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

[YEAH HE KNOWS THAT WAS KIND OF BAD but he figures she'll get it better if she has some frame of reference!!

...but okay a bunch of pirates playing court does sound fun, um.]

We don't really know why we're here. Maybe Juri's not looking for things to go quickly. Maybe he's looking at our reactions or maybe he just wants to see what'll happen when he picks us for individual reasons. Who knows? I don't know if anyone's asked him.

[innocentloveholic]

I don't know either... [ She certainly can't recall asking him about that exactly. ] If we have another of those meeting things this week, we should totally see what people have asked him about! At least when it comes to the game.

[ otherwise personal stuff can be kept out of it. ...even though she's a nosy person who'd def be down with gossip. ]

I've asked him about past games, but he wouldn't really tell me much, except that some of them were boring and he didn't like those.

[glaciates]

...I didn't really think about that before, but past games would make sense, wouldn't they? Huh...

[Definitely something to consider, at least!]

[innocentloveholic]

He oversees stuff like this all the time, apparently. All the "boring games" were full of dumb-dumbs.

[ ...FOR THE RECORD HE DID NOT CALL THEM DUMB-DUMBS, HE CALLED THEM STUPID PEOPLE, ALIGULA CALLS THEM DUMB-DUMBS. ]

[glaciates]

[HE FIGURES JURI WOULDN'T ACTUALLY CALL THEM THAT, YEAH......]

What, so we're the one interesting game he's had? What's so interesting about us—

[we are absolutely insane during trials]

...Never mind.

[innocentloveholic]

Oh, there's been other interesting ones! Which, yes, we're totally one of.

[ BECAUSE...... LOOK AT THEM..... are they even calm during the week. let's be real. ]

I thiiiink a lot of the interesting games are probably also ones that've managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of winning without anyone dying. [ That's—something she'll share with the class, actually. There's probably people who'd be happy to hear it.

Even if it's a little null and void now, considering all the deaths they've had. ...Considering this group would probably not have been able to manage it anyway, jesus christ we're a bunch of disasters. ]

[glaciates]

What? There have been games where no one died? Some group actually managed that?

[maybe it's just us??? nah it's probably everyone, who wouldn't resort to murder when locked in a pretty nice facility with no way out????]

[innocentloveholic]

[ it's definitely everyone, those losers are totally the odd ones out here ]

More than one! It's apparently more common than you'd think. [ ...but all those people are still totally the odd ones out, we're perfectly normal here ] I don't think we could've ever have pulled it off though.

[glaciates]

Definitely not. We've got a lot of crazy people here.

[...........probably shouldn't have said that]

Uh, I mean... Easily agitated people?

[did you even try, isaac]

[innocentloveholic]

You're right on both accounts!

[ .........apparently she's not counting herself under that so you're not in any danger, isaac. ]

I'm really surprised none of them have snapped and totally gone on a spree or something... Like Walty! [ although he seemed to have gone off the deep end of something at that trial, like wow. ]

[glaciates]

[. . .]

Honestly, I'm surprised he hasn't snapped too. He seems like the sort, you know? Apparently he's a chemist, so I wouldn't be surprised if he knew a lot of ways to fuck someone up.

[aligula you totally get him through right]

[innocentloveholic]

[ bruh she's totally got you ]

I think his pride's keeping him from doing anything right now. Something-something-"I don't want to play by the Adjudicator's rules"-something. [ ... ] Not doing anything at all is teeechnically doing that though, right? Rule One.

But I guess he means like, winning by the Adjudicator's rules. [ ... ] But I totally want to see him kill someone! It'd probably be in some like, really cool way! Like blowing them to chunks!

[glaciates]

Aligula...

[PLEASE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT IT'S GROSS]

But yeah, I can kinda get that. Who would want to play the Adjudicator's game? Walter just seems like the guy who's going to snap and try to kill us all or something.

[innocentloveholic]

[ BUT IMAGINE IT. ]

There's a ton of reasons why someone'd want to play, Glacial, but I guess the risk outweighs the reward for most people!

[ ...i hate that my gagtag could probably be a legit tag i'm sorry redd ]

[glaciates]

[i cannot believe u]

...As they should? Who the hell would want to risk death so they can kill someone? I get that we're in a shitty situation and he keeps offering us rewards for killing but... it's taking someone's life, that's...

[Fucked Up and fucking him up from the sound of it!!]

[innocentloveholic]

[ u've been playing with me this long now, can u really not believe me ]

People do it all the time, Glacial. [ very nonchalantly; her city is fucked up and it's a wonderful place to live, thanks for asking. ] And if they think they can get away with it, well, even more of a reason for them to go for it, right?

[glaciates]

[...no but still!!!]

They don't do it all the time where I'm from.

[Aligula's weird, but it seems to be because she was from such a different place. As much as he hates the idea of people killing for very little reason, apparently that's just how things are where she's from.]

It's something I find disgusting.

[innocentloveholic]

[ :3c ]

It's life! [ ... ] Do people just die of old age and sickness and stuff where you're from then?

[glaciates]

Unless they're soldiers, yeah. I'm not going to say everywhere is peaceful and I know there are people who are fucked up enough to kill out there, but it's not something most Amestrians would want to do.

[innocentloveholic]

[ Huh. ]

How... peaceful? [ wait, let's use alignments— ] Lawful. Orderly! My home's more on the chaos side of things, thooough there's totally people who try and keep the peace too.

[ they're great haha ]

Even in the Beyond, I mean! Not just Hellsalem's Lot. [ granted i imagine the peace-keeping there might be more violent than normal still, given how HLC is anyway, but not the... point?? i guess??? ]

[glaciates]

Lawful... yeah, I guess you could call it that.

[Something about that strikes him as strange, but Isaac can't place it immediately and ignores it.]

You know, I don't think I ever asked what the place you're from is actually like.

[innocentloveholic]

It's a city where anything can happen. [ said very fondly, and you know, that might be a good thing but— ] Where people from all walks of life mingle! Beyondians mostly, a good handful of humas, and other creatures that no one wants to speak of...

[ heeheehee. ]

Ooh, Beyondians—which is what I am!—are from the Beyond, obviously~! There's tons of different types, from cyclops [ her, probably ] to ones that look like skeletons, mushrooms, things that are totally out of those science fiction movies humas like to watch... Three years ago, a hole totally opened up and we all paraded into the huma city known as New York City!

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

Or something like that~! I mean, it totally wrecked some of our stuff too, I'm pretty sure? But the humas definitely got the brunt of it. They're such fragile little creatures... [ ...right. ] Humas are what you are! A lot of people here are humas, actually, with a few exceptions. Like Idealistic!

[ and. others. she's not gonna talk about. ]

Anyway, it got a name change to Hellsalem's Lot City, for whatever reason, and it's total chaos, like I said! There's explosions and crime—it totally happens so fast, the news can't stay on one chase scene for longer than a couple of minutes before it has to get a move on! OF course, we kings don't really have that problem... Femt has a bunch of televisions in his place, and we watch the city from there most of the time!

Most of the time. [ Important. ] Some of us like to go out and do stuff, and that's sometimes sorta entertaining to watch... I remembered taking one of my monster trucks out for a spin recently—it's like, super handy! Because it's a hand! It can totally punch too, it's super awesome—to grab my man back, but he totally pushed harder than me and my truck got destroyed... Me and that All Seeing Eyes boy I was keeping for company went flying, too.

[ :T ]

[glaciates]

[...............................

why did he ask]

That sounds uh... um.

[g-give him a moment...]

Interesting. Yeah. Interesting.

[o h m y g o d]

[innocentloveholic]

[ you asked about homestuck, essentially. ]

There's always something happening, that's for sure! [ i am pretty sure black said something to this effect last round too but aligula is about 200% more enthusiastic about it. ] I hear humas call it a bunch of other names too, like "The Magic Sealed City" and "The City of Miracles"...

[glaciates]

"Miracles", huh...?

[THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NIGHTMARE??? BUT OKAY GUYS, SURE.]

Well, uh... you sound very fond of it.
