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

[OOC: Welcome to week four of Trustfell! Don't forget to save your threads for coins and the activity check, and don't forget to submit this week's activity check and memory regains!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Adjudicator, you can do so here!]

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

Oh my god.

[WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY IT?????? HE HADN'T REALIZED IT?????? WAS HE DESTINED TO BE THE FREEZING ALCHEMIST WAS THIS SOME SORT OF COSMIC JOKE AT HIS EXPENSE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HOLY SHIT]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Did you not know?

[HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST HAS NO ONE CALLED YOU VANILLA ICE-AAC BEFORE OR SOMETHING okay i mean i guess he's after your time but-]

I-I'll be careful from now on, okay?

[glaciates]

Of course I didn't! How many of them knew...!?

[oh my god everyone in the military knew, didn't they they've all been making fun of him this whole time—]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I'm sure it's not that bad! I mean it's a little awkward to work around the two syllable part, and I mean... a pun you don't hear can't hurt you, right?

[glaciates]

[his head is in his hands]

Why is it always puns. Why does it always have to be puns.

[didntgetdadslooks]

... I'm sorry I made you sad on pool day, Isaac.

[glaciates]

...I'll recover. Probably.

[s i g h]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Good. I mean hey, you're in your element, if you can't recover here where can you? [Well, his chemical compound, anyway, but she will hold her tongue on the rad science joke since technically it's a pun.]

[glaciates]

[SIGHS LOUDLY]

There's no escaping, is there.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Probably not. Water puns are kinda easy, since water's so important. But it's also a chemical compound, so that was only as much of a pun as you made it.

[SCIENCE.]

[glaciates]

Yeah, I know... Believe me, I know plenty about water.

[he is a magical chemist!!]

...I guess it also helped that we were in the desert. I was pretty damn useless there.

[HE WAS THE EASIEST TO PICK ON]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[... no, this situation doesn't call for a desert-er joke.]

Well, now we have a whole pool here! Even if some of us have to stick to the sides.

[glaciates]

[it's funny because that's literally what happened!!!!!]

Could you hang out in the shallow parts, or...?

[He's not entirely sure how that works with your metal parts there, um.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I mean... the metal stuff isn't an issue, that's all waterproof and fine. Future, remember?

[She looks down a little.]

I just don't know how to swim, that's all.

[glaciates]

Oh, is that all? It's not difficult at all!

[NOT EVERYONE IS WATER-ALIGNED ISAAC]

I can try to teach you, if you'd like. Though I'm not a very good teacher.

[Just ask Flemming! OH WAIT]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[I MEAN HEY THERE ARE PROBABLY WORSE POTENTIAL TEACHERS HERE??? And Angel is fairly clever.]

Really? Sure, I uh. Okay!

[And she will HOP INTO THE WATER since she made sure to be near the shallow end here. And then she beams, because she hasn't done this in years.]

It's so cold! [:DDD]

[glaciates]

You'll get used to it! Alright, so let's start with...

[...how the fuck do you teach someone to swim, i honestly have no idea

i am here for handwaving these lessons if that's fine with you!!]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[HANDWAVING WORKS FOR ME and then isaac taught her how to swim yaaaaay it probably didn't take very long Angel is good at retaining information

Also she is so hype about being able to swim. So hype.]

Angel one, water zero! Thanks, Isaac.

[glaciates]

[YES WE DID IT \o/]

You're a quick learner. I wasn't sure how long it'd take, but you've really taken to it!

[LIKE A DUCK TO WATER— he's not going to do that.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[QUACK QUACK]

Hey, don't sell yourself short, you're a pretty good teacher, too.

[glaciates]

I guess it's a little easier to teach than alchemy.

[He's grinning though, alright!]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I'm sure you could teach alchemy just fine, Isaac. Even if it is a little more complicated than swimming.

[glaciates]

I tried to teach William. It uh... didn't go very well.

[didntgetdadslooks]

I mean... it's probably hard to teach someone in a place where you can't really demonstrate, right? Like if I tried to teach you how to use the internet with a bunch of notebook paper and... I don't know, sock puppets.

[glaciates]

...I'm not sure how sock puppets would help, but uh, that seems to be about right.

Alchemy's also... I'm not really sure how to put it. I'm self-taught, mostly, so I didn't have someone to really teach me in any sort of typical lessons. And I guess I've got some natural talent for it, so the things that I found easy don't come so quickly to everyone. I think I'd have just as much trouble teaching someone back in Amestris.

[Probably? Hell if he knows, he never tried.]
