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

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ DO YOU WANNA WATCH, ISAAC ]

I got some stuff from home, too. [ ... ] Well. I mean. I got one thing, and Rideaux and Cilan got some other stuff.

[glaciates]

[HE'S MORE OF AN ICE GUY BUT HELL YES]

Yeah, Brady got one of my uniforms, but otherwise...

[Well, otherwise it's been chalk and a file that kind of fucked with his head until he decided that those weird dreams are actually memories, which is still fucking with his head! Good times.]

What did you get from home?

[flagitate]

[ ... you know what this is kind of weird without context but you know what ]

A loaf of bread. Rideaux got a p-- primrose. Cilan got this. [ She taps her mockingjay pin. ]

[glaciates]

[He notices the hesitation there, but he decides not to mention it. Yikes.]

...A loaf of bread is something important to you?

[. . .]

I guess I can't talk, I've gotten some chalk and that's pretty important to me.

[flagitate]

[ ....... ]

It's a long story, I guess. But it's the same kind of bread that saved my life, so...

[glaciates]

...Yeah, I can see where that'd be pretty damn important to you.

[He kind of wants to ask, but he'll refrain.]

[flagitate]

Yeah. So, chalk? What's that about?

[glaciates]

It's for drawing arrays. I don't remember getting this tattoo, but I used to carry chalk around all the time in case something happened to my gauntlet. Chalk's the easiest to use, though arrays can be drawn in just about anything.

[Including blood!!]

[flagitate]

Oh, right. Your alchemy.

[ Hm. ]

You'll probably remember getting it within a couple of weeks.

[glaciates]

Yeah. Eventually things'll make sense and I'll know why I thought this was necessary.

[i mean there's masochism and then there's getting a tattoo on you palm]

[flagitate]

So you could have something cool to show off?

[ ... haha. cool. ]

[glaciates]

[groan......]

My alchemy's already cool enough as it is.

[IT'S THE SHITTIEST PUN, BUT HE'S GONNA SAY IT ANYWAY]

[flagitate]

[ don't groan at me isaac ]

I think it'd be pretty neat to see sometime. Somehow.

[glaciates]

Yeah. Hopefully my alchemy will work again once we're out of here. I'd definitely like to show it off. I said I would.

[...to Rideaux. It feels like it was so long ago that he promised to teach him alchemy.

But dwelling on that isn't going to get him anywhere, so he forces himself to continue.]

My alchemy's a huge part of my identity, so the sooner I get that back, the better.

[Fingers crossed he hasn't lost it forever!!]

[flagitate]

I get what you mean. If I couldn't use my archery skills for some reason, I'd feel like a part of me was missing.

[glaciates]

I guess you're pretty fond of the shooting range then, huh? Isn't archery pretty difficult?

[He doesn't know much about Katniss's world so maybe this is something common there, but why use bows when you could have GUNS.]

[flagitate]

Yeah. I go there in the mornings. And it's not hard for me. I've been doing it for years, and I used to do it pretty much every day back home.

[glaciates]

Do a lot of people practice archery where you're from?

[flagitate]

Only if they want to get arrested or publicly whipped.

[ ... okay. ]

[glaciates]

[kinky......?????]

So why's it forbidden?

[flagitate]

It's a control thing. We hunt, we're less likely to sign up for the food they're gracious enough to give us, and we're less likely to get our names into the Reaping more than once.

[ ... nevermind that she put her name in for the tesserae as much as she could anyway... ]

Or something like that.

[glaciates]

...What's the Reaping?

[This sounds pretty Fucked Up but you know what, he is here for Fucked Up today.]

[flagitate]

It's a special day where kids ages twelve to eighteen get their names in a drawing. One girl and one boy is drawn. The ones who get drawn get the honor of going to the Hunger Games.

... Well. They used to, anyway.

[glaciates]

[Apparently this is a bad thing. "Hunger Games" though...???]

So what happened? Why doesn't this take place anymore?

[flagitate]

You know how my profile says I'm a rebel? I was rebelling against the Capitol, the ones who kept the Games going. Our president? He's dead.

Then I put an arrow through the heart of the woman who wanted to continue them. Who wanted to keep them going after hundreds of people died to try to stop them.
