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

[So, uh... hey, Robert. Cilan peeks into the dining room, and when he notices the man and what he's doing, Cilan watches for a little while before he decides to do something he should have done at least three days ago.

And that is to approach the man--carefully, not too sudden and making sure the guy realizes we're here not by sneaking up on him, but approaching from a direction where he'll see us coming. Cilan's also got Stunfisk with him, which might help a little here in case the man suddenly stands to try to hit us before we can speak: we're not here to fight, after all.]

Excuse me, Mr. Robert? [Is that the proper way to address him, he's not sure.] May I speak with you for a moment?

[killedbyapig]

[he glances up briefly-- just to make sure that, even if this is a person here to murder him, he could definitely take them out easy-- and returns to his work.]

You may.

[cilantro]

[Okay, good, this is going alright so far. So now, Cilan will speak.]

I wanted to apologize regarding what happened during the previous trial. It's... well, thinking about the idea of harm being brought to Pokemon like that is just... a disgusting taste that can make us quick to anger sometimes, if we're honest here.

[Plus he was sort of in a general emotional state of "what the fuck" to begin with thanks to someone he trusted having been revealed as the culprit, but--]

Even so, I shouldn't have reacted the way I did toward you, and I'm sorry that it resulted in Archie punching you. Please accept my sincerest apologies, sir, I'll try to make sure something like that doesn't happen again.

[This is even accompanied by a formal, apologetic bow of the head, too.]

[killedbyapig]

[he listens quietly as Cilan speaks... and then, when he's done, merely grunts vaguely.]

Getting punched in the face was rather the highlight of my week, to be honest. [a slight grin.] You've got to understand that I wasn't asking for his poor beast to be executed; I was merely wondering if that would occur. The law works very differently here than it does where I'm from.

[cilantro]

I know... even so, I'm sorry for over-reacting the way I did.

[And now he turns his attention to what Robert's got in his hands here.]

What are you making?

[killedbyapig]

A flower crown. I'd a dream about a tourney recently, so it got me thinking about them. At the the end of each one, back home, whoever wins the joust gets to crown his queen of love and beauty with one very much like this.

[cilantro]

Ah, I see. [...Is it okay to ask this or would we be prying too much--]

Is there someone that you want to give one of these flower crowns to back home?

[killedbyapig]

[laughs] No, no. Hasn't been anyone like that for a good many years!

[cilantro]

[Oh. Well then--]

So you just felt like making one here?

[killedbyapig]

Well, it's a nice little reminder of home, I think. And it's given me something to do with my hands for today. [that isn't, y'know. murder.]

[cilantro]

Mm, that's true--if you wanted to, you could even teach others here how to make them, if they're not familiar with making flower crowns themselves.

[And then it will help keep everyone else busy with doing something aside from murder??]
