Week 5.

[trustfelling]

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. COMPETITORS REMAINING: 19

[her legs are pretty hard to beat, let's be real

Jean gives a long sigh. Not angry, but certainly exasperated.]

I'll be honest, I never know what the right thing is to do with bromides...

They're, uh, sort of a special under-the-table industry on Lunar. They're all candid portraits that get drawn of attractive and popular women. On one hand, it's sort of like a compliment. But some of them are a little lewd, and then there are the collectors...

I certainly didn't mind being away from them for a while.

[didntgetdadslooks]

I could keep them in my room, if you wanted. I room with Katniss, so I'm not usually in there, and there's already stuff I keep in there mostly so I don't have to see it and other people don't have to deal with it. And you'd know right where they are if you wanted them moved.

[oasisrose]

That could work, actually! They'd certainly be safer there than where any of the guys could find them. I mean, can you imagine if...

[She's about to make light at Inigo's weakness for women, and how even knowing these sorts of things exist could be dangerous to the poor man's blood pressure. But she started flipping through the bromides again, and stops on one.

No, not that one. The one where she's sparring with Hiro. You know, like pacifists do all the time. And of course, since he doesn't have a weapon in hand, the poor guy doesn't stand a chance.]

... say, Angel. How closely did you look at these?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Hm?

[Angel looks a little... confused.]

I got to the third one and decided it was time to get them to you before anyone else saw. Why?

[oasisrose]

[So she didn't see it. Relief floods Jean's heart. ... and then, feeling bad that she is relieved by it.

After what a liar their last murderer had been, Jean's hypocrisy has been nagging at her -- even moreso given that the only living people who know about her fighting skills are Juri and Terumi, and yet she's still reluctant to tell any of the people she actually trusts around here. And after Angel had shared so much about her own secrets, does Jean still intend to keep tight-lipped about hers?

Come to think of it, though, this is a good opportunity to start changing that.]


Well... if you're going to be holding onto them, you should know what's in them. No, actually, I want you to know what's in them. As thanks for telling me about these, and for keeping them safe in your room.

[She holds up the fourth one so Angel can see it clearly. A moment of Jean engaged in hand-to-hand combat. (And in relatively normal clothes, rather than the floofy dress she's been seen wearing around here.)]

And also because I want you to know -- if you're ever in trouble, you can always seek me out for help.

[You know. Like the kind of trouble one might run into during a murdergame, on rare occasions.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[... you know to be perfectly honest Angel sort of assumed the next step was tasteful underwear going by the progression, so she's mostly not. Sure what to say for a second. Then she smiles! No judgment here, Jean, she's fine with this.]

Will do. I only sort of know how to throw a punch, so... it's nice to know. Thank you.

[Hopefully there won't be trouble? Hahaha....]

[oasisrose]

[... well. There are some bromides... but anyway.]

Well, I could teach you a little more, if you wanted. [Although to be sort of honest, she's surprised Angel can even throw a punch...]

But my training would be a little intense. Even if I toned it down from how I learned it.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[She may not be able to do it well, but. She needed a way to get a little aggression out after uh. Bad Friend Thing.]

A little more would be nice. Even if it's not full capital-T Training.
