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

[ ... Ohhh. Katniss looks a little awkward here, like she doesn't know how to reply. But she does find the words, somehow. ]

I'm... sorry about that. It's just-- you remind me of someone. My-- my little sister. So I just reacted the way I would've with her, I guess.

[andneversaydie]

...Oh! Oh.

[...it takes her a second, but she laughs.]

No wonder it's kind of weirding me out here! Back in the village, I was kind of the unofficial big sister to all the other kids, so being treated like the little sister is kinda funny.

[flagitate]

[ Well, at least Mozu doesn't seem to upset now... but Katniss can't even offer a smile, weak or otherwise. ]

Yeah. [ Her throat is tight. ] If it bothers you-- I won't do it. Again.

[andneversaydie]

...

[...uh...]

Well, I always did kind of want an older sibling! Since I was kind of the big sister all the time.

[flagitate]

[ Mozu, you're going to make her cry here... but she does manage to smile. Just a bit. ]

I'm not the best big sister. [ She just does what she can, and it feels like it's never enough-- ugh, she has to stop thinking like that. Right. ] But I'd like to be that-- for you.

[andneversaydie]

...I mean, neither am I.

[...she didn't know if they were all dead, but...]

But... if you have someone to rely on, you can get through anything, right? Nobody's perfect, but even just being there is good enough.

[flagitate]

Yeah.

[ She doesn't follow up with almost anything because she doesn't want to sour the mood. ]

... Thanks. For being there. Not just for me, for everyone.

[andneversaydie]

Aw, it's nothing. I do what I can, you know?

[...]

I mean, being here... it's kind of like a little village, you know? Back home, we all... tried to look out for each other.

[flagitate]

I get what you mean.

[ Twelve isn't really like that, but where Mozu comes from sounds nice. ]

What's it like? Your home. If you want to talk about it.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, it was definitely a nice place. I mean, everyone knew everybody else... which was good and maybe a little bad, since you couldn't really have many secrets. But I don't think we really had that many, because we were busy working most of the time.

[flagitate]

Small's not bad. Did you get along with everyone pretty well?

[andneversaydie]

Wellll... I tried my best, but you're always gonna have someone you don't get along with. Sanshiro was the sort of guy who... seemed like he really wanted to be a city guy? But like, not the good kind of city guy.

[flagitate]

[ ... Yeah, she knows a couple of those. ]

I'm pretty sure I know what you mean. The kind of guy who's really obnoxious, right?

[andneversaydie]

...the kind of person who'd actually want to be Rideaux, basically.

[flagitate]

[ Yikes. ]

I can see why you had trouble with him.

[andneversaydie]

...yeah, he... was pretty unpleasant. He's the only one I can really think of, though.

[flagitate]

One guy out of a whole village, though? Sounds like you're doing pretty well.

[andneversaydie]

I never thought too hard about it, but you know... I guess that is a pretty good record.
