Week 4.

[trustfelling]

WEEK 4 Three more Competitors died this past week. Chitoge Kirisaki tried to take matters into her own hands only to be punished as a result while William Flemming and Archie both tried to take the Adjudicator up on his word and escape. Three more of you are gone, but there's no going back now. 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... Once again, another set of doors has opened up - this time at the end of the western corridor, leading up and toward the north. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it a reward for surviving another week. COMPETITORS REMAINING: 23

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

I'd hope it does help. [Naoto sits nearby, staring into the water] I'm worried about the other Pokemon Archie mentioned, especially because of how they'll react. It may be dangerous if they...don't take kindly all of us strangers finding them.

[meanttobe]

He actually left me a note for that. [Still in his board shorts, Brady taps his right pocket idly.] He said to let Sharpedo tell 'em. Long as they're opened up with him around, I think...well, they won't be dangerous.

[Just grieving.]

[fortunatedetective]

That's good.

[Sigh]

It's strange. Usually I don't really give much thought to the feelings of animals, but since Archie died I can't avoid thinking what we'll all do if anything happens to Cilan-kun or AZ-san. I'm not sure if you'd be able to take care of so many creatures...

[meanttobe]

Well, they're more than that. A-and, let's just not think like that, okay?

[He swallows.]

If we can explain it to them, anyway. Sharpedo...he understood what kind of situation we were in. So, we just have to hope that Cilan and AZ can explain...or their Pokémon.

[Sharpedo swims over towards them.]

[fortunatedetective]

...yes, I apologize for that. Pokemon are rather intelligent.

[Naoto waves at Sharpedo with a slight smile. You recognize her, buddy?]

Jean-san requested this pool, if I remember right, and I had requested books to read a couple weeks before the Library was open. Do you think there are other rooms we could request?

[meanttobe]

S'okay.

[Of course he does! He rumbles in response, though of course he seems down. Brady reaches into the water to scratch his head, carefully.]

Uh... I'd love to request an outside room, honestly. I tried asking if he had any TVs or something like that, but he said no? So maybe it is limited. ...Or maybe I just didn't word it right.

[fortunatedetective]

[Now that's a good shark. Sincere condolences for you, Sharpedo]

I guess the people behind this all want us to be completely isolated. There may be something about the outside world they don't want us to know about.

[That may be why the library only has fiction]

[meanttobe]

...You think? Like, there's something weird going on out there? [...wait] I mean, really weird, or bad?

[fortunatedetective]

It could be both.

[The worst things that happen are both weird and bad]

[meanttobe]

But...why would they keep it from us? Like, what do they gain? If something's awful out there, wouldn't that...make us wanna get out less?

[fortunatedetective]

...

[That's a good point. Naoto mulls it for a moment]

But then there'd be no game. It would go against what Juri-san or people above him have planned. They want us to kill each other. Staying here forever wouldn't make that happen.

[meanttobe]

So, we try to get out, thinking it's fine, and then...

[He trails off and just decides to pet Sharpedo.]

That'd...make sense, yeah. A really, really cruel kind of sense.

[fortunatedetective]

...if something happened out of this lodge then I hope we can manage to get out of this world, return to wherever we all came from.

[meanttobe]

If we were brought here, there's gotta be a way.

[And if he can figure out all the world-jumping back in his home...]
