trustfelled | Week 5.

WEEK 5
With the deaths of AZ, Brady Russell, McKenzie Mitchell, and Walter White, it's probably starting to feel less crowded around here, isn't it? But there isn't going to be a break from your situation - a new day in here should remind you of that. Two people were murdered in an attempt to escape and one had Juri's help to take his own life. How many more will die this week?

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...

Checking the rules when you wake up will reveal that there's been a rule change; another reminder of things you've lost, and things you may have yet to lose.

Of course, with the start of a new week, another set of doors has opened up - once again, they can be found in the western corridor, jutting downwards toward the south. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; after the weekend's trial, you probably deserve it.

[ ... ]

You actually think that was enough for someone like him?

...Why wouldn't it be? Does he really expect more from us? None of us are as crazy as Walter.

[isaac look at everyone in this murdergame jfc]

[ You know Isaac, he was trying really hard for a second to be somewhat serious.]

Fufu...hahahahahhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[s i g h]

Alright, alright, it was a stupid question, I get it. You don't have to laugh so hard.

[ Well he hasn't laughed this hard since Walter stabbed Fern so thanks for that.]

That old geezer hardly qualifies as an opening act.

Who the hell do you think is going to put on a show like that?

[He probably shouldn't have phrased it like that, but he doesn't correct himself.]

Izzy, did you know I played guitar?

...No? What does that have to do with what we're talking about?

Nothing~.

[ So back to that!]

The old geezer was a man who already broke before, right? When he was sick and needed money and all that sad, sad story he told us. I guess it wasn't bad and all, and he was desperate here too to save his car wash legacy! But it would have been better if he broke here. [ Cause like, when people break for the first time? Ahh there are no words to it. Walter was OK, but nothing he hasn't seen before.]

[THEN WHY DID YOU BRING IT UP???]

So you're saying the Adjudicator wants to see someone else break, someone who's never been willing to do terrible things before. Someone like...

[There are plenty of people he could mention, but ultimately he doesn't want to choose any of them. Instead Isaac shakes his head.]

I guess I can understand that. It'd be new and different, something he couldn't possibly expect no matter how much he knows about us. That'd explain why he's giving us motives too - they're designed to hit as many people as they can at once, that's why they're kind of vaguely worded sometimes.

[That's fucked up, but it's the sort of fucked up that actually makes some sort of sense when he thinks about it.]

[ :> ]

Right, right. Didn't you see how some people reacted to it? [ Some of the more adamant people actually had a real reaction this time, it was interesting. Too bad Terumi has 1 friend who he doesn't really care about, oh well~.]

[terumi don't be rude isaac is the best friend to have!!!!]

Yeah. If he's looking at reactions as well, something that'll rile everyone up like that would be ideal.

[...]

This motive is perfect for that, isn't it? Most people aren't going to want their friends to be pulled into a game like this, so killing someone to ensure it won't happen... that's doable. There are weapons in that machine and even if you haven't gotten one, there are plenty of other things around that could be used as weapons... And if you're not capable of killing someone with physical force, Walter's already showed us a way to do it with poison.

[Not everyone is as paranoid as Isaac is, so another poisoning isn't out of the question.]

He's really got this all planned out, huh? So what the hell is the next motive going to be?

[ Well his only friend so he really should BUT-]

Maybe something I'd give a shit about? [ Then he laughs, because he's joking.]

[s i g h]

Come on, I'm trying to take this seriously and you're throwing shitty jokes like that around?

[...that was a joke, wasn't it...

also he totally doesn't look amused shhhh]

[

Terumi grins because see, this is why they're "friends".]

Fine, fine. This motive does hit those hero-types pretty hard though~. As for the next one, who knows? I doubt there's a motive that'll affect everyone.

[ Because Terumi is so far removed from normal.]

Edited 2016-08-04 19:45 (UTC)

It hits most people pretty hard.

[He is not a hero type and he's being hit pretty hard!!

(Which is dumb, Kimblee would absolutely be okay in a murdergame.)]

But I think you're right. There isn't something that'll hit everyone. All he needs to do is find something that'll hit the most vulnerable people though.

You're worried about who he'd take for you? [ As to the rest, he nods.]

...I think my family would probably be okay. I don't think any of them would be all that interesting for him.

[they're also entirely headcanon, they're safe]

Kimblee though... He'd like Kimblee. I think Kimblee would probably be alright, but I wouldn't inflict this on anyone, especially not someone I like.

Kimblee your partner or something?

What? No!

[OH MY GOD HE IS SO NOT INTO KIMBLEE DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING FERID TOLD YOU]

He's just— He's not even a friend! He's just another State Alchemist! Or uh, he was. I don't know if he still is.

I didn't mean that idiot, I meant business partner. [ But now the thoughts in his head!]

If he's not important, why would Juri take him?

[...son of a bitch]

Um. No, he's not. But he's uh... I guess he's the closest thing I have to a friend?

[goddamn he has no friends]

[ Smug smile.]

I thought we were friends Izzy~. [ But uh he kind of gets it.]

You didn't think Relius was my lover or something did you?

No, I didn't. But I can't actually see you finding stuff like that interesting.

[l-listen his relationship with kimblee is Complicated]

[ Good because then he probably would have tried to kill you Isaac.]

I don't, I'm glad you know me so well.

If this guy is nothing you wouldn't have reacted the way you did, you know~.
