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

No problem! I'll take great care of it. [ because this thing is ancient and still looks good

just like ferid

wow. ] Draw me your old flame! I want to see how cute he was.

[seventhprogenitor]

[He can do that. The lines of Crowley's face are as familiar as ever, to his mind's eye, but it'll still take a little while before the light sketch of a handsome young man appears, the rosary clutched in one hand.

It's not a face he's seen in what'll be a month at the end of the week. It's not an expression he's seen in eight hundred years. Ferid sets the pencil aside and puts the canvas on its easel, taking the palette up again and redoing the paints. Blues, reds, and black have the biggest spots.]

There wasn't a woman who could refuse his looks, [fond as can be,] and yet he seemed as celibate as any other. A man firm in his ideals, who could hold his liquor well, and hated war more than anything else... despite the fact that it had made him a hero in the first place.

[innocentloveholic]

[ God, Ferid was head-over-heels for the dude.

And she can't really blame him, he's pretty good-looking. ]

What a serious face! [ They were at least an 18 together. 20, if she's feeling generous. ] Was he as fond of you as you totally still are of him?

[seventhprogenitor]

[Laughter threatens to break the Touching Mood they have going and he lets it, shaking his head.]

Oh, no, that man hated my guts by the end of it~! He followed me simply because I had leads and he had duties. But we were friends, mm. I'd say we would be even to this day.

[... They totally are. They so, so are.]

[innocentloveholic]

Too bad he couldn't live as long as you. [ .........actually, ] Hey, Feriiid, do you mind if I ask how you've lived so long? If you've had normal huma lovers and friends and stuff like that.

[seventhprogenitor]

[...]

Good genes, of a kind.

[The line he's used on everyone. It's not untrue at this point anyway. It mutates them.]

[innocentloveholic]

You can just say you're not a huma, you know. I mean, I'm totally not! The Adjudicator isn't! Eternal... isn't?

[ .................. ]

Anyway, it's not like we've got any shortage of them. Be honest with me, Ferid!

[seventhprogenitor]

[... Suppose that the non-human would know a non-human when she sees one. Their host definitely isn't human.

Ferid considers it for a moment, then untucks his ears. They're long and pointed.]

You're right, I'm not. I haven't told anyone else among our peers -- as pleasant as everyone's been, humans don't tend to take kindly to creatures unlike themselves. Though they've been kind enough so far to only ask about my age, not my eyes.

[Isn't... Isn't red eyes strange in most places? Or is it well-enough that he looks human?]

I will say that our larger than life friend is human, though. He simply made a mistake in the past and is facing the consequences for it.

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...oooooh, ears. ooh, honesty! ]

Idealistic has pointy ears too. [ Just putting that out there. ] They've been totally cool with the rest of us, buuuut... if you're scared they're not gonna take it well, then that's okay. I'm like, super honored to be the only one who knows! [ ...outside of the Adjudicator, probably.

But anyway, red eyes are totally normal—or... they're not unwholly uncommon in her eye, but she's also from Cantina New York, so whatever. ] But ooh, Eternal's the atoning type... Okay. So there's just...

You, me, the Adjudicator, and Idealistic! I think that's all? That aren't like, strictly huma. Tenacious T seems pretty weird, especially with his whole fighting-vampires-and-werewolves thing, but I'm pretty sure he's a huma? Edifying's totally difficult to place, but she's... probably a huma, too.

[seventhprogenitor]

Fighting vampires and werewolves, hmm? How interesting.

[Someone to Stay The Fuck Away From, probably, as confident as he is in not dying.]

But-- thank you. It means very much to me that you'd keep my secret, as silly as it may be~. I'll tell them when we're all a little closer.

[He's just gonna tuck his ears back!! Good.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ yeah stay away from terumi that's her awful associate she's tricking into enjoying her company via boiled eggs

...she looks a little disappointed for a second, or as. disappointed as someone with a mask over half their face can look. a total pout? it disappears though, and she just sort of. pats his arm lightly. ]

Of course. I'd totally trust you to keep any secrets I told you, if I had any to tell!

[seventhprogenitor]

[That gets him to laugh.]

What a shameless woman~! Have you really no secrets at all, Aligula?

[innocentloveholic]

No important ones! [ not like his. ] It pays to be an open, honest individual, you know?

[seventhprogenitor]

Of course! People trust you more if you're like that. I try to be as honest as I can when I'm asked, but sometimes the right questions just don't come up.

[innocentloveholic]

What kinda questions are the right ones?

[seventhprogenitor]

Direct ones.

[... That doesn't exactly answer her question but it's something like a start.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ ........... ]

You're as bad as the Adjudicator. Has anyone ever told you that?

[seventhprogenitor]

No one but you~.

[innocentloveholic]

I'm totally surprised, with how everyone doesn't like you or him! [ wow aligula ] I don't have any questions for youuu though, not right now, so you're totally off the hook.

[seventhprogenitor]

I suppose they must either like me more than they like him or the opposite, then. I think it's something of an honor.

[He's as stupidly avoidant of answering things just like Juri!!! Wow. Juri's good, then.]

[innocentloveholic]

I don't know if that's saying much, to be honest.

[ she's so kind. ]
