot.]

I'll tell you why I'm here if you tell me why you are.

[meanttobe]

Uggh, fine, deal.

I'm...trying to get an idea of what love feels like, 'cause I think I like a girl like that.

[Saying it just straight out, that feels a lot better!]

It's not. Helping.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Well hey, at least you have a reason. I'm just here because I don't have a great idea what the whole love thing is like in general. In... practice, anyway.

[She smiles.]

I'm glad that you have someone you like, though. Is she here?

[Oh god is it her? All logic says it probably isn't her but please say it isn't her the thought just crossed her mind and now it won't go. And please don't be Chito- huh that's a weird thought...]

[meanttobe]

[internal screaming]

Uhhh, yes? And it is about- five kinds of complicated, 'cause of. Weird dreams, uh. [Glances around like she's gonna pop up out of nowhere.] I remember loving Mack. At least I think that's what it was? I've never...not, like that.

But, here it's- I didn't remember it 'til last night. And she's... So, it's complicated.

[this is leaving out the whole movie characters thing, because he doesn't even completely understand that and he knows when not to sound crazy]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[Well that sure is a thing.]

Uh... huh. I mean, some people think the dreams are memories we lost. Maybe it's just that?

[meanttobe]

I know they're memories. [Strong conviction there.] They just... There's something odd going on with them I can't figure out, and she's... [He shrugs.] She's kind of pushing it all away anyway.

What I wanna- I just wanna figure out if...that's what I was feeling. ...Am feeling? However it happened, whatever happened. That's kind of what matters most right now.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Right. Well... I honestly don't know what to make of that, Brady, sorry.

[It's not like double amnesia is a thing that happens to people, duh.]

I don't know what being in love or forgetting about being in love is like.

[meanttobe]

[He flashes a smile.] It's fine. I mean, you're definitely not the only one. Who's confused, or, who's got problems figuring that out... What brought this curiosity on, anyway? Did you just wanna figure out what all the fuss is about?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Aligula sells it pretty well, what can I say? And I mean... it's not really something I've ever thought about as a possibility, even, so. I guess that's it.

[There certainly isn't anything else nagging at her, nope. Nothing. Haha.]

[meanttobe]

Ohhh. Yeah, 'cause... All the things from back home?

[He doesn't know a lot of the things, but he did get the idea from the trial she's been leaving a few of them out!]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Yep. And I mean... if I did like someone, I'd want to know. You know? There's no guarantee that I would. As it is.

[meanttobe]

Ha, yeaah, I can relate there. [Little forced grin.] ...You know, maybe we should talk to someone about this whole thing. People 'round here, someone's gotta have some good advice...?

[...besides Aligula.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I... maybe?

[How do you even say to someone "I think I had a doki but I'm not sure" like what advice could you even get-]

I mean there's always Aligula.

[DON'T YOU TRUST ALIGULA, BRADY?]

[meanttobe]

[THE BRACKETS JUST SAID BESIDES ALIGULA COME ON GIRL-]

Someone else. [To clarify:] I like Aligula, but- I don't think she's the first person I'd go to on romance advice?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Really? [SHE LEGITIMATELY DID NOT CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY.] Hm... Isaac's probably not good for that, uh... is anyone here married?

[meanttobe]

That...is a pretty good question. [Dang. Hm.] I think I saw Luca had a wedding ring? But it might've just been a normal ring...

[didntgetdadslooks]

Hm... maybe Ferid? I mean if nothing else he's, you know... really old. Or Jean? The profiles said Flemming has a daughter but I don't know him very well, and I know Walter has a family, but... he doesn't seem like the type to go to for this.

[meanttobe]

Hmmm, Ferid's my dude, but you know, he also wants to date Juri? Flemming seems alright but I don't know him well either, and... Jean, maybe.

[He snaps as a sudden thought comes to him.]

Fern! She's got a kid too, maybe she's got a good point of view.

[...well you can try]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I mean if nothing else she's pretty... momly.

[Angel that's not a word.]

Couldn't hurt to ask if we see her around, I guess.

[meanttobe]

Yeah. [Nods. Nods again. Nods once more, for good measure.]

...So, uh. Good luck? [And we will never speak of this again?]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[A firm nod.]

Good luck, Brady.
